Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep solution purification technology, specifically relating to the deep removal of aluminum and / or silicon from high-alkali, low-aluminum, and low-silicon solutions. Background Technology

[0002] In coal chemical deashing processes, direct alkaline leaching can significantly remove ash from coal, yielding high-purity coal with an ash content of less than 1%. However, the alkaline solution after leaching contains aluminum and silicon components, with Al2O3 and SiO2 concentrations of approximately 3–10 g / L, resulting in a very high caustic ratio (a k (The concentration of alkali ions is >80~100). If the alkali solution is directly returned for recycling deashing, it will severely affect the subsequent alkaline leaching deashing effect. Therefore, before the alkali solution enters the recycling deashing process, it is necessary to deeply remove the silicon and aluminum components from the alkali solution. In addition, a large amount of high caustic ratio alkali solution is generated in the alkaline leaching pre-desiliconization of fly ash and the chemical beneficiation of bauxite. The concentration of silicon and aluminum ions in the alkali solution is relatively low. The recycling of the alkali solution requires deep purification to remove the silicon and aluminum components.

[0003] Extensive research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on desilication of strongly alkaline sodium aluminate solutions. The main methods include dilution and heat preservation desilication, desilication by adding sodium silicate slag, and deep desilication by adding lime. However, these desilication methods treat sodium aluminate solutions with high concentrations of alkali and aluminum, typically Na₂O. k The Al2O3 concentrations were all above 100 g / L, even exceeding 200 g / L, and the caustic ratio a k The concentration is typically between 1.4 and 1.8 g / L, while the SiO2 concentration is between 2 and 5 g / L.

[0004] Diluting and heat preservation for desilication refers to adding red mud washing solution to the sodium aluminate slurry after high-temperature dissolution to adjust the Na2O content. k At medium concentration levels (<150 g / L), sodium silicate slag will precipitate due to the decrease in the equilibrium concentration of SiO2 in the diluted solution after being kept at a certain temperature and stirred for a period of time. Although this method is low in cost, its desiliconization efficiency is low and is limited by the equilibrium concentration of sodium silicate slag. The SiO2 concentration in the solution after dilution and desiliconization usually drops to about 0.5~1 g / L.

[0005] The principle of adding sodium silicate residue for desilication is to avoid the difficulty of the formation of hydrated sodium aluminosilicate (sodium silicate residue) crystal nuclei and increase the crystallization surface area, thus improving the desilication speed and depth. The stability order of different forms of hydrated sodium aluminosilicate (Na2O•Al2O3•xSiO2•nH2O) in sodium aluminate solution is as follows: amorphous < A-type zeolite < sodalite (embedded chloride) < nosean (embedded sulfate) < cancrinite (embedded carbonate). Regarding the mechanism of the seed crystal, it is generally considered to be based on crystallographic principles. At the same time, the seed crystal provides active sites, promoting the precipitation of silicate ions in the supersaturated silica solution, so that the silicon in the solution is transferred from the liquid phase to the solid phase for removal. By using this method, the removal of silicon in sodium aluminate solution under normal pressure can be achieved at a relatively low cost.

[0006] Patent CN101397604A discloses a method for purifying alkali liquor after pre-desilication of bauxite by leaching with high-concentration alkali liquor. In this method, by adding sodium silicate residue or red mud waste residue seeds to the alkali liquor and stirring and crystallizing for 1 - 20 hours, most of the silicon dioxide in the alkali liquor can be removed, so that the alkali liquor can be recycled. Among them, the weight ratio of the seed crystal to the alkali solution is 1~3:10. Before desilication, the Al2O3 content in the solution is 22.6 g / L, and the SiO2 content is 21.5 g / L. After desilication, it can be reduced to 7.5 g / L and 6.5 g / L. This method can recycle the alkali liquor for chemical beneficiation desilication of bauxite, but this method only has a certain removal effect on alkali liquor containing high concentrations of silicon and aluminum.

[0007] In the desilication process of adding lime (lime milk) to sodium aluminate solution, calcium aluminate hydrate is first formed, and at the same time, the silicate ions in the solid solution are dissolved to form hydrogarnet (3CaO•Al2O3•xSiO2•(6 - 2x)H2O). Compared with sodium silicate residue, hydrogarnet has a lower equilibrium solubility and better stability in sodium aluminate solution, and can achieve deep desilication of sodium aluminate solution. Under the condition of deep desilication at 85 - 95 °C, the SiO2 concentration in sodium aluminate solution can be reduced to less than 0.1 g / L, and the silicon modulus can be increased to more than 1000. The formation of hydrogarnet reduces the silicon concentration in the solution, achieving the purpose of deep desilication of sodium aluminate solution. The SiO3 2- entering calcium aluminate hydrate and replacing the OH - ions depends on process conditions such as the microstructure of calcium aluminate hydrate, the concentration of silicon dioxide in the solution, the desilication temperature, and the lime addition amount. With the increase of the lime addition amount, the silicon modulus of the desilicated refined liquor can reach a very high value (even 10000), and the SiO2 concentration can even be reduced to less than 0.01 g / L.

[0008] Patent CN1907857A discloses a method for desilication of circulating mother liquor in the Bayer process. This method involves adding lime slurry to the circulating mother liquor (caustic ratio approximately 3) to induce desilication, causing the silicon in the solution to react with the lime slurry to form a calcium-silicon slag precipitate. Solid-liquid separation is then performed, and the separated alkaline solution is concentrated by evaporation and can be reintroduced into the circulating mother liquor system. The suitable solution has a SiO2 concentration of 0.8–1.6 g / L and an Al2O3 content of approximately 90 g / L. The effective calcium addition amount of the lime slurry is 1–20 g / L. The desilication product is hydrated garnet. This method is effective for desilication of alkaline solutions in alumina processes, but because the formation of hydrated garnet requires specific temperature, time, and silicon-aluminum concentrations in the solution, it is not suitable for purifying alkaline solutions containing low concentrations of silicon and aluminum.

[0009] Patent CN117865195A discloses a method for producing alumina involving calcification leaching and causticization cycling. This method mainly includes high-pressure alkali leaching, carbonation decomposition of the leaching solution, and causticization with quicklime. The leaching alkali solution is carbonated to obtain aluminum hydroxide and a carbonation decomposition solution. The aluminum hydroxide is then calcined to obtain alumina. Quicklime is added to the carbonation decomposition solution for causticization, with the amount added calculated based on a molar ratio of calcium oxide in the quicklime to carbonate ions in the carbonation decomposition solution of 1.1:1. After causticization, a recyclable sodium hydroxide solution is obtained. However, this process involves high pressure, carbonation, and calcination, making it cumbersome and energy-intensive.

[0010] Xu Yingpeng et al. (Reference: Synergistic Desilication Effect of Silica Slag and Lime on Silica-Containing Alkali Solution [J]. Journal of Guizhou University (Natural Science Edition), 2020, 37(03):36-41.) Calcinated silica slag at 600°C and then added 25 g / L to the alkali solution for desilication. The concentration of the silica-containing alkali solution was 106 g / L, the initial SiO2 concentration in the solution was 8 g / L, and the desilication rate was 66.67%. When 25 g / L of calcined silica slag and CaO with a calcium-silicon ratio of 1 were added together, the desilication rate reached 93%, and a synergistic desilication effect between CaO and silica slag was found during the desilication process. The desilication alkali solution can be recycled, but this process only purifies the silicon in the silica-containing alkali solution and has problems such as large lime addition, high energy consumption, and low process efficiency.

[0011] Wang Zhongming et al. (Reference: Hydrothermal Synthesis of Wollastonite from Alkali-Containing Sodium Silicate Solution [J]. Bulletin of the Chinese Ceramic Society, 2017, 36(10):3446-3451.) used a hydrothermal synthesis method to prepare wollastonite from a high-caustic-ratio alkaline solution containing silicon under normal pressure. When the concentration of SiO2 in the silicon-containing alkaline solution was controlled at 40 g / L and the concentration of Al2O3 at 0.98 g / L, under the conditions of a calcium-silicon ratio of 1.0, a temperature of 98℃, and a reaction time of 5 h, the precipitation rate of silicon was over 95%, and the calcined product was wollastonite. However, this process only involves the removal of silicon from the alkaline solution and does not consider the simultaneous removal of silicon and aluminum, so it cannot be used for the purification, regeneration, and recycling of coal deashing alkaline solution.

[0012] In summary, existing alkaline solution purification processes involve numerous different solution systems. Sodium aluminate solution purification in alumina production follows a principle of desiliconization only, involving desiliconization with sodium silicate slag and deep desiliconization with calcium silicate slag. High-alkali concentration silicate solutions can be regenerated and recycled by adding lime, purifying the silicate solution by generating wollastonite, with specific requirements for both silica and aluminum concentrations in the solution. However, alkaline solutions obtained from processes such as deep purification of coal leaching for ultrapure carbon materials, pre-desiliconization of fly ash through alkaline leaching, and chemical beneficiation of bauxite all exhibit characteristics of high alkali, low aluminum, and low silica, with high caustic ratios. These solutions vary significantly in composition and structure due to differences in the equilibrium concentrations of sodium silicate slag and calcium silicate slag in the alkaline solution. Therefore, only a portion of the SiO2 in the solution can be removed, and Al2O3 cannot be simultaneously purified and removed. Consequently, secondary alkaline solutions (containing silica and aluminum) cannot be regenerated and recycled. Therefore, how to remove low levels of silicon and aluminum from high-concentration alkaline solutions to achieve purification and regeneration of the alkaline solution is an urgent technical problem that needs to be solved in the field of alkaline solution purification technology.

[0131] Comparing the contents of aluminum, silicon, and aluminum-silicon components in the purified solutions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, Example 4 and Comparative Example 2, and Example 7 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that: the aluminum removal additive obtained by pretreatment of magnesium compounds with alkaline solution has a better aluminum removal effect than magnesium compounds; the silicon removal additive obtained by pretreatment of calcium compounds with alkaline solution has a better silicon removal effect than calcium compounds; and magnesium and calcium compounds, after alkaline solution pretreatment, can better remove aluminum and silicon from the alkaline solution at a deeper and more simultaneous depth. This is because: by pre-synthesizing magnesium and calcium compounds with high-alkali, low-aluminum, and low-silicon alkaline solutions, aluminum removal additives, silicon removal additives, and aluminum-silicon removal additives are obtained. Under aluminum, silicon, and aluminum-silicon removal conditions, the synthesized additives have an unstable structure, and their internal structure will recombine. The recombination process can form more sites for adsorbing aluminum and silicon in the alkaline solution, which is more effective than directly adding magnesium and calcium compounds, thus achieving deep removal of aluminum and silicon from the solution.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
