Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention provides a process for reactive distillation, dealkali removal, carbon fixation, and reduction ironmaking of high-speed iron red mud, which belongs to the field of environmental protection. Background Technology
[0002] Red mud is a highly alkaline pollutant waste residue discharged during the extraction of alumina in the electrolytic aluminum industry. On average, 1.0 to 2.0 tons of red mud are generated for every ton of alumina produced. Resource utilization is an internationally recognized effective means of utilizing red mud. Although five major utilization technologies have been developed domestically and internationally, namely powder materials, element extraction, cementing materials, road materials, and building ceramics materials, they are all currently in the technological development stage and have not yet been commercialized.
[0003] The high-value utilization of ferrous red mud containing over 30% iron oxide produced in the Bayer process has been a persistent challenge. The fundamental reason is the excessive sodium oxide content and high non-magnetic iron oxide content in the red mud. Red mud is a highly alkaline solid waste with a pH as high as 11-13. The alkaline substances in red mud are mainly of two types: soluble alkali (free alkali) and insoluble alkali (bound alkali). Free alkali mainly includes NaOH, Na₂CO₃, and NaHCO₃. 3、 Insoluble alkalis include NaAl(OH)4, Na2SiO3, etc., and include calcite, nepheline, hydrated garnet, sodalite, and tricalcium aluminate. Nepheline is the main alkali-containing substance, with sodium oxide (Na2O) being the main alkaline oxide in its chemical composition, accounting for up to 12.91%, mainly in the form of caustic soda, sodium aluminate, and sodium aluminosilicate. Soluble alkalis can be removed by CO2 or water washing at normal temperature and pressure, but this part accounts for a small proportion. Most of the alkalis are insoluble, especially in Bayer process red mud, where sodium silicate slag accounts for a large proportion, about 35-45%. The removal of this part of the alkali is one of the most difficult problems to solve globally and a key issue affecting the further large-scale utilization of red mud. In addition, the iron oxides contained in high-iron red mud include not only strongly magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4), but also non-magnetic or weakly magnetic needle-like iron oxide, sodium ferrite, and ferric hydroxide, which directly affect the magnetic separation effect and recovery rate. There is an urgent need for efficient, rapid, and low-cost reduction magnetization technology and equipment.
[0004] Electrolytic aluminum production is a high-energy-consuming and high-polluting industry, and is typically supported by large-scale thermal power plants. These plants process CO2 and SO2 from the flue gas. x and NO xUsing acidic gases for red mud dealkali removal can achieve acid-base neutralization and waste-to-waste treatment, while efficiently and cost-effectively solving the two major challenges of red mud dealkali removal and flue gas decarbonization and ultra-low emissions. Alcoa in Western Australia has already extensively applied the CO2 method for dealkali removal, adding gaseous and liquid CO2 to thickened red mud slurry. The CO2 reacts with the alkaline components in the slurry to achieve dealkali removal. However, current methods using gas dispersion by introducing flue gas into the red mud slurry or red mud slurry spraying achieve dealkali removal rates of less than 50%. Furthermore, due to SO2... x Stronger acidity than CO2, it readily reacts with insoluble alkaline substances, significantly improving the dealkali removal rate. However, existing flue gas dealkali removal processes have not yet achieved staged utilization of flue gas, making insoluble alkaline substances a persistent problem in red mud dealkali removal. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop multiphase flow reactive distillation dealkali removal and carbon fixation technology and equipment for high-speed iron red mud flue gas, as well as its reduction ironmaking process, to overcome the challenges posed by SO2. x This technology addresses industrial bottlenecks such as efficient CO2 utilization based on reactivity, slurry blockage, and efficient dispersion, mass transfer, and reaction, and constructs a high-value utilization industrial chain for high-iron red mud resources, providing a guarantee for the sustainable and high-quality development of the electrolytic aluminum industry. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies for the resource utilization of high-speed iron red mud by proposing a reactive distillation process for dealkalization, carbon fixation, and reduction ironmaking of high-speed iron red mud. This process not only solves the problem of removing insoluble alkaline substances from red mud in a low-cost and efficient manner, but also addresses the challenge of high-value utilization of high-speed iron red mud resources through fluidized bed drying, reduction magnetization, magnetic separation, and in-situ reduction ironmaking in a gas flow bed. Furthermore, it enables the efficient utilization of acidic gases in flue gas according to their reactivity, thus solving the problems of decarbonization and ultra-low emissions of combustion flue gas at a high efficiency and low cost.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention:
[0007] This invention provides a reactive distillation process for dealkalization, carbon fixation, and reduction ironmaking using high-iron red mud. High-iron red mud slurry at 10-100℃ is pumped to the top of a reactive distillation column, where it comes into counter-current contact with mixed flue gas at 30-180℃ introduced from the bottom of the column via a cross-flow tray or packing with 1-30 theoretical plates. The feed ratio of mixed flue gas to red mud slurry is 500-3000:1 (volume ratio). The process reduces the concentration of CO2 and SO2 in the flue gas within the reactive distillation column. x and NO x Acidic gases undergo efficient reactive distillation with Na₂O, K₂O, and their basic salts in the slurry, producing SO₂. x and NO xThe reaction mainly occurs in the lower part of the column with insoluble alkaline substances, while CO2 mainly reacts with soluble alkaline substances in the upper part of the column, reducing the pH value of the red mud slurry from 11-14 to no more than 8. The purified flue gas is discharged from the top of the reactive distillation column, while the de-alkali-fixed and carbon-fixed ferrous red mud slurry flows out from the bottom of the reactive distillation column and is dehydrated of concentrated brine. The dehydrated ferrous red mud slurry is diluted again with some wash brine and then pumped to the top of the water washing desalting column for countercurrent water washing desalting. Part of the wash brine flowing out from the top of the water washing desalting column is used to dilute the dehydrated red mud slurry, and part is mixed with concentrated brine and sent back to the alumina extraction section. The dehydrated red mud slurry flowing out from the bottom of the water washing desalting column is dehydrated and sent to a fluidized bed dryer. It is heated by the reduction tail gas after supplemental combustion and then fluidized. The dried tail gas obtained from gas-solid separation at the top of the fluidized bed dryer is mixed with the flue gas and sent to the bottom of the reactive distillation column. The gas-solid separation at the top of the fluidized bed dryer... The separated, dried, desalinated high-iron red mud is fed into a fluidized bed reduction reactor, where it undergoes a reduction and magnetization reaction with ironmaking tail gas at 1300-1700℃. The reduction tail gas obtained from the gas-solid separation at the top of the fluidized bed reduction reactor is used as the fluidized drying gas for the fluidized bed drying tower after heat recovery by combustion. The reduced red mud obtained from the gas-solid separation at the top of the reduction fluidized bed reduction reactor is cooled and then magnetically separated to recover refined iron ore powder. The refined iron ore powder and coal powder are mixed and fed into a Y-type fluidized bed gasification reduction ironmaking furnace using an oxidant. In-situ gasification reduction ironmaking is carried out at 1300-1700℃. The high-temperature molten iron, slag, and ironmaking tail gas flow downward into the settling separator at the bottom of the Y-type fluidized bed gasification reduction ironmaking furnace. After settling and stratification, molten iron, slag, and ironmaking tail gas are obtained from different outlets. The ironmaking tail gas is sent back to the fluidized bed reduction reactor, while the molten iron and slag are discharged as products.
[0008] The reactive distillation column is a cross-flow structure without downcomers. A high-iron red mud slurry distributor is installed at the top of the column. The tray spacing of the cross-flow column is 250-900 mm. A mixed flue gas distributor is installed at the bottom of the column. The top of the column is the purified flue gas outlet, and the bottom of the column is the dealkalized and carbonized red mud slurry outlet.

[0012] The fluidized bed drying tower is a bubbling fluidized bed, a turbulent fluidized bed, or a riser conveying bed, and the fluidized drying temperature is 100~180℃.
[0013] The fluidized reduction reactor is a pulse riser reactor, riser conveying bed, bubbling fluidized bed or turbulent fluidized bed. The reduction magnetization reaction temperature is 700-1300℃. The purity of the refined iron ore powder from magnetic separation is 40%-95%. The magnetic separation residue is used as a raw material for soil remediation agents, road materials or building ceramic materials.
[0014] The upper part of the Y-type fluidized bed gasification reduction blast furnace is a cylindrical gasification section, and the lower part is a cylindrical settling separator. The gasification section and settling separator have an inverted T-shaped structure. The gasification section adopts a water-cooled refractory lining layer, and the top is equipped with a downward spray nozzle. There are more than three side nozzles along the circumference in the upper middle part, and the nozzles are distributed in an inverted Y-shaped structure. The side nozzles have an angle of -15° to 15° with the horizontal direction and an angle of -5° to 75° with the radial direction. The settling separator adopts a heat-insulating lining and has a slag outlet, a siphon-type molten iron outlet, and an emergency treatment port at the bottom. The emergency treatment port at the bottom of the settling separator ensures venting in case of shutdown or emergency.
[0015] The operation of the Y-type fluidized bed gasification reduction blast furnace involves uniformly mixing fine iron ore powder and pulverized coal at a C:Fe2O3 ratio of 1:1.1-4.0 and feeding the mixture into a mixing bin. The iron-coal mixture from the mixing bin, along with the gasifying agent, is injected into the gasification section through the top nozzle and radially inclined side nozzles of the Y-type fluidized bed gasification reduction blast furnace, where gasification and reduction occur at a temperature of 1300-1700℃. Multiple jets generated by the top and side nozzles collide with each other at the center of the furnace, forming a Y-shaped rotating impact high-temperature reaction zone, mutually igniting and enhancing the gasification and reduction reaction. Iron coke residue is thrown against the furnace wall of the gasification section, swirling downwards. The iron coke residue remains in the gasification section during the reaction... The time interval is extended by more than 10 times, and a solidified slag layer is formed on the surface of the refractory layer of the water-cooled wall in the gasification section, realizing slag resistance with slag; the ironmaking tail gas, high-temperature molten iron and slag flow to the settling separator through the outlet in the center of the conical head of the gasification section. The residual iron ore powder and carbon powder are kept warm and further undergo a reduction reaction. The reduced ironmaking tail gas at 1300-1700℃ is discharged from the top side of the settling separator and is drawn into the fluidized reduction reactor for high-iron red mud reduction magnetization; after the high-temperature molten iron and slag settle and separate, the slag is discharged through the slag outlet, and the high-temperature molten iron is discharged through the siphon-type molten iron outlet, which can maintain a stable molten iron-slag interface height.

The time is extended by more than 20 times, and a solidified slag layer is formed on the surface of the refractory layer of the water-cooled wall in the gasification section, realizing slag resistance with slag; the ironmaking tail gas, high-temperature molten iron and slag flow to the settling separator through the outlet in the center of the conical head of the gasification section. The residual iron ore powder and carbon powder are kept warm and further undergo a reduction reaction. The ironmaking tail gas at 1300-1700℃ is discharged from the top side of the settling separator and is drawn into the fluidized reduction reactor for high-iron red mud reduction magnetization; after the high-temperature molten iron and slag settle and separate, the slag is discharged through the slag outlet, and the high-temperature molten iron is discharged through the siphon-type iron outlet and can maintain a stable iron-slag interface height.
