Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of chemical industry, non-ferrous metallurgy, and environmental protection, specifically to a method for preparing aluminum fluoride from aluminum ash. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum ash is an industrial byproduct generated during the production of electrolytic aluminum, cast aluminum, and waste aluminum recycling. my country's aluminum industry produces more than 3 million tons of aluminum ash annually. Because aluminum ash contains harmful substances such as aluminum nitride, soluble fluoride salts, and chloride salts, it is listed in the "National Hazardous Waste List". The harmless treatment and high-value utilization of aluminum ash are of great significance to the green and high-quality development of the aluminum industry.
[0003] The harmless treatment of aluminum ash mainly involves denitrification and desalination. The most common denitrification method is to calcine the aluminum ash at high temperature in air to convert aluminum nitride into nitrogen and alumina. However, during the oxidative calcination process, a dense alumina film easily forms on the surface of the aluminum nitride particles, hindering the further denitrification reaction and resulting in low denitrification efficiency. Chinese patent application CN112744850A discloses a method for the comprehensive utilization of secondary aluminum ash resources. First, secondary aluminum ash and sodium alkali are used to form pellets of 30-200mm using a binder. Then, these pellets are placed in a high-temperature kiln for calcination. The sodium alkali is used to oxidize aluminum nitride to convert the resulting alumina into sodium aluminate, thereby alleviating the barrier effect of the formed alumina film and enhancing the denitrification reaction. Although this method uses alkali sintering to improve denitrification efficiency, the amount of alkali added is large, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, the large pellet diameter leads to uneven heating, high solid-phase reaction temperature, long reaction time, and high energy consumption. Chinese patent application CN110902706A discloses a method for preparing polyaluminum chloride from aluminum ash. First, aluminum ash and coke are formed into 5-20 mm pellets using a binder. Then, these pellets are calcined in chlorine gas at 700-1100℃ in a moving bed, converting aluminum nitride into nitrogen and aluminum chloride. While this method can denitrify aluminum nitride and obtain high-value-added aluminum chloride, the use of large-particle pellets in the chlorination calcination process leads to uneven heating and high diffusion resistance for the generated aluminum chloride and nitrogen, resulting in a slow reaction rate, low efficiency, and high energy consumption. Chinese patent application CN112850762A discloses a method for preparing aluminum chloride from aluminum ash pellets via chlorination-oxygen pressure conversion and utilizing all components. First, aluminum ash and coke are mixed uniformly in a certain proportion to form pellets. Then, these pellets are calcined in chlorine gas at 1000℃ in a moving bed, yielding nitrogen and high-value-added products such as aluminum chloride, silicon chloride, and magnesium chloride. Although this scheme can harmlessly treat aluminum ash and realize the high-value utilization of elements such as aluminum, silicon, and magnesium, it also suffers from problems such as slow reaction rate, low efficiency, and high energy consumption due to the use of pellet chlorination, which results in large gas phase diffusion resistance.
[0004] Therefore, given the current limitations of efficient aluminum ash utilization in process technology, the key to achieving large-scale, efficient, clean, and high-value utilization of aluminum ash lies in strengthening the denitrification and desalination process, improving reaction efficiency, reducing process energy consumption, and utilizing the aluminum resources in aluminum ash to prepare high-value-added products through process and technological innovation.
