Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of alumina production, and in particular to a device and method for degrading organic impurities in a sodium aluminate solution by using ozone nanobubbles coupled with ultrasonic cyclones. Background Art

[0002] The aluminum industry and electrolytic aluminum production play a decisive role in the demand for alumina. Bauxite, the primary raw material for aluminum production, undergoes intermediate refining in the Bayer process to produce alumina, which is then electrolytically produced into primary aluminum. Currently, over 95% of global Al2O3 production is produced using the Bayer process. During this process, large amounts of organic matter are introduced from bauxite and other flocculants and additives. These organic matter accumulates during the Bayer process, leading to reduced alumina product quality, finer particle size, and low current efficiency.

[0003] Traditional processes for degrading organic impurities in sodium aluminate solution mainly include bauxite roasting, mother liquor roasting, adsorption, crystallization, lime causticization, and wet oxidation. Among them, the roasting method has high energy consumption and production application costs; the adsorption method can only remove certain specific organic matter and reduce the critical concentration of sodium oxalate, but has no removal effect on sodium oxalate itself; the crystallization method is only suitable for sodium oxalate removal; the lime causticization method usually causes the loss of aluminum oxide and is therefore less used; the wet oxidation method has the advantages of clean products, less aluminum loss, and efficient reduction of organic impurity concentrations. For example, Chinese patent documents CN114832411A, CN113428883A, CN106044811A and foreign patents Patents such as US4668486A have successively proposed strategies for removing organic impurities from sodium aluminate solution by wet oxidation, which usually uses air or oxygen as an oxidant in the liquid phase under high temperature (150-350°C) and high pressure (5-20MPa) operating conditions. For example, Chinese patent document CN108046301A relates to a method for synchronous oxidation to eliminate sulfur and organic matter in bauxite slurry. The heated slurry and high-pressure oxygen are introduced into a tubular reactor for oxidation reaction. The S in the slurry liquid phase is 2- After oxidation of the organic matter, the slurry exiting the tubular reactor enters the Bayer process's holding tank, autoclave, or self-evaporator. However, existing wet oxidation processes suffer from harsh reaction conditions (high temperature and high pressure), the presence of non-condensable gases (such as hydrogen) in the reaction products, which can easily cause explosions and pose serious safety risks. Therefore, a low-temperature, atmospheric-pressure oxidation method is needed to degrade organic impurities in sodium aluminate solutions.

[0004] Ozone oxidation, as a typical low-temperature, atmospheric-pressure oxidation technology, has significant application prospects for the degradation of organic impurities in sodium aluminate solutions. However, there is currently very little research in this field. Miguel Antonio Soplin Pastor and others from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, investigated the effects of ozone systems and ozone-hydrogen peroxide combined systems on the removal of organic matter from Bayer liquor. Because they only used micron ozone bubbles, the highest organic carbon removal rate was only 19%. Due to the rapid disappearance of the internal gas, micron ozone bubbles easily burst in water; due to their large specific surface area, micron ozone bubbles quickly escape the liquid surface and have a short residence time, resulting in a small contact area between them and the target organic matter and low mass transfer efficiency.

[0005] It can be seen that the current wet oxidation process faces technical bottlenecks such as harsh reaction conditions (high temperature and high pressure), non-condensable gases (such as hydrogen) in the reaction products that are prone to explosion, serious safety hazards, short residence time of micron ozone bubbles and low mass transfer efficiency. Providing a new method for degrading organic impurities in sodium aluminate solution is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0117]

[0118] The above experiments demonstrate that the use of the present invention (ultrasound-enhanced ozone nanobubble system) to degrade key organic impurities in sodium aluminate solution significantly improves organic degradation, making the purified sodium aluminate solution more suitable for alumina production systems. This invention reduces the cost and improves the efficiency of degradation, making it easier to commercialize.

[0119] It should be noted that the principle of the present invention can be analyzed from the following four aspects:

[0120] (1) Power ultrasound technology, which is hailed as "industrial MSG" by the American industry, is a high-tech technology based on multiple disciplines such as physics, mechanical vibration, and materials. When ultrasound acts on a solution, it will produce ① a perturbation effect, that is, the action of ultrasound causes the molecules and ions in the solution to deviate from their original state, increase the probability of collision, and have a certain impact on the dynamic equilibrium of the solution; ② a turbulent effect, that is, the disturbance caused by the cavitation bubbles generated by ultrasound to the solution after they break, accelerating the irregular movement and collision of particles in the solution; ③ an interfacial effect, that is, the changes in the solution caused by the accumulation of bubbles in the solution, which can destroy the outer layer of mineral particles, form cavities, accelerate the migration and transformation of substances, and increase the metal leaching rate; ④ an energy-gathering effect, that is, the generation of a high-pressure impact flow in the solution that can break the intermolecular force, change the metastable state generated by hydrogen bonds, reduce the connection of ions in the system, and accelerate the mass transfer process. In particular, the cavitation effect generated by ultrasound forms a local high-temperature and high-pressure environment in the reaction system, accelerating the reaction rate. The solution is strongly agitated, significantly reducing the diffusion resistance of the solute, and improving the mass transfer efficiency. Therefore, the physicochemical effects of ultrasound can change the physicochemical properties of the treated medium, improve the chemical reaction conditions, and accelerate the chemical reaction rate, thereby achieving efficient degradation of key organic impurities in sodium aluminate solution.

[0121] (2) The advantages of ozone nanobubble technology are as follows: ① Due to its small size, the speed at which nanobubbles rise in the solution due to buoyancy is almost zero, so they can exist in the liquid phase for an extremely long time, effectively extending the half-life of ozone in the liquid phase, making the use of ozone more economical and environmentally friendly; ② Due to the small diameter and size of nanobubbles, the surface tension at the gas-liquid interface is relatively large, which produces pressure on the gas inside the bubble and compresses it. The increase in pressure inside the bubble causes the gas inside the bubble to continuously pass through the gas-liquid interface and dissolve into the water. This self-pressurization performance of the nanobubble during the contraction process significantly enhances the mass transfer efficiency at the gas-liquid interface; ③ Negatively charged ions are adsorbed on the surface of the nanobubble, first forming a surface charge ion layer, and then a positively charged counter-charge ion layer is adsorbed around the surface charge ions, generating a potential difference often expressed as Zeta potential. Due to their extremely small diameter, nanobubbles have a significantly higher zeta potential than microbubbles, resulting in a high adsorption capacity for charged particles in water. ④ Nanobubble technology can suppress the negative effects of temperature and pH on ozonation efficiency, maintaining a high ozone solubility even at elevated temperatures and decreasing pH. ⑤ Nanobubbles gradually shrink until they burst, at which point the gas-liquid interface disappears, causing drastic changes. The energy stored in the high-concentration positive and negative ion layers accumulated on the surface is instantly released, prompting the decomposition of H2O under the extreme conditions of local high temperature and high pressure, generating and stimulating a large number of highly oxidizing active free radicals, thereby achieving efficient degradation of organic impurities.

[0122] (3) The advantages of the swirl mixing reactor are as follows: the swirl blades 3 attached to the tank wall, the swirl channels 4 etched on the tank wall, and the nanopores 5 evenly arranged on the surface of the swirl channels 4 and the swirl blades 3 can significantly increase the turbulent vortex in the impact zone, enhance the turbulence intensity and radial pressure gradient, and thus effectively accelerate the mixing efficiency and reaction rate between ozone nanobubbles and organic matter in the sodium aluminate solution.

[0123] (4) Currently, the average cost of degrading one ton of organic carbon in the alumina industry is approximately RMB 30,000. The average cost of degrading one ton of organic carbon in sodium aluminate solution using micron bubble ozone oxidation technology is approximately RMB 29,400, while the average cost of degrading one ton of organic carbon in sodium aluminate solution using ultrasonically enhanced ozone nanobubble technology is approximately RMB 15,300. In summary, the large-scale use of this device in the alumina industry is expected to reduce energy consumption by approximately 49%.

[0124] The present invention, based on the cavitation effect and mechanical effect, uses an ultrasonic external field to enhance the ozone nanobubble strategy, solving the technical bottlenecks faced by the current wet oxidation process, such as high temperature and high pressure, the explosion of non-condensable gases (such as hydrogen) in the product, serious safety hazards, the short residence time of micron bubbles, and low mass transfer efficiency. Through the ultrasound-assisted nanobubble technology, various indicators can be significantly improved, such as extending the ozone bubble lifetime by 960 times, increasing the ozone bubble density by 120 times, reducing the ozone bubble diameter by 210 times, increasing the ozone bubble solubility by 26 times, increasing the ozone bubble Zeta potential by 4 times, increasing the ozone bubble volume mass transfer coefficient by 18 times, and ultimately increasing the organic matter oxidation rate by 3 times. This device is expected to economically eliminate the negative impact of organic matter on alumina production, solve the problems of low removal rate or high cost of traditional processes, enrich my country's bauxite resources and fully utilize high-quality bauxite from abroad, and provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the high-value utilization and sustainable development of the alumina industry.

[0125] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
