Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly to a method for treating flotation wastewater in the purification of high-purity quartz sand. Background Technique

[0002] High-purity quartz sand refers to quartz with a SiO2 purity of ≥ 99.99%. Due to its excellent chemical stability, high-temperature resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, and high light transmittance, etc., it plays an irreplaceable role in multiple high-tech industries, especially in high-end manufacturing fields such as semiconductors, photovoltaics, and optical fiber communication. The purification of high-purity quartz sand is not only a material science issue but also a fulcrum for high-end manufacturing, energy transformation, and technological competitiveness. Its technological breakthrough is directly related to the development speed of key fields such as semiconductor autonomy, cost reduction and efficiency increase in photovoltaics, and 5G communication infrastructure.

[0003] At the present stage, the social development has a huge demand for high-purity quartz sand. Therefore, how to efficiently utilize the resources in the quartz sand purification process is of great research significance for reducing enterprise costs and improving economic benefits.

[0004] Flotation is one of the most critical links in the purification of high-purity quartz sand. In its process, the consumption of chemical reagents and water resources is huge. Especially to improve the flotation efficiency, often a large amount of excess flotation reagents and various reagent combinations are required. If the reagents and water resources after flotation are not fully utilized, it will not only reduce the resource utilization rate of the quartz sand purification process but also cause problems such as environmental pollution and increased enterprise production costs.

[0005] Regarding the problem of recycling chemical reagents and wastewater after flotation in the purification process of high-purity quartz sand, the existing recycling technologies cannot meet the requirements of this field: because the high-purity quartz sand purification field is different from traditional mineral purification, and has higher requirements for the flotation efficiency of target minerals and impurities (> 99.9%). In order to achieve a higher separation effect, various reagent combinations (such as anionic collectors, cationic collectors, and foaming agents, etc.), more reagent dosages, and more precise control of the reagent combination ratio are often required during the flotation process. The existing recycling technologies cannot efficiently separate different types of reagents, and thus cannot meet the technical requirements for reagent recovery and wastewater reuse in the flotation of the high-purity quartz sand purification process.

[0006] After retrieval, there are the following existing technologies:

[0007] The patent specification with the publication number CN118811902A discloses a secondary utilization treatment device for quartz sand purification wastewater. It statically treats the wastewater from ore washing, reuses the upper clear water to rinse the residual acid liquid on the surface of the quartz sand ore after pickling, and adds waste iron filings to the pickling waste liquid in the adjustment tank to reconcile and regenerate hydrated crystals of ferrous salts and regenerated acid liquid, achieving the comprehensive utilization of wastewater in the quartz sand purification process and thus improving the economic efficiency of the production line.

[0008] The patent specification with the publication number CN115594353A discloses a treatment method for phosphate rock double reverse flotation wastewater. First, the pH of the wastewater from the mixed phosphate rock double reverse flotation is adjusted to 4 - 5 to obtain pretreated wastewater, and then a mixed eliminator is added to adsorb and eliminate the cationic and anionic collectors in the wastewater. The recycled water obtained after treatment can be returned to the beneficiation process for recycling.

[0009] The existing technologies have the following problems:

[0010] 1) Only the removal of chemicals from the wastewater in the quartz sand flotation process is carried out to achieve water recycling, without classifying and collecting the chemicals in the wastewater and lacking efficient recycling. Since the flotation of high-purity quartz sand is different from traditional mineral flotation, a large amount of different types of flotation chemicals are often added during the process. The inability to recycle these chemicals will not only cause environmental pollution and reduce the resource utilization rate but also increase the production cost of enterprises.

[0011] 2) The existing processes for treating flotation wastewater often require an acidic environment (such as pH = 4). In the long term, on the one hand, the acidic environment will corrode the equipment, and on the other hand, it will also increase environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In view of the above technical problems and the deficiencies in the art, the present invention provides a method for treating flotation wastewater in the purification of high-purity quartz sand, which can achieve the recovery of flotation chemicals and the recycling of the treated water. It can not only recycle the wastewater in flotation but also efficiently recover different flotation chemicals used in flotation, improve the utilization rate of chemical agents, reduce the environmental pollution caused by the high-purity quartz sand purification process, and reduce the production cost of enterprises. In addition, the flotation wastewater treatment method of the present invention does not require additional addition of acids or bases, is environmentally friendly, will not cause equipment corrosion, environmental pollution, or harm to the health of workers.

It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. The operation methods without specific conditions noted in the following embodiments are usually carried out under conventional conditions or according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer.

[0064] SeeFigure 1 , a method for treating flotation wastewater in the purification of high-purity quartz sand, comprising: introducing the foam and wastewater generated during the flotation process of a flotation machine into a flotation water tank to eliminate the foam; introducing the wastewater after eliminating the foam into a sedimentation tank, separating mineral impurities from flotation reagents through a microwave-assisted stirring device, the microwave-assisted stirring device comprising a microwave emitter and a mechanical stirrer located in the upper layer of the sedimentation tank, then standing still to allow the mineral impurities to precipitate at the bottom, and the flotation reagents remaining in the wastewater; the flotation reagents comprising a cationic collector and an anionic collector; introducing the standing wastewater into a filtration tank to filter and remove the scum and suspended solids in the wastewater; introducing the filtered wastewater into a cation exchange tower, and the cationic collector being adsorbed in the cation exchange tower; introducing the wastewater flowing through the cation exchange tower into an anion exchange tower, and the anionic collector being adsorbed in the anion exchange tower; the effluent of the anion exchange tower being collected in a storage tank and reused for the flotation of the flotation machine; and, eluting and recovering the cationic collector adsorbed in the cation exchange tower and the anionic collector adsorbed in the anion exchange tower and reusing them for the flotation of the flotation machine.

[0065] The following introduces a specific case based on the above flotation wastewater treatment method.

[0066] Example 1:

[0067] Flotation process. Add 500 kg of pretreated quartz sand of 60 - 180 mesh to the flotation machine, add 300 L of clear water to prepare a pulp with a mass fraction of 62.5%, use hydrochloric acid as a pH adjuster to adjust the pulp pH = 2, then add 50 g of a cationic collector (mass ratio of dodecylamine:hexadecylamine:octadecylamine is 3:1:1), stir for 15 minutes; then add 50 g of an anionic collector (mass ratio of sodium dodecylsulfonate:sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate:sodium oleate is 3:1:1) for the reverse flotation of quartz, and control the water replenishment amount to be 100 L during the flotation process. The pretreatment includes quartz sand ore crushing, scrubbing, color sorting, calcination, sand making, and magnetic separation.

[0068] Wastewater treatment process. The foam and wastewater generated during the flotation process are introduced into the flotation water tank, and defoaming is carried out by a mechanical defoamer with impeller blades in the tank at a rotational speed of 1200 r / min until the foam is eliminated; then the water in the flotation water tank is introduced into the sedimentation tank, and the microwave generator (operating in pulse mode, microwave frequency of 2.45 GHz) and the mechanical stirrer (rotational speed of 1200 r / min) are turned on for 30 minutes of operation time, and then left to stand for 30 minutes. Mineral impurities precipitate at the bottom, and the flotation reagents remain in the water; then the wastewater in the sedimentation tank is introduced into the filtration tank, and the floating slag and suspended matter in the wastewater are removed by filtration through an acid and alkali resistant tubular ceramic filter membrane with a pore size of 10 µm, and the flow rate is controlled at 15 BV / h. The filtered wastewater is successively introduced into the cation exchange tower and the anion exchange tower, and the wastewater flow rate is controlled at 15 BV / h for both. Finally, the treated water is introduced into the storage tank and reused in the flotation process.

[0069] Reagent recovery process. After the wastewater treatment is completed, 10 L of 10% NaCl aqueous solution by mass is used as the eluent solution to elute the cation exchange resin and the anion exchange resin respectively. The eluted solutions are dried in an oven, and the oven temperature is controlled not to exceed 80 °C. After the water has completely evaporated, 500 mL of ethanol is used for dissolution respectively. The insoluble matter is inorganic salts. The ethanol is collected and dried to obtain the corresponding cationic collector and anionic collector, which are reused in the flotation process.

[0073] Example 2:

[0074] Flotation process. The difference from the flotation process in Example 1 is only that the dosages of both the cationic collector and the anionic collector are changed to 20 g, and the rest are the same.

[0075] The wastewater treatment process and the reagent recovery process are the same as those in Example 1.

[0085] Example 4:

[0086] The water in the storage tank of the wastewater treatment process and the cationic collector and anionic collector obtained from the reagent recovery process in Example 1 are reused in the flotation process according to Example 1. Among them, 20% (by mass ratio) of the cationic and anionic collectors used in Example 1 need to be added separately as supplementary reagents and added to the flotation process together with the recovered reagents, and the wastewater treatment process and the reagent recovery process are carried out according to Example 1, which is recorded as the first recovery operation. Subsequently, the water in the storage tank obtained from the first recovery and the cationic collector and anionic collector are continued to be applied according to the above process to complete the second recovery operation.

[0094] In summary, the flotation wastewater treatment method in the purification of high-purity quartz sand of the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0095] First, different types of flotation reagents are efficiently separated and recovered through an ion exchange tower. The prior art does not recycle the remaining reagents in the wastewater after flotation.
