Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 4A zeolite production, and in particular to a method for producing 4A zeolite by utilizing coal gangue. Background Art

[0002] 4A zeolite is Na 12 Al 12 Si 12 O 48 27H2O or Na 12 [(AlO2) 12 (SiO2) 12 ]·27H2O is a three-dimensional framework structure compound composed of silicon oxygen and aluminum oxygen tetrahedron, belonging to the cubic crystal system. The center of the unit cell is a hole with a diameter of 1.14A, which is connected by an 8-membered ring and 6 similar holes. The diameter of the free hole formed by this 8-membered ring structure is 4.12A, so it is called 4A zeolite.

[0003] The traditional synthesis methods of 4A zeolite include water glass method, activated clay method, bentonite method, kaolin method and coal gangue method. The water glass method is mature and easy to control, but the cost is high. The activated clay method and bentonite method require the addition of aluminum source, which is costly and the equipment needs to be corrosion-resistant. The gangue method utilizes the characteristic that its aluminum-silicon ratio is consistent with that of 4A zeolite, converts it into reactive metakaolin, and carries out hydrothermal crystallization conversion reaction in caustic soda aqueous solution to make zeolite. However, this process cannot fully extract alumina and silica during the preparation process, and alumina and silica generate sodium aluminosilicate solid during the extraction process, resulting in low utilization rate of gangue, and low yield and poor quality of the obtained 4A zeolite. In addition, since the aluminum-silicon ratio in gangue is not fixed, if the same extraction method is used, it cannot be achieved that the same method is applicable to gangue with any aluminum-silicon ratio, which will not only cause insufficient extraction of the aluminum-silicon ratio, but also cause waste of aluminum and silicon in the gangue. Therefore, different treatment methods are required for gangue with different aluminum-silicon ratios, so as to achieve full utilization of the gangue. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for producing 4A zeolite using coal gangue. With coal gangue as raw material, the method of the present invention can fully extract alumina and silica in the coal gangue, thereby increasing the yield of 4A zeolite, and the obtained 4A zeolite has the advantages of high crystallinity, high whiteness, low impurity content and large cation exchange capacity.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for producing 4A zeolite by using coal gangue, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Using coal gangue, 4A zeolite is obtained through roasting process, conversion process, refinement process, primary extraction process, dissolution process, secondary extraction process, mold adjustment, slurrying, crystallization and drying;

[0007] The coal gangue has an aluminum-silicon ratio of not less than 0.26 and less than 0.65.

[0008] Furthermore, the specific method of the roasting process includes: roasting the ground coal gangue.

[0009] Furthermore, the particle size of the ground coal gangue is not less than 40 meshes.

[0010] Furthermore, the calcination temperature is 800°C-1200°C, and the calcination time is 10min-30min.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific steps of the conversion process include: uniformly mixing the coal gangue after the roasting process and sodium carbonate, and then heating.

[0012] Furthermore, based on mass, the ratio of coal gangue to sodium carbonate after the roasting process is (1:0.5-2.6).

[0013] Furthermore, the heating temperature is 1400° C.-1450° C., and the heating time is 50 min-60 min.

[0014] Furthermore, after the heating is completed, it is also necessary to ensure that the discharge temperature after heating is higher than 1050°C.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific process of the refinement process includes: quenching the product after the conversion process with water, wet grinding the product after water quenching with a dilute sodium hydroxide solution, diluting it to a liquid-solid ratio of (8:1-10:1), and finally performing solid-liquid separation.

[0016] Furthermore, the ratio of the product after the conversion process to the dilute sodium hydroxide solution during water quenching is (1:4-5) by mass.

[0017] The water quenching in the present invention refers to rapidly immersing the molten clinker obtained after the conversion process into a dilute sodium hydroxide solution at high temperature for water quenching treatment to obtain solid fine particles.

[0018] Furthermore, the specific step of wet grinding with dilute sodium hydroxide solution includes: using dilute sodium hydroxide solution as a wet grinding agent, wet grinding the product after water quenching to a particle size between 200 meshes and 400 meshes.

[0019] In the present invention, those skilled in the art may use ball milling or other grinding methods to refine the particle size of the product after water quenching.

[0020] Furthermore, during wet grinding, the mass ratio of the dilute sodium hydroxide solution to the product after water quenching is (3:1-5:1).

[0021] Furthermore, the mass percentage concentration of the dilute sodium hydroxide solution is 3%-5%.

[0022] Furthermore, the preparation method of the dilute sodium hydroxide solution comprises dissolving sodium hydroxide in water.

[0023] Furthermore, the caustic Na2O in the diluted solution K The concentration is not less than 200g / L.

[0024] Furthermore, the diluted solution includes a water-quenched solution and a dilute sodium hydroxide solution.

[0025] In the present invention, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that, although the solution used for dilution is the water-quenched solution and the dilute sodium hydroxide solution, the dilute solution is mainly the dilute sodium hydroxide solution. Generally speaking, there is no strict dosage ratio between the water-quenched solution and the dilute sodium hydroxide solution. As long as the caustic Na2O in the diluted solution can be controlled, K The concentration should not be less than 200g / L.

[0026] Furthermore, during the dilution process, by controlling the caustic Na2O K The concentration of sodium aluminate and sodium silicate can be completely separated, which is beneficial to the mold adjustment and slurry process. During the dilution process, stirring can be used to promote sufficient dilution and separation of sodium aluminate and sodium silicate. As an example, the stirring speed can be 20 rpm-30 rpm.

[0027] Furthermore, the specific method of the one-time extraction process includes: adding the filter residue after the refinement process to a caustic soda solution, removing water from the solution, and obtaining an intermediate product.

[0028] Furthermore, the mass percentage concentration of the caustic soda solution is 45%-50%.

[0029] Furthermore, the caustic soda solution is a sodium hydroxide solution.

[0030] Furthermore, the method for removing water from the solution is specifically: using a heating method, and the heating temperature is 320°C-550°C.

[0031] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the filter residue to the caustic soda solution is (1:2-2.4), calculated as silicon dioxide in the filter residue and calculated as sodium hydroxide in the caustic soda solution.

[0032] Furthermore, the preparation method of the caustic soda solution includes: dissolving sodium hydroxide in water.

[0033] Furthermore, the specific method of the dissolution process includes: dissolving the intermediate product obtained by the primary extraction process in a dilute sodium hydroxide solution with a mass percentage concentration of 3%-5%, and the caustic Na2O in the dissolved solution K The concentration is not less than 250g / L, filter and the filtrate is set aside.

[0034] Furthermore, the secondary extraction process specifically includes: adding the filter residue after filtering in the dissolution process to the caustic soda solution again to obtain a mixed slurry, grinding, heating reaction, diluting with a dilute sodium hydroxide solution with a mass percentage concentration of 3%-5%, filtering, and the filtrate is set aside.

[0035] Furthermore, the mass percentage concentration of sodium hydroxide in the mixed slurry is 26%-34%.

[0036] Furthermore, the particle size of the solid particles in the mixed slurry is ground to be between 200 mesh and 400 mesh.

[0037] Furthermore, the temperature of the heating reaction is 100°C-105°C, and the time of the heating reaction is 3min-5min.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that during dilution, the substance can be made uniform, which is beneficial for secondary extraction. Therefore, stirring can be performed during dilution, and the stirring speed can be 60 rpm-90 rpm.

[0039] Furthermore, after dilution, the mass percentage concentration of sodium hydroxide in the solution is 14%-18%.

[0040] Furthermore, the specific method for adjusting the mold includes: combining the filtrate after the refinement process, the filtrate after the dissolution process, and the filtrate after the secondary extraction, adding aluminum hydroxide to adjust the mold, and after adding aluminum hydroxide, the molar ratio of alumina to silicon dioxide in the filtrate is (1:1.57-1.62).

[0041] Furthermore, stirring is required during the mold adjustment process, and the stirring rate is 20 rpm to 30 rpm.

[0042] Furthermore, the specific process of the slurrying includes: adding a directing agent to the adjusted solution for mixing; during mixing, controlling the stirring speed to 60 rpm-120 rpm and the temperature to 60°C-80°C; after the mixing is completed, controlling the stirring speed to 60 rpm-120 rpm and the stirring time to 20min-30min.

[0043] Furthermore, the guiding agent is prepared with four substances: aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and water. When preparing the guiding agent, the aluminum hydroxide is calculated as alumina, the sodium hydroxide is calculated as silicon dioxide, and the ratio of aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and water is (1:15:19-20:300-350) by mass.

[0044] In the present invention, the guiding agent is prepared from four substances, aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and water, to form a 4A zeolite seed solution. The amount of seeds in the 4A zeolite seed solution is calculated and determined based on 1%-3% of the designed 4A zeolite output. After determining the amount of seeds in the 4A zeolite seed solution, the ratio of aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and water is (1:15:19-20:300-350) according to the weight of aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and water, and the specific amount of raw materials aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and water when preparing the guiding agent can be determined.

[0045] Furthermore, the preparation process of the directing agent includes: controlling the temperature of the solution after mixing aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and water to 45°C-65°C, continuously stirring for 20min-30min at a stirring speed of 60 rpm-90 rpm, and then letting the solution stand for 24h-48h. The directing agent after standing is used for slurrying within 30min-60min.

[0046] Furthermore, the specific process of the crystallization includes: heating the slurried solution.

[0047] Furthermore, the heating temperature is 90° C.-98° C., the heating time is 1 h-3 h, stirring is performed during the heating process, and the stirring speed is 20 rpm-30 rpm.

[0048] Furthermore, the specific process of the drying includes: washing and drying the crystallized solid to obtain 4A zeolite.

[0049] Furthermore, the drying temperature is 95°C-105°C.

[0050] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the washing process is to remove the impurity ions adsorbed on the surface and in the crystal lattice of 4A zeolite, and to improve the ion adsorption and exchange capacity of the 4A zeolite product. Therefore, it is necessary to use deionized water for washing, and then dry to remove the adsorbed water. The selection of the drying temperature in the present invention is based on the stability of the product structure to achieve the effect of removing the adsorbed water.

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention have the following technical effects:

[0052] 1. In the method of the present invention, the coal gangue is first activated by a roasting process, which can not only decompose the alumina and silica present in the coal gangue in the form of coal-based kaolin into free alumina and silica, but also facilitate the full conversion of alumina and silica in the coal gangue during the conversion process; the roasting process can also remove organic matter such as combustible carbon and humic acid in the coal gangue, which helps to improve the whiteness and quality of the 4A zeolite obtained after crystallization;

[0053] The product after the conversion process is subjected to a refinement process. In the refinement process, the product after the conversion process is water quenched, which is conducive to the product being broken into fine particles under the action of surface tension, which not only paves the way for sufficient wet grinding, but also increases the specific surface area of ​​the particles, thereby facilitating the decomposition of sodium aluminosilicate and a primary extraction process during the wet grinding process;

[0054] Adding a dilute sodium hydroxide solution during wet grinding can, on the one hand, assist wet grinding and promote the decomposition of water-insoluble sodium aluminosilicate generated by alumina and silica in the conversion process, thereby facilitating the full separation of silica and alumina in the gangue; on the other hand, it can reduce the amount of sodium aluminosilicate residue in the filter residue after solid-liquid separation, thereby reducing the processing cost of the subsequent primary extraction process;

[0055] In order to fully extract alumina and silica from the coal gangue, the filter residue after the refinement process needs to be processed by a primary extraction process and a secondary extraction process. During the primary extraction process, the concentration of the caustic soda solution is controlled so that all the sodium aluminosilicate remaining in the filter residue is decomposed. The mutual cooperation of the primary extraction process and the secondary extraction process is conducive to improving the extraction rate of alumina and silica from the raw material coal gangue, increasing the output of 4A zeolite, and improving the economic efficiency of the utilization of coal gangue raw materials.

[0056] During the dissolution process, the caustic Na2O K The concentration can improve the reaction kinetics of sodium hydroxide, prevent the regeneration of sodium aluminosilicate, and is conducive to the maximum extraction of alumina and silicon dioxide, thereby increasing the yield of 4A zeolite;

[0057] During the mold adjustment process, aluminum hydroxide is added as a mold adjustment agent. On the one hand, it is to adjust the concentration of aluminum oxide so that the chemical composition ratio of aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide meets the composition of 4A zeolite, thereby laying the foundation for the formation of 4A zeolite; on the other hand, aluminum hydroxide, a mold adjustment agent, will also consume part of the sodium hydroxide, reducing the concentration of sodium hydroxide, which is conducive to the atomic arrangement of the formed crystals in the direction of the 4A zeolite crystal structure, thereby ensuring the quality of 4A zeolite;

[0058] During the slurrying process, the directing agent of the present invention is prepared and used immediately, which is beneficial to further promote the atomic arrangement of the generated crystals to grow towards the 4A zeolite crystal structure;

[0059] Finally, through crystallization, the 4A zeolite crystals are grown, and finally the 4A zeolite is obtained.

[0060] 2. The method of the present invention is aimed at coal gangue with an Al2O3 mass percentage of 20.20%, an SiO2 mass percentage of 36.54%, and an aluminum-silicon ratio of 0.26<0.55<0.65. The extraction and utilization rate of Al2O3 in the coal gangue raw material of the present invention reaches 92.16%, and the extraction and utilization rate of SiO2 reaches 92.90%; the extracted aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide account for 92.64% of the total amount of aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide in the coal gangue raw material, and account for more than 52% of the total amount of the coal gangue raw material.

[0061] 3. The calcium exchange capacity, whiteness, crystallinity, particle size and pH value of the 4A zeolite produced from coal gangue by the method of the present invention all meet the product quality standards of 4A zeolite for detergent additives. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
