Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aluminum electrolysis waste resource recovery, and in particular to a method for efficiently recovering lithium and aluminum metal components in aluminum electrolysis waste. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals in the world. During its production process, aluminum electrolysis technology converts aluminum oxide into aluminum metal. However, during the aluminum electrolysis process, a large amount of waste is generated, including aluminum electrolysis carbon slag, covering materials, overhaul slag, aluminum electrolyte, electrolytic cell lining materials, waste anode carbon blocks, waste cathode carbon blocks, etc. These wastes are rich in valuable metal components such as lithium and aluminum. If they are not effectively recovered, it will not only lead to waste of resources, but also cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a method that can efficiently recover valuable components in aluminum electrolysis waste.

[0003] In the prior art, the recycling methods of aluminum electrolysis waste are mainly divided into two categories: physical recycling and chemical recycling. The physical recycling method mainly separates aluminum metal from carbon materials through physical means such as crushing and screening, but this method cannot effectively separate aluminum from other metal elements, and the separation efficiency is low and the recovery rate is not high. The chemical recycling method separates aluminum from other elements through chemical reactions, such as leaching with acid or alkaline solutions, but this method has problems such as high consumption of chemical reagents, serious environmental pollution, and high cost.

[0004] At present, the recycling methods of aluminum electrolysis waste mainly include physical method, chemical method and electrochemical method. The physical method mainly separates aluminum and carbon by means of crushing, screening, magnetic separation and other means, but the recovery rate of this method is low and it is impossible to effectively separate impurities in aluminum and carbon. The chemical method usually uses strong acid or strong alkali for leaching. Although it can improve the recovery rate of aluminum, it seriously corrodes the equipment, and the waste liquid generated during the treatment process needs to be further treated, which increases the treatment cost and environmental risks. The electrochemical method requires specific electrolysis equipment and conditions, and the operation is complicated and the cost is high.

[0005] The limitations of existing technologies are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. Low recycling efficiency: Existing technology cannot effectively separate aluminum from other metal elements, resulting in a low recycling rate.

[0006] 2. Serious environmental pollution: The chemical reagents used in the chemical recovery method cause secondary pollution to the environment.

[0007] 3. High cost: Whether it is physical recycling or chemical recycling, the operation is complicated and the energy consumption is high, resulting in high recycling costs.

[0008] 4. High technical complexity: The existing technology requires complex equipment and process flow, which is not conducive to promotion and application. Summary of the invention

[0009] The present invention provides a method for efficiently recovering lithium and aluminum metal components in aluminum electrolysis waste. The method realizes efficient recovery and utilization of valuable components such as lithium and aluminum in the aluminum electrolysis waste by subjecting the aluminum electrolysis waste to the steps of crushing, roasting modification, water mixing and stirring reaction, filtering, impurity removal, lithium precipitation reaction, high-temperature roasting and ammoniation treatment. The method can effectively improve the recovery rate of aluminum, reduce environmental pollution, reduce recovery costs, and simplify the recovery process.

The lithium ion concentration in the filtrate A is detected by an instrument. If the lithium ion concentration in the filtrate A is ≤10 g / L, the filtrate is re-introduced into the reactor, and step 3 is repeated until the lithium ion concentration is ≥10 g / L to obtain a filtrate B and a filter residue B; Step 5: removing impurities from the filtrate B detected in step 4, removing the remaining hydrogen ions, fluoride ions, and aluminum ions in the solution, and separating and filtering to obtain filter residue C and filtrate C; Step 6: passing the filtrate C of step 5 into a water-soluble carbonate or phosphate, heating and stirring, and performing a lithium precipitation reaction; after separation and filtration, a lithium carbonate or lithium phosphate product and a lithium precipitation mother liquor are obtained; the lithium precipitation mother liquor is returned to step 5 for pH adjustment; Step 7: The filter residue obtained in step 3 and step 4 is fully mixed with the silicon-containing material and then calcined at high temperature to obtain a mixed gas containing aluminum oxide and silicon tetrafluoride; the aluminum oxide is returned to step 1 for reuse; Step 8: The mixed gas obtained in step 7 is subjected to ammoniation treatment to obtain a mixture of ammonium fluoride solution and silicon dioxide; after solid-liquid separation and water washing, the silicon dioxide is used again in step 7; the ammonium fluoride solution reacts with aluminum salt to prepare high-purity aluminum fluoride.
