Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrofluoric acid production, specifically relating to a resource recovery process for sodium hydrogen fluoride mother liquor byproducts. Background Technology
[0002] Fluorosilicic acid is an important byproduct of industries such as phosphate fertilizer and hydrofluoric acid production. Its resource utilization can not only reduce environmental pollution but also create significant economic benefits. Currently, the process of producing hydrofluoric acid from fluorosilicic acid is widely used in industrial production, but the treatment of the fluorine-containing mother liquor, a byproduct of the sodium hydrogen fluoride process in this production system, has always been a technical challenge for the industry.
[0003] In the production process of hydrofluoric acid from fluorosilicic acid, the sodium bifluoride synthesis unit generates a large amount of by-product mother liquor containing fluorine, ammonia, and silicon. The fluoride ion concentration in these mother liquors is typically 150-250 g / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration is 100-200 g / L. Direct discharge of these mother liquors would not only cause serious environmental pollution but also result in a waste of approximately 130-230 kg of fluorine resources per ton of mother liquor.
[0004] In existing technologies, the treatment of sodium bifluoride mother liquor and its derivatives, which are byproducts of the hydrofluoric acid production process from fluorosilicic acid, mainly focuses on the following aspects:
[0005] A common method is to react fluorosilicic acid with sodium fluoride to produce sodium fluorosilicate. For example, CN117361572A discloses a method for recycling sodium fluorosilicate waste residue, a byproduct of the new energy industry. This method involves treating the waste residue through secondary acid leaching, washing and filtration, vacuum separation, and alkaline desilication to ultimately obtain high-purity sodium fluoride. While this method achieves effective utilization of byproduct resources, the process is complex and fails to provide a solution for the ammonia nitrogen problem in the mother liquor.
[0006] Another technical approach is to directly prepare sodium hydrogen fluoride using fluorosilicic acid. CN106241834B discloses a technology for preparing sodium hydrogen fluoride using fluorosilicic acid, a byproduct of phosphorus chemical industry. This technology achieves the preparation of sodium hydrogen fluoride through steps such as the reaction of fluorosilicic acid with sodium fluoride, the reaction of low-concentration hydrofluoric acid with sodium fluoride, and the reaction of sodium fluorosilicate with sodium carbonate. However, this method fails to effectively solve the problem of comprehensive recovery of fluorine resources from the mother liquor, resulting in low resource utilization.
[0007] CN106348248B proposes a method for preparing hydrogen fluoride and sodium fluoride from fluorosilicic acid. This method involves reacting fluorosilicic acid with ammonium hydrogen fluoride, ammonium fluorosilicate with ammonia, and ammonium hydrogen fluoride with sodium carbonate to achieve the preparation of hydrogen fluoride and sodium fluoride. While this method utilizes readily available and low-cost raw materials, the process is relatively complex and requires high-quality equipment.
[0008] Regarding the resource utilization of fluorosilicic acid, CN104326475B discloses a method for preparing potassium fluoride and co-producing silica using fluorosilicic acid. This method solves the problem of impurity accumulation in the raw fluorosilicic acid solution through stepwise alkaline hydrolysis and mother liquor purification processes. While this method achieves high-quality utilization of fluorine and silicon resources, it fails to provide a direct solution for the treatment of the mother liquor produced as a byproduct of hydrofluoric acid production from fluorosilicic acid.
[0009] CN109179330B proposes a wet-process technology for producing anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and zeolite molecular sieves from sodium fluorosilicate, a byproduct of phosphoric acid production. This technology achieves the preparation of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and the co-production of zeolite molecular sieves through steps such as the reaction of sodium fluorosilicate with sodium hydroxide and the reaction of sodium fluoride with lime slurry. While this process effectively utilizes sodium fluorosilicate, a byproduct of phosphoric acid production, it fails to provide a solution to the ammonia nitrogen problem in the mother liquor from the hydrofluoric acid production process.
[0010] The existing technologies have the following shortcomings: First, when treating fluoride wastewater using the traditional lime precipitation method, improper control of the fluoride-to-calcium ratio can easily lead to a calcium fluoride purity of less than 90%, and the fluoride content in the wastewater is difficult to stably reduce to below 20 mg / L. Second, existing technologies mostly use a single precipitation or neutralization process to treat the mother liquor, lacking a systematic resource recovery plan, resulting in treatment costs as high as 800-1200 yuan / ton, and a resource utilization rate of less than 60%. In addition, existing technologies fail to simultaneously solve the problems of fluoride resource recovery and ammonia nitrogen pollutant treatment in the mother liquor, making it difficult to achieve a balance between economic and environmental benefits.
[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a resource-based treatment process that can efficiently recover valuable elements such as fluorine and silicon from the impurity-containing mother liquor of the sodium fluoride synthesis unit in the fluorosilicic acid to hydrofluoric acid production system, while simultaneously solving the ammonia nitrogen pollution problem, so as to achieve efficient resource utilization and effective environmental protection. Summary of the Invention
[0012] To address the technical challenges of wasting fluorine resources in the byproduct mother liquor of the sodium bifluoride synthesis unit in the fluorosilicic acid production system, excessive pollutant emissions, low purity and difficulty in consistently meeting standards under traditional treatment methods, and the lack of a systematic resource recovery solution in existing technologies, this invention provides a resource recovery process for sodium bifluoride mother liquor byproducts. This process aims to achieve efficient fluoride resource recovery, reduced treatment costs, ensure wastewater discharge compliance, and increase product added value.
[0013] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: to provide a resource recovery process for sodium bifluoride mother liquor byproducts, including the following steps:
[0014] (1) Sodium fluoride preparation: Sodium hydrogen fluoride mother liquor is used as raw material, hydrogen hydroxide solution is added, the reaction is stirred until complete, ammonia is evaporated by heating, and slurry is obtained after cooling. The slurry is filtered to obtain sodium fluoride crystals and sodium fluoride mother liquor.
[0015] NH4F + NaOH → NaF + NH3 + H2O (1)
[0016] (2) Preparation of sodium fluorosilicate: Using the sodium fluoride mother liquor from step (1) as raw material, add silica and fluorosilicic acid solution, filter, and obtain sodium fluorosilicate and F-containing waste liquid;
[0017] 6NaF+2H2SiF6+SiO2→3Na2SiF6+H2O (2)
[0018] (3) Treatment of F-containing waste liquid: Add quicklime and hydrated lime to the F-containing waste liquid, stir and react completely, and then separate after sedimentation to obtain calcium fluoride and qualified wastewater for discharge.
[0019] Further, in step (1), the amount of sodium hydroxide added is: the Na:F molar ratio is 1.05 to 1.08:1, and the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 20 to 50 wt%.
[0020] Furthermore, the specific process of step (1) is as follows:
[0021] ① Use all the sodium bifluoride mother liquor as a base, and then add sodium hydroxide solution dropwise; or use part of the sodium bifluoride mother liquor as a base, and then add the remaining sodium bifluoride mother liquor and sodium hydroxide solution dropwise.
[0022] ② Use the slurry or sodium fluoride mother liquor obtained in the previous step (1) as a base, and simultaneously add the sodium hydrogen fluoride mother liquor and sodium hydroxide solution to be treated.
[0023] Furthermore, in step (1), the temperature for ammonia stripping is 70–95°C, and the stripping time is 1–3 hours.
[0024] Furthermore, in step (2), the amount of silica added is calculated using the following formula:
[0025]
[0026] Among them, C F The concentration of mother liquor F (g / L), C SiO2 V represents the concentration of silica in the mother liquor (g / L). 母液 denoted as the volume of sodium fluoride mother liquor (L), m as the mass of added silica (g), and R as the F:Si molar ratio.
[0027] Furthermore, in step (2), the amount of fluorosilicic acid solution added is calculated using the following formula:
[0028]
[0029] Among them, C F The concentration of F in the sodium bifluoride mother liquor is (g / L), V 母液M is the volume of sodium bifluoride mother liquor (L). H2SiF6 W represents the relative molecular mass of fluorosilicic acid. H2SiF6 The mass concentration of the fluorosilicic acid solution is 15–20 wt%, m H2SiF6 The amount (g) of fluorosilicic acid solution added.
[0030] Furthermore, quicklime and hydrated lime are mixed to achieve a Ca:F molar ratio of 2.0–2.5:1. When the fluoride concentration in the F-containing wastewater is ≥0.5 g / L, quicklime accounts for 55–65 wt% of the total quicklime and hydrated lime; when the fluoride concentration in the F-containing wastewater is <0.5 g / L, quicklime accounts for 25–35 wt% of the total quicklime and hydrated lime.
[0031] Furthermore, the reaction conditions for step (3) are: temperature 50-70℃, stirring speed 300-400r / min, reaction time 1-2h, so that the F content in the wastewater is ≤10mg / L and the ammonia nitrogen is ≤15mg / L.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0033] (1) High resource recovery efficiency: By optimizing the Na:F molar ratio and feeding method, 300-442 kg of sodium fluoride can be recovered per ton of mother liquor, with a purity of over 98%; by adjusting the F:Si molar ratio, 105-145 kg of sodium fluorosilicate can be recovered per ton of mother liquor, with a purity of over 98%; the overall fluorine resource recovery rate reaches 99%, which is significantly higher than the 60% recovery rate of existing technologies;
[0034] (2) Significantly reduced processing costs: Compared with the traditional process with a processing cost of 800-1200 yuan / ton, the processing cost of the present invention is reduced to 450-600 yuan / ton, a reduction of 40%, resulting in significant economic benefits;
[0035] (3) Environmental protection indicators are stably met: Through the optimization of the quicklime and hydrated lime compound system and the Ca:F molar ratio, the fluoride content in wastewater is stably controlled at 8-10 mg / L and the ammonia nitrogen content is ≤15 mg / L, which meets the first-class standard of the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB8978-1996) and solves the problem that the traditional lime precipitation method is difficult to achieve stable compliance.
[0036] (4) High added value of products: The recovered sodium fluoride can be recycled as raw material for the production of sodium hydrogen fluoride, and sodium fluorosilicate can be used in the enamel industry. Based on the scale of mother liquor treatment per 10,000 tons, the annual output value can be increased by about RMB 5 million to RMB 8 million, achieving the dual goals of waste resource utilization and economic benefits.
