Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of resource utilization, and in particular to a method for preparing cryolite by using red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste. Background Art

[0002] Red mud is a solid waste containing iron oxide generated during the production of alumina. For every 1t of alumina produced, 0.8 - 1.5t of red mud will be generated. Currently, the annual output of red mud in China is about 100 million tons, and 90% of it is treated by stacking in dams. Red mud is a harmful substance with high alkalinity and corrosiveness, and a large amount of stacking brings a huge burden to the environment. In recent years, with the gradual increase in the domestic alumina production and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the cost of red mud stacking has become higher and higher, restricting the development of alumina enterprises. The resource utilization of red mud has become an urgent problem to be solved in the alumina industry in China.

[0003] Fluorine-containing solid waste is a high-risk waste containing fluorides generated in the fields of metallurgy, chemical industry, etc., mainly including fluorite-rich tailings, rare earth tailings, spent potlining of electrolytic aluminum, and carbon slag. In rare earth mining, affected by the similar physical and chemical properties of symbiotic fluorite (CaF2) and rare earth ore, the flotation separation efficiency is low, resulting in the accumulation of tens of millions of tons of rare earth tailings with a fluorine content of 5% - 15% every year; while in the electrolytic aluminum industry, the annual emissions of fluorine-containing hazardous wastes such as carbon slag and spent potlining generated from the overhaul of smelting cells and anode reactions exceed one million tons, and the fluoride concentration is as high as 10% - 30%. At present, most of such solid wastes are mainly landfilled or stockpiled in the open air. However, fluoride ions are easily migrated through rain leaching, causing soil pollution and excessive fluoride in groundwater, seriously threatening the ecological environment. In recent years, with the shortage of fluorine resources and the upgrading of environmental protection policies, efficiently extracting fluorine from solid wastes and converting it into high-value-added products such as cryolite has become an important direction for the refined separation of rare earth tailings and the treatment of hazardous wastes in the electrolytic aluminum industry.

[0004] Combined utilization of the two wastes of red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste can, on the one hand, effectively solve the environmental pollution problems brought by the high alkalinity, corrosiveness of red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste, reduce the harm to soil, water bodies and the surrounding ecology, and reduce the potential safety hazards brought by tailings stacking. On the other hand, directly using the two solid wastes to prepare high-value-added products expands the resource utilization channels, reduces the environmental load of waste stacking, and reduces the environmental governance cost, which is of great significance for promoting resource recycling and green sustainable development.

[0005] Currently, the patent CN201910675919.3 involves the preparation of cryolite by mechanical activation. However, its preparation process requires a high-temperature environment and needs to be carried out under argon protection throughout the process. The equipment requirements are high, the preparation cost is high, the preparation process is long, and the production efficiency is low. It is difficult to achieve large-scale and rapid supply in the face of the increasing market demand for cryolite. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for preparing cryolite by using red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Preferably, in Step 2, the red mud powder and the fluorine-containing solid waste powder are loaded into the ball mill according to the ratio of A:F, where A is the sum of the molar number a of aluminum element in each ton of red mud to be treated and the molar number b of aluminum element in the fluorine-containing solid waste, that is, A = a + b, F is the molar number of fluorine element in each ton of fluorine-containing solid waste to be treated, A:F = 1:3 - 8, when adding clear water, according to the ratio of adding 1 - 25 L of water per kilogram of material, the rotation speed of the ball mill is 100 - 1000 r / min, and the ball milling time is 30 - 240 min.

[0014] Preferably, in Step 3, the inorganic acid is one or more of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid, where the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 10 - 37%, the volume ratio of the added hydrochloric acid to the volume of clear water in Step 2 is 1:1 - 7, the concentration of sulfuric acid is 20 - 98%, the volume ratio of the added sulfuric acid to the volume of clear water in Step 2 is 1:1 - 5, the concentration of nitric acid is 20 - 68%, the volume ratio of the added nitric acid to the volume of clear water in Step 2 is 1:1 - 7, and after adding the inorganic acid, the ratio of the material to the liquid is maintained as: 1.3 - 50 L of liquid per kilogram of material.

[0015] Preferably, in step three, the leaching temperature is 20 - 120 °C, the leaching time is 30 - 180 min, and the stirring rate is 100 - 1000 r / min.

[0016] Preferably, in step four, the neutralizing agent is one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonia water, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, dolomite powder, and calcium carbonate.

[0019] Therefore, the method for preparing cryolite using red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste as described above in the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) Using low-cost red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste as raw materials to prepare cryolite not only solves the problem of solid waste stacking pollution but also creates high-value products;

[0022] (3) Fluoride ions in solid waste usually need to be separated from the solid waste in a strong acid environment, which causes problems of strong acid corrosion of equipment. In the present invention, since red mud is a strong alkaline solid waste, the whole process of mechanical activation of red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste is in an alkaline environment, avoiding the loss of equipment caused by strong acid.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and examples. Description of the Drawings

[0024] Figure 1It is the front view preparation flowchart of an embodiment of the method for preparing cryolite using red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste in the present invention. Detailed implementation mode

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention should have the ordinary meaning understood by those of ordinary skill in the field to which the present invention belongs.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing cryolite using red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste, including the following steps:

[0028] Step 1, ball milling: Ball mill red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste respectively, and after sieving, obtain red mud powder and fluorine-containing solid waste powder respectively.

[0029] Among them, both red mud and fluorine-containing solid waste are ball milled to a particle size less than 74 μm, the mesh number of the sieve is 150 - 300 meshes, and the un-sieved materials are returned to the ball mill for ball milling again.

[0030] Step 2, mechanical activation: Load the red mud powder and fluorine-containing solid waste powder into the ball mill, add clear water and start the ball mill to obtain a composite admixture.

[0031] Among them, the red mud powder and the fluorine-containing solid waste powder are loaded into the ball mill according to the ratio of A:F, where A is the sum of the molar number a of aluminum element in each ton of red mud to be treated and the molar number b of aluminum element in the fluorine-containing solid waste, that is, A = a + b, F is the molar number of fluorine element in each ton of fluorine-containing solid waste to be treated, A:F = 1:3 - 8, when adding clear water, it is in the ratio of adding 1 - 25 L of water per kilogram of material, the rotation speed of the ball mill is 100 - 1000 r / min, and the ball milling time is 30 - 240 min.

[0032] Step 3, leaching: Mix the composite admixture obtained in step 2 with inorganic acid, stir and leach, and after leaching, wash and filter to obtain a leachate and a leached residue.

[0033] Among them, the inorganic acid is one or more of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Among them, the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 10 - 37%, the volume ratio of the added hydrochloric acid to the volume of clear water in step 2 is 1:1 - 7, the concentration of sulfuric acid is 20 - 98%, the volume ratio of the added sulfuric acid to the volume of clear water in step 2 is 1:1 - 5, the concentration of nitric acid is 20 - 68%, the volume ratio of the added nitric acid to the volume of clear water in step 2 is 1:1 - 7, and after adding the inorganic acid, the ratio of the material to the liquid is maintained as: 1.3 - 50 L of liquid is prepared per kilogram of material.

[0034] The leaching temperature is 20 - 120 °C, the leaching time is 30 - 180 min, and the stirring rate is 100 - 1000 r / min.

[0035] Step 4. Preparation of cryolite: Add a neutralizing agent to the leaching solution and stir to adjust the pH of the leaching solution. After the reaction is completed, filter and wash to obtain cryolite.

[0036] Among them, the neutralizing agent is one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonia water, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, dolomite powder, and calcium carbonate. The neutralizing agent is prepared into an aqueous solution or suspension, and its concentration is 0.5 - 1 mol / L. Adjust the pH to 0.5 - 2, the stirring rate is 200 - 600 rpm, and the reaction time is 20 - 120 min.

[0037] Generally, there is no fluorine in red mud. Therefore, the F value of the fluorine-containing solid waste and the composite admixture is the same. When the molar ratio of fluorine element to sodium element in the composite admixture obtained in Step 2, F:N > 0.5, first use one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride as the sodium source and neutralizing agent to adjust the pH to 0.5, and the dosage is calculated according to F:(N + X) = 1:0.5 - 0.8, where F is the molar number of fluorine element in the composite admixture, N is the molar number of sodium element in the composite admixture, and X is the molar number of sodium element in the neutralizing agent; subsequently, use a sodium-free neutralizing agent to continue adjusting the pH to 0.5 - 2;

[0038] When F:N ≤ 1:0.5, use a sodium-free neutralizing agent, select one or more of ammonium bicarbonate, ammonia water, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, dolomite powder, and calcium carbonate, and adjust the pH to 0.5 - 2.

[0039] Traditional methods usually require separating fluoride ions from the solid phase in a strong acidic environment, which not only has a high cost but also has high requirements for the corrosion resistance of equipment and is difficult to achieve industrial utilization. Through mechanical activation, it promotes the reaction between sodium hydroxide and sodium oxide in red mud and fluoride-containing compounds such as calcium fluoride and aluminum fluoride in the fluorine-containing solid waste to generate sodium fluoride that is easily soluble in water and calcium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide that is insoluble in water, enabling the efficient dissolution of fluoride ions under alkaline conditions while avoiding the corrosion problem of the equipment in an acidic environment. Subsequently, an inorganic acid solution is used to leach the aluminum element in the mixed admixture, so that the key elements (Na, Al, F) required for cryolite synthesis are fully dissolved into the leaching solution system; finally, the pH value of the leaching solution is regulated by a neutralizing agent to induce the selective precipitation of cryolite (Na3AlF6) crystals.
