Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid waste backfilling technology, and in particular to a waste alkali-activated cemented vanadium extraction tailings backfilling material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Vanadium extraction tailings refer to the solid waste remaining after vanadium is extracted from vanadium ore through physical and / or chemical processes. Currently, the utilization rate of vanadium extraction tailings is low, and large-scale tailings accumulation occupies land, damages the ecological environment, and restricts the development of the vanadium extraction industry. The current stockpile of vanadium extraction tailings is as high as billions of tons. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of vanadium extraction tailings has been extensively studied. Using vanadium extraction tailings for backfilling in mining goaf areas can not only reduce waste emissions and protect the mining environment, but also reduce the preparation cost of backfill materials. However, there is limited research on the preparation of backfill materials from vanadium extraction tailings. Although vanadium extraction tailings contain a certain amount of silicon and aluminum, their phase structure is more complex than that of common siliceous and aluminous raw materials such as slag and fly ash. In vanadium extraction tailings, silicon and aluminum mostly exist as stable mineral phases with high crystallinity and high polymerization, making the release of active components difficult.
[0003] Ethylene alkali wastewater (i.e., ethylene alkali residue wastewater) is wastewater generated during the alkali washing process of ethylene plant cracking gas to remove acidic gases (mainly H2S and CO2) from the cracked gas. It is characterized by its complex composition, containing high concentrations of organic matter, sulfides, inorganic salts, and odorous volatile components such as thiols. After wet oxidation treatment, sodium sulfide and organic sulfides in the ethylene alkali residue wastewater are converted into thiosulfate and sulfate ions, but problems such as high COD, high color, and difficulty in resource utilization still exist.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a backfill material for vanadium extraction tailings activated by alkali and its preparation method, so as to solve the problem of resource utilization of vanadium extraction tailings and ethylene waste alkali solution. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a waste alkali-activated cemented vanadium extraction tailings backfill material and its preparation method, thereby solving the technical problems of limited research on the preparation of backfill materials for vanadium extraction tailings and the difficulty in resource utilization of ethylene waste alkali liquid in the prior art.

[0007] Secondly, this invention provides a method for preparing a backfill material for vanadium extraction tailings activated by alkali, comprising the following steps: Solid raw materials, alkaline activator and water are mixed evenly, and then molded and cured to obtain waste alkali activated cemented vanadium extraction tailings backfill material.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: This invention utilizes ethylene alkali residue wastewater, pretreated by wet oxidation, as an alkaline activator to stimulate vanadium extraction tailings, achieving waste-to-waste treatment and reducing production costs. Simultaneously, the method improves the comprehensive utilization rate of vanadium extraction tailings and ethylene alkali residue wastewater, reducing the environmental risks caused by vanadium extraction tailings accumulation and ethylene alkali residue wastewater. The backfill material of this invention meets backfill strength requirements, with a 28-day compressive strength exceeding 2 MPa, and the leachate meets environmental standards, making it suitable for backfilling and remediation of mining goaf areas. The preparation method of this invention is simple and easy to implement. Detailed Implementation
[0009] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0010] Vanadium extraction tailings refer to the solid waste remaining after vanadium is extracted from vanadium ore through physical and / or chemical processes. Currently, the utilization rate of vanadium extraction tailings is low, and large quantities of tailings are stockpiled, encroaching on land, damaging the ecological environment, and hindering the development of the vanadium extraction industry. Using vanadium extraction tailings for backfilling mined-out areas can not only reduce waste emissions and protect the mining environment but also lower the cost of backfill material preparation. However, there is limited research on the preparation of backfill materials from vanadium extraction tailings.
[0011] Ethylene alkali wastewater (i.e., ethylene alkali residue wastewater) is wastewater generated during the alkali washing process of ethylene plant cracking gas to remove acidic gases (mainly H2S and CO2) from the cracking gas. It is characterized by its complex composition, containing high concentrations of organic matter, sulfides, inorganic salts, and odorous volatile components such as thiols. After wet oxidation treatment, sodium sulfide and organic sulfides in the ethylene alkali residue wastewater are converted into thiosulfate and sulfate ions, but problems such as high COD, high color, and difficulty in resource utilization still exist.
[0012] This invention utilizes ethylene alkali residue wastewater, after wet oxidation pretreatment (its main components include sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfate, wherein the sodium sulfate generated after pretreatment acts as a curing agent to enhance the strength of the backing material), as an alkaline activator to activate vanadium extraction tailings, thereby achieving waste-to-waste treatment, improving the resource utilization rate of vanadium extraction tailings and ethylene alkali residue wastewater, and obtaining backing materials that meet the strength and leachate requirements.
[0013] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a backfill material for vanadium extraction tailings activated by alkali, the raw materials of which include: solid raw materials, alkaline activator and water; wherein, by mass percentage, the solid raw materials include: 60%-80% vanadium extraction tailings, 5%-15% gypsum, 5%-15% quicklime, and 10%-20% cement; the alkaline activator is obtained by wet oxidation pretreatment of ethylene alkali slag wastewater; the mass of the alkaline activator accounts for 10%-25% of the mass of the solid raw materials, and the mass of water accounts for 15%-30% of the mass of the solid raw materials.
[0014] In this invention, vanadium extraction tailings, under the action of an alkaline activator, dissolve active silica-alumina components to participate in the cementitious reaction, and also act as aggregate to fill the gaps and enhance the strength of the filling material. The hydration product of quicklime, Ca(OH)2, is the key calcium source for generating cementitious products, which is beneficial for activating the potential activity of vanadium extraction tailings. Gypsum reacts with active aluminum and calcium ions in the system to generate ettringite, which can quickly form a network structure and enhance early strength. Cement provides stable early hydration products (CSH gel), further enhancing early strength.
[0015] In this invention, by means of wet oxidation pretreatment, the sulfur in sodium sulfide and / or organic sulfides in ethylene alkali slag wastewater is converted into thiosulfate and / or sulfate, effectively removing the malodor and toxicity of ethylene alkali slag. In particular, highly toxic sulfides and some recalcitrant organic matter are oxidized into harmless or low-toxic substances, thereby reducing the sulfide content in the leachate of the backfill material to meet the Class III requirements of GB / T 14848-2017 Groundwater Quality Standard. At the same time, the generated sodium sulfate acts as a curing agent to improve the strength of the backfill material.
[0016] In this embodiment, the ethylene alkali residue wastewater includes the following components: inorganic sulfides (in the form of S... 2- (Calculated) 30-60g / L, sodium carbonate 40-50g / L, sodium hydroxide 10-30g / L, COD 20-50g / L, pH>13.
[0017] In this embodiment, the wet oxidation pretreatment process includes: using air and / or oxygen as an oxidant to perform wet oxidation pretreatment on ethylene alkali residue wastewater.

[0019] Preferably, a catalyst is added during the wet oxidation pretreatment process.

[0028] In this embodiment, the vanadium extraction tailings contain more than 60% with a particle size of -0.074 mm and more than 50% with a particle size of -0.038 mm. By controlling the particle size of the vanadium extraction tailings within the above-mentioned range, this invention ensures that its surface can fully contact the alkaline activator to rapidly release active silicon-aluminum components to participate in the gelation reaction.

[0031] Preferably, the solid raw materials and the mixture are mixed evenly by stirring for 10-20 minutes.
[0032] This invention does not limit the molding method, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation. For example, casting molding or compression molding can be used.
[0033] Preferably, the molding process includes: pouring the mixed slurry into a mold, pre-curing, and then demolding.
[0034] The pre-curing conditions are as follows: curing temperature 20-25℃, curing humidity 90%-95%, and curing time 24-36 hours.
[0035] In this embodiment, the curing conditions are: curing temperature of 20-25℃, curing humidity of 90%-95%, and curing time of 14-28 days.

[0069] The comparison of Examples 1-3 shows that, within a suitable pH range, the compressive strength of the filling material increases with increasing pH. Although the content of sulfate, sulfide, and ammonia nitrogen in the leachate performance test also increases, it still meets the Class III requirements of GB / T 14848-2017 Groundwater Quality Standard.

[0071] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 2, a mixed solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfate with a pH of 10.11 was used as an alkaline activator. The strength of the filling material was not much different from that in Example 1. This shows that using the pretreated ethylene alkali residue wastewater formed by wet oxidation pretreatment diluted with water to the target pH as an alkaline activator can achieve the same effect as using sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfate as raw materials. This is not only conducive to the resource utilization of ethylene alkali residue wastewater, but also conducive to reducing production costs.
[0072] Compared with Example 1, the proportion of vanadium extraction tailings in Comparative Example 3 was too low. Although the strength of the backing material was improved and the performance of the leachate met the requirements, the production cost was increased. In Comparative Example 4, the proportion of vanadium extraction tailings was too high, and the strength of the backing material decreased significantly. This shows that the proportion of vanadium extraction tailings is within an appropriate range, which can balance performance and cost.
[0073] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Examples 5-7, where gypsum, quicklime, and cement were not added, the strength of the resulting backfill materials was significantly reduced. This indicates that by using vanadium extraction tailings, gypsum, quicklime, and cement as solid raw materials, their synergistic effect can be achieved, resulting in backfill materials with high strength and leachate that meet the Class III requirements of GB / T 14848-2017 Groundwater Quality Standard.
[0074] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made in accordance with the technical concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
