Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fluorine-containing waste acid treatment, and in particular to a method for comprehensively utilizing fluorine-containing waste acid to recover hydrofluoric acid. Background Art
[0002] Fluorine is an important trace element in the human body and is a necessary component of teeth and bones. However, excessive intake can cause poisoning symptoms such as skeletal fluorosis and dental fluorosis, and it is easily absorbed by the human body, animals and plants, and accumulates in organisms to cause poisoning. In the production process of the semiconductor, panel, and photovoltaic industries, it is sometimes necessary to use hydrofluoric acid or other acid mixtures for surface treatment, which discharges fluorine-containing waste acid to varying degrees. These wastewaters are highly acidic and have high fluoride concentrations. The current common treatment method is to adopt chemical precipitation, which uses various calcium sources (calcium chloride, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, carbide slag, etc.) as precipitants and uses F - With Ca 2+ The difficult-to-generate CaF is precipitated to remove fluoride ions. Treating fluorine-containing waste acid in this way will produce a large amount of solid wastes such as calcium fluoride, sodium fluoride and calcium sulfate. These sludges have complex components and are difficult to recycle. They are generally treated by landfill. A large amount of fluorine resources are converted into sludge with no economic value, which not only wastes fluorine resources, but also poses a risk of secondary pollution. At the same time, the use of chemical precipitation to treat photovoltaic waste acid will also cause the loss of other useful components in the waste acid. In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for comprehensive utilization of fluorine-containing waste acid to recover hydrofluoric acid, thereby realizing resource recovery and reuse, which is of great significance to energy conservation and environmental protection.

The fluorine-containing waste acid is blown off, and the hydrofluoric acid with a low boiling point is blown off with the ultrafine bubbles floating in the fluorine-containing waste acid to form hydrogen fluoride gas escaping the waste acid.
[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the specific process of the low-temperature water spraying treatment in step 2 is as follows:
[0014] The water temperature of the spray water in the spray tower system is controlled to be less than 15°C, and the spray water absorbs the hydrofluoric acid in the gas to form aqueous hydrofluoric acid.

[0030] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0031] The invention discloses a method for recycling hydrofluoric acid by comprehensive utilization of fluorine-containing waste acid, which comprises the following steps: subjecting the fluorine-containing waste acid to ultrafine bubble stripping, subjecting a part of the stripped gas to low-temperature water spraying treatment to obtain aqueous hydrofluoric acid, subjecting the other part of the stripped gas to temperature control to remove water vapor, and then subjecting the other part of the stripped gas to chemical dehydration and condensation to obtain industrial anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, subjecting the residual liquid remaining after the ultrafine bubble stripping to reaction treatment, and recovering acid solution and fluorosilicate;
[0032] This method does not follow the traditional practice of producing a large amount of sludge. Instead, a portion of the valuable hydrofluoric acid is directly extracted by stripping to make aqueous hydrofluoric acid and industrial anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The aqueous hydrofluoric acid and industrial anhydrous hydrogen fluoride are prepared by concentration and can be reused in the production process of semiconductor, panel and photovoltaic industries, achieving comprehensive utilization while reducing the generation of secondary pollution and creating benefits.
[0033] In the method, the residual liquid after stripping is subjected to reaction treatment, and the residual liquid still contains a large amount of hydrofluoric acid and fluorosilicic acid. By adding precipitated white carbon black, the following reaction occurs: 6HF+SiO2→H2SiF6+2H2O, thereby fully converting the hydrofluoric acid in the residual liquid into fluorosilicic acid. When sulfate or hydrochloride is added thereto, the following reaction occurs when sulfate is added: H2SiF6+Na2SO4=Na2SiF6↓+H2SO4, thereby fully converting the fluorosilicic acid into acid solution and sodium fluorosilicate for recovery. When hydrochloride is added, the following reaction occurs: H2SiF6+2KCl=K2SiF6↓+2HCl, thereby fully converting the fluorosilicic acid into acid solution and potassium fluorosilicate for recovery. The obtained product is easy to separate and has no other pollution. The recovered acid solution can be used in the field of pickling. The recovered fluorosilicate has high purity and can be directly sold or used to create economic value.
[0034] In summary, the method not only improves resource utilization and reduces environmental impact by reusing fluorine-containing waste acid, but also the obtained hydrofluoric acid, acid solution and fluorosilicate have high market value and significant economic benefits. In addition, the process flow of the present invention is simple and easy to implement, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
