Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of fly ash resources, and in particular to a method for preparing alumina from fly ash, alumina and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] The industrial production of alumina from fly ash is mainly based on the traditional alkaline process. However, due to the low aluminum-silicon ratio in fly ash, a large amount of silicon dioxide will be dissolved under alkaline conditions, which makes it difficult to separate silicon and aluminum, and there are problems such as high production costs and large slag volume. With the advancement of modern material technology, the process of extracting alumina from fly ash using the acid method has gradually emerged, thus opening up a new path for extracting alumina from fly ash. At the same time, the diversified development of alumina products has also become a research focus of researchers.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number: CN111320461A (publication date 2020-06-23) discloses a method for preparing alumina for plate-shaped corundum. The patent discloses that industrial alumina is kept in a hot field at 400 to 1000°C for 30 to 240 minutes, so that the industrial alumina is in the transition phase γ-Al 2 O 3 The specific surface area in the state is reduced by 10 to 30%. The plate-shaped corundum prepared by the present invention has a large density and can meet the requirements of high-density plate-shaped corundum. However, the alumina is prepared by the industrial alkali method, which is different from the physical and chemical properties of alumina prepared by the acid method, the particle size is relatively large, and the properties of the prepared products are completely different. Chinese patent application number: CN101618961B discloses a lightweight thermal insulation refractory product of alumina and a preparation method thereof. The invention adopts a corundum material and a method prepared by waste active alumina. The raw materials in the present invention are composed of waste active alumina. The raw materials used in the invention are not only conducive to waste utilization and solve the serious pollution of waste active alumina to the environment, but also the products produced have high added value and pollution-free high-quality refractory materials, saving production costs. However, the alumina has the disadvantages of complex preparation process and high cost.

[0020] As described in the background of the present invention, the alumina prepared by using fly ash in the prior art has the problems of low purity, large particle size, or low content of α-alumina. The present invention provides a method for producing alumina from fly ash, such as Figure 1 As shown, the preparation method comprises: step S1, taking fly ash and carrying out acid dissolution, crystallization and first roasting in sequence to obtain a crude alumina solid; step S2, taking the crude alumina solid and carrying out hydrothermal reaction, and then carrying out alkali dissolution, carbonization and second roasting in sequence to obtain alumina. The pH value of the carbonized material after carbonization treatment is 9.0-11.0, and the composition of the fly ash is as follows by weight percentage: 30-60wt% SiO 2 , 45-60wt% Al 2 O 3 , 2-8wt% CaO, 2-5wt% MgO, 2-6wt% Fe 2 O 3 , 1-2wt% TiO 2 and 1-5wt% LOI (loss on ignition).

[0021] It should be noted that the fly ash raw material used in the present invention can also be selected from one or more of kaolin, coal gangue, low-grade bauxite and clay ore. Among them, the composition of kaolin is as follows, calculated by weight percentage: 30-50wt% SiO 2 , 30-40wt% Al 2 O 3 , 0.1-1.0wt% CaO, 0.1-1.0wt% MgO, 0.1-2.0wt% Fe 2 O 3 , 0.1~1.0wt% TiO 2 and 10-25wt% LOI, the composition of coal gangue is as follows: 20-40wt% SiO 2 20-40wt% Al 2 O 3 , 0.1-1.0wt% CaO, 0-1wt% MgO, 0-2wt% Fe 2 O 3 , 1-2wt% TiO 2 and 20-40wt% LOI.

[0022] The present invention uses fly ash containing the above-mentioned components as raw material to prepare alumina, especially the fly ash has a relatively high silicon-aluminum ratio, thereby overcoming the problem that when alumina is produced from fly ash by the traditional alkaline method in the prior art, a large amount of silicon dioxide components are dissolved in the alkaline solution due to the relatively low silicon-aluminum ratio, resulting in difficulty in separating silicon and aluminum. The specific preparation steps in the present invention are: first, fly ash is taken and acid-dissolved, crystallized and first calcined in sequence, wherein the silicon and aluminum in the fly ash are completely separated by acid-dissolving treatment, avoiding the doping of silicon oxide impurities in alumina, while also reducing the number of processes, improving efficiency, and further improving the purity of alumina and the content of α-alumina. The acid-dissolved material is further crystallized to improve the purity of the target product, and the crystallization step is simple and easy to operate, and the crystallized product is further subjected to a first calcination treatment to obtain a crude alumina solid. Then a series of treatments are carried out to purify the above crude alumina solid, specifically including: taking the above crude alumina solid for hydrothermal reaction, during the reaction process, the solubility of the crude alumina increases as the reaction proceeds, and a more stable phase of crude alumina is formed in the supersaturated crude alumina solution. Then alkali dissolution is carried out in sequence, and impurities (such as iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, etc.) are removed during the alkali dissolution process to obtain a metaaluminate solution, and then carbon fractionation is carried out, and carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the solution until the pH value of the carbon fraction material is 9.0-11.0, thereby generating aluminum hydroxide precipitate, and further the above alumina is obtained by a second roasting. The alumina prepared by the present invention has high purity, low impurity content and small particle size, wherein the content of α-alumina is high, thereby providing a new idea for upgrading alumina products to make them high-end and refined, as well as the multi-purpose application of alumina products.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the hydrothermal reaction is carried out in a hydrothermal reactor, so that the solubility of the reaction materials in the hydrothermal reactor increases as the reaction proceeds, thereby making the crude alumina solution supersaturated, thereby precipitating crude alumina with a more stable phase. Further preferably, the solid-liquid ratio of the hydrothermal reaction is 1:(6-10), the reaction temperature is 80-180°C, and the reaction time is 1.5-4.0h, thereby increasing the reaction rate of the hydrothermal reaction, accelerating the reaction, and improving the reaction efficiency.

More preferably, the concentration of the inorganic acid is 20-28%, the acid dissolution treatment temperature is 120-180°C, and the treatment time is 2-4h, so that the inorganic acid can better dissolve the fly ash, and further preferably the weight ratio of fly ash to acid is 1:(4-7).

The crystallization treatment is selected from one or more of salting-out, evaporative crystallization, recrystallization or cooling crystallization, and the salting-out crystallization treatment is more preferred. The salting-out crystallization method can further improve the purity of the precipitated aluminum chloride crystals, and it also has a high precipitation rate, high yield, simple operation, and easy to achieve industrial production. In order to further improve the purity and yield of aluminum chloride, the salting-out agent used in the salting-out crystallization is selected from hydrochloric acid, more preferably hydrochloric acid, and the flow rate of the further preferred salting-out agent is 0.2 to 2.0 L / min, and the crystallization treatment temperature is room temperature.

[0026] In order to further improve the purity of aluminum chloride and the content of α-alumina, after the crystallization treatment and before the first calcination treatment, the crystallized material needs to be separated, preferably the temperature of the first calcination is 250-350°C, and the first calcination time is 2-3h. In order to further promote the complete dissolution of fly ash in inorganic acid, it is preferred that the fly ash needs to be ground before the acid dissolution treatment, and more preferably the grinding particle size D50 is 20-40μm, thereby promoting the separation of silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide in the fly ash.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, aluminum chloride crystals are first calcined to generate aluminum oxide and hydrochloric acid, wherein the generated hydrochloric acid gas can be used as a salting-out agent for salting-out crystallization, and can be directly introduced into the salting-out crystallization process to play the role of a salting-out agent, which can not only save costs and improve resource utilization, but also has a simple process, is easy to operate, is suitable for large-scale production, and has broad industrial application value.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, after the hydrothermal reaction and before the alkaline dissolution treatment, the hydrothermal reaction product needs to be filtered and washed in sequence. Preferably, the filtration treatment is carried out in a plate and frame filter. In order to further improve the purity of the aluminum oxide, it is preferred to use evaporated condensed water 3 to 5 times the mass of the filtered material to wash the filtered material, thereby removing impurities such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride.

[0029] In order to further improve the purity of aluminum chloride and the content of α-alumina therein, the alkali for alkali dissolution treatment is preferably an inorganic alkali, and more preferably the inorganic alkali is selected from one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate. It is further preferred that the concentration of the inorganic alkali is 220-350 g / L, and the temperature of the alkali dissolution treatment is more preferably 200-300° C., and the treatment time is 2-4 h, so that the crude aluminum chloride solid is further alkali-dissolved into a metaaluminate solution, thereby removing impurities contained therein (such as iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese), thereby improving the purity of aluminum chloride.

[0030] In order to promote the formation of aluminum hydroxide, an intermediate product of aluminum oxide, it is preferred to introduce CO into the carbonization process. 2 The flow rate of the carbonization agent is 0.05L / min to 0.2L / min, and the flow rate of the air is 0.1L / min to 0.4L / min; the aluminate solution can be promoted to obtain an aluminum hydroxide intermediate product after carbonization treatment, and further promote the formation of high-purity aluminum oxide. Preferably, after carbonization treatment and before the second roasting treatment, the carbonization material needs to be filtered to prepare for the second roasting. In order to further promote complete alkali dissolution, the weight ratio of aluminum oxide to the inorganic base is preferably 1: (1 to 2).

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the second calcination is preferably 1200-1250°C, and the second calcination time is 2-4h, so as to further promote the production of alumina products from aluminum hydroxide under the second calcination conditions, and improve the purity of alumina and the content of α-alumina. In order to further reduce the particle size of alumina and make it have a more refined application value, it is preferred that grinding treatment (such as sand grinding) is required after the second calcination, and the grinding is more preferably carried out in a grinder. It is further preferred that the grinding time is 1.0-2.0h, and the particle size D50 of the grinding treatment is 60-90nm, and D90 is 120-150nm. In order to further improve the purity of alumina and remove impurities therein, the ground material needs to be spray-dried after the grinding treatment, and the treatment temperature is 260-300°C, so as to further improve the quality of the alumina product.

[0032] Another aspect of the present invention provides an aluminum oxide, which is aluminum oxide prepared by the above preparation method. The aluminum oxide has high purity, low impurity content and small particle size, wherein the content of α-alumina is high, thereby opening up ideas for upgrading aluminum oxide products to make them high-end and refined, and for the multi-purpose application of aluminum oxide products.

[0033] In order to further promote the refinement of alumina products and the multi-purpose application of alumina products, the alumina is preferably in granular form, and more preferably the particle size D50 of the alumina particles is 60-90nm, and D90 is 120-150nm, so that the alumina particle size is smaller and the application field is wider.
