Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of recycling and utilization of scrap steel materials, and in particular to a method for recycling zinc chloride from galvanized scrap steel materials. Background Art

[0002] The zinc coating on the steel substrate is an anodic coating in general corrosive media. It not only acts as a barrier layer for the substrate, but more importantly, it can play an electrochemical protective role. So far, galvanizing is still the most effective method for steel surface corrosion protection. At present, about 30% of the total annual global steel production adopts galvanizing for corrosion protection. With the continuous development of the steel industry and the replacement application of new high-corrosion-resistant materials, hundreds of millions of tons of scrap steel are generated every year. Scrap steel is an indispensable raw material for the modern steel industry and the only green energy carrier and sustainable development renewable resource that can replace iron ore in large quantities. In recent years, the proportion of galvanized scrap steel in scrap steel has increased year by year, and it shows an accelerating trend. Galvanized scrap steel is a valuable resource that can be recycled. Galvanized scrap steel contains iron and zinc, and its recycling has significant economic and environmental benefits. However, in the current scrap steel recycling process, galvanized scrap steel is still simply treated the same as scrap steel, and is collected, sorted and packaged before being handed over to steel smelting enterprises as furnace charge. A large amount of production practice has proved that galvanized scrap steel enters the furnace dust along with the zinc brought into the furnace charge system, and is easily enriched in the blast furnace after sintering, causing nodules, which has serious harm to the blast furnace production process. For this reason, various steel companies control the allowable value of blast furnace zinc load below 0.5Kg / t, while the zinc content in galvanized scrap steel is far higher than this threshold. In order to prevent zinc from entering the steel smelting process and effectively separate and utilize zinc in galvanized scrap steel, people have carried out research on methods for dezincification of galvanized scrap steel, such as mechanical method, alkaline leaching electrolysis method, pyrolysis method, etc.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of my country's infrastructure and the end of the service life of traditional galvanized steel products, the amount of galvanized scrap steel in my country has been increasing year by year. Therefore, the separation of zinc and iron and the recycling of galvanized scrap steel have become urgent problems to be solved in the steel smelting industry and metal recycling field. In response to this, industry workers have continuously innovated in the mechanical method, alkaline leaching electrolysis method, and pyrometallurgical method for separating zinc from galvanized scrap steel.

[0004] The literature (Study on new technology of removing abandoned tobacco zinc platecoating by using mechanical method. Advanced Materials Research, 2012, 472: 2944-2947) uses a mechanical method to remove the zinc layer on the surface of waste galvanized sheet. The zinc removal rate can reach 98% while ensuring the allowable roughness. However, the samples in the literature are regular galvanized sheets, and the separation and recovery of the removed zinc is not mentioned.

[0005] The literature (Dezincing of zinc alloy coated steel scrap in hot caustic soda. Steel Research, 1999, 70(6): 227-232) uses alkaline electrolysis to remove the zinc layer on the surface of hot-dip galvanized steel scrap, analyzes the influence of alkaline immersion parameters, and also points out the defects of the long process of alkaline electrolysis.

[0006] In response to the problems of mechanical and alkaline leaching and electrolytic dezincification, researchers have proposed a technical idea for pyrometallurgical dezincification of galvanized scrap steel, which involves heating in air or vacuum, inert gas, or reducing atmosphere in a heating furnace to separate zinc and iron by utilizing the difference in their vaporization temperatures; or combining acid washing and alkaline leaching for dezincification.

[0007] Publication No. CN111733333A discloses a method for dezincifying galvanized scrap steel. The technology mixes galvanized scrap steel with coke powder in a certain mass ratio, then introduces inert gas into a rotary kiln and heats to 900-1050°C for pyro-dezincification, so that the galvanized layer can be effectively recovered. Although the technical solution controls the oxidation of the separated zinc to a certain extent, the technical solution also has the disadvantages of high energy consumption and low efficiency, and it is difficult to meet the processing requirements of large quantities of galvanized scrap steel. At the same time, there are many impurities in the zinc after separation, and subsequent impurity removal treatment is required.

[0008] Publication No. CN218507876U discloses a device for recycling zinc from galvanized steel scrap and zinc-containing materials. The core of this technology is to disclose a crushing device for galvanized steel scrap, which can crush large-sized galvanized steel scrap and improve the efficiency of pyro-zinc removal. In essence, it still adopts pyro-zinc removal and still does not solve the problems existing in pyro-zinc removal.

[0009] Publication No. CN113909255A discloses a galvanized scrap steel dezincification device, the core technology of which is to stir the crushed galvanized scrap steel and further crush it to increase the dezincification rate.

[0010] Publication No. CN107500340A discloses a method for recycling zinc in galvanized scrap steel and zinc-containing materials. Its technical solution is to first pickle the galvanized scrap steel and zinc-containing materials, add hydrogen peroxide to oxidize, and add strong alkali to remove impurities; add sodium carbonate solution to precipitate zinc carbonate; add sodium hydroxide solution to precipitate zinc hydroxide; roast the precipitated zinc carbonate or zinc hydroxide to obtain high-purity active zinc oxide. Its core technology belongs to the acid-washing and alkali-leaching method in principle, using acid to convert the zinc on the surface of the galvanized scrap steel substrate into zinc ions, and then using sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide to convert the zinc ions into alkaline precipitates, and then roasting at high temperature to convert them into zinc oxide, so as to realize the conversion and recycling of zinc on the surface of the galvanized scrap steel into zinc oxide. It is easy to judge from its process flow that its consumption of strong acid and strong alkali is large, and the process flow is long, and it is difficult to mass produce in terms of processing cost and operation.

[0011] Publication No. CN116287717A discloses a zinc-containing scrap steel dezincification and recovery device and a method of use, the device comprising: a track feeding unit comprising a weighing component, an inlet track and an outlet track, the zinc-containing scrap steel is transported to the inlet track; a weighing component is arranged under the inlet track; the dezincification unit comprises a bearing component, a heating component, a vibrating component, a purging component and a zinc collecting component, the bearing component is built of refractory materials in an upper and lower cone shape, the outlet track passes through the bearing component and extends to one side, a heating component is arranged at the front end of the inner side of the bearing component and is located above the outlet track, and a layer of steel plate is added to the inner wall; a purging component is arranged on the inner wall of the outlet side of the bearing component to spray argon gas on the scrap steel; a vibrating component is arranged at the bottom of the outlet track, and the zinc layer is accelerated to separate from the surface of the scrap steel by vibration. Its technical core still belongs to pyrometallurgical dezincification, but it is a dezincification that is completed continuously on a moving track by introducing argon gas and assisting vibration.

[0012] Publication No. CN115342633A discloses a composite rotary kiln and a light and thin scrap steel degreasing and dezincification recovery system and method, wherein the composite rotary kiln comprises a rotary kiln cylinder, wherein the rotary kiln cylinder comprises an inner heating kiln section, an oxidation kiln section and an outer heating kiln section which are sequentially arranged and interconnected, and the light and thin scrap steel degreasing and dezincification recovery system comprises a scrap steel crushing system, a preheating vertical furnace, an induced draft fan, a one-shot hot forging system and a dust removal and fume exhaust system. The core of the system is still pyrometallurgical dezincification, and it is dezincification after the galvanized scrap steel is crushed. Summary of the invention

When the pH value of the corrosion-inhibiting dezincification solution is greater than 5, industrial hydrochloric acid is added to the dezincification solution to adjust the pH value of the corrosion-inhibiting dezincification solution to less than or equal to 1.

[0107] When the zinc ion online detection system detects that the zinc ion content in the corrosion-inhibiting dezincification liquid is 210 g / L, the corrosion-inhibiting dezincification liquid is pumped into the treatment tank in step 7, and the standby dezincification tank starts working at this time;
