Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical resource recycling and green metallurgy technology, specifically relating to a method for the synergistic recovery and high-value utilization of all components of metallurgical solid waste. Background Technology

[0002] The smelting and production process of Panzhihua vanadium-titanium magnetite mines generates a large amount of solid waste, such as iron-manganese slag, vanadium-extraction converter sludge, and blast furnace gas sludge. These solid wastes not only occupy a large amount of land but also contain various valuable metals such as iron, zinc, manganese, indium, gallium, and scandium. Improper disposal can easily lead to environmental risks such as heavy metal pollution. Current methods for treating these metallurgical solid wastes have the following main shortcomings.

[0003] Pyrometallurgical processes: While traditional reduction smelting can recover iron, it struggles to effectively enrich and recover volatile metals such as zinc, indium, and gallium, and generally suffers from high energy consumption and low recovery rates. Hydrometallurgical processes: Although wet leaching can extract some valuable metals, it typically involves long processes, high costs, and struggles to achieve synergistic and efficient recovery of all valuable components. Difficulty in separating complex components and low efficiency in removing associated harmful elements are common problems. Existing methods mostly target single solid wastes or single target metals, lacking a systematic solution for the synergistic treatment of multiple solid wastes to achieve full component recovery, resulting in low resource utilization efficiency and poor economics. Secondary slag phases after valuable element extraction, if not properly utilized, will still form new solid waste. While there has been some progress in the application of metallurgical slag in the building materials field, such as the preparation of low-carbon multi-component cementitious materials, or its use as thermal insulation fillers and wear-resistant materials through steel slag modification and gas quenching technology, breakthroughs are still needed to achieve large-scale, high-value utilization.

[0018] In step S3 above, the reduction smelting time is 1 to 4 hours.

[0019] In step S3-1 above, the multi-stage condensation specifically involves: the first stage condensate temperature being 80~100℃, recovering gallium-indium alloy; the second stage condensate temperature being 50~80℃, recovering liquid crude zinc; and the third stage condensate temperature being 5~25℃, recovering residual ash.

[0020] In step S3-2 above, the slag is wet-leached with an acidic solution; the acidic solution is a sulfuric acid solution, hydrochloric acid solution, phosphoric acid solution or nitric acid solution, with a concentration of 0.5~5 mol / L; the solid-liquid ratio of the slag to the acidic solution is 1g:3~10mL, the leaching time is 60~150min, and the leaching temperature is 25~90℃.

[0021] In step S3-2 above, the solvent extraction specifically includes the following steps: S3-2-1.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention proposes a method for the synergistic recycling and high-value utilization of all metallurgical solid waste. Its core lies in mixing and formulating solid wastes such as iron-manganese slag, vanadium-extraction converter sludge, and blast furnace gas sludge, optimizing the composition, improving metal recovery efficiency, reducing iron to molten iron by controlling the reducing atmosphere and temperature, and allowing volatile metals such as zinc, indium, and gallium to enter the flue dust. The condensation characteristics of different metals are used to achieve graded dust collection, improving separation efficiency, while scandium is enriched in the slag phase. By optimizing the slag system composition, the scandium enrichment rate is improved, facilitating subsequent wet extraction.

[0030] This invention, through the coupling of reduction smelting and cascade condensation technologies, achieves the synergistic treatment and full-component recovery of various metallurgical solid wastes, demonstrating significant advantages: Environmentally, it achieves the harmlessness and substantial reduction of solid waste, mitigating environmental risks at the source; in terms of resources, through a multi-metal simultaneous recovery pathway, it produces molten iron and crude zinc while enriching strategic metals such as gallium and indium, greatly improving the efficiency of comprehensive resource utilization; economically and technically, this invention utilizes the inherent characteristics of solid waste to reduce energy consumption and costs, and creates considerable economic benefits through diversified product output, ultimately forming an environmentally friendly, resource-efficient, and economically feasible high-value utilization technology path for solid waste. This invention provides an innovative solution for the efficient recovery and high-value utilization of metallurgical solid waste, possessing significant industrial application value. Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the technical problems, solutions, and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments. Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used herein have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0032] This invention mixes vanadium-extraction converter sludge with high iron content, iron-manganese slag, and blast furnace gas sludge to ensure total iron load. Simultaneously, it utilizes the inherent CaO, MgO, SiO2, and Al2O3 components in each solid waste to self-construct a predetermined slag system conducive to iron reduction and scandium enrichment during smelting, reducing the need for external flux additions. Blast furnace gas sludge contains 15-18.5% fixed carbon; using it as part of the raw material is equivalent to introducing an internal reducing agent, significantly reducing the consumption of external coke or pulverized coal, achieving waste-to-waste treatment and energy conservation.

[0033] The mixing ratio of blast furnace gas sludge, iron-manganese slag, and vanadium-extraction converter sludge is crucial for ensuring iron-carbon balance and slag alkalinity. If the proportion of iron-manganese slag or sludge is too high, it may lead to excessive slag volume, overly sticky slag, or alkalinity imbalance, hindering iron aggregation and separation, and diluting scandium concentration. If the ratio is too low, the synergistic effect between solid wastes cannot be fully utilized, resulting in insufficient internal carbon and requiring additional reducing agent. Therefore, the preferred mass ratio of blast furnace gas sludge, iron-manganese slag, and vanadium-extraction converter sludge is 1:0.2~1:0.4~1. This mass ratio ensures sufficient iron reduction, while the total amount of internal carbon and external reducing agent meets the reduction requirements of all metal oxides, and the resulting slag has suitable fluidity and scandium enrichment capacity.

[0034] In this invention, carbothermic reduction is performed under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen / argon), avoiding secondary oxidation of the metal. By controlling the temperature at 800~1500℃, iron oxides are reduced to liquid iron, while metals or their compounds with lower boiling points, such as Zn, Ga, and In, are reduced and directly volatilized into the flue gas, thus achieving complete separation from the molten iron.

[0035] This invention utilizes a stepped condensation process to efficiently separate and enrich flue gas rich in various volatile metals. Based on the differences in condensation temperatures of different metal vapors, physical classification is achieved by setting condensation zones with progressively decreasing temperatures. Ga, In, and their alloys have relatively high condensation temperatures; therefore, condensation into a liquid Ga-In alloy at 80-100°C is preferred, achieving initial separation from zinc. If the first-stage temperature is lower than the dew point of Ga and In, they will enter the second stage and mix with zinc, causing separation failure and difficulties in subsequent extraction. The second-stage temperature is crucial for ensuring zinc condenses into a liquid; excessively high temperatures result in incomplete zinc condensation, while excessively low temperatures may clog the pipeline. Therefore, Zn is preferably condensed into liquid crude zinc at 50-80°C, resulting in high purity, which can be directly sold as a product or further refined. The remaining trace amounts of metal vapor and entrained dust are recovered as residual ash at 5-25°C, which may contain other trace valuable elements; this process prevents their emission into the atmosphere.

[0036] In this invention, by controlling the slag system and using wet scandium extraction, the rare strategic metal scandium enriched in the slag is selectively dissolved into the solution for subsequent high-purity recovery through solvent extraction and other methods. An acidic solution with a concentration of 0.5~5 mol / L is used, and under moderate heating (60~80℃), Sc preferentially enters the solution, while large amounts of elements such as Ca and Si form precipitates such as calcium sulfate or are inhibited from dissolving, remaining in the leaching slag, thus achieving selective scandium leaching.

[0037] In this invention, calcium- and silicon-containing leaching residue is mixed with cement clinker at a mass ratio of 1:4 to 10 and then ground into fine powder to obtain low-carbon cement. This achieves a completely closed-loop process with zero waste discharge, and maximizes the utilization of the final solid residue. After acid leaching, the main components of the leaching residue are SiO2, CaSO4, and unreacted calcium silicate, which are precisely the siliceous and calcareous raw materials required for cement production, as well as setting regulators (gypsum). Therefore, it can be used as a high-quality cement admixture or to replace part of the clinker in the production of low-carbon cement without complex processing. This not only completely eliminates secondary solid waste but also has significant carbon emission reduction benefits due to the reduction in cement clinker usage.
