Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of material preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing thermal insulation and soundproofing materials from lead-zinc mine tailings. Background Technology
[0002] Lead-zinc ore is a major mineral resource in my country, with abundant reserves. However, the mining and processing of lead-zinc ore often results in the formation of large amounts of tailings. Lead-zinc mine tailings are a significant source of heavy metal pollution, and the resulting ecological and environmental problems have gradually become a focus of public attention.
[0003] The main elemental contents of the lead-zinc mine tailings, as analyzed, include: CaF₂ 13.92%, Fe 0.63%, SiO₂ 73.09%, Pb 0.43%, Zn 0.18%, Al₂O 33.74%, Na₂O 0.12%, K₂O 1.09%, BaSO₄ 2.86%, P 0.69%, and Fe₂O 30.17%. Based on the characteristics of lead-zinc mine tailings, researchers have conducted various studies on their resource reuse. For example, Yan Zan et al. explored the comprehensive utilization of lead-zinc tailings in my country from aspects such as re-selection technology, production of building materials, tailings backfilling, and tailings area reclamation. Yi Longsheng et al., based on a review of the advantages and disadvantages of various utilization pathways of lead-zinc tailings, proposed a new approach to prepare non-fired ceramsite from lead-zinc tailings. Ye Lijia, based on the study of tailings process mineralogy, proposed a beneficiation process scheme for the comprehensive recovery of sulfur and iron from tailings. Wang Qinjian et al. introduced the current status of comprehensive utilization of lead-zinc tailings in China from aspects such as re-selection of valuable resources of lead-zinc tailings, application in building materials, and backfilling of mined-out areas. Liu Zhende et al. believed that the tailings stored in the tailings pond of the Fankou lead-zinc mine in Guangdong Province for the recovery of sulfur concentrate and backfilling aggregate have a potential value of over 1 billion yuan. However, the comprehensive utilization of lead-zinc tailings in my country is still at the theoretical or methodological research stage, with actual application rate at only about 18.9%, which is far behind the 60% comprehensive utilization rate abroad. Moreover, the tailings are mainly used for backfilling, mining, and building materials.
[0004] Due to their advantages such as fire resistance, heat insulation, and sound insulation, thermal insulation and soundproofing materials are frequently used in the construction industry. These materials generally include inorganic and organic insulation materials. Inorganic insulation materials include expanded perlite, aerated concrete, glass wool, and rock wool, while organic insulation materials include polystyrene foam and polyurethane foam. If lead-zinc mine tailings could be reused to produce thermal and sound insulation materials for construction, it would not only alleviate the heavy metal pollution problem caused by lead-zinc mine tailings but also allow for resource utilization of these tailings. However, both domestically and internationally, methods for using lead-zinc mine tailings as raw materials to produce thermal and sound insulation materials are virtually nonexistent.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for preparing thermal insulation and soundproofing materials from lead-zinc mine tailings to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to address the resource utilization issue of lead-zinc mine tailings by proposing a method for preparing thermal insulation and soundproofing materials from lead-zinc mine tailings.
[0007] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a thermal insulation and soundproofing material prepared from lead-zinc mine tailings, the raw materials of which include: lead-zinc mine tailings, fly ash, modified bentonite, water and adhesive, with lead-zinc mine tailings accounting for 50% of the total weight of the raw materials.
[0008] Furthermore, the raw materials for thermal insulation and soundproofing materials, calculated by weight in parts, include: 60 parts lead-zinc mine tailings, 10 parts fly ash, 8 parts modified bentonite, 37 parts water, and 5 parts adhesive.
[0009] Bentonite, as a resource-rich natural non-metallic mineral, possesses properties such as swelling, catalytic activity, adsorption, cation exchange, lubrication, suspension, dispersibility, binding, stability, and non-toxicity.
[0010] The preparation method of modified bentonite is as follows:
[0011] Take 100g of calcium-based bentonite, put it in a container, add 100mL of 1mol / L hydrogen peroxide, and stir at room temperature for 1h.
[0012] Then heat to 90 degrees Celsius, add 200 mL of 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, continue stirring for 1 hour, stop heating, and cool to room temperature;
[0013] After rinsing the bentonite with water multiple times, it is dried in the sun or by baking to obtain modified bentonite.
[0014] After bentonite is modified with hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid, it can be added to other raw materials of thermal insulation and sound insulation materials to improve its adsorption with other materials, thereby improving the stability of the thermal insulation and sound insulation materials.
[0015] In this application, the adhesive, acting as a polymerizing agent for thermal insulation and soundproofing materials, plays a role in copolymerizing other materials. This application proposes a novel adhesive formulation and method for the raw materials used in thermal insulation and soundproofing materials.
[0016] The adhesive raw materials, by weight, include: 25 parts palmitic acid glyceride, 7 parts No. 10 industrial white oil, 2 parts dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, 5 parts sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and 11 parts BYKETOL-OK leveling agent.
[0017] The adhesive is prepared by adding glyceryl palmitate, No. 10 industrial white oil, dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and BYKETOL-OK leveling agent in sequence, mixing them evenly, and then sealing them.
[0018] The adhesive prepared by the above method can not only play a role in the polymerization of various materials, but also reduce the density of thermal insulation and sound insulation materials.
[0019] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing thermal insulation and soundproofing materials from lead-zinc mine tailings, comprising the following steps:
[0020] Lead-zinc mine tailings, fly ash, and modified bentonite are mixed in a certain proportion and then fed into a vertical grinding mill for grinding. The grinding particle size is no more than 300 mesh.
[0021] Add water to the obtained powder and stir at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain a mixed liquid.
[0022] Add binder to the mixture and stir at room temperature for 4 hours to obtain the mixture slurry;
[0023] The mixed slurry is heated and sintered in stages to finally obtain a thermal insulation and sound insulation material.
[0024] The segmented heating method is as follows: room temperature - 700℃, heating rate of 50℃ / min, holding for 30min; 700℃ - 1000℃, heating rate of 30℃ / min, holding for 30min; 1000℃ - 1300℃, heating rate of 30℃ / min, holding for 1h; 1300℃ - 1400℃, heating rate of 10℃ / min, holding for 3h; 1400℃ - room temperature.
[0025] This preparation method is simple and suitable for large-scale production, providing a new direction for the treatment and utilization of lead-zinc mine tailings. The thermal insulation and sound insulation material prepared by the above method has the characteristics of fire resistance, corrosion resistance, high durability, sound absorption and noise reduction, and antibacterial and anti-mildew properties, making it suitable for the construction industry.
