Detailed Implementation
[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0047] The following provides a detailed description of the silica, its production method, and tires provided in this application.
[0048] This application discloses a method for producing silica, which includes the following steps:
[0049] The waste tires obtained from the pretreatment process are subjected to a first oxidant activation treatment and a high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment, followed by a first solid-liquid separation to obtain a first liquid and a first solid.
[0050] The first liquid is mixed with the second oxidant and the flocculant, and then a second solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain the second liquid and the second solid.
[0051] The second solid is reacted with CO2 to undergo a carbonization reaction, followed by a third solid-liquid separation, and the solid is collected.
[0052] The processed materials include rubber powder and / or coke residue powder.
[0053] For reference, rubber powder can be obtained by pretreatment in the following way: For example, waste tires can be crushed into rubber granules, the fibers and iron contained in the rubber granules can be removed, and then the granules can be ground into rubber powder.
[0054] The silica content in the rubber powder can be ≥15wt%, preferably ≥25wt%. For example, the silica content in the rubber powder can be 15wt%, 20wt%, 25wt%, 30wt%, or 35wt%. It should be noted that if the silica content in the rubber powder is too low, the processing cost will be too high, resulting in poor economic efficiency.
[0055] In some implementations, waste tires can be first crushed into rubber blocks, and then the rubber blocks can be crushed into rubber granules and finely ground into rubber powder.
[0056] For example, waste tires can be crushed into rubber blocks of approximately 1-20 cm in size using a tire shredder or similar shredding equipment. These blocks can then be further pulverized into rubber granules of approximately 1-3 mm in diameter using a disc crusher (such as a rubber block crusher). Further, nylon fibers can be separated from the rubber granules using a fiber sorting machine, and iron can be removed from the granules a second time using an iron removal device. Finally, the rubber powder can be ground into rubber powder with a particle size of approximately 30-200 mesh using a ring roller mill, impact mill, or Raymond mill. In some preferred embodiments, the iron removal rate is ≥99.9%.
[0057] Furthermore, the rubber powder can be acidified to remove remaining metallic impurities (such as iron, manganese, copper, and other metal ions). For example, the acid used in the acidification treatment may include at least one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid. The amount of acid used can be 0.1-5 wt% of the coke residue powder, such as 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, or 5 wt%.
[0058] For reference, coke residue powder can also be obtained through pretreatment in the following ways: For example, waste tires can be pyrolyzed to obtain coke residue material; the coke residue material can then be crushed and iron removed to obtain coke residue powder.
[0059] In some embodiments, pyrolysis can be carried out at 200-450°C (e.g., 200°C, 250°C, 300°C, 350°C, 400°C, or 450°C, etc.) for 6-10 hours (e.g., 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, or 10 hours, etc.). Exemplarily, the silica content in the coke slag can be ≥15 wt%, preferably ≥30 wt%. Exemplarily, the silica content in the coke slag can be 15 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, or 40 wt%, etc.
[0060] The coke residue obtained after pyrolysis can be ultra-finely pulverized to a particle size of approximately 300-1200 mesh using fine pulverizing equipment (such as ring roller mills, impact mills, or Raymond mills). The coke residue powder is then obtained by removing the iron slag using an iron remover. In some preferred embodiments, the iron removal rate is ≥99.9%.
[0061] In some embodiments, the coke residue powder may be further subjected to acidification treatment to remove remaining metallic impurities (such as iron, manganese, copper, and other metal ions). Exemplarily, the acid used for acidification treatment may include at least one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid. The amount of acid used may be 0.1-5 wt% of the coke residue powder, such as 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, or 5 wt%.
[0062] Continuing from the above, by pre-treating waste tires to obtain processed materials with finer particles and fewer impurities, the silica in the resulting rubber powder or coke residue powder can react more readily with alkaline solutions.
[0063] In this application, the first oxidant used in the first oxidant activation treatment of the processed material may include, for example, hydrogen peroxide or ozone.
[0064] The mass ratio of the first oxidant to the treated product can be between 0.1:100 and 10:100, such as 0.1:100, 0.5:100, 1:100, 2:100, 3:100, 4:100, 5:100, 6:100, 7:100, 8:100, 9:100, or 10:100, or any other value within the range of 0.1:100 to 10:100. In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the first oxidant to the treated product is 0.3:100.
[0065] By performing the first oxidant activation treatment, the oxidant can be used to oxidize the organic or inorganic matter and metal ions in the treated material, which is beneficial to the pickling efficiency.
[0066] The alkaline solution used in high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment is a sodium hydroxide solution. The solid content of the sodium hydroxide solution can be 5-40%, such as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, or 40%. Here, "solid content" mainly refers to the amount of solid sodium hydroxide used.
[0067] The mass ratio of alkaline solution to the treated material can be between 5:100 and 25:100, such as 5:100, 10:100, 15:100, 20:100, or 25:100, or any other value within the range of 5:100 to 25:100. In some embodiments, the mass ratio of alkaline solution to the treated material is 15:100.
[0068] If the mass ratio of alkaline solution to the treated material is less than 5:100, it is not conducive to the dissolution and extraction of silica; if the mass ratio of alkaline solution to the treated material is greater than 25:100, it is not conducive to improving the modulus of the generated sodium silicate and affecting the quality.
[0069] The temperature for high-temperature alkali dissolution treatment can be 50-200℃, such as 50℃, 80℃, 100℃, 120℃, 150℃, 180℃, or 200℃, or any other value within the range of 50-200℃. In some embodiments, the temperature for high-temperature alkali dissolution treatment is 150℃.
[0070] If the temperature of the high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment is below 50℃, it is not conducive to the dissolution and extraction of silica; if the temperature of the high-temperature alkaline solution treatment is above 200℃, it wastes energy.
[0071] The pressure for high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment can be 0.05-1 MPa, such as 0.05 MPa, 0.1 MPa, 0.15 MPa, 0.2 MPa, 0.25 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.35 MPa, 0.4 MPa, 0.45 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 0.6 MPa, 0.7 MPa, 0.8 MPa, 0.9 MPa, or 1 MPa, or any other value within the range of 0.05-1 MPa. In some embodiments, the pressure for high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment is 0.5 MPa.
[0072] If the pressure of the high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment is less than 0.05 MPa, it is not conducive to the dissolution and extraction of silica; if the pressure of the high-temperature alkaline solution treatment exceeds 0.5 MPa, the dissolution treatment cost is too high.
[0073] The high-temperature alkali dissolution treatment time can be 0.5-5 hours, such as 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours, or 5 hours, or any other value within the range of 0.5-5 hours. In some embodiments, the high-temperature alkali dissolution treatment time is 3 hours.
[0074] If the high-temperature alkaline dissolution treatment time is less than 0.5 hours, it is not conducive to the dissolution and extraction of silica; if the high-temperature alkaline solution treatment time exceeds 5 hours, it is not conducive to the dissolution treatment cost being too high.
[0075] The main reaction equations involved in the above-mentioned high-temperature alkaline dissolution process are: nSiO2 + 2NaOH = Na2O·nSiO2 + H2O.
[0076] The first solid-liquid separation can be carried out using dehydration equipment such as plate and frame separators, horizontal screw presses, or centrifuges. Accordingly, the first liquid obtained after the first solid-liquid separation is sodium silicate filtrate.
[0077] In this application, the second oxidant may also include hydrogen peroxide or ozone, etc.
[0078] The mass ratio of the second oxidant to the treated product can also be 0.1:100-10:100, such as 0.1:100, 0.5:100, 1:100, 2:100, 3:100, 4:100, 5:100, 6:100, 7:100, 8:100, 9:100, or 10:100, or any other value within the range of 0.1:100-10:100. In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the second oxidant to the treated product is 0.3:100.
[0079] Flocculants may, by way of example but not by way of limitation, include at least one of polyaluminum chloride, polyaluminum sulfate, polyferric chloride, polyferric sulfate and polyaluminum ferric chloride.
[0080] The mass ratio of the treated material to the flocculant can be 100:0.01-100:2, such as 100:0.01, 100:0.05, 100:0.1, 100:0.5, 100:1, 100:1.5 or 100:2, or any other value within the range of 100:0.01-100:2.
[0081] By adding a flocculant, the first liquid can be clarified, for example, by flocculating impurities in the first liquid.
[0082] The second filtration and separation can be carried out using an activated carbon filtration device to obtain a high-purity second solid (sodium silicate).
[0083] In this application, the carbonization reaction temperature can be 50-98℃, such as 50℃, 55℃, 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, 95℃ or 98℃, or any other value within the range of 50-98℃.
[0084] If the carbonization reaction temperature is below 50℃, it is not conducive to the formation of silica; if the carbonization reaction temperature is above 98℃, the energy consumption is too high.
[0085] The pH value of the carbonization reaction can be 7.5-10.5, such as 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10 or 10.5, or any other value within the range of 7.5-10.5.
[0086] If the pH value of the carbonization reaction is lower than 7.5, it is not conducive to the formation of silica; if the pH value of the carbonization reaction is higher than 9.5, it is not conducive to the quality control of silica products.
[0087] The carbonization reaction time can be 0.1-5h, such as 0.1h, 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 4.5h or 5h, or any other value within the range of 0.1-5h.
[0088] If the carbonization reaction time is less than 0.1 hours, it is not conducive to the formation of silica; if the carbonization reaction time is more than 5 hours, it will affect the product quality.
[0089] The carbon dioxide content in the CO2 gas during the carbonization reaction can be, for example, 30-100 wt% (e.g., 30 wt%, 40 wt%, 50 wt%, 60 wt%, 70 wt%, 80 wt%, 90 wt%, or 100 wt%). If the CO2 content is below 30 wt%, it is not conducive to the formation of silica.
[0090] For example, the carbonization reaction can be carried out in equipment such as a centrifugal atomizing tower, a pressure atomizing tower, or a two-fluid atomizing tower.
[0091] The chemical equations involved in the above carbonization reaction include: Na2O·nSiO2+CO2=Na2CO3+nSiO2.
[0092] After carbonization, a silica slurry is obtained, which is then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain fumed silica.
[0093] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned process of producing silica, the remaining waste coke powder, rubber or coke residue can be further processed into recycled silica as needed. The specific methods can be referred to the relevant existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here.
[0094] Accordingly, this application also provides a silica prepared by the above method. This silica has high purity, significantly improved product uniformity, and good overall performance.
[0095] The aforementioned silica can be recycled for tire manufacturing, which can greatly reduce production costs and allow the components in tires to be recycled, making it both environmentally friendly and economical.
