Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for the resource recovery of copper from waste paint residue, belonging to the field of solid waste resource treatment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Paint waste is solid waste generated during the coating process. In manual spraying, 40%–60% of the paint mist is oversprayed and dispersed, while electrostatic spraying produces over 10%. This overspray condenses and settles to form paint waste. Paint waste mainly consists of resin, pigments, additives, and moisture and flocculants mixed in during collection. It is classified as hazardous solid waste, primarily due to its toxicity and flammability. Human contact with paint waste can cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness, and chest tightness. It may also affect the digestive system, causing loss of appetite and nausea. In severe cases, it can damage the liver and hematopoietic system, and even lead to death.

[0003] In China, the main methods for treating paint waste are landfill and incineration. Landfill involves simple treatment or solidification of the paint waste before burying it underground with appropriate isolation measures. It has advantages such as low cost, large processing capacity, and high final disposal efficiency, making it the preferred method for early paint waste treatment. Incineration has also been vigorously developed due to its advantages of volume reduction, harmlessness, resource recovery, and simple operation. However, landfill requires a large area and easily causes groundwater and soil pollution, while incineration inevitably poses secondary pollution problems. Paint waste is harmful when discarded, but valuable when utilized. Given my country's large population, weak industrial base, and tight energy supply, improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of paint waste can not only save resources and turn waste into treasure, but also improve the environment and reduce the huge economic losses caused by secondary pollution. Currently, paint waste is mainly utilized through recycling, reuse, and the preparation of functional materials. However, comprehensive utilization technologies place high demands on the physical properties of the paint waste. If the molecular structure of the paint waste has been completely destroyed, becoming extremely brittle and unable to re-adhere under the action of solvents, then such paint waste cannot be reused. Therefore, for paint waste with severely damaged physical properties, choosing a suitable method to turn waste into treasure is crucial in the comprehensive utilization of paint waste.

[0004] Current research on waste paint residue treatment focuses primarily on the treatment of organic matter, with limited research on the recovery and treatment of metals within the waste paint residue. If suitable methods can be selected to recover valuable metal ions from waste paint residue, its resource utilization can be achieved. Pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy are traditional methods for metal recovery. Pyrometallurgy involves high-temperature treatment of waste materials...

[0005] Pyrometallurgy alters the physical and chemical state of metals, extracting them through high-temperature chemical reactions. This process includes calcination, roasting, smelting, and refining. While pyrometallurgy has been used for many years, it suffers from poor selectivity, high energy consumption, low metal recovery rates, and demanding equipment requirements, leading to a series of environmental problems. Hydrometallurgy mainly involves two processes: dissolving and leaching metals from solid waste, and subsequent separation, extraction, and purification of the metals. Hydrometallurgy is the mainstream process for recovering metals from spent catalysts; however, it consumes large amounts of hazardous chemicals such as strong acids, strong alkalis, and oxidants. This places high demands on equipment materials and operating conditions, and increasingly stringent regulations on hazardous chemicals in recent years have limited the application and promotion of traditional hydrometallurgical processes.

[0006] Over the past few decades, biometallurgy has emerged as one of the most promising metal recovery technologies. Bioleaching refers to the process by which microorganisms, through direct action or the indirect action of their metabolites, dissolve target metals in solid materials; this process is also known as bioleaching or biohydrometallurgy. Compared with traditional hydrometallurgy, biometallurgy offers advantages such as low cost, environmental friendliness, and high metal recovery rates. This invention utilizes bioleaching of copper ions from waste paint sludge, employing extraction and back-extraction to recover copper ions from the leachate and prepare copper sulfate crystals. This method efficiently recovers valuable metal ions from waste paint sludge and yields high-value-added products, providing a new approach to the recycling and utilization of waste paint sludge. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the limited research on metal recovery from waste paint sludge, this invention aims to recover copper from copper-containing waste paint sludge through resource utilization. It proposes a method for recovering copper from waste paint sludge using bioleaching, and utilizing extraction and back-extraction to remove impurity ions from the leachate, recovering target copper ions to prepare copper sulfate crystals. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0008] This invention discloses a method for the resource recovery of copper from waste paint residue, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0009] (1) Place the copper-containing waste paint residue in an electric heating constant temperature drying oven at 80°C and dry it to constant weight. Then crush and grind it, and sieve it through a 200-mesh sieve for later use.

[0010] (2) Inoculate the bioleaching strain into an inorganic salt culture medium, place it in a shaker and monitor its pH and ORP changes, add the paint residue powder obtained in step (1), continue to culture in a shaker for bioleaching until the concentration of copper ions in the leachate no longer increases, and collect the leachate by centrifugation or filtration.

[0011] The inorganic salt culture medium consists of 2.0 g / L (NH4)2SO4, 1 g / L KH2PO4, 0.5 g / L MgSO4·7H2O, 0.25 g / L anhydrous CaCl2, and 8–16 g / L reducing energy substrate, with water as the solvent; the reducing energy substrate is sulfur or pyrite or a mixture of sulfur and pyrite.

[0012] The bioleaching strains are autotrophic bacteria, including Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, and Leptospira hemiphila. When the energy substrate is sulfur, Thiobacillus thiooxidans is inoculated; when the energy substrate is pyrite, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Leptospira hemiphila are inoculated separately; when the energy substrate is sulfur and pyrite, a mixture of Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, and Leptospira hemiphila is inoculated.

[0013] (3) Adjust the pH of the leachate obtained in step (2) with 1 mol / L sodium carbonate solution, mix it with the extractant composed of LIX984 and sulfonated kerosene DT100, shake for 10 min to extract, and let it stand to separate into layers;

[0014] (4) The oil phase obtained in step (3) is back-extracted with sulfuric acid solution, shaken for 10 min, and allowed to stand to separate into layers;

[0015] (5) Evaporate and cool the aqueous phase obtained in step (4) to obtain copper sulfate crystals.

[0016] The inoculation concentration of the aforementioned Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, and Leptospira ferrophila is 5%–15% (v / v);

[0017] During the cultivation of the leaching strain, its pH and ORP changes were monitored daily. When the pH dropped to 0.6-1.4, 2-10% (w / v) of waste paint residue powder was added, i.e., a solid-liquid ratio of 2-10%.

[0018] The conditions for the biological leachate shaker culture are 25–45°C and 100–180 rpm.

[0019] The pH of the leachate was adjusted to 1.0-4.0 using a 1 mol / L sodium carbonate solution;

[0020] The extractant consists of LIX984 and sulfonated kerosene DT100, 10-30% (LIX984:DT100, v / v); the stripping agent is a 50-300 g / L sulfuric acid solution.

[0021] The volume ratio of the extracted organic phase to the aqueous phase is 1:1 to 5:1, and the volume ratio of the back-extracted organic phase to the aqueous phase is 3:1 to 1:3.

[0022] The organic phase obtained by back-extraction regains its extraction capacity and can be reused in step (3) to extract copper;

[0023] Beneficial effects

[0024] This invention discloses a method for the resource-based recovery of copper from waste paint sludge. The feasibility of bioleaching copper-containing waste paint sludge was studied, and optimized conditions were established, achieving a leaching rate of 99.34%. Copper ions were separated from the leachate through extraction and back-extraction, and relevant parameters were optimized, resulting in an extraction rate of 99.46% and a back-extraction rate of 95.32%. The prepared copper sulfate crystals exhibited high purity and good crystallinity. This invention achieves the resource-based treatment of waste paint sludge, yielding high-value-added products and providing a new approach for the recycling and utilization of waste paint sludge.
