Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical material preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-purity and high-whiteness calcium sulfate from phosphogypsum. Background Art

[0002] Phosphogypsum can be used to prepare calcium sulfate and as a raw material for building gypsum and building gypsum products. If phosphogypsum is comprehensively and deeply purified to prepare high-purity / high-whiteness calcium sulfate, it is expected to replace natural gypsum as a raw material for industrial building materials. The related industries have a market space of hundreds of billions of yuan, with great growth potential. However, it has very high requirements for the whiteness and purity of phosphogypsum. Due to the presence of carbon-based impurities and non-ferrous metal compounds, phosphogypsum is grayish-white or grayish-black, which greatly limits its industrial application. The composition of phosphogypsum is complex, with many coexisting impurities. The impurity removal technology is extensive, and the product profit is not enough to offset the transportation cost. This is an important reason for the difficult resource utilization, low added value, and large accumulation of phosphogypsum. It is urgent to develop low-cost and high-efficiency impurity removal technologies to promote the large-scale clean and high-value utilization of phosphogypsum. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related technologies to some extent. To this end, an object of the present invention is to propose a method for preparing high-purity and high-whiteness calcium sulfate from phosphogypsum. This method has a simple process, low cost, and high impurity separation efficiency, and can achieve comprehensive and deep impurity removal of phosphogypsum. Specifically, the purity of the calcium sulfate prepared by this method is not less than 99%, and the whiteness is not less than 90%.

[0004] In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes a method for preparing high-purity and high-whiteness calcium sulfate from phosphogypsum. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:

[0005] (1) Mix an alkali, a first surfactant, and water to obtain a first dispersant;

[0006] (2) Mix phosphogypsum and water and stir to obtain a phosphogypsum slurry;

[0007] (3) Mix the first dispersant and the phosphogypsum slurry and stir to obtain an initial slurry;

[0008] (4) After aging the initial slurry and stirring, send it to a primary chute for gravity separation to obtain a primary impurity removal product and a primary slurry;

[0009] (5) Mix an acid, a second surfactant, and water to obtain a second dispersant;

[0010] (6) Mix the primary impurity removal product and water and stir to obtain a primary impurity removal product slurry;

[0011] (7) Mix and stir the second dispersant and the primary impurity-removed product slurry to obtain a secondary slurry;

[0012] (8) Age and stir the secondary slurry, and then feed it into a secondary chute for gravity separation to obtain calcium sulfate and a secondary slag slurry.

[0013] According to a method for preparing high-purity and high-whiteness calcium sulfate from phosphogypsum according to the above embodiments of the present invention, an alkali, a first surfactant, and water are mixed to obtain a first dispersant. Phosphogypsum and water are mixed and stirred to obtain a phosphogypsum slurry. The first dispersant and the phosphogypsum slurry are mixed and stirred to obtain an initial slurry. After the initial slurry is aged and stirred, a primary impurity-removed product and a primary slag slurry are obtained. Under the action of the above first dispersant, the phosphogypsum particles are in a state of mutual dissociation in terms of spatial distribution, and then fed into a primary chute for gravity separation to remove impurities with a large specific gravity on the inner side of the chute and impurities with a small specific gravity on the outer side of the chute. The impurities with a large specific gravity and the impurities with a small specific gravity are combined into a primary slag slurry, and the middle part of the chute is the primary impurity-removed product. Most of the impurities in the phosphogypsum are acidic. That is, through the above-mentioned way of separating the head and the tail, most of the impurities in the phosphogypsum can be removed; an acid, a second surfactant, and water are mixed to obtain a second dispersant. The primary impurity-removed product and water are mixed and stirred to obtain a primary impurity-removed product slurry. The second dispersant and the primary impurity-removed product slurry are mixed and stirred to obtain a secondary slurry. The above secondary slurry is aged and stirred. Under the action of the second dispersant, controllable crystal form transformation and recrystallization of calcium sulfate can be realized, and then fed into a secondary chute for gravity separation. After separation, the middle part of the chute is calcium sulfate (secondary impurity-removed slurry), and the impurities with a large specific gravity on the inner side of the chute and the impurities with a small specific gravity on the outer side of the chute are combined into a secondary slag slurry. Through further impurity removal, deep impurity removal of phosphogypsum can be realized, that is, deep impurity removal is carried out on the basis of the precipitation and recrystallization of calcium sulfate. The impurity removal process is divided into two-stage impurity removal with alkali first and then acid, so that organic and inorganic impurities in phosphogypsum can be comprehensively and deeply removed from coarse to fine and from the surface to the inside. Thus, this method has a simple process, low cost, and high impurity separation efficiency, and can realize comprehensive and deep impurity removal of phosphogypsum. Specifically, the purity of the calcium sulfate prepared by this method is not less than 99%, and the whiteness is not less than 90%.

[0032] The additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, will become apparent in part from the following description, or will be understood through the practice of the present invention. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, which are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0034] In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing high-purity and high-whiteness calcium sulfate from phosphogypsum. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the method includes:

[0035] S100: Mix alkali, a first surfactant and water

[0036] In this step, alkali, a first surfactant and water are mixed uniformly to form a first dispersant. It should be noted that alkali and the first surfactant are conventional materials in the art, and those skilled in the art can select according to the actual situation. For example, the alkali includes at least one of calcium oxide, sodium oxide and potassium oxide; the first surfactant includes at least one of sodium dodecyl sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, stearic acid, oleic acid, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and octadecylamine. Further, the mass ratio of alkali, the first surfactant to water is (0.8 - 1.5):(0.5 - 1.2):(0.8 - 2.0), so as to ensure the maximization of the benefits and functions of the first surfactant.

[0037] S200: Mix and stir phosphogypsum and water

[0038] In this step, phosphogypsum and water are mixed and stirred to obtain a phosphogypsum slurry. Further, the solid content of the phosphogypsum slurry is 4wt%-20wt%. Thus, it is beneficial to the subsequent reaction.

[0039] S300: Mix and stir the first dispersant and the phosphogypsum slurry

[0040] In this step, the first dispersant obtained in S100 and the phosphogypsum slurry obtained in S200 are mixed and stirred to obtain an initial slurry. Under the action of the first dispersant, the phosphogypsum particles are in a state of mutual dissociation in terms of spatial distribution, which is beneficial to the separation of impurities. Those skilled in the art can understand that stirring is a conventional operation method in the art. Here, stirring can promote the mixing degree of the first dispersant and the phosphogypsum slurry, and further can affect the particle dispersion degree and aggregation degree. Further, the stirring includes shear stirring, the rotation speed of the shear stirring is 4000r / min - 12000r / min, and the time is 40min - 100min.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the first dispersant in the initial slurry is 0.01% - 1%. The inventor found that if the mass ratio of the first dispersant in the initial slurry is too small, the spatial dissociation between gypsum and impurity particles cannot be fully achieved; if the mass ratio of the first dispersant in the initial slurry is too large, excessive cost consumption will be caused. Thus, the present application adopts an initial slurry with a mass ratio of the first dispersant of 0.01% - 1% to deeply remove most of the acidic impurities in phosphogypsum.

[0042] S400: Age the initial slurry, stir it, and then send it to a primary chute for gravity separation

[0043] In this step, the initial slurry is aged in an aging tank and then stirred in a stirring tank. Through aging, the first dispersant and the phosphogypsum slurry fully react. Through stirring, full mixing and full reaction are promoted, so that different particles are evenly distributed, which is beneficial to subsequent rapid and efficient separation. Then the stirred slurry is sent to a primary chute for gravity separation to remove impurities with a large specific gravity on the inner side of the chute and impurities with a small specific gravity on the outer side of the chute. The impurities with a large specific gravity and the impurities with a small specific gravity are combined into a primary slag slurry, and the middle part of the chute is the primary impurity-removing product. Most of the impurities in phosphogypsum are acidic. That is, through the above-mentioned head-and-tail separation method, most of the impurities in phosphogypsum can be removed. Further, the stirring time is 30 min - 60 min, and the rotation speed is 80 - 160 r / min. It should be noted that the primary impurity-removing product and the primary slag slurry obtained by gravity separation are in a slurry state. The primary impurity-removing product and the primary slag slurry in the form of filter cakes are obtained through filtration. The filtrate after the above filtration can be returned to continue preparing the phosphogypsum slurry, and the amount of the first dispersant added to the initial slurry prepared with the above filtrate is 20% - 50% of the amount of the first dispersant added to the initial slurry not prepared with the above filtrate. On the one hand, the filtrate can be recycled, thus reducing sewage discharge. On the other hand, the amount of the first dispersant added is reduced, saving costs. Further, the aging time is 2 h - 24 h, so that most of the acidic impurities in phosphogypsum can be deeply removed.

[0044] S500: Mix an acid, a second surfactant, and water

[0045] In this step, the acid, the second surfactant, and water are mixed evenly to obtain a second dispersant. It should be noted that the acid and the second surfactant are conventional materials in the art, and those skilled in the art can select according to the actual situation. For example, the acid includes at least one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid; the second surfactant includes at least one of sodium dodecyl sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, stearic acid, oleic acid, cetylammonium bromide, and octadecylamine. Further, the mass ratio of the acid, the second surfactant, and water is (0.8 - 1.5):(0.5 - 1.2):(0.8 - 2.0), so as to ensure the maximization of the benefits and functions of the second surfactant.

[0046] S600: Mix and stir the primary impurity-removing product and water

[0047] In this step, the primary impurity-removing product and water are mixed and stirred to obtain a primary impurity-removing product slurry. Further, the solid content of the primary impurity-removing product slurry is 4 wt% - 20 wt%, so as to achieve comprehensive and deep impurity removal of phosphogypsum.

[0048] S700: Mix and stir the second dispersant and the primary impurity-removing product slurry

[0049] In this step, the second dispersant obtained in S500 and the primary impurity-removed product slurry obtained in S600 are mixed and stirred to obtain a secondary slurry. Further, the stirring includes shear stirring, the rotation speed of the shear stirring is 4000 r / min - 12000 r / min, and the time is 40 min - 100 min.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the second dispersant in the secondary slurry is 0.01% - 1%. The inventor found that if the mass ratio of the second dispersant in the secondary slurry is too small, the spatial dissociation between gypsum and impurity particles cannot be fully achieved; if the mass ratio of the second dispersant in the secondary slurry is too large, excessive cost consumption will be caused. Therefore, the secondary slurry with a mass ratio of the second dispersant of 0.01% - 1% is adopted in this application, which can achieve comprehensive and in-depth impurity removal of phosphogypsum.

[0051] S800: After aging the secondary slurry, stir it and then send it to a secondary chute for gravity separation.

[0052] In this step, the secondary slurry is aged in an aging tank, stirred in a stirring tank, and then sent to a secondary chute for gravity separation. Under the action of the second dispersant, the controllable crystal form transformation and recrystallization of calcium sulfate can be achieved. After the gravity separation in the secondary chute, the middle part of the chute is calcium sulfate (secondary impurity-removed slurry), and the impurities with a larger specific gravity on the inner side of the chute and the impurities with a smaller specific gravity on the outer side of the chute are combined into a secondary slag slurry. Through further impurity removal, the in-depth impurity removal of phosphogypsum can be realized, that is, in-depth impurity removal on the basis of the precipitation and recrystallization of calcium sulfate. Further, the stirring time is 30 min - 60 min, and the rotation speed is 80 - 160 r / min. It should be noted that after the gravity separation in the secondary chute, the obtained calcium sulfate and secondary slag slurry are also in a slurry state. Filter them to obtain calcium sulfate in a cake state. The filtrate obtained from the above filtration can be returned to prepare the primary impurity-removed product slurry, and the amount of the second dispersant added to the secondary slurry prepared by using the above filtrate is 20% - 50% of the amount of the second dispersant added to the secondary slurry prepared without using the above filtrate. On the one hand, the filtrate can be recycled, thereby reducing sewage discharge. On the other hand, the amount of the second dispersant added is reduced, saving costs. The calcium sulfate cake is dried at 105°C - 135°C for 2 - 6 hours to obtain high-purity / high-whiteness calcium sulfate with a purity of not less than 99% and a whiteness of not less than 90%. The calcium sulfate product prepared in this application fully meets the high-performance index requirements of high-purity / high-whiteness calcium sulfate powder, α-high-strength gypsum powder, mold gypsum, calcium sulfate whiskers and other industrial raw materials in the market, and can also be directly used as gypsum powder for high-grade building materials, with broad market prospects.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the primary slurry obtained in S400, the secondary slurry obtained in S800, and water are mixed and stirred to prepare a slurry with a solid content of 10 wt% - 30 wt%. Then, alkali is added to the above slurry to adjust the pH to 6.5 - 7.5, and then it is filtered and dried. The filtrate can replace the water in the next slurry preparation process, and the filter cake is dried at 105 - 130 °C for 2 - 6 hours, so that the component content can be adjusted according to the compound fertilizer standard to obtain a compound fertilizer product. The primary slurry and the secondary slurry are rich in plant nutrient components such as humic acid, phosphorus, and sulfur, and can be used as compound fertilizers after neutralization, reducing the discharge of waste residues and better realizing the resource utilization of solid waste.
