[0033] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present application or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art. Obviously, for ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0034] Figure 1 A flowchart of the method provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0035] Figure 2 A simplified process diagram provided for an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in this application can be purchased from the market or prepared by existing methods.

[0038] During the invention process, the applicant discovered that the mineralogical composition of coal gasification slag includes glass, carbon residue, and mineral crystals, with the glass and carbon residue being predominant, while the mineral crystals primarily consist of various types of quartz, mullite, anorthite, ferrous sulfide, and gypsum. Coal gasification slag is a solid waste residue produced by the fluidized bed gasification process of coal. The carbon residue content of a coal gasification plant is approximately 20%-40%. Currently, this slag has not been effectively utilized and is mostly disposed of by stacking or landfill. This not only causes environmental problems such as land occupation, dust pollution, and water and soil contamination, but also incurs significant disposal costs.

[0039] According to the applicant's analysis, the physical properties that limit the resource utilization of coal gasification furnace slag mainly include: (1) high moisture content: most of the moisture is mainly present in the highly developed void structure of the slag particles, which makes drying difficult and costly; (2) high residual carbon content: the overall fine slag is higher than the coarse slag. The main reason is that the coarse slag is formed by the molten slag in the furnace flowing down along the furnace wall into the gasification furnace quenching chamber, and is quenched and solidified in the water bath. It has a long residence time, high stability, and more complete reaction. The fine slag is unburned carbon particles and fine mineral particles discharged from the outlet under the entrainment of synthesis gas. It has a shorter residence time in the furnace than the coarse slag and is incompletely reacted; (3) unstable properties: the properties of the slag are related to factors such as the properties of the raw coal, the type and process of the gasification furnace, the operating conditions, the composition and amount of additives, and are also affected by the degree of reaction and residence time. Any change in conditions will cause changes in the composition and structure of the gasification furnace slag, resulting in unstable properties and increasing the difficulty of its utilization. Therefore, the utilization field of coal gasification furnace slag is narrow, the added value is low, and the addition amount is small.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for beneficiating coal gasification furnace slag, the method comprising:

[0041] S1. The coal gasification slag is re-selected to obtain re-selection tailings and re-selection concentrates. Generally speaking, the re-selection tailings include quartz, calcite, anhydrite and coarse slag with low carbon content caused by severe coking.

[0042] In some embodiments, the reselection equipment includes at least one of a shaker, a cyclone, and a centrifuge.

[0043] According to the characteristics of coal gasification slag, the gravity separation method is first used to pre-discard the tailings. Specifically, the gravity separation method is used to separate out some quartz, calcite, anhydrite and coarse slag with low carbon content caused by severe coking. This part of the material is heavy material and is used as gravity separation tailings, and the remaining light material is used as gravity separation concentrate.

[0044] S2. The gravity concentrate is concentrated, then subjected to a grinding and classification step to obtain a first fine-grained material that meets the first set grinding fineness;

[0045] In some embodiments, the equipment for the first stage concentration includes at least one of a vibrating dewatering screen and a settling tank.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first set grinding fineness condition includes that the mass proportion of the material with a particle size of -0.074 mm is 70%-95%.

[0047] The applicant found that the mineral dissociation degree is better within this grinding fineness range. If the grinding fineness is further increased, it is easy to cause over-grinding, resulting in mineral muddling, affecting the mineral processing indicators and increasing the grinding cost; if the grinding fineness is reduced, the mineral dissociation degree is poor, resulting in poor mineral processing separation and reduced carbon recovery rate.

[0048] Specifically, the light material enters the first grinding mill after being concentrated and dehydrated, and the grinding fineness is -0.074mm, accounting for 70%-95%.

[0049] S3. Flotation of fine-grained materials that meet the set grinding fineness to obtain carbon concentrate and materials to be recycled;

[0050] In some embodiments, the flotation apparatus comprises a driveless flotation cell.

[0051] The flotation operation is carried out using a transmission-free flotation cell, which improves the flotation efficiency compared to the traditional flotation machine operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, flotation is performed on fine-grained materials that meet the set grinding fineness to obtain carbon concentrate and materials to be recycled, specifically including:

[0053] S3.1. Roughly select the fine-grained material that meets the set grinding fineness to obtain the material to be refined and the material to be recycled;

[0054] S3.2. The material to be concentrated is concentrated to obtain carbon concentrate.

[0055] The following is a specific explanation using secondary concentration as an example. The grinding products react with flotation agents and enter the transmissionless flotation tank for flotation operation. The foam from the roughing operation enters the first selection operation, and the foam from the first selection operation enters the second selection operation. The foam from the second selection operation is the final carbon concentrate. The selected underflow is returned to the previous operation in turn for re-selection.

[0056] S4. The material to be reused is concentrated in two stages, and then subjected to two stages of grinding and two stages of classification to obtain a second fine-grained material that meets the second set grinding fineness;

[0057] In some embodiments, the secondary concentration equipment includes at least one of a vibrating dewatering screen and a sedimentation tank.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second setting condition for grinding fineness includes that the mass proportion of materials with a particle size of -0.074 mm is 60%-85%.

[0059] The applicant found that within this grinding fineness range, the minerals to be recycled can be dissociated. If the grinding fineness is ≤60%, the minerals are not fully dissociated; if the grinding fineness is ≥85%, over-grinding is likely to occur, and the grinding cost is increased.

[0060] Specifically, the bottom flow of the roughing operation enters the second-stage grinding mill after concentration and dehydration, and the grinding fineness of -0.074mm accounts for 60%-85%.

[0061] S5. Scavenging the second fine-grained material that meets the second set grinding fineness to obtain scavenging foam and flotation tailings; and recycling the scavenging foam to the flotation.

[0062] Specifically, the secondary grinding products enter the scavenging operation, the scavenging foam returns to the roughing operation for recycling, the scavenging underflow serves as flotation tailings, and the flotation tailings and gravity separation tailings are combined into the final total tailings.

[0063] Particles with high residual carbon content have a relatively low density and are prone to float on the slurry during the grinding process, resulting in insufficient dissociation of some particles, which is not conducive to the enrichment of fine carbon. By adjusting the grinding process, strengthening the selective grinding of coal gasification furnace slag, and adding secondary grinding, the carbon recovery rate can be improved.

[0064] The above grinding scheme can prevent the over-grinding of residual carbon in the slag, which will cause excessive coal slime, increase the dosage of reagents, and affect the flotation index, and can also fully dissociate the residual carbon in the coarse slag particles, making it easier for flotation recovery.

[0065] With the above design, some quartz, calcite, anhydrite and coarse slag with low carbon content caused by severe coking are first separated by gravity separation. Compared with the full-component grinding and flotation process, this can reduce grinding energy consumption, increase the concentration of residual carbon in the flotation process, and reduce the amount of reagents used. The flotation operation is carried out using a transmission-free flotation cell, which improves the flotation efficiency compared with the traditional flotation machine operation. In order to overcome the low dissociation degree of carbon particles caused by coking, the underflow after roughing separation is subjected to secondary grinding to improve the dissociation degree and the recovery rate of residual carbon.

[0066] Based on a general inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides a beneficiation system for coal gasification slag, the system comprising: a gravity separation unit, a first screening unit, a flotation unit, a second screening unit and a scavenging unit.

[0069] a flotation unit for flotating fine-grained materials meeting a set grinding fineness to obtain carbon concentrate and materials to be recycled, the flotation unit being connected to the first classification unit for receiving the first fine-grained materials;

[0070] a second screening unit for performing a second-stage concentration on the material to be recycled, followed by a second-stage grinding and a second-stage classification to obtain a second fine-grained material meeting a second set grinding fineness, wherein the second screening unit comprises a second concentration unit, a second grinding unit, and a second classification unit connected in series, and the second concentration unit is connected to the flotation unit to receive the material to be recycled; and

The specific steps of the coal gasification slag beneficiation method can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the coal gasification slag beneficiation system adopts part or all of the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

The experimental methods in the following examples where specific conditions are not specified are usually measured in accordance with national standards.

The foam of the roughing operation reacts with the flotation agent to perform a fine selection operation to obtain The foam from the first selection reacts with the flotation agent to carry out the second selection operation, and the obtained foam from the second selection operation is the final carbon concentrate; the underflow of the first selection operation returns to the roughing operation, and the underflow of the second selection operation returns to the first selection operation; the underflow of the roughing operation is concentrated and dehydrated by the vibrating dewatering screen and then subjected to two-stage closed-circuit grinding to obtain a slurry material with a particle size of -0.074mm accounting for 50%, which is reacted with the flotation agent for a scavenging operation, and the scavenging foam returns to the roughing operation. The scavenging underflow is the flotation tailings, and the flotation tailings and the shaking table tailings are combined into the final total tailings. The obtained carbon concentrate yield is 17%, and the loss on ignition is 70%.
