Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis hazardous waste treatment, and specifically to a method for recovering carbonaceous materials from carbon-containing waste in aluminum electrolysis. Background Art

[0002] During the aluminum electrolysis production process, carbon-containing hazardous wastes such as waste cathode carbon blocks and carbon slag rich in fluorine / cyanide toxic substances are continuously generated, posing a serious pollution risk to the ecological environment. At the same time, carbon-containing waste in aluminum electrolysis usually contains 30%-40% low-sulfur petroleum coke (carbon slag) or 50%-70% high-quality graphite carbon (waste cathode carbon blocks), which has significant recycling value. Therefore, the clean and efficient recovery of carbonaceous materials from carbon-containing waste in aluminum electrolysis has become a hot topic of concern in the industry.

[0003] Patent document CN103726074B discloses a method for recycling aluminum electrolysis waste materials to produce electrolyte for aluminum production and recover carbon. The crushed waste cathode carbon blocks or carbon slag are subjected to magnetic separation to remove iron, and then diesel oil and coal flotation GF oil are added to a microbubble countercurrent flotation column. After the foam is filtered by pressure and dried, carbon powder with a fixed carbon content ≥75% is obtained. However, during the flotation process, the separation of carbonaceous materials from toxic substances is not thorough, and the purity is relatively low, which limits the resource utilization of the recovered carbonaceous materials.

[0004] Patent document CN111196609B discloses a method for recovering carbonaceous materials from waste carbon materials in aluminum electrolysis. The sieved carbon slag or waste cathode carbon blocks are mixed with 18 mol / L sulfuric acid solution and subjected to primary roasting and secondary roasting at 100-300°C and 300-600°C respectively to obtain the recovered carbonaceous materials. However, it is difficult to remove complex aluminum silicates during the sulfation roasting process, and it is easy to react with calcium-containing components to form complex insoluble minerals, resulting in relatively low purity of the recovered carbonaceous materials.

[0005] Patent document CN112108489A discloses a high-temperature vacuum treatment method, treatment device and operation method for aluminum electrolysis waste cathode, carbon slag or silicon carbide bricks. The waste cathode carbon blocks or carbon slag are refined and mixed, and then placed in a high-temperature vacuum treatment device, and vacuum distilled at 30-500 Pa and 600-1100°C for 2-8 h to obtain carbonaceous materials with a content ≥80%. However, the high-temperature vacuum treatment process has high energy consumption, and at the same time, the purity of the recovered carbonaceous materials is relatively low.

[0006] Patent document CN107285354B discloses a method for continuous separation of carbonaceous hazardous waste in the aluminum industry by low-temperature melting infiltration and the resulting products. The waste cathode carbon blocks and carbon slag are crushed and de-ironed, and then subjected to low-temperature electrocalcination and high-temperature electrocalcination at 1000 - 1200 °C and 1300 - 1600 °C respectively to obtain a carbonaceous material with a fixed carbon content ≥ 99%. However, maintaining both the low-temperature electrocalcination and high-temperature electrocalcination processes requires a large amount of energy consumption, and at the same time, the fluorine-containing flue gas will severely corrode the inner lining of the equipment and the conveying pipeline.
