Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mine environmental protection treatment, and particularly relates to a method for treating slow-release pollution of ion-type rare earth tailing residual leaching agent. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the long-term ammonia-nitrogen pollution caused by the slow release of residual ammonium salt in ion-type rare earth tailings after being leached by the ammonium salt, at present, the magnesium salt in-situ leaching process using magnesium sulfate as a leaching agent is mainly used in the ion-type rare earth mining in Gannan area. However, the process does not solve the problem of a large amount of residual leaching agent in the tailings after ion-type rare earth leaching and long-term slow release. Instead, the process only replaces the ammonium salt by using the higher threshold of magnesium ion discharge. The ion-type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching will still have magnesium ions, sulfate ions and the like gradually released into the surrounding environment under the action of rainwater leaching and other factors, and it is still possible to cause the problem of excessive content of related elements in the soil and surrounding water in the mining area.
[0003] In view of the slow release of the leaching agent remaining in the ion-type rare earth ore tailings after magnesium salt leaching, the mine currently uses a mode of environmental protection bottom processing of water washing + tail water treatment station. After the leaching is completed, a part of the leaching agent ions are washed away with clean water, and the water area affected by the subsequent slow release of the leaching agent ions is continuously monitored. Therefore, a tail water treatment station is arranged downstream of the mine watershed. Through continuous monitoring of the content level of the leaching agent ions in the upstream water area of the mine watershed, an emergency response mechanism for the content of the leaching agent ions exceeding the standard is established. Once it is found that the leaching agent ions in the upstream watershed exceed the standard, the downstream tail water treatment system is started immediately. The contaminated river water is blocked by the downstream river interception dam, and the river water is all pumped into the wastewater treatment tank of the tail water treatment station. The river water is treated by chemical precipitation method to reach the standard before being discharged. Although the treatment mode of the mine can solve the slow release pollution problem of the residual leaching agent in the ion-type rare earth tailings after leaching to a certain extent, on the one hand, the slow release of the leaching agent in the tailings into the surrounding water may have caused adverse effects on the watershed water environment, but the influence range is reduced, and the pollution problem has not been solved from the root; on the other hand, the water quantity to be treated by the watershed sewage treatment is large, and the treatment cost is high. Moreover, relevant studies have shown that the ion-type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching can only wash out the residual water-soluble leaching agent ions in the tailings by using clean water washing, and the residual exchangeable leaching agent ions in the tailings cannot be directly washed out by clean water. After the water-soluble leaching agent ions in the tailings are leached out, under the premise that the mine soil has a certain moisture content, in order to maintain the electrolyte balance of the system, the exchangeable leaching agent ions in the tailings will slowly convert into water-soluble leaching agent ions until the charge on the surface of the mine soil reaches balance. This is the main reason why the residual leaching agent ions in the ion-type rare earth tailings still cause long-term slow release pollution after clean water washing. In order to solve this problem from the source, researchers have proposed a method of using leaching agent to concentrate leaching of the residual leaching agent in the ion-type rare earth tailings after leaching. The principle is to use leaching agent (calcium chloride, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, etc.) to leach the residual water-soluble and exchangeable ions in the ion-type rare earth tailings. Although this process of using leaching agent to concentrate leaching of the residual leaching agent in the ion-type rare earth tailings can further alleviate the problem of residual leaching agent in the tailings after the mine is closed, on the one hand, the water quantity and the amount of leaching agent required for the leaching agent concentration leaching are large, and the liquid-solid ratio is usually more than five times; on the other hand, the large amount of use of leaching agent will also cause new residues of leaching agent in the ion-type rare earth tailings. Therefore, the process is currently mainly in the laboratory test stage.
[0004] In summary, there is still a lack of effective treatment method for the slow release pollution problem of the residual leaching agent in the ion-type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching. SUMMARY

In the present application, the first medicament has the following effects: 1. adjusting the pH value of the infiltrated rainwater, the rainwater in the southern red soil region is generally weakly acidic, and existing studies have shown that the lower the pH value of the rainwater, the stronger the elution effect of the residual leaching agent ions in the ionic rare earth tailings, the more obvious the slow-release effect, and the greater the impact on the liquid receiving system, which can significantly shorten the service time of the liquid receiving system pre-embedded medicament; 2. affected by the pH value of the magnesium salt leaching agent, the pH value of the soil in the leached ionic rare earth tailings is between 5 and 6, which is weakly acidic, and the infiltrated water after the injection system pre-embedded medicament unit can also regulate the pH value of the soil in the tailings; 3. in order to avoid the impact of infiltrated water with too low pH value on the solidification effect of the liquid receiving system, the optimal pH range for the solidification reaction of the liquid receiving system is 10-11; 4. the infiltrated water after the injection system pre-embedded medicament mainly contains calcium hydroxide, the hydroxyl ions of which can react with the residual magnesium ions in the tailings to form magnesium hydroxide, and the calcium ions can react with the residual sulfate ions in the tailings to form slightly soluble calcium sulfate, which can play a role in preliminary solidification of magnesium ions and sulfate ions, reducing the content of leaching agent ions released from the tailings soil to the liquid receiving system pre-embedded medicament unit.
[0028] In the present application, the pre-embedding method of the first medicament is preferably as follows: the first medicament is packed into a first sleeve container, and the first sleeve container filled with the first medicament is filled into the injection hole (well).

[0032] In the present application, the pre-embedding method of the second medicament is preferably: the second medicament is packed into a second sleeve container, and the second sleeve container with the second medicament is filled into a liquid collecting channel (hole). In the present application, the second medicament is preferably packed into a nylon cloth bag; the material of the second sleeve container is preferably the same as the above technical solution, which will not be repeated here; the upper half of the second sleeve container is preferably provided with a water permeable small hole. The liquid collecting channel (hole) is generally horizontally punched into the mountain at the foot of the mountain, and the liquid injection hole (well) is vertically punched into the mountain at the top of the mountain, so the first sleeve container is provided with a water permeable small hole at the bottom and around the first sleeve container to facilitate the outflow of water flowing into the first sleeve container; and the second sleeve container is horizontally inserted into the mountain, mainly serving to collect the water flow in the liquid collecting channel (hole), so a water permeable small hole is provided in the upper half of the second sleeve container. In the present application, after the second sleeve container with the second medicament is filled into the liquid collecting channel (hole), the outlet of the liquid collecting channel (hole) is sealed with cement, and a water outlet is reserved at the bottom of the sealing position for seepage water discharge and water quality monitoring; the water (i.e. seepage water) of the liquid collecting channel (hole) is collected by a liquid collecting ditch and discharged to the surrounding water area after adjusting the pH with hydrochloric acid.
[0033] After the first medicament and the second medicament are respectively pre-embedded in the liquid injection hole (well) and the liquid collecting channel (hole) of the ion type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching of the ore, the present application monitors the water quality of the outlet of the liquid collecting channel (hole), and when the concentration of sulfate ions in the outlet water exceeds the specified standard value, the first medicament and the second medicament are replaced. In the embodiment of the present application, the discharge requirement of sulfate ions in the "Ion Type Rare Earth Mine Exploitation Water Pollutant Discharge Standard" (DB361016-2018) is taken as the standard value. In the present application, the method for replacing the first medicament and the second medicament is preferably: the corresponding sleeve container is taken out, the medicament in the sleeve container is replaced, and then the sleeve container is inserted back into the liquid injection hole (well) or the liquid collecting channel (hole). In the embodiment of the present application, the specific replacement operation steps of the first medicament and the second medicament are: first, break the cement seal, pull out the original sleeve container, adjust the medicament ratio according to the slow-release blocking effect, insert the medicament into the sleeve container, insert the sleeve container with the medicament into the liquid injection hole (well) or the liquid collecting channel (hole), reseal with cement, clean out the medicament in the original medicament sleeve, and dispose according to the requirements, and the sleeve container is recycled; wherein the specific adjustment of the medicament ratio according to the slow-release blocking effect refers to the corresponding adjustment of the medicament ratio according to the water flow of the outlet of the liquid collecting channel (hole) and the concentration of magnesium and sulfate ions in the outlet water. The position with higher water flow and slow-release ion concentration needs to relatively reduce the proportion of soil in the medicament composition and increase the proportion of the remaining medicament composition.
[0034] The application utilizes the injection and collection liquid system of ion type rare earth in-situ leaching mine, through the replaceable pre-embedded solidified reagent, and the pre-embedded reagent of the injection liquid system and the pre-embedded reagent of the collection liquid system which are different in composition and function, the magnesium and sulfate ions slowly released in the tailings after the mine is closed are effectively adsorbed, intercepted and solidified, and the pre-embedded reagent is replaced through the water quality monitoring of the outlet of the collection liquid lane (hole) to avoid the pollution to the external environment. The replaceable pre-embedded reagent treatment method for the slow release of ion type rare earth tailings provided by the application can effectively solve the slow release pollution problem of the residual leaching agent in the ion type rare earth magnesium salt leaching tailings from the source, and the raw materials are easy to obtain, the treatment process is short, the operation is simple, and the treatment cost is low. In addition, the replaceable pre-embedded reagent treatment method for the slow release of ion type rare earth tailings provided by the application will not cause new slow release of reagent in the tailings, because the first reagent is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide which will become calcium hydroxide solution when meeting water, on the one hand, the solubility of the solution is relatively low, and on the other hand, when meeting magnesium ions and sulfate ions in the ore body, a part of calcium ions will be consumed to form a precipitate, so the residual calcium ions in the tailings will not be too much; on the other hand, after the long-term leaching in the leaching process, the calcium and magnesium ions in the ore body are lost in large amounts, and the calcium and magnesium ions solidified in the ore body can also be used as a calcium and magnesium source.
[0035] The method for treating the slow release pollution of ion type rare earth tailings residual leaching agent provided by the application will be described in detail in combination with the embodiments below, but they cannot be understood as the limitation of the protection scope of the application.
[0036] According to the existing tailings slow release data of the mine area, the slow release concentration of sulfate ions in the ion type rare earth magnesium salt leaching tailings is 1000-5000 mg / L, and the discharge requirement of sulfate ions in Jiangxi Province “Ion Type Rare Earth Mine Exploitation Water Pollutant Discharge Standard” (DB361016-2018) is 800 mg / L. The indoor simulation test is carried out according to this standard as the slow release interception terminal to verify the slow release treatment effect of the replaceable pre-embedded reagent on the ion type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching under different proportioning conditions.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] 1000 g of ion type rare earth ore is loaded into an ion exchange column, and is compacted in steps to prevent channeling, and is leached by 2% wt magnesium sulfate solution until no rare earth is detected in the leaching liquid, and the ion type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching is reserved;
[0039] The soil and slaked lime are mixed uniformly in a mass ratio of 4:1, 100 g of which is loaded into a small ion exchange column to simulate the replaceable pre-embedded reagent of the liquid injection system; the soil, slaked lime, activated carbon and sodium metaaluminate are mixed uniformly in a mass ratio of 85:5:5:5, 200 g of which is loaded into a small ion exchange column to simulate the replaceable pre-embedded reagent of the liquid collection system, and the ion exchange column of the replaceable pre-embedded reagent of the liquid injection system, the ion exchange column of the ion type rare earth tailings and the ion exchange column of the replaceable pre-embedded reagent of the liquid collection system are sequentially placed in order from top to bottom;
[0040] In the test, the rainwater infiltration environment is simulated, and pure water is slowly injected into the ion exchange column of the replaceable pre-embedded reagent of the liquid injection system, and it can be observed that after the soil moisture in the column is adsorbed and saturated, the leaching liquid at the outlet below the exchange column flows into the ion exchange column of the ion type rare earth tailings, and because the tailings in the column are already in a saturated water absorption state, the leaching liquid at the outlet below the exchange column also begins to flow into the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system. The sample is measured, and the concentration of sulfate ions in the leaching liquid is 12000 mg / L. After the soil moisture in the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system is adsorbed and saturated, the leaching liquid begins to flow out of the outlet below the exchange column.
[0041] The test results show that the leaching liquid at the outlet of the liquid injection system ion exchange column is relatively stable, and when the volume of the leaching liquid flowing out reaches 10 L, the pH of the leaching liquid is still stable at above 12. The concentration of sulfate ions in the leaching liquid at the outlet of the ion type rare earth tailings ion exchange column is relatively stable in the early stage, and the pH of the leaching liquid does not change much. Subsequently, as the pH of the leaching liquid gradually rises, the concentration of sulfate ions decreases obviously, but it is still higher than the limit value of 800 mg / L. Then the leaching liquid enters the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system, and when the volume of the leaching liquid at the outlet of the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system reaches 10 L, the concentration of sulfate ions in the leaching liquid is always stable within the standard range of 800 mg / L, and the concentration of magnesium ions is stable at less than 100 mg / L, and the water impact liquid-solid ratio can be more than 50 times. Therefore, it can be seen that the replaceable pre-embedded reagent for liquid injection and collection has good treatment effect on the residual and slow release of magnesium salt leaching reagent for ion type rare earth tailings.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] 1000 g of ion type rare earth tailings is loaded into an ion exchange column, and is compacted in steps to prevent channeling. A 2%wt magnesium sulfate solution is used for leaching until no rare earth is detected in the leaching liquid. The ion type rare earth tailings after magnesium salt leaching is reserved;

[0045] In the test, a rainwater infiltration environment is simulated, and pure water is slowly injected into the ion exchange column of the replaceable embedded reagent of the liquid injection system, and it can be observed that after the soil moisture in the column is adsorbed and saturated, the leaching liquid at the outlet below the exchange column flows into the ion exchange column of the ion type rare earth tailings, and because the tailings in the column are already in a saturated water absorption state, the leaching liquid at the outlet below the exchange column also begins to flow into the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system, and the concentration of sulfate ions in the leaching liquid is 12000 mg / L, and after the soil moisture in the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system is adsorbed and saturated, the leaching liquid at the outlet below the exchange column begins to flow out;
[0046] The test results show that the leaching liquid at the outlet of the ion exchange column of the liquid injection system is relatively stable, and when the volume of the leaching liquid flowing out reaches 20 L, the pH of the leaching liquid is still stable at above 12; the concentration of sulfate ions in the leaching liquid at the outlet of the ion exchange column of the ion type rare earth tailings is relatively stable in the early stage, and the pH of the leaching liquid does not change much, and then the concentration of sulfate ions decreases obviously as the pH of the leaching liquid gradually rises, but it is still higher than the limit value of 800 mg / L; then the leaching liquid enters the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system, and when the volume of the leaching liquid at the outlet of the ion exchange column of the liquid collection system reaches 20 L, the concentration of sulfate ions in the leaching liquid is always stable within the standard range of 800 mg / L, the concentration of magnesium ions is stable and less than 100 mg / L, and the water impact liquid-solid ratio can be more than 100 times; it can be seen that the replaceable embedded reagent of the liquid injection and collection system has a good treatment effect on the residual and slow release of the magnesium salt leaching agent of the ion type rare earth tailings.
