Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal smelting, and in particular relates to a method for regenerating Fe-containing aluminum alloy waste while preserving its grade. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace, transportation and other fields due to their low density, excellent mechanical properties, easy processing and good corrosion resistance. Recycled aluminum has become an important trend in the development of the industry due to its significant advantages such as energy saving and environmental protection. In the recycling process of aluminum alloys, the content of impurity elements is easy to exceed the standard and it is difficult to remove, which often leads to the alloy being downgraded after recycling, resulting in waste of resources. Fe is one of the main impurity elements in aluminum alloy waste. Excessive Fe content often leads to the appearance of coarse intermetallic compounds, which seriously reduces the mechanical properties and service performance of the alloy. Therefore, reducing the Fe content in aluminum alloys is of great significance to the high-quality recycling of aluminum alloy waste.

[0003] Converting Fe elements into Fe-containing compounds and separating the Fe-containing compounds is an important method for reducing the Fe content of aluminum alloys. Chinese invention patent CN 111254303 B discloses a method for improving the morphology of iron-rich phases and reducing iron in recycled aluminum. This method adds a certain amount of Mn element to recycled Al-Si alloy waste to obtain an iron-rich phase, and separates the iron-rich phase by gravity sedimentation to reduce the Fe content in the alloy. However, due to the long time required for gravity sedimentation and the influence of factors such as the size of Fe-containing compounds and the formation temperature, the sedimentation separation efficiency is low. And this method only has a certain Fe-reducing effect on alloy waste with a high Fe content (>0.9wt.%). Chinese invention patent CN 116162801 A discloses a method for removing iron from recycled aluminum using a gradient magnetic field. This method uses the difference in the gradient magnetic field force exerted on the recycled aluminum melt and the iron-rich phase to control the directional migration of the iron-rich phase away from the solidification interface, thereby achieving the removal of Fe elements in recycled aluminum. However, for small Fe-containing compounds, the separation efficiency is low, and due to equipment conditions, this method is difficult to continuously and large-scale aluminum melt processing and cannot be industrialized. Chinese invention patent CN 114849266A discloses an ultra-gravity centrifugal separator with improved separation efficiency, which uses the gravity acceleration generated by the high-speed rotation of the equipment to separate the distilled liquid, significantly improving the separation efficiency.

[0004] Gravity sedimentation separation of Fe-containing compounds takes a long time, and the separation efficiency of Fe-containing compounds with small size is low, and the separation efficiency of Fe element is low. The electromagnetic separation method cannot operate continuously and process large quantities of waste, and it is difficult to apply it industrially. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method to achieve grade-preserving regeneration of aluminum alloy scrap by reducing the Fe content. Summary of the invention
