Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a method for directional separation of pyrolysis products of waste circuit boards under high-temperature steam atmosphere, belonging to the field of comprehensive recycling of typical metal-inorganic solid waste, and particularly relates to directional separation and recovery of different metal valuable components in waste circuit boards. The method uses crushing-high-temperature steam pyrolysis-vortex current separation-ball milling-magnetic separation-hydrothermal sulfuration-flotation method to efficiently and directionally separate and recover valuable metals copper and iron in waste circuit boards. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of industrialization level in China, waste circuit boards as a raw material for recycled copper have developed rapidly. Waste circuit boards have a high scrap volume, and on the one hand, they have very high resource value, and on the other hand, they have potential environmental hazards. Waste circuit boards contain a variety of heavy metals harmful to the environment, which can cause serious harm to the environment, such as Au, Ag, Pb, etc. Randomly burning or landfilling waste circuit boards can cause serious harm to the natural environment. At the same time, waste circuit boards contain bromine-containing flame retardants, which can easily produce dioxins, hydrogen bromide and other air pollutants in the combustion process, causing great harm to human health. Therefore, in view of the dual characteristics of high resource recycling value and potential pollution hazard of waste circuit boards, not only high-efficiency recycling technology should be considered in the recycling process, but also the impact on the environment should be considered. At present, the main technologies for recycling waste circuit boards include pyroprocessing, hydrometallurgical processing, and bioleaching, all of which have obvious shortcomings, such as secondary air pollution caused by pyroprocessing, environmental pollution caused by waste liquid in hydrometallurgical processing, and long cycle period of bioleaching technology.
[0003] For the recycling process of waste circuit boards, pyrolysis has obvious advantages such as high resource recovery rate and high-value reuse of different valuable components. At present, pyrolysis for treating waste circuit boards has not been widely used in industrial applications. The main reason is that the phenolic resin or epoxy resin in waste circuit boards produces fine carbon particles in the pyrolysis process, which is difficult to separate from metals, and the non-metallic materials in the pyrolysis products are difficult to separate from the metallic materials, direct calcination leads to oxidation of metals and the heat value of fine carbon particles cannot be reused. SUMMARY
[0004] The application provides a method for directional separation of waste circuit board pyrolysis products under high-temperature water vapor atmosphere, and belongs to the field of comprehensive recycling of typical metal-inorganic solid waste. In particular, the method relates to efficient directional separation and high-value recycling of different metal valuable components in waste circuit boards and non-metallic mineral components, fully utilizes pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis oil, and the pyrolysis residue mainly contains a mixture of copper, iron, lead, tin, gold and other metals and non-metallic glass fibers. Under the condition of high-temperature water vapor, the carbon in the pyrolysis products is converted into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, the pyrolysis gas is reused to the waste circuit board pyrolysis stage, and the heat generated in the steel belt pyrolysis furnace pyrolysis process can be reused to the hydrothermal sulfidation stage and the spray tower spraying stage.

[0048] Comparative Example 1
[0049] Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 have basically the same process steps, except that three-stage partition temperature control heating is not used in step 1). The heating method is as follows: the temperature in the pyrolysis furnace is maintained at 750℃, the pyrolysis time is 120 min, and the oil gas mixture and pyrolysis residue are obtained after pyrolysis;
[0050] The carbon gasification rate is 60.8%;
[0051] The recovery rate of copper was 85.2%.
[0052] Compared with Example 1, the carbon gasification rate of Comparative Example 1 decreased obviously due to the absence of three-stage partition temperature control heating. The recovery rate of copper decreased. The main reason was that the carbon particles after pyrolysis were small in size and the carbon gasification rate was low, so that the carbon and metal could not be separated, which affected the recovery of copper.
[0053] Comparative Example 2
[0054] Comparative Example 2 was basically the same as Example 1 in process steps, except that the temperature of three-stage partition temperature control heating in step 1) was different. The specific parameters were as follows: the temperature of the first partition was 180℃, the temperature of the second partition was 400℃, the temperature of the third partition was 520℃, and the pyrolysis time was 150 min. An oil-gas mixture and a pyrolysis residue were obtained after pyrolysis.
[0055] The carbon gasification rate was 42.6%.
[0056] The recovery rate of copper was 83.6%.
[0057] Compared with Example 1, the carbon gasification rate in Comparative Example 2 was low due to the low temperature of three-stage partition heating. The main reason was that the reaction of carbon and steam was not complete at low temperature, which could not generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen. At the same time, the recovery rate of copper decreased, mainly because the fine carbon particles affected the flotation process.
[0058] Comparative Example 3
[0059] Comparative Example 3 was basically the same as Example 1 in process steps, except that the setting parameters of the eddy current separator in step 3) were different. The specific parameters were as follows: the width of the eddy current separator was 1000 mm, and the driving power was 1.0 kw.
[0060] The recovery rate of copper was 72.4%.
[0061] Compared with Example 1, the separation of metal particles and non-metal particles was not complete due to the change of the setting parameters of the eddy current separator, and a part of the metal was enriched in the non-metal, which led to a significant decrease in the recovery rate of copper in Comparative Example 3.
[0062] Comparative Example 4
[0063] Comparative Example 4 was basically the same as Example 1 in process steps, except that the setting parameters of the magnetic separator in step 4) were different. The specific parameters were as follows: the length of the drum-type magnetic separator was 600 mm, the length of the cylinder was 800 mm, and the motor power of the magnetic separator was 1.2 kw.
[0064] The recovery rate of iron was 78.4%.
[0065] Compared with example 1, the metallic iron cannot be completely separated from other metals due to the change of the parameters of the drum magnetic separator, and the recovery rate thereof is obviously decreased.
[0066] Comparative example 5
[0067] Comparative example 5 is basically the same as the process steps of example 1, except that no vulcanizing agent MBT and collector Z200 are added in step 5), and the specific parameters are as follows: the water glass concentration is 100 g / t, and the foaming agent No. 2 oil concentration is 40 g / t.
[0068] The recovery rate of copper is 50.5%.
[0069] Compared with example 1, the recovery rate of copper in comparative example 5 is obviously decreased due to the absence of vulcanizing agent and collector.

Any skilled person in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
