Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a phosphorus tailing-based high-hydration-resistance calcium-magnesium refractory particle preparation method, which is a high-value utilization method for calcium-magnesium components in industrial solid waste phosphorus tailings in phosphorus chemical production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Phosphorus tailings are large amounts of mining solid waste produced after ore dressing to extract concentrate in the phosphorus chemical industry, and most of them are stacked in tailings ponds. The stacking of phosphorus tailings will cause a series of environmental problems and safety problems, and will also bring huge financial and land pressure to enterprises, seriously restricting the sustainable development of enterprises.

[0003] At present, the main application direction of phosphorus tailings is building materials and aggregates, and the added value is low. Meanwhile, there are also studies on using phosphorus tailings to prepare refractory materials, but these studies often need to add titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, zirconium oxide and other additives, which greatly increases the cost, and the hydration resistance and high temperature performance cannot meet the clean steel smelting requirements.

[0004] The application designs a "purification-grinding-granulation-drying-calcination" process for phosphorus tailings, and a phosphorus tailing-based high-hydration-resistance calcium-magnesium refractory particle preparation method is obtained. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to provide a phosphorus tailing-based high-hydration-resistance calcium-magnesium refractory particle preparation method. The prepared calcium-magnesium particles have excellent hydration resistance and excellent high-temperature performance. The melting steel ingot test proves that the phosphorus element in the calcium-magnesium particles will not escape into the steel ingot, proving that the material can be applied to clean steel smelting as a new type of environmentally friendly refractory material. The technical scheme of the application comprises the following steps:

[0006] (1) Pretreatment of calcium-magnesium phosphorus tailings: after one reverse flotation for removing phosphorus, one roughing-three scavenging-one cleaning for flotation process for extracting calcium-magnesium, a calcium-magnesium component is obtained, and the thermogravimetric diagram of the calcium-magnesium component is as shown in Figure 1 ;

[0007] (2) The selected calcium-magnesium component is lightly calcined after being pressed into a cylindrical test block to obtain a lightly calcined calcium-magnesium component;

[0008] In some embodiments, the selected calcium-magnesium component is pressed into a cylindrical test block with a diameter of 50 and a height of 50 under a certain pressure

[0010] The calcium magnesium component obtained in step (1) is 19-22% MgO, 30-35% CaO, 0.8-1.5% P2O5, 0.6-1.2% SiO2, and 0.1-0.3% Al2O3.

[0011] In step (2), the binding agent used to realize the cylindrical test block is selected from any one of anhydrous ethanol, anhydrous propanol, and anhydrous butanol; and the light burning temperature is 700-850°C.

[0012] After light burning and dry grinding, the particle size of the calcium magnesium component is less than 75 μm, so that it is fully dispersed and has good granulation property.

[0013] After grinding, water is sprayed at a rotation speed of 100-150 r / min, and when the calcium magnesium particles are realized, the rotation speed is reduced to 20-30 r / min.

[0014] The aqueous solution contains added phytic acid, and the amount of the added phytic acid is 10-30%.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following positive effects:

[0016] ① The present application processes the phosphorus tailings through "concentration - briquetting - light burning - grinding - granulation - secondary calcination", the light burning temperature is low, and high hydration resistance calcium magnesium refractory particles can be obtained without dead burning in the medium temperature treatment, no modifier such as zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, and yttrium oxide needs to be added in the preparation process, and the cost and energy consumption are low;

[0017] ② The calcium magnesium refractory particles prepared by the present application have a use temperature as high as 1800°C or above, and have stable high-temperature performance;

[0018] ③ The calcium magnesium refractory particles prepared by the present application can be mixed with high-quality magnesia to prepare magnesium calcium bricks with high softening temperature under load, high high-temperature compressive strength, and good corrosion resistance, and can be used as a new type of magnesium calcium refractory material raw material to help the green and sustainable development of the clean steel industry and the phosphorus chemical industry.
