Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of industrial solid waste treatment and environmental protection, and particularly relates to a high-activity lime milk as well as a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Phosphogypsum is a by-product of the phosphoric acid industry. Generally, 4.5-5.5 tons of phosphogypsum are produced for each ton of phosphoric acid. Phosphogypsum belongs to solid waste, and its appearance is fine-particle powder or block-shaped material in yellowish white, grayish white or blackish gray. China is a large country in the production of phosphate fertilizer in the world, and the total stock of phosphogypsum has exceeded 800 million tons, with an annual increase of about 50 million tons. However, most of the phosphogypsum is treated by stacking, which not only occupies land resources, but also causes serious environmental threat. Therefore, it is very urgent to solve the environmental problems caused by phosphogypsum, which not only contributes to the sustainable development of the wet-process phosphoric acid industry, but also promotes the economic prosperity of the surrounding areas of enterprises. At present, there are mainly two ways to treat phosphogypsum in engineering: one is to discharge and abandon it, i.e. to stack it; the other is to utilize it after harmless treatment. At present, most of the phosphogypsum is treated by open-air stacking in the slag yard of each phosphoric acid enterprise. Phosphogypsum has high water content and fine particles, and has strong fluidity and migration. Specifically, the soluble phosphorus, fluorine and metal sulfides in phosphogypsum are easily formed into percolate containing harmful substances through the action of precipitation, which will seriously pollute the groundwater and the surrounding soil. Lime neutralization and solidification is the preferred process for the pretreatment of non-water-washing phosphogypsum. The lime neutralization method has remarkable effect, simple process route and low investment, and is a practical and effective method in the pretreatment mode, especially suitable for phosphogypsum with low organic matter content and stable quality. However, the commonly used traditional lime reagents (such as quicklime, slaked lime and composite alkali) have problems of low effective calcium content and weak alkalinity. In the harmless process of phosphogypsum, these problems will lead to poor solidification effect of harmful components, and it is difficult to convert them from the second-class solid waste to the first-class solid waste. Therefore, the development of new functional lime reagents to solve the above technical problems is a hot research issue at present.

[0003] Phosphorus and fluorine are common pollutants in water bodies. Excessive phosphorus in water bodies will lead to water eutrophication, which will destroy the water ecological environment. The copper green microalgae that can easily grow in eutrophic water bodies and the red tide water bodies caused by eutrophication will cause great harm to human health and the aquaculture industry. Excessive fluorine in water will enter the human body through the food chain, leading to fluorosis, and even harming the nervous system. China has strict control on these two pollutants. In the first level standard of the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB 8978-1996), the limits of total phosphorus and fluorine (calculated as fluoride) are 0.5 mg / L and 10 mg / L, respectively.

[0004] At present, the methods for removing phosphorus and fluorine from wastewater mainly include biological method, chemical precipitation method, adsorption method, membrane technology treatment method, etc., and the methods for removing fluorine mainly include adsorption, precipitation, ion exchange and membrane separation technology, etc. Among them, the adsorption method is concerned due to its simple process, easy-to-control condition, reliable operation and ability to achieve deep treatment level. The adsorbent is the core of the adsorption method, and some metal oxide adsorbents are increasingly paid attention to due to their ability to form coordination complexes with phosphorus and fluorine ions and good adsorption selectivity. A large number of studies have proved that when the pH is higher than 6, F generally exists in the form of F-; when the pH is higher than 10, P exists in the form of (PO4) 3- Adding calcium base into wastewater can adjust the pH value, so that F and P are converted into ion forms that can be treated, and Ca can react with F and P to generate CaF2 and Ca(PO4)3, etc. which are difficult to dissolve in water, so as to be precipitated and separated from the water body, so as to achieve the effect of removing phosphorus and fluorine from wastewater. If the pH value is too high, the pH value of the water body can be adjusted by using sulfuric acid, and at the same time, the excess calcium ions can be removed. Therefore, calcium base has obvious advantages in wastewater treatment. However, the solubility of traditional calcium base (such as quicklime and slaked lime) in water is not high, and the dispersing performance is poor, so a large amount of calcium cannot be utilized, causing waste and secondary pollution. Therefore, the performance improvement of calcium treatment agent is an important problem in the treatment of water body by calcium base method.

[0005] However, in the existing research, most adsorbents can only have good adsorption effect on one of the pollutants of phosphorus or fluorine, and do not have the ability to simultaneously and efficiently remove phosphorus and fluorine. In fact, phosphorus and fluorine often exist simultaneously in natural water or groundwater. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and prepare a new type of composite alkaline precipitator, which combines the specific adsorption ability of metal oxides for phosphorus and fluorine and the excellent hydrodynamic performance of large particle carriers, so as to achieve the purpose of simultaneously removing phosphorus and fluorine. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a high-activity lime milk and a preparation method and application thereof, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing adsorbents cannot simultaneously and efficiently remove phosphorus and fluorine.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0008] The present application discloses a preparation method of high-activity lime milk, which comprises: ball milling calcium oxide, adding organic dispersant butyl formate and n-propanol to the calcium oxide powder after ball milling, stirring for the first time, and adding gelling retarder glycerol dropwise under stirring condition, standing for 1.5-2.5 h, then adding water into the reaction system and stirring uniformly, and naturally cooling, so as to obtain high-activity lime milk.

[0009] Preferably, the ball milling adopts dry milling, the ball milling beads adopt agate beads with a diameter of 5mm, the rotating speed is set to 200rpm, and the ball milling time is 1.5-2.5h, so that 85% of the calcium oxide has a particle size of less than 200 mesh.

[0010] Preferably, the mass ratio of the organic dispersing agent butyl formate and n-propanol is (2-3):(1-2).

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of the calcium oxide, butyl formate and n-propanol is 20:(2-3):(1-2).

[0012] Preferably, the addition amount of the glycerol is 2-5g per 100g of the calcium oxide.

[0013] More preferably, the glycerol is used as a retarder to control the viscosity of the composite emulsion. The glycerol is a commercially available product with a purity of 99%.

[0014] Preferably, the calcium oxide is a commercially available product with an effective calcium content of ≥80%, and the butyl formate and n-propanol are commercially available products with a purity of 99%.

[0015] Preferably, the amount of water added is 100g of water per 11g of the calcium oxide.

[0016] Preferably, the first stirring time is controlled to be 10-20min, and the second stirring time is at least 2h to reduce the temperature of the reaction system to below 40℃.

[0017] The application discloses a high-activity lime milk prepared by the preparation method.

[0018] The application further discloses application of the high-activity lime milk in harmless treatment of phosphogypsum.

[0019] The application further discloses application of the high-activity lime milk in treatment of phosphorus-containing and fluorine-containing wastewater.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The preparation method of the high-activity lime milk disclosed by the present application breaks through the technical defects of traditional lime medicaments, mixes the calcium oxide after dry ball milling with different types of water reducing agents, surfactants and active components to improve the emulsification degree of lime powder. The calcium oxide powder after ball milling is selected in the composite emulsion, which reduces the particle size and dispersion resistance of solid materials and increases the stability and rheological property of the composite emulsion. Meanwhile, the use of some ester and alcohol organic matters greatly increases the dispersibility of metal oxides, promotes the full mixing and reaction of the metal oxides in the phosphogypsum to be treated or wastewater, and the effect after treatment is stable. The organic components are volatile, the addition of the retarder glycerol enables the medicament to be stored for a long time and reduces the stratification phenomenon. Some organic matters and other medicaments in the high-activity lime milk can improve the treatment effect and reduce the influence on the environment.

[0022] Further, the prepared calcium-based high-activity lime milk with high alkalinity and high rheological property is applied to the harmless disposal of phosphogypsum and the adsorption treatment of wastewater containing phosphorus and fluorine, and the effectiveness, economy and stability are guaranteed.

[0023] In the wastewater removal process, the high-activity lime milk has the characteristics of high rheological property, high activity and high dispersity, can be fully dispersed and release calcium ions in the water body; the pH value adjustment takes effect quickly and the dosage is small, does not contain other pollution components and does not cause the problems of ordinary lime, such as difficult solubility, excessive addition leading to high pH value, easy caking and heat release. After the high-activity lime milk is put into the water body, the high rheological property of the degradable organic components wrapped with alkaline components can be fully dispersed in the water body, and Ca 2+ , P and F are fully reacted and precipitated, so that the present calcium alkali realizes the efficient treatment of the polluted water body. As described above, the high-activity lime milk prepared by the present application has very wide application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
