Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste treatment and resource recovery, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-quality calcium fluoride by treating fluorine-containing sludge through secondary calcination. Background Art

[0002] Fluorine-containing sludge is a common solid waste in industrial production, widely sourced from industries such as chemical engineering, metallurgy, and electroplating. This type of sludge contains high concentrations of fluorides, which are toxic and corrosive. If not properly treated, it may cause serious harm to the ecological environment and human health. High-fluoride wastewater generated during the production process of enterprises often adopts a calcium salt precipitation + coagulation treatment process to remove fluorine by combining fluoride ions with calcium ions to form calcium fluoride precipitation; to meet the standard of fluoride in the effluent, an excessive amount of calcium salt needs to be added, thus generating a large amount of fluorine-containing sludge. The accumulation of fluorine-containing sludge not only occupies a large amount of land, but also has a high leaching risk of fluoride ions during long-term storage. After storage or landfill, fluoride ions will enter surface water and soil through rain leaching and infiltration, causing fluoride exceeding the standard in the water and soil environment, and even threatening human health through the enrichment and migration of crops. Therefore, the reasonable disposal of fluorine-containing sludge has become an important environmental protection issue.

[0003] At present, the conventional treatment methods for fluorine-containing sludge mainly include solidification / stabilization treatment, heat treatment, flotation method, direct acid leaching method, etc. Solidification / stabilization treatment is to add cement, lime or other solidifying agents to fix the fluorine in the fluorine-containing sludge in the solid matrix, reducing the risk of its migration and release. This method is easy to operate and the treatment effect is relatively stable, especially suitable for the sludge coexisting with heavy metals and fluorine. However, its main disadvantages are the significant increase in volume, occupying a large landfill space, and the potential risk of secondary pollution. Especially when the solidification is insufficient or after long-term degradation, it may lead to the release of fluorine. Heat treatment methods include processes such as incineration and melting. By decomposing the organic matter in the sludge at high temperature, the fluoride is gasified or mineralized at the same time. Incineration is suitable for sludge containing a large amount of organic matter, while melting is more suitable for inorganic sludge with high-concentration fluorides. Its advantages are that it can greatly reduce the sludge volume and completely destroy organic pollutants; the disadvantages are high energy consumption, high equipment requirements, and the need for further capture and treatment of fluoride gases to avoid air pollution. The flotation method is a separation technology based on the differences in the physicochemical properties of the mineral surface. Collector, foaming agent and other agents are added to the fluorine-containing sludge to adjust the flotation environment, enhancing the hydrophilicity difference between the impurity particles and calcium fluoride, and selectively separating calcium fluoride in the fluorine-containing sludge. However, due to the poor crystallization degree of calcium fluoride and impurities, the crystal surface difference is small. At the same time, the nano-particles in the fluorine-containing sludge are lower than the particle lower limit for effective flotation. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the selective separation of calcium fluoride in the fluorine-containing sludge by the flotation method. In addition, some enterprises have tried to purify calcium fluoride in fluorine-containing sludge using common chemical leaching methods and found that the acid leaching selectivity of calcium fluoride and impurities is poor, and the content of calcium fluoride in the fluorine-containing sludge hardly increases after acid leaching. The reason is that large particles of calcium fluoride with a complete crystal structure are theoretically insoluble in low-concentration acid solutions. However, due to the poor crystallization degree of calcium fluoride in the fluorine-containing sludge, calcium fluoride and impurities are mixed with each other, and the particle size is nanoscale. Under acid leaching conditions, calcium fluoride is easily dissolved in the acid solution together with impurities. Therefore, the direct acid leaching method cannot achieve the selective separation of calcium fluoride in the fluorine-containing sludge. To sum up, the traditional treatment methods cannot effectively separate calcium fluoride from the fluorine-containing sludge, resulting in a very low recovery rate of calcium fluoride. The main reason is that both calcium fluoride and impurities in the fluorine-containing sludge are nano-particles with poor crystallinity, mixed with each other, and they are similar in crystal size, crystal structure, surface properties, acid solubility, etc., with small differences. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a treatment method that can selectively separate calcium fluoride and impurities in the fluorine-containing sludge and recycle calcium fluoride resourcefully. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the above-mentioned disadvantages and deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing high-quality calcium fluoride by treating fluorine-containing sludge based on secondary calcination.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for preparing high-quality calcium fluoride by treating fluorine-containing sludge through secondary calcination, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) After drying the fluorine-containing sludge, it is crushed and mixed with sodium carbonate, and then fed into a dynamic heating device for the first-stage dynamic calcination at a temperature of 850 - 950 °C to obtain the once-calcined fluorine-containing sludge;

[0008] (2) The once-calcined fluorine-containing sludge is fed into a water-quenched acid leaching solution at a high temperature of 800 - 900 °C for stirring acid leaching treatment, and then solid-liquid separation is carried out. The obtained solid phase is washed with water to obtain the fluorine-containing sludge after acid leaching and impurity removal;

[0009] (3) The fluorine-containing sludge after acid leaching and impurity removal is dried and then mixed with calcium chloride flux and calcium fluoride crystal seeds, and then fed into a dynamic heating device for the second-stage dynamic calcination at a temperature of 950 - 1100 °C. After the calcination is completed, it is naturally cooled, washed, and dried to obtain a high-quality calcium fluoride product.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the fluorine-containing sludge is the fluorine-containing sludge generated during the fluorochemical production process, and its main solid-phase components include calcium fluoride, calcium carbonate, and silicon dioxide. The content of calcium fluoride in the solid-phase components is 60 - 80 wt.%.

[0011] Furthermore, in steps (1) and (3), the drying means drying at a temperature of 105 - 120 °C until the moisture content is 4 - 6%.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of the sodium carbonate to the dried fluorine-containing sludge for crushing and mixing is 1:8 - 15.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the rotation speed of the first-stage dynamic calcination is 30 - 50 r / min, and the calcination time is 1 - 2 h.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the water-quenched acid leaching solution uses a dilute hydrochloric acid solution with a mass concentration of 10 - 20%; the solid-liquid ratio of the once-calcined fluorine-containing sludge to the water-quenched acid leaching solution is 1:4 - 6; the rotation speed of the stirring acid leaching treatment is 100 - 200 r / min, and the time is 40 - 80 min.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (2), the solid-liquid separation means carrying out vacuum filtration for solid-liquid separation under a vacuum degree of 0.01 - 0.1 MPa; the obtained liquid phase after solid-liquid separation respectively obtains sodium chloride and calcium chloride through the fractional crystallization method; the obtained calcium chloride is used as the calcium chloride flux in step (3) for resource utilization.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (3), the particle size of the calcium fluoride crystal seeds is 50 - 100 μm.

[0017] Further preferably, the mass ratio of the dried fluorine-containing sludge after acid leaching and impurity removal to calcium chloride flux and calcium fluoride seed crystal is 10:0.4-0.6:0.2-0.4.

[0018] Further, in step (3), the dynamic calcination rotation speed in the second stage is 50-100 r / min, and the calcination time is 1-3 h.

[0019] Further, in step (3), the purity of the high-quality calcium fluoride product is >97%, and the proportion of the product particle size on the 325-mesh sieve is more than 90%.

[0020] The principle of the present invention is as follows: The main components of the fluorine-containing sludge generated in the fluorochemical production process are calcium fluoride (CaF2), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Since the acid leaching process will reduce the particle size of the calcium fluoride product, the present invention adopts a two-stage calcination method. The first-stage calcination mainly promotes the differential growth process of calcium fluoride crystals and impurities. During the high-temperature calcination process, calcium fluoride gradually forms a crystal structure from amorphous, calcium carbonate undergoes a decomposition reaction to generate calcium oxide (CaO), and together with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), it reacts with silicon dioxide (SiO2) to generate calcium silicate (CaSiO3) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). The specific reaction formulas are as follows:

[0021] CaCO3(s) = CaO(s) + CO2(g);

[0022] CaO(s) + SiO2(s) = CaSiO3(s);

[0023] Na2CO3(s) + SiO2(s) = Na2SiO3(s) + CO2(g);

[0024] Subsequently, the first-stage calcination product is separated and purified by quenching the acid leaching solution. Sodium silicate, calcium silicate, and calcium oxide in the solid phase will react and dissolve with heated hydrochloric acid (HCl) to generate sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and colloidal silicic acid (H2SiO3) precipitate. After solid-liquid separation, a liquid phase containing sodium chloride and calcium chloride is obtained, and fractional crystallization is carried out on it for resource recovery and utilization. Subsequently, a small amount of colloidal silicic acid and attached dilute hydrochloric acid in the solid phase are washed away with water to obtain purified calcium fluoride. The specific reaction formulas are as follows:

[0025] Na2SiO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) = 2NaCl(aq) + H2SiO3(s);

[0026] CaSiO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) = CaCl2(aq) + H2SiO3(s) + H2O(aq);

[0027] CaO(s) + 2HCl(aq) = CaCl2(aq) + H2O(aq);

[0028] Finally, large-sized calcium fluoride seeds and calcium chloride flux are added to the calcium fluoride after impurity removal and mixed in a certain proportion, and then two-stage calcination is carried out. The flux can reduce the surface energy of calcium fluoride, accelerate grain boundary migration, and will not introduce other impurities. The residual calcium chloride is removed after rinsing. The large-sized seeds provide heterogeneous nucleation sites, reduce random nucleation, promote directional growth, further granulate and improve the quality of calcium fluoride, and finally obtain high-quality calcium fluoride products.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] (1) Since the particle size of calcium fluoride will be reduced during the water quenching and acid leaching process, the present invention adopts a two-stage calcination method to separate the water quenching and acid leaching impurity removal process from the calcination and quality improvement process, so that the particle size and quality of the calcium fluoride product are greatly increased.

[0031] (2) The present invention can effectively remove impurities (calcium carbonate and silicon dioxide) in the fluorine-containing sludge. After treatment, the calcium fluoride content of the product reaches more than 97%, and the particle size reaches more than 90% of the proportion on the 325-mesh sieve.

[0060] Comparative Example 1

[0061] Compared with Example 1, in this comparative example, only acid leaching for impurity removal and two-stage quality-improving calcination treatment are carried out on the fluorine-containing sludge (directly carry out the treatments in steps (2) and (3) of Example 1), without the one-stage calcination for impurity removal process, including the following steps:

[0062] (1) Acid leaching for impurity removal: Feed the fluorine-containing sludge into an acid leaching tank (dilute hydrochloric acid with a mass concentration of 15%, solid-liquid ratio 1:5), stir and leach for 60 min at a rotation speed of 150 r / min, then perform vacuum filtration for solid-liquid separation under the condition that the vacuum degree is higher than 0.09 MPa.

[0064] The main components of the fluorine-containing sludge before treatment and the obtained calcium fluoride products after treatment in this example are shown in Table 4 below. The calcium fluoride content of the product after treatment in this example is 86.94%. Due to the lack of the first-stage calcination and impurity removal process, the removal rate of silicon dioxide is only 5%, which in turn affects the crystal growth process of the second-stage calcination. The proportion of particles larger than 325 mesh in the product particle size is 59.6%.

After the obtained solid phase is rinsed to remove colloidal silica, it is the fluorine-containing sludge after acid leaching for impurity removal; the liquid phase contains dissolved sodium chloride and calcium chloride, and then the solubility difference-based fractional crystallization is used to respectively recycle sodium chloride and calcium chloride for resource recovery.

[0071] The main components of the fluorine-containing sludge before treatment and the obtained calcium fluoride product after treatment in this example are shown in Table 5 below. The calcium fluoride content of the product after treatment in this example is 97.74%, and the removal rate of silicon dioxide is 85.79%. Due to the lack of the two-stage calcination and quality improvement process, the proportion of the product particle size on the 325-mesh sieve is only 10.1%.
