Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alumina production technology, and in particular to a method for generating large-sized micelles in sodium aluminate solution. Background Technology

[0002] The Bayer process is the primary method for alumina production. During the alkaline circulation process in the Bayer process, organic matter rapidly accumulates in the circulating mother liquor, leading to a rapid increase in the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration in the sodium aluminate solution. Imported ore has a high TOC content, resulting in more organic matter being degraded during leaching, primarily entering the sodium aluminate solution in anionic form, thus causing a high concentration of organic matter in the sodium aluminate solution using imported ore. This organic matter reduces decomposition rates, refines the product, promotes scaling, colors the product, generates foam and harmful gases, severely impacting alumina production. Therefore, developing an efficient and economical method for removing organic matter from sodium aluminate solutions is urgently needed.

[0003] Organic matter in sodium aluminate solutions is generally classified into three categories: high, medium, and low molecular weight organic matter. High and medium molecular weight organic matter are the main substances causing changes in solution properties, altering the gas-solid-liquid interface, generating abundant foam, and coloring products. Low molecular weight organic matter, such as sodium oxalate, mainly causes equipment scaling and product refinement. Currently, there are many methods for removing organic matter both domestically and internationally. Oxidation, adsorption, flotation, and seawater methods all target high and medium molecular weight organic matter; crystallization, precipitation, and causticization primarily target low molecular weight organic oxalates; ion exchange and combustion methods are effective for removing various organic sodium salts. However, due to the high ionic strength, high temperature, complex ionic structure, and unclear interactions between organic matter in sodium aluminate solutions, the interfacial behavior of organic matter is extremely complex, which is the main reason for the low efficiency, poor applicability, complex processes, and high costs of organic matter removal to date.

[0004] Therefore, regulating the interfacial behavior of organic matter in sodium aluminate solution is key to improving removal efficiency and simplifying the process. However, there are few reports on the interfacial behavior of organic matter in sodium aluminate solution, and even fewer reports on the preparation of large-size micelles of organic matter. In aqueous solution, surfactant micelles are generally smaller than 0.5 μm, with most ranging from 1 to 100 nm. To prepare large-size micelles, most studies focus on fields such as oilfield recovery and wastewater treatment. Cao Xulong (Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica, 2014, 30(7), 1297-1302) et al. compounded diethylenetriamine with oleic acid to construct mixed micelle and anti-miclle structures, achieving an 80-fold thickening of water-in-oil emulsions. When water-in-oil emulsions are formed, crude oil molecules can also be smoothly solubilized and enter the micelles; these research results greatly improve the recovery efficiency of crude oil in oilfields. Rao Xiaoping (Patent Announcement No. CN)

[0005] 107519814B et al. added a maleic anionic surfactant to a fixed concentration of cationic surfactant, and through the association of the two, prepared a viscoelastic solution with gel characteristics, which has significant application value in oilfield flooding, daily cleaning agents, and industrial detergents. Liu Guihua (patent application numbers 202010112367.8 and 202010112032.6) added surfactants to remove organic matter by adsorption and flotation methods to control the zeta potential of hydrated calcium aluminate, control the critical micelle concentration, and promote the formation of micelles, thereby achieving the goal of efficient removal of organic matter, but did not address the micelle size in sodium aluminate solution.

[0006] Therefore, although organic matter in sodium aluminate solution mainly exists in the form of anionic surfactants, and micelles can be formed when the concentration exceeds the critical micelle concentration, the control of micelle size remains unclear due to the strong repulsive effect of polar groups. This is the key reason why the process for removing organic matter from sodium aluminate solution is relatively complex and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides a method for generating large micelles in sodium aluminate solution, the purpose of which is to solve the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating large-sized micelles in a sodium aluminate solution. This method primarily involves adding organic additives such as surfactants, or further adding high-valence inorganic cations, to synergistically promote the self-assembly of organic matter into large-sized micelles, thereby efficiently and economically removing organic matter. Specifically, an aqueous solution of a cationic, amphoteric, or nonionic surfactant is added to a sodium aluminate solution containing organic matter. The temperature is lowered, and the mixture is slowly stirred. By controlling the repulsive force of the polar heads, large-sized micelles are self-assembled in the high-ionic-strength sodium aluminate solution. This mixed slurry is then filtered to separate the large-sized micelles from the sodium aluminate solution, achieving efficient removal of organic matter. The method of generating large-sized micelles in a sodium aluminate solution of the present invention can achieve an organic matter removal rate of over 30% in sodium aluminate solution, significantly reducing the total organic carbon concentration in the Bayer system, eliminating the negative impact of organic matter on the production process, and is characterized by its simplicity, high efficiency, and wide applicability.

[0022] Mechanism Explanation: In studying the self-assembly of organic matter in sodium aluminate solution to form large-sized micelles, this invention specifically discovered:

[0023] (1) Sodium aluminate solution has high ionic strength, and the critical micelle concentration of surfactants in sodium aluminate solution is extremely low, almost always around 10. -5 -10 -4Within the concentration range of mol / L.

[0024] (2) In sodium aluminate solution, due to different charges, certain cationic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants can easily interact with the polar groups of anionic organic compounds in sodium aluminate solution, promoting self-assembly to form micelles.

[0025] (3) When specific cationic, amphoteric or nonionic surfactants are combined with anionic surfactants, the ion pairs of the surfactants can be easily generated through association, which can significantly increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the nonpolar groups and is conducive to the self-formation of large-sized layered micelles.

[0026] (4) A large number of micelles can re-aggregate, resulting in micelles of even larger size.

[0027] (5) A suitable cooling regime is conducive to the self-assembly of surfactant molecules and the generation of large micelles.

[0028] (6) In sodium aluminate solution, the formation of large micelles will lead to an increase in the absorbance of the solution; while even larger micelles (<5μm) will increase the turbidity of the solution.

[0029] The above-described solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] (1) Large micelles can be prepared by a simple method. By adding a specific surfactant solution, the repulsive force of polar groups of medium and high molecular weight organic compounds and the hydrophobic effect of nonpolar groups can be controlled to generate large micelles.

[0031] (2) Coexistence of micelles of different sizes. Pre-micelles, micelles and condensed micelles coexist in the solution. The micelle diameter is generally greater than 100 nm, and the diameter of large micelles can reach 5 μm.

[0032] (3) High versatility. Organic matter in sodium aluminate solution mainly exists in anionic form, with high concentration, high molecular weight, high ionic strength, and low critical micelle concentration; after the addition of surfactant, large micelles can be generated. It is especially suitable for sodium aluminate solutions containing medium to high molecular weight organic matter.

[0033] (4) It is easy to graft into the Bayer process. It can be carried out in the crude liquor, concentrate or seed mother liquor in the Bayer process, or large micelles can be prepared in the crude liquor tank, concentrate tank, seed tank or washing tank.

[0034] (5) Low cost of organic matter removal. After generating large micelles, they can be removed by filtration, adsorbed on red mud, or adsorbed on hydrated calcium aluminate or fly ash.

[0035] (6) High organic matter removal rate. For the large amount of high molecular weight organic matter in sodium aluminate solution, the organic matter removal rate is greater than 30% based on TOC. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] Studies on the interfacial behavior of organic matter in sodium aluminate solution are scarce, and research on the preparation of large-sized organic micelles is even rarer. For example, surfactant micelles in aqueous solutions are generally smaller than 0.5 μm, with most ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Most research on preparing large-sized micelles focuses on fields such as oilfield recovery and wastewater treatment. While existing techniques employ adsorption and flotation to remove organic matter by adding surfactants to control the zeta potential of hydrated calcium aluminate, regulate the critical micelle concentration, and promote micelle formation to achieve efficient organic matter removal, they do not address the size of micelles in solution. The control of micelle size in sodium aluminate solution remains unclear, which is a key reason for the complexity and high cost of organic matter removal processes in sodium aluminate solution. Therefore, this invention provides a method for generating large-sized micelles in sodium aluminate solution.

[0046] In studying the self-assembly of organic matter in sodium aluminate solution to form large-sized micelles, this invention specifically discovered:

[0047] (1) Sodium aluminate solution has high ionic strength, and the critical micelle concentration of surfactants in sodium aluminate solution is extremely low, almost always around 10. -5 -10 -4 Within the concentration range of mol / L.

[0049] (3) When specific cationic, amphoteric or nonionic surfactants are combined with anionic surfactants, the ion pairs of the surfactants can be easily generated through association, which can significantly increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the nonpolar groups and is conducive to the self-formation of large-sized layered micelles.

[0050] (4) A large number of micelles can re-aggregate, resulting in micelles of even larger size.

[0051] (5) A suitable cooling regime is conducive to the self-assembly of surfactant molecules and the generation of large micelles.

[0052] (6) In sodium aluminate solution, the formation of large micelles will lead to an increase in the absorbance of the solution; while even larger micelles (<5μm) will increase the turbidity of the solution.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0054] (1) Large micelles can be prepared by a simple method. By adding a specific surfactant solution, the repulsive force of polar groups of medium and high molecular weight organic compounds and the effect of non-polar groups can be controlled to generate large micelles.

[0055] (2) Coexistence of micelles of different sizes. Pre-micelles, micelles and condensed micelles coexist in the solution. The micelle diameter is generally greater than 100 nm, and the diameter of large micelles can reach 5 μm.

[0056] (3) High versatility. Organic matter in sodium aluminate solution mainly exists in anionic form, with high concentration, high molecular weight, high ionic strength, and low critical micelle concentration; after the addition of surfactant, large micelles can be generated. It is especially suitable for sodium aluminate solutions containing medium to high molecular weight organic matter.

[0057] (4) It is easy to graft into the Bayer process. It can be carried out in the crude liquor, concentrate or seed mother liquor in the Bayer process, or large micelles can be prepared in the crude liquor tank, concentrate tank, seed tank or washing tank.

[0058] (5) Low cost of organic matter removal. After generating large micelles, they can be removed by filtration, adsorbed onto red mud, or adsorbed onto hydrated calcium aluminate.

[0059] (6) High organic matter removal rate. For the large amount of high molecular weight organic matter in sodium aluminate solution, the organic matter removal rate is greater than 30% based on TOC.
