Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of phosphogypsum treatment, especially to the field of phosphogypsum recycling and reuse, and also discloses a method for preparing phosphogypsum sintered ceramsite for water treatment filter media. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphogypsum mainly comes in two colors: grayish-black and grayish-white. The particle diameter is generally 5–50 μm, and the water of crystallization content is 20%–25%. Phosphogypsum is a solid waste generated in the wet-process phosphoric acid production process, and its main component is calcium sulfate dihydrate. The composition of phosphogypsum is relatively complex, containing not only calcium sulfate but also incompletely decomposed phosphate rock, residual phosphoric acid, fluorides, acid-insoluble substances, and organic matter. The presence of fluorine and organic matter has the greatest impact on the resource utilization of phosphogypsum.

[0003] Buildings are a major energy consumer, accounting for 30% of total social energy consumption, ranking alongside industry and transportation as one of the three major energy consumers. There is considerable research on the use of phosphogypsum in non-sintered ceramsite. However, sintered ceramsite is a previously unexplored area for the application of phosphogypsum. Research on sintered phosphogypsum ceramsite will fill this gap in the resource utilization of phosphogypsum, striving to increase its consumption and resource utilization.

[0004] Due to its unique properties, phosphogypsum is generally used as a building material in practical applications, produced as gypsum blocks or phosphogypsum-based non-sintered ceramsite. Research on the production of sintered ceramsite from phosphogypsum is relatively limited. One study found that a sludge:phosphogypsum ratio of 1:4, sintered at 1050℃ for 15 minutes, yielded ceramsite with a bulk density of 685.78 kg / m³, a water absorption rate of 27.34%, and a hydrochloric acid solubility of 11.38%. Further research has focused on the production and modification of sintered ceramsite from phosphogypsum, municipal waste sludge, and red mud for lead ion adsorption.

[0005] Research on phosphogypsum sintered ceramsite is limited. The main component of phosphogypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate, which also includes some fluorine, phosphorus, and organic matter. This differs significantly from the components required for sintered ceramsite. Therefore, fly ash and clay, as key materials for sintered ceramsite, have been extensively studied, with complete systems and mechanisms established. Graphite tailings contain the basic components of sintered ceramsite, making them a suitable raw material to be combined with phosphogypsum in the production of sintered ceramsite. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide sintered phosphogypsum ceramsite for water treatment filter media and its preparation method. By adding other materials, the basic configuration of the ceramsite is achieved. The addition of manufactured sand slurry and graphite tailings aims to consume solid waste and better fix phosphorus and fluorine in the ceramsite. Firstly, phosphogypsum undergoes a calcination process to remove impurities. At 800℃, eutectic phosphorus can be converted into inert pyrophosphate. Of course, organic matter is also removed at high temperatures. However, neither phosphorus nor fluorine can be completely removed. This invention focuses on fixing phosphorus and fluorine, not removal or purification. The presence of fluorine and phosphorus mainly affects the hydration reaction of phosphogypsum as a cementing material, but in this method of sintering ceramsite, the impact of fluorine and phosphorus on the ceramsite is minimal. This invention also provides a method for the resource utilization of phosphogypsum.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A sintered phosphogypsum ceramsite for water treatment filter media comprises the following raw materials in parts: 35-45 parts phosphogypsum that has passed through a 100-mesh sieve, 20-23 parts manufactured sand slurry, 20-25 parts graphite tailings, 8-12 parts sludge incineration residue, 5-7 parts clay, 5-7 parts pore-forming agent, and 20-25 parts water.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the following components are included in parts: phosphogypsum powder: 35 parts; manufactured sand slurry: 23 parts; graphite tailings: 25 parts; sludge incineration residue: 10 parts; clay: 7 parts; plus 5 parts of pore-forming agent and 25 parts of water.

[0010] The phosphogypsum powder is obtained by crushing undisturbed phosphogypsum through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0011] The manufactured sand slurry is the slurry left after washing manufactured sand. The slurry blocks are dried, crushed, and passed through a 100-200 mesh sieve before being put into use.

[0012] The graphite tailings mentioned are a large amount of solid waste generated during graphite mining. Because the required substances are below the minimum extraction content, they are no longer valuable. The tailings are crushed, dried, and passed through a 100-mesh sieve for later use. The graphite tailings are obtained by crushing and passing through a 100-200 mesh sieve. The composition of the graphite tailings is 54%-58% SiO2, 25%-28% Al2O3, 6%-8% Fe2O3, and 4%-6% K2O.

[0013] The pore-forming agent is a ceramic polishing slurry, dried sludge powder, peptone, and starch. It is composed of 30-35 parts ceramic polishing slurry, 25-30 parts dried sludge powder, 15-20 parts peptone, and 20-25 parts starch.

[0014] The method for preparing phosphogypsum sintered ceramsite for water treatment filter media includes the following steps:

[0015] (1) Add phosphogypsum, manufactured sand slurry, graphite tailings, sludge incineration residue, clay, pore-forming agent, and water to a mixer in sequence according to the proportion, and mix the materials thoroughly. (2) Granulate the mixture to obtain raw material pellets (in the conventional method in this field, the mixture is placed in a disc granulator, the disc granulator is started, and water is poured evenly into the granulator for granulation). (3) Place the raw material pellets in an oven to dry at a temperature of 50°C. After drying, place them in a sintering furnace for heating. The preheating temperature is 300°C to 500°C, and the preheating time is maintained for 30 to 60 minutes. Then, continue to heat the mixture at a uniform rate to 1120°C to 1150°C, maintain the temperature for 15 minutes, and the heating rate is 3-8°C / minute. Sinter the raw material pellets. After sintering, wait for cooling and then take them out to obtain phosphogypsum sintered ceramsite for water treatment filter media.

[0016] Phosphogypsum contains over 85% calcium sulfate, as well as fluorine, phosphorus, and some organic matter. This organic matter decomposes at high temperatures. The complete decomposition temperature of pure calcium sulfate is 1350℃ to 1400℃. The presence of impurities lowers the decomposition temperature, leading to premature SO2 release. Therefore, it is crucial to select an appropriate sintering temperature for the ceramsite and to implement effective exhaust gas treatment.

[0017] The decomposition formula for pure calcium sulfate:

[0018] 2CaSO4=2CaO+2SO2+O2, 1350℃-1400℃

[0019] In the presence of carbon, the decomposition temperature of calcium sulfate is lowered. The decomposition process is as follows:

[0020] CaSO4 + 2C = CaS + 2CO2

[0021] CaS + 3CaSO4 = 4CaO + 4SO2

[0022] 2CaSO4 + C = 2CaO + CO2

[0023] In sintered phosphogypsum ceramsite, because phosphogypsum contains a certain amount of organic matter, calcium sulfate will partially decompose at the temperatures used in this technology, such as 1120℃~1150℃. The decomposition temperature of calcium sulfate is 1000℃, which is incomplete. The complete decomposition process requires 1350℃-1400℃ to achieve complete decomposition, thereby generating calcium oxide.

[0024] Calcium sulfate, a major component of phosphogypsum, is also present in sintered phosphogypsum ceramsite, playing a dominant role. Combined with other substances including silica, the solid-state sintering at high temperatures results in high bonding strength. However, the presence of impurities creates internal voids, reducing the bulk density of the ceramsite.

[0025] Fixation reduces the leaching toxicity of phosphorus (F) and phosphorus (P). High temperature only converts eutectic phosphorus into inert pyrophosphate and removes organic matter. The main fixation effect is the liquid-phase encapsulation at high temperature, which reduces the contact between the internal material and water.

[0026] Functions: Except for calcium sulfate, the other substances are the main components of sintered ceramsite. At high temperatures, a liquid phase is generated to encapsulate the ceramsite, and the high-temperature decomposition of organic matter leads to the formation of micropores. Upon further heating, the liquid phase in these micropores continues to expand. Silicon mainly serves a supporting role, enhancing compressive strength, while aluminum and iron mainly generate a liquid phase, creating pores within the ceramsite.

[0027] Undecomposed calcium sulfate and other substances exist in the interlayer, sandwiched between two layers of glaze. The glaze is formed by the solidification of a high-temperature liquid phase at a low temperature. It is hydrophobic, which reduces the contact between the internal substances and water, thus reducing the risk of pollutant release.

[0028] This technical solution has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] (1) The raw material used in this invention is solid waste. By combining the components through waste utilization, it is more environmentally friendly and low-cost, thus realizing the effective utilization of resources.

[0030] (2) The water treatment filter material prepared by the present invention uses phosphogypsum sintered ceramsite. If there is too much phosphogypsum, a liquid phase cannot be generated, and the coating effect cannot be achieved. This will result in low strength and high water absorption of the ceramsite. The less phosphogypsum, the more the ceramsite conforms to traditional ceramsite, with higher strength and lower water absorption. Reasonable incorporation of phosphogypsum can achieve the desired effect while also consuming the phosphogypsum.

[0031] A proper formulation involves removing phosphogypsum, and ensuring that the composition of other substances conforms to the Riley ternary phase diagram. Riley proposed a well-known ternary phase diagram for preparing ceramsite with good sintering properties. Specifically, when preparing ceramsite with good sintering properties from clay materials, the basic chemical composition of the raw materials is characterized by 40%-70% SiO2, 10%-25% Al2O3, and 8%-25% Fe2O3. Besides phosphogypsum, manufactured sand slurry, sludge incineration residue, graphite tailings, and clay all have relatively high silicon, aluminum, and iron content, falling within the range suitable for producing sintered ceramsite with good properties. However, the addition of phosphogypsum disrupts the range of the Riley ternary phase diagram, making it unsuitable for sintering high-performance ceramsite. Therefore, a pore-forming agent is added to improve the sintering conditions of the ceramsite and achieve the desired effect.

[0032] (3) By adjusting the raw materials, sintering lightweight ceramic particles at high temperature achieves the effect of purifying organic impurities in phosphogypsum, and the leaching of heavy metal toxicity is lower than the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard". The organic impurities are oxidized and decomposed at high temperature, thus the organic impurities are decomposed by high temperature. The low leaching of heavy metal toxicity is due to the fixation effect; the aluminum-iron materials generate a liquid phase at high temperature to encapsulate the ceramic particles, achieving the effect of fixing heavy metals, not purification. Therefore, this type of ceramic particle can be used as a wastewater filtration material, not a wastewater purification material. Its own toxicity leaching is low, and no other heavy metals or pollutants will enter the wastewater. In addition, the raw materials do not contain a large amount of heavy metals, and there is no heavy metal industrial waste residue. Therefore, the high-temperature sintering liquid phase encapsulation reduces toxicity leaching.

[0033] (4) The processing method provided by the present invention is simple and reasonably reduces the sintering steps, so that operators can easily carry out the preparation of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The physicochemical properties of each raw material, such as:

[0041] Table 1. Chemical composition analysis (wt%) of the raw materials used.

[0042]

[0043] The chemical composition analysis of the various substances above shows that the main component of phosphogypsum is calcium sulfate, while silicon, aluminum, and iron (Si, A, F) are relatively scarce, resulting in sintered ceramsite composed entirely of phosphogypsum lacking strength. Traditional Si, A, F sintered ceramsite generates a liquid phase at high temperatures, producing internal gas and causing expansion. However, with the addition of phosphogypsum, calcium sulfate is added instead of traditional Si, A, F ceramsite. Nevertheless, the Si, A, F still plays a role at high temperatures, acting as an additive to promote the generation of liquid-phase gas. Undecomposed calcium sulfate is encapsulated between the two liquid phases, reducing the toxic leaching of phosphorus and fluorine.

[0044] Key condition: The amount of phosphogypsum should not be too large. That is, after removing the phosphogypsum, the remaining silicon-aluminum-iron material composition should conform to the actual traditional sintered ceramsite. In order to enhance the formation of pores and liquid phase in the ceramsite at high temperatures, a certain amount of pore-forming agent is added to promote the formation of pores and liquid phase, thereby achieving the desired technical effect.

Then, the temperature is increased to 1120℃ at a constant rate and maintained for 15 minutes. The heating rate is 8℃ / minute. The raw material pellets are sintered. After sintering and cooling, they are taken out to obtain phosphogypsum sintered ceramsite for water treatment filter media.

[0072] The operation is the same as in Example 1, except that 5 parts of pore-forming agent are not added. Without the addition of pore-forming agent, a liquid phase cannot be generated, resulting in an excessively high breakage rate, making it unsuitable for use as water treatment filter media.
