Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a method for preparing a magnetic mercury-removal adsorbent from waste plastics and waste battery tailings and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] According to the atmospheric pollutant emission inventory, non-ferrous metal smelting and fossil fuel thermal power generation are one of the main anthropogenic mercury emission sources. Generally speaking, oxidized mercury (Hg 2+ ) and particulate mercury (Hg p ) in smelting flue gas can be effectively removed by tail flue gas pollutant control devices and particulate control devices, while elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) is often difficult to capture due to its high chemical stability, strong volatility and low solubility. Therefore, developing efficient, environmentally friendly and recyclable mercury-removal adsorbents has become a key task for controlling flue gas mercury emissions.

[0003] Up to now, a large number of mercury-removal adsorbents have been developed, such as activated carbon, fly ash, noble metals, metal oxides, metal sulfides, etc. From the practicality and engineering point of view, the activated carbon injection technology is a relatively mature adsorbent mercury removal method, but it is limited by the high cost of commercial activated carbon, poor recycling performance and secondary pollution, and has not been popularized in industry. Based on this, how to develop efficient, low-cost and recyclable mercury-removal adsorbents has become a bottleneck problem for solving the current flue gas injection mercury removal technology. Researchers have focused on easily accessible and low-cost materials, such as solid waste-based materials (magnetic beads extracted from fly ash, biomass coke, petroleum coke, fly ash-based materials, etc.), natural minerals, waste plastics, etc. The above work has brought enlightenment to the development of new mercury-removal adsorbents: (1) from the cost and resource utilization point of view, as much as possible, choose environmentally friendly and large industrial waste to serve as the substrate of the mercury-removal adsorbent, which can greatly reduce the cost and also realize high-value utilization of resources; (2) from the perspective of recycling and renewable, magnetic separation technology makes it possible to regenerate and recycle the mercury-removal adsorbent, and the key is how to realize the low-cost and simple magnetic recovery of the adsorbent; (3) from the industrial application and popularization point of view, the preparation method of the adsorbent is simple and convenient for large-scale production. Based on the above perspectives, waste battery acid extraction residues and waste plastics can be used as potential and excellent mercury-removal adsorbent preparation substrates.

[0004] In the past decade, with the popularity of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, the lithium battery industry has experienced explosive growth. At the same time, the scrap window period of waste lithium batteries has also been introduced, and the recycling of waste lithium batteries has been industrialized, mainly in three ways: wet recovery, fire recovery, and combination of wet and fire methods. The properties of waste battery residues extracted by wet recovery are relatively stable, and the waste residues after acid extraction still contain a small amount of Ni, Co and a large amount of Ca, Fe, which mainly exist in the form of sulfate. How to reasonably utilize the above acid-extracted waste residue is a problem that needs to be solved at present. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method for preparing a magnetic mercury removal adsorbent from waste plastics and waste battery tailings, and application thereof.

[0006] The technical scheme of the present application is:

[0007] The method for preparing a magnetic mercury removal adsorbent from waste plastics and waste battery tailings comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1, premixing treatment: crushing and grinding the waste plastics, then passing them through a 200-mesh screen to obtain waste plastic particles, and mixing and stirring the waste battery tailings after passing through a 200-mesh screen with the waste plastic particles at a mass ratio of 1:0.17~1 to obtain a mixed powder;

[0009] S2, pyrolysis reaction: 10g of the mixed powder is taken in a quartz boat and placed in a tube furnace, the furnace is pre-purged at room temperature with N2, the N2 flow rate is set to 1~1.5L / min, after purging for 5min, the tube furnace is raised to the target temperature of 500~700℃ at a heating rate of 7~10℃ / min, and the temperature is kept constant for 6h of pyrolysis reaction;

[0010] S3, post-treatment: after the pyrolysis reaction is completed, stop heating, maintain N2 purging for 0.5~1.5h, then close the N2 purging and close the inlet / outlet valve of the tube furnace, cool to room temperature under sealed conditions, then take out the pyrolysis product, grind the pyrolysis product and pass it through a 200-mesh screen to obtain a magnetic mercury removal adsorbent.

[0011] Further, the waste plastics in step S1 are one or more of PET, PPS, PVC, PS or PE, and the carbon content of the waste plastics is 30~50wt.%.

[0012] Note: The preferred waste plastics are common waste plastic raw materials, which are low in cost and easy to obtain.

[0013] Furthermore, the waste battery tailings in step S1 are waste ternary lithium battery acid leaching residues, and their elemental composition and mass percentage are: S 16~20%, Si 5~8%, Al 10~12%, Ca 15~18%, Ni 2~3%, Ba 2~3%, Fe balance.

[0014] Note: The preferred raw material is the acid leaching residue from waste ternary lithium batteries, which is readily available and inexpensive.

[0015] Furthermore, the stirring method in step S1 is as follows: waste battery residue and waste plastic particles are placed in a rolling mixer, the stirring speed is set to 60~80 rpm, and the stirring time is 30 min.

[0016] Instructions: Stirring ensures that waste battery residue and waste plastic granules are evenly mixed.

[0017] Furthermore, the room temperature in steps S2 and S3 is 25~37℃.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S3, the internal temperature of the tubular furnace is 280~300℃ when the N2 purging is turned off.

[0019] Explanation: Controlling the internal temperature of the tubular furnace when N2 purging is turned off is to alleviate the thermal expansion and contraction effect caused by instantaneous cooling, and to prevent pyrolysis gas generated by residual plastic particles from remaining in the furnace and affecting the formation of pyrolysis products.

[0020] The magnetic mercury removal adsorbent prepared by the above-mentioned method of preparing magnetic mercury removal adsorbent from waste plastics and waste battery tailings is applied to the removal of gaseous mercury from flue gas, including the following steps:

[0021] 30 mg of magnetic mercury removal adsorbent and 40 mg of quartz sand were mixed evenly to obtain the first adsorption powder. 20 mg of magnetic mercury removal adsorbent and 30 mg of quartz sand were mixed evenly to obtain the second adsorption powder. The first adsorption powder was sprinkled onto quartz wool to form the first adsorption section. The first adsorption section was placed in the middle of a circular tube with an inner diameter of 6-8 mm and compressed to a length of 1-1.5 cm. A 1-1.2 cm long piece of quartz wool was placed at the front end of the first adsorption section as a sealing section. A 1-1.5 cm long piece of quartz wool was placed at the rear end of the first adsorption section as a supplementary section. A supplementary tube was installed on the circular tube at this location. The second adsorption section was placed at the rear end of the supplementary section, and a 1-1.2 cm long sealing section was placed at the rear end of the second adsorption section. Then, the second adsorption section was placed into the circular tube. Mercury-containing flue gas is introduced into the tube and passes through the first adsorption section, the replenishment section, and the second adsorption section sequentially from front to back. The flow rate of the mercury-containing flue gas is 1~1.2L / min. The middle part of the circular tube is heated by an external heater at a temperature of 120℃ for 0.5h. Then the gas supply is stopped, the sealing plug of the replenishment tube is opened, and the second adsorption powder is added to it so that it adheres to the quartz wool inside the replenishment section. The sealing plug of the replenishment tube is closed, and mercury-containing flue gas is introduced again under the same conditions for another 0.5h. The mercury concentration of the treated mercury-containing flue gas is measured using a mercury analyzer to complete one reaction cycle. The quartz wool inside the replenishment section with the second adsorption powder attached in this reaction cycle is then used as the second adsorption section in the next reaction cycle.

[0022] Furthermore, the mercury-containing flue gas contains HgO with a mass concentration of 100 μg / m³. 3 Nitrogen gas.

[0023] Furthermore, in the first reaction cycle, the second adsorption section is the same as the first adsorption section.

[0024] Note: By applying the supplementary stage to the second adsorption stage of the next reaction cycle, the utilization rate of the adsorption powder can be improved, raw materials can be saved, and the problem of decreased adsorption efficiency due to prolonged reaction of the adsorption powder can be avoided.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0026] The present invention discloses a method for preparing magnetic mercury removal adsorbents from waste plastics and waste battery tailings. Using waste battery acid extraction tailings and waste plastics as precursors, the method employs a simple pyrolysis reaction to synthesize the magnetic mercury removal adsorbent. The raw materials are readily available and inexpensive, the preparation method is simple, and it is easy to achieve industrial-scale application. The prepared magnetic mercury removal adsorbent has many advantages such as high mercury removal efficiency, strong acid and water resistance, magnetic recovery capability, and high-temperature regeneration capability. This provides a new preparation method for magnetic recyclable flue gas mercury removal adsorbents.

[0027] The present invention provides a method for preparing magnetic mercury removal adsorbents by co-processing waste plastics with waste battery tailings. This method uses waste battery acid extraction tailings and waste plastics as pyrolysis substrates, which solves the problem of recycling bulk solid waste battery leaching tailings and waste plastics, and expands the ways to jointly utilize battery acid extraction waste and waste plastics for resource recovery and high-value utilization.

[0028] The method for preparing magnetic mercury removal adsorbent from waste plastics and waste battery tailings of the present invention controls the internal temperature of the tubular furnace when N2 purging is turned off. This is to alleviate the thermal expansion and contraction effect caused by instantaneous cooling, and to prevent the pyrolysis gas generated by residual plastic particles from remaining in the furnace and affecting the generation of pyrolysis products.

[0029] In the application of the present invention of preparing magnetic mercury removal adsorbent from waste plastics and waste battery tailings, by applying the supplementary stage to the second adsorption stage of the next reaction cycle, the utilization rate of the adsorption powder can be improved, raw materials can be saved, and the problem of decreased adsorption efficiency of adsorption powder during long-term reaction can be avoided.

The first adsorption powder was sprinkled onto quartz wool to form the first adsorption section 1. The first adsorption section 1 was placed in the middle of a 7 mm inner diameter circular tube and compressed to a length of 1.2 cm.

[0082] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 18 is that:

A 1 cm long piece of quartz wool is placed at the front end of the first adsorption section 1 as a sealing section 5, and a 1 cm long piece of quartz wool is placed at the rear end of the first adsorption section 1 as a supplementary section 3. A supplementary tube 6 is provided on the circular tube at this position. The second adsorption section 2 is placed at the rear end of the supplementary section 3, and a 1 cm long sealing section 5 is placed at the rear end of the second adsorption section 2. Then, mercury-containing flue gas is introduced into the circular tube and passes through the first adsorption section 1, the supplementary section 3, and the second adsorption section 2 in sequence from front to back. The flow rate of the mercury-containing flue gas is 1 L / min. Example 20

[0084] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 18 is that:

[0085] The first adsorption section 1 is placed in the middle of a circular tube with an inner diameter of 8 mm and compressed to a length of 1.5 cm. A quartz wool with a length of 1.2 cm is placed at the front end of the first adsorption section 1 as a sealing section 5. A quartz wool with a length of 1.5 cm is placed at the rear end of the first adsorption section 1 as a supplementary section 3. A supplementary tube 6 is provided on the circular tube at this position. The second adsorption section 2 is placed at the rear end of the supplementary section 3. A 1.2 cm sealing section 5 is placed at the rear end of the second adsorption section 2. Then, mercury-containing flue gas is introduced into the circular tube and passes through the first adsorption section 1, the supplementary section 3 and the second adsorption section 2 in sequence from front to back. The flow rate of the mercury-containing flue gas is 1.2 L / min.

[0086] Experimental Example

[0087] The magnetic mercury removal adsorbents prepared in Examples 1-15 were tested, and the operation method in Example 18 was followed in all cases. The mercury removal data of the mercury-containing flue gas were statistically analyzed. Figure 2 As shown, the preparation parameters in Examples 5, 6 and 15 can achieve the best adsorption treatment effect.

[0088] like Figure 3 It can be seen that at room temperature, the adsorbent in Example 13 exhibits a significant increase in magnetic moment as the magnetic field strength increases in a magnetic field of ±2T. When the magnetic field strength reaches 2T, the magnetic moment is not yet saturated, demonstrating the adsorbent's good magnetism and excellent magnetic recovery potential.
