Benefits of technology

The present invention provides two methods for eluting calcium (Ca) from steelmaking slag and recovering the Ca that is eluted. These methods allow for a larger amount of Ca to be removed from the slag and into a CO2 water solution. The technical effects include improved efficiency in utilizing Ca from slag and reduced environmental impact of slag disposal.

Problems solved by technology

However, the salts of the above compounds with the acid generated in the method are difficult to reuse.
For example, calcium chloride generated by eluting Ca from steelmaking slag into hydrochloric acid can be reused as an oxide by heating the same, however, the cost for processing toxic chloride gas generated during the heating is disadvantageously high.
Recovering Ca in steelmaking slag by eluting the same into an acidic aqueous solution also require high costs for purchasing acids and disposing the acids after the eluting process.
The disadvantage regarding the usage of acids, meanwhile, is expected to become irrelevant when Ca is recovered by eluting the same from steelmaking slag into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a “CO2 aqueous solution”) (see PTLs 1 to 3).

first embodiment

Modification of First Embodiment

[0084]In the first embodiment, the contact step may be a step (hereinafter, also referred to as a “modified contact step”) of bringing steelmaking slag subjected to the magnetic separation into contact with an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide while fracturing or pulverizing the steelmaking slag, or grinding the surface of the steelmaking slag (hereinafter, also collectively and simply referred to as a “fracturing or the like”).

Modified Contact Step: Bringing Steelmaking Slag into Contact With CO2 Aqueous Solution While Fracturing or the Like

[0085]The elution of Ca from steelmaking slag occurs upon contact of Ca compounds or Ca with a CO2 aqueous solution in the vicinity of the surface of the steelmaking slag or inside the steelmaking slag. Therefore, during the contacting of steelmaking slag with a CO2 aqueous solution, subjecting the steelmaking slag in contact with the CO2 aqueous solution to fracturing or the like increases the surface ar...

second embodiment

[0090]Each of FIGS. 2 to 5 is a flowchart of a method according to another embodiment of the present invention, for eluting Ca from steelmaking slag. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 5, each method according to the present embodiment for eluting Ca from steelmaking slag includes a step of subjecting steelmaking slag to magnetic separation (Step S110: magnetic separation step); at least one of steps of subjecting the steelmaking slag to hydration treatment (Steps S130-1 to S130-5: hereinafter also referred to as “hydration step” each); and bringing the steelmaking slag subjected to the magnetic separation and hydration treatment into contact with a CO2 aqueous solution (Step S120: contact step). The description for the magnetic separation step and contact step is omitted in the present embodiment as these steps can be performed in the same manner as in the above described first embodiment.

first modification

of Second Embodiment

[0124]When the hydration step is the immersion and stirring in the first to third modes of the second embodiment, the immersed steelmaking slag may be subjects to the fracturing or the like at the same time (hereinafter also referred to as “modified hydration step”).

Modified Hydration Step: Bringing Steelmaking Slag into Contact With CO2 Aqueous Solution While Fracturing or the Like

[0125]Reactions during the above described hydration treatment occur upon contact of Ca compounds with water in the vicinity of the surface of the steelmaking slag or inside the steelmaking slag. While water permeates through the steelmaking slag to some extent, a larger amount of water contacts the vicinity of the surface. Ca hydrates is thus more likely to be generated in the vicinity of the surface of the steelmaking slag. In addition, when components contained in the steelmaking slag dissolve in the water used for the hydration treatment, for example, Fe, Al, Si and Mn, and / or hydr...

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for eluting Ca from steelmaking slag such that a large amount of Ca can be eluted from the steelmaking slag into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. The present invention executes, in this order: a step for removing an iron-containing compound from steelmaking slag by performing magnetic separation on the steelmaking slag; and a step for bringing the steelmaking slag subjected to magnetic separation into contact with an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. In addition, the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide and the steelmaking slag are brought into contact with each other while the steelmaking slag is being pulverized or the surface of the steelmaking slag is being ground.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for eluting calcium from steelmaking slag, and a method for recovering calcium from steelmaking slag.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Steelmaking slag (such as converter slag, pretreatment slag, secondary refining slag and electric furnace slag) generated during a steelmaking process is used in various applications, for example, as cement materials, road base materials, construction materials and fertilizers (see NPLs 1 to 3). Some of steelmaking slag not used for the above applications is landfilled.[0003]Steelmaking slag is known to contain elements, such as calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), phosphorus (P), titanium (Ti), chrome (Cr) and sulfur (S). The element contained most in steelmaking slag is Ca which is used in a large amount during a steelmaking process, and usually, Fe is the second most contained element. Typically, Ca and Fe occupy about 20 mass % to 50 mass % and about...
