Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of resource utilization, and in particular to a method for coordinated processing and resource utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag. Background Art

[0002] The hazardous waste slag involved in the electrolytic aluminum industry in the national hazardous waste list released by the National Ecological and Environmental Department in 2020 includes overhaul slag, carbon slag, etc., and their main hazardous characteristics include toxicity (T) and reactivity (R).

[0003] Overhaul slag is the waste slag produced by the maintenance and replacement of the cathode lining of the electrolytic cell. According to the actual production of aluminum electrolysis, overhaul slag is further divided into three categories: waste cathode, waste refractory material, and mixed material. Waste cathode is the graphite cathode carbon block of the electrolytic cell. A large amount of electrolyte will penetrate into it during the long-term electrolysis production process. The main components of the graphite cathode carbon block corroded by the electrolyte are 50-70% C and about 30% fluoride. Fluoride exists in the form of Na3AlF6, NaF, CaF2, and contains a trace amount of NaCN. Waste refractory material is dry anti-seepage material corroded by electrolyte, including insulation bricks, refractory bricks, castables and silicate plates. Under normal circumstances, the electrolyte will only corrode the dry anti-seepage material and sinter it into a whole. Its main chemical component is NaAlSiO4, and fluoride basically exists in the form of NaF, containing a very small amount of Na3AlF6 and β-Al2O3. The mixed material is the electrolyte that has not been completely pumped out when the electrolytic cell is shut down, which is weathered into powder during the long-term storage process with waste cathodes and waste refractory materials. The main components of the mixed material are: NaF, SiO2, Al2O3, AlF3, and aluminosilicate.

[0004] Carbon slag is a substance produced by the uneven combustion and selective oxidation of carbon anodes, which leads to the shedding of carbon particles. The main components of aluminum electrolysis carbon slag are carbon and electrolyte, generally containing 20-30% carbon and 60-70% electrolyte. The main components of the electrolyte are Na3AlF6, Al2O3, CaF2, etc.

[0005] There are technologies available at home and abroad for the treatment and comprehensive resource utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag. The harmless disposal and comprehensive resource utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag can be divided into two categories: wet treatment and pyrolysis. The wet treatment process mainly includes water leaching, alkaline leaching, acid leaching, and acid-base combined leaching. The pyrolysis process mainly uses high-temperature oxygen-enriched combustion for harmless treatment, or uses the waste cathode as a carbonaceous material with usable calorific value resources, or recovers electrolytes at high temperature.

[0006] From the existing technical achievements, the harmless disposal processes of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag are independent technical routes. The Chinese patent with publication number CN113426807A discloses a method for the combined treatment of aluminum electrolysis hazardous waste slag and comprehensive resource utilization. Although it can achieve the combined treatment of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag, carbon slag and aluminum ash, the alkaline leaching process is used for the treatment of overhaul slag, and the efficient leaching of valuable elements such as F, Na, Al, etc. cannot be achieved. In addition, the "aluminum salt leaching + fluoride salt directional conversion" of carbon slag is an independent route. In the process of combined disposal of overhaul slag and carbon slag, there are technical problems such as large equipment investment, low production efficiency, high processing cost, high labor intensity, and low resource utilization rate. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate and improve the existing technology to improve the efficiency of the disposal of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for the coordinated treatment and resource utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag, which can simultaneously realize the high-value utilization of valuable elements such as F, Na, Al, etc. in the aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag, while significantly reducing the treatment cost of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag, improving the efficiency of harmless disposal, and making the treatment process more simple and reliable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

If the specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer of the reagents or instruments used is not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0019] The following is a specific description of a method for coordinated treatment and resource utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] A method for coordinated treatment and resource utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag, comprising the following steps:

[0021] (1) Aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag are mixed in a mass ratio of 3:1-10:1, and then crushed and ball-milled to 150-200 meshes; the crushing process consists of a jaw crusher, a double-toothed roller crusher and an impact crusher connected in series, and iron removal facilities are set at the inlet and outlet of the jaw crusher and the outlet of the impact crusher to reduce the entry of impurity iron elements into the system; the ball milling method is wet grinding, and water is used as the medium in the wet grinding process to avoid the phenomenon that the material to be ground (overhaul slag, carbon slag) adheres to the steel ball, which can greatly improve the ball milling efficiency; the graphite process is provided with an exhaust gas collection device to collect and process the gases (NH3, CH4, H2) released during the reaction. The main reaction equation is as follows:

[0022] AlN+3H2O=Al(OH)3+NH3↑

[0023] 2Al+2NaOH+2H2O=2NaAlO2+3H2↑

[0024] Al4C3+6H2O=2Al2O3+3CH4↑

[0025] (2) The wet-ground overhaul slag and carbon slag mixture in step (1) is conveyed into a slurry mixing tank, and a NaOH solution with a concentration of 50-100 g / L is added to adjust the slurry solid content to 20%-30%, and stirred at room temperature for 2-3 hours; the stirring frequency is: 200-300 rpm;

[0026] (3) The overhaul slag and carbon slag mixture treated in step (2) above is sent to a pressure autoclave, where it stays for 3-4 hours under the process conditions of temperature: 90℃-95℃ and pressure 0.3-0.5MPa, and then enters the regulating tank, where high-temperature steam and air are introduced at the same time. A small amount of gas generated during the leaching process is sent to the tail gas treatment facility through a pipeline, and the alkali leaching slurry is sent to the alkali leaching sedimentation and washing system. The supernatant separated from the sedimentation tank is the alkali leaching liquid, which is pumped to the oxidation and cyanide removal process. The bottom flow is the leached slag, which is subjected to three-stage countercurrent washing and then enters the acid leaching process for further treatment. The main chemical reaction principle of the alkali leaching process is as follows:

[0027] Al2O3+2NaOH→2NaAlO2+H2O

[0028] Na4Fe(CN)6+2NaOH→6NaCN+Fe(OH)2

[0029] NaF is partially hydrolyzed, NaF+H2O→NaOH+HF

[0030] 2NaCN+5H2O2→2NaHCO3+N2↑+4H2O

[0031] Na3AlF6+4NaOH→6NaF+NaAlO2+2H2O

[0032] (4) The alkaline leaching solution obtained in the above step (3) is pumped into a cyanide-breaking tank, and ozone and calcium hypochlorite are added to perform oxidation and cyanide removal for 2-3 hours. The reaction is as follows:

[0033] 5O3+2NaCN+H2O=5O2+NaCNO+N2+2NaHCO3;

[0034] Then add modified polymer grade aluminum chloride-aluminum sulfate for 2-3 hours, and finally filter and separate;

[0035] The preparation method of modified polymer-grade aluminum chloride-aluminum sulfate is as follows: after nano-silicon dioxide is immersed in a polymer-grade aluminum chloride solution for a period of time, 1 / 3-1 / 2 of a mixed solution of tannic acid and aluminum sulfate is added thereto, and then dried for a period of time to obtain an intermediate, and then the remaining mixed solution of tannic acid and aluminum sulfate is sprayed on the surface of the intermediate, and further dried for a period of time to obtain the intermediate; the mass ratio of nano-silicon dioxide, polymer-grade aluminum chloride, tannic acid and aluminum sulfate is 10:30-50:1-5:1-5;

[0036] Polymer grade aluminum chloride is adsorbed inside the pores of nano-silica and filled outside the voids. Tannic acid is then used to interact with aluminum ions to form a complex, which is then combined with the adsorbed nano-silica, so that the defluoridation agent can more efficiently and stably exert its defluoridation effect. In the alkaline leaching solution, a large amount of aluminum hydroxy polymer is produced during hydrolysis, which undergoes a directional conversion effect of adsorption and electrofluoride salt with fluoride ions, forming a larger floc sedimentation, thereby achieving the purpose of defluoridation.

[0037] (5) The leached residue obtained in the above step (3) is re-pulped and then pumped into an acid leaching tank, and a certain amount of concentrated sulfuric acid is added to adjust the solid content of the slurry to 15%-20%. After being kept in the continuous acid leaching tank at 50°C-70°C for 5-7 hours, it is sent to the acid leaching sedimentation washing system. The supernatant separated in the sedimentation tank is the acid leaching liquid. The acid leaching liquid is pumped through the fluoride salt directional conversion process to react with the alkaline leaching liquid to produce regenerated aluminum fluoride, regenerated cryolite and other products; the bottom flow is the acid leaching residue, and the acid leaching residue is subjected to three-stage countercurrent washing with the system. Lime is added during the washing process as appropriate to further reduce the fluoride content therein to meet the standard of "GB / T5085.1-2007 "Identification Standard for Hazardous Wastes Corrosiveness Identification"". After the final washing is completed, it is pumped to the product filter press and storage device.

[0038] (6) introducing the alkaline leaching solution and the acid leaching solution obtained by filtering the above steps (3) and (5) into a fluoride salt directional conversion tank, causing a fluoride salt directional conversion reaction, and controlling the pH of the reaction system by adding a NaOH solution to control the production of products, mainly cryolite, aluminum fluoride + alumina, etc.; the concentration of the NaOH solution is 40%-50%; the pH of the cryolite production process is 8-10, the reaction temperature is 60°C-80°C, the reaction time is 4-6h, and the stirring rate is: 200-300rpm; the aluminum fluoride + alumina production process The pH value of the process is 4-5, the reaction temperature is 60℃-80℃, the reaction time is 4-6h, and the stirring rate is 200-300rpm; after the above reaction is completed, it is sent to the product sedimentation washing system, and the supernatant is the liquid after the directional conversion of the fluoride salt. It is sent to the water treatment facility for treatment and then reused in the above step (2) for slurry mixing. The product is then pumped into the product drying and storage device after three-stage countercurrent washing to remove impurities; the water treatment facility includes a nanofiltration system, a freezing crystallization system, an evaporation crystallization system, etc.; the evaporation concentrate is used to extract valuable elements such as valuable Li. The main chemical reaction principles of the directional conversion process of fluoride salts are as follows:

[0039] Chemical reactions in the production of recycled cryolite:

[0040] 12NaF+Al2(SO4)3=2Na3AlF6↓+3Na2SO4

[0041] Chemical reactions when producing regenerated sodium fluoride:

[0042] 0.76Al 3+ +3.24AlF 2+ +2H + +7.52NaOH→2Al2F 3.24 (OH) 2.76 ·H2O↓+7.52Na +

[0043] Al(OH) 4- +1.24F - +AlF2++1.24H + →Al2F 3.24 (OH) 2.76 ·H2O↓+0.24H2O

[0044] (7) The concentrated solution obtained by evaporation and crystallization in step (6) is further concentrated and purified, and after impurity removal and freeze crystallization, sodium carbonate is finally added to precipitate lithium, and industrial-grade lithium carbonate is prepared after washing and drying; the impurity removal is carried out by adding hydrogen peroxide, resin, etc.

[0045] The treatment method of the present invention comprises the following steps: (1) mixing overhaul slag and carbon slag in proportion, and then subjecting the mixture to alkaline leaching, acid leaching, fluoride salt directional conversion, and valuable metal extraction, thereby realizing efficient extraction of valuable metals from aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag. At the same time, the invention makes up for the fact that in the independent treatment of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag, the fluoride salt directional conversion process to produce regenerated spar and aluminum fluoride + alumina requires the additional addition of elements such as F and Al to meet the requirements of synthesizing regenerated spar and aluminum fluoride + alumina and other products. While realizing efficient utilization of valuable elements such as F, Al, and Na in aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag, the cost of treatment and comprehensive utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag is reduced, thereby solving the technical problem of low utilization rate of valuable elements such as F, Al, and Na in aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag. The valuable metal elements contained therein are extracted and lithium carbonate products are prepared, thereby realizing clean regeneration and efficient utilization of secondary resources of metallic lithium in aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag.

[0046] Moreover, by mixing aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag with carbon slag, the harmless slag carbon content of the overhaul slag mixture can be effectively increased, thereby realizing the productization and high value of the overhaul slag mixture; effectively reducing the carbon slag disposal cost and equipment investment, while purifying the cumbersome process of independent disposal and comprehensive utilization of aluminum electrolysis overhaul slag and carbon slag, improving the harmless disposal and comprehensive utilization efficiency of overhaul slag and carbon slag, significantly reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving the informatization, automation and intelligence level of its disposal process.
