Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of steel slag and carbon neutralization, in particular to a method and device for steel slag gradient resource utilization coupled with CCUS. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steel slag is an industrial waste residue produced in the steelmaking process, with a production of about 15%-20% of the steel production, and the production is very large. These steel slags not only occupy land resources, but also cause dust pollution, and after rain, they will also pollute rivers and groundwater. If it can be reasonably utilized, not only the pollution problem can be solved, but also the steel slag can be turned into treasure. A part of the traditional domestic steel slag is used for foundation backfill, road paving, cement raw material, steel slag phosphate fertilizer, etc. With the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, NY_T 525-2021 "Organic Fertilizer" and GB175-2023 "General Portland Cement" have already prohibited the use of steel slag. This greatly limits the extensive use of steel slag resources, so it is urgent to develop a low-cost steel slag gradient resource utilization process.
[0003] Removing impurities from steel slag to obtain high-iron-content ore is an important direction of steel slag. Steel plants will use magnetic separation methods to recycle or remove the iron blocks and high-iron-content parts in the steel slag from the sintering section. Some manufacturers will also crush the steel slag after rough separation and perform secondary magnetic separation. After physical recovery and treatment, the steel slag still contains more than 10% iron content. According to the steel slag production process, the iron content of some steel slag can reach more than 25%. Steel slag contains a large amount of calcium and silicon, with CaO content of 35%-50% and SiO2 content of 10%-15%. In addition, steel slag also contains elements such as phosphorus, magnesium, silicon, aluminum, and manganese. Although it is feasible to extract ferrite from steel slag or remove calcium and silicon components from steel slag, the cost is obviously higher than directly using iron ore. Therefore, the steel slag ironmaking route has not been able to realize application. In order to obtain iron ore that meets the steelmaking process, more removal of calcium and silicon elements from steel slag is the key to improving the iron content.
[0004] The calcium component in the steel slag is usually in the form of free calcium oxide, calcium silicate, and other complex oxides formed by other elements. Part of the calcium elements can be extracted as raw materials for CCUS through some processes. CN115820946B extracts more than 80% of the calcium elements in the steel slag into the solution through a two-stage ammonium chloride extraction process, and combines them with CO2 in the plant tail gas to produce calcium carbonate, achieving the effect of mineralization and carbon sequestration. CN111558606B converts part of the calcium elements in the steel slag into calcium bicarbonate by adding a pressurized CO2 process and an additive, and separates the calcium bicarbonate from the steel slag. Then, the pH value of the calcium bicarbonate solution is adjusted to convert the calcium bicarbonate into calcium carbonate products. However, the above processes do not further utilize the steel slag after calcium extraction. The main reason is that although the iron content is enriched after calcium extraction, the mineral phase of the steel slag is still complete, and the silicon-calcium phase and the phosphorus-calcium phase are still combined with high-iron phase and cannot be separated. CN116622920B adopts a method of first extracting calcium with an ammonium chloride solution to break the mineral phase of the steel slag, and then oxidizing the divalent iron in the steel slag to magnetite to improve the magnetism of the iron-containing particles in the steel slag. Finally, particles with different magnetic strengths are screened out by adjusting the magnetic field strength. However, this method still cannot solve the problem of adhesion of most calcium-extracted steel slag iron oxide to other mineral phases, and can only select 15-27% of iron ore with high iron content.
[0005] Therefore, whether the connection between high-iron-content particles and low-iron-content particles can be further broken after calcium extraction from the steel slag is the key to improving the yield of iron ore.
[0006] In view of this, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0204] In some examples, as shown in Figure 2 The primary ore dissolving unit 100 is added to the primary ore dissolving pulp kettle V101 with steel slag 101, primary ore dissolving liquid 128 and part of the impurity removal primary ore dissolving liquid 132 to form dispersion liquid 102 which is added to the primary ore dissolving reactor R101 for primary ore dissolving reaction. The obtained reaction liquid 106 enters the primary ore dissolving slag thickening kettle V102 to thicken the solid concentration to 20%-30%, and then the thickened liquid 107 is sent to the primary ore dissolving slag plate and frame filter F101 for filtration and washing to obtain the primary ore dissolving slag filter cake 111 which is sent to the secondary ore dissolving unit 300. The filtrate 108 is combined with the supernatant 109 obtained from the primary ore dissolving slag thickening kettle V102 to form 110 which is sent to the mineralization unit 200. The ammonia gas 103 generated in the primary ore dissolving reaction is absorbed by the ammonia gas absorption tower T101 to obtain ammonia water 104. The waste gas 105 is discharged to the waste gas treatment system.
[0205] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The steps S1 and S2 can adopt the form of heat exchanger or heat pump to exchange heat between the high-temperature ore dissolving liquid obtained in S1 and the low-temperature calcium recycling liquid obtained in S2, and then the obtained liquid is cooled to the appropriate temperature required for mineralization reaction through the heat exchanger with condensed water. Through heat integration technology, the energy consumption in the ore dissolving process can be reduced.
[0206] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The mineralization unit 200 mixes the mixed liquid 123 of ammonia water recovered from the primary ore dissolving unit 100 and ammonia water recovered from the secondary ore dissolving unit 300 with the ore dissolving liquid 110 obtained from the primary ore dissolving unit 100 and then inputs the mixed liquid into the mineralization reactor R201, and at the same time, the industrial tail gas 113 is input into the gas distributor at the bottom of R201 to perform mineralization reaction with the liquid phase. The mineralization reaction liquid 115 is transported to the mineralization reaction liquid thickening kettle V201 to thicken the solid concentration to 20%-30%, and then the thickened liquid 117 is sent to the mineralization reaction liquid plate and frame filter F201 for filtration and washing to obtain the calcium carbonate filter cake 120 which is dried and crushed to obtain the finished product of calcium carbonate. The filtrate 118 is combined with the supernatant 116 obtained from the mineralization reaction liquid thickening kettle V201 to form the calcium recycling liquid 119 which is sent to the secondary ore dissolving unit 300.
[0207] In some embodiments of the present application, asFigure 4 As shown, the secondary ore dissolving unit 300 disperses the primary ore dissolving slag 111 from the primary ore dissolving unit 100 and the circulating calcium extraction liquid 119 from the mineralization reaction unit 200 in the secondary ore dissolving slurry preparation vessel V301 to form a dispersion liquid 121, which is then added to the secondary ore dissolving reactor R201 for primary ore dissolving reaction. The resulting reaction solution 123 is fed into a secondary slag concentration reactor V302 to concentrate the solids to 20%-30%. The concentrated solution 125 is then sent to a secondary slag plate and frame filter press F301 for filtration and washing to obtain a secondary slag filter cake 127, which is then sent to the tertiary slag dissolving unit 400. The filtrate 126 is combined with the supernatant 124 obtained from the secondary slag concentration reactor V302, and 30% of the primary slag dissolving solution 129 is taken and sent to a primary slag dissolving solution impurity removal reactor R302. Simultaneously, ammonia water 130 is introduced to adjust the pH to 8-9, resulting in reaction solution 131. This is then filtered and washed by the impurity removal reaction solution plate and frame filter press F302 to obtain composite hydroxide 133. The resulting impurity-removed primary slag dissolving solution 132 is sent to the primary slag dissolving unit 100. The remaining primary slag dissolving solution 128 is sent to the primary slag dissolving unit 100. The mixture of steam and ammonia generated during the secondary ore-dissolving reaction is condensed by condenser E301 to obtain ammonia water 122, which is then combined with ammonia water 104 obtained from the primary ore-dissolving reaction to form recovered ammonia water 123, which is then transported to the mineralization reaction unit 200.
[0208] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, in step S3, all or part of the primary ore-dissolving solution is sent to the ammonia water purification process. Complete removal with ammonia water effectively ensures the removal of impurities from the ore-dissolving solution; however, this process requires adjusting the pH to 9-10, which will cause more ammonia gas to be distilled in step S1, increasing energy consumption for ammonia distillation and the load on the T101 ammonia absorption tower. Using only a portion of the primary ore-dissolving solution for purification reduces ammonia usage. Metal impurities accumulate and gradually increase in concentration during circulation in the primary ore-dissolving slag and primary ore-dissolving solution. Therefore, in the purification process of a portion of the primary ore-dissolving solution, adjusting the pH to 8-9 is sufficient to remove most of the metal impurities.
[0209] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, in the tertiary ore dissolving unit 400, the secondary ore dissolving slag from the secondary ore dissolving unit 300 is dispersed with regenerated alkali solution 154 and supplementary alkali solution 143 in the tertiary ore dissolving pulping tank V401 for pulping. The resulting dispersion 136 is added to the tertiary ore dissolving reactor R401 for tertiary ore dissolving reaction. The resulting reaction liquid 137 enters the tertiary ore dissolving slag concentration tank V402 to concentrate the solids to 20%-30%. The concentrated liquid 139 is sent to the tertiary ore dissolving slag plate and frame filter F401 for filtration and washing to obtain the tertiary ore dissolving slag filter cake 142, which is then sent to the quaternary ore dissolving unit 600. The filtrate 140 is combined with the supernatant 138 obtained from the tertiary ore dissolving slag concentration tank V402 to obtain the silicate solution 141.
[0210] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the silica unit 500, silicate solution 141 and CO2 gas 144 from the tertiary ore-dissolving unit 400 are simultaneously added to the carbonation reactor R501 for reaction to obtain carbonation reaction liquid 146. Unreacted gas 145 enters the tail gas treatment system. After solid-liquid separation and washing in centrifuge C501, silica gel 147 is obtained and sent to the drying unit to obtain silica product. The resulting carbonate solution 148 is added to the alkali regeneration reactor R502 to react with calcium hydroxide 149. The resulting reaction liquid 150 enters the circulating alkali concentration tank V501 to concentrate the solid concentration to 20%-30%. The concentrated liquid 152 is sent to the circulating alkali plate and frame filter F501 for filtration and washing to obtain calcium carbonate filter cake 155 for solid drying. The filtrate 153 and the supernatant 151 obtained from the circulating alkali concentration tank V501 are combined into 154 and sent to the tertiary ore-dissolving unit 400.
[0211] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the fourth-stage ore-dissolving unit 600 adds the third-stage ore-dissolving slag 142, high-pressure CO2 gas 156, and hydrogen peroxide solution 167 from the third-stage ore-dissolving unit 400 to the pressure ore-dissolving reactor R601 for a fourth-stage ore-dissolving reaction. The resulting fourth-stage ore-dissolving reaction liquid 158 is sent to the filter press F601 for pressure filtration and washing. The resulting fourth-stage ore-dissolving slag 159 is sent to the gravity separation and magnetic separation unit 700. The resulting calcium bicarbonate solution 160 is sent to the calcium bicarbonate decomposition reactor R602 for heating and decomposition. The resulting calcium carbonate suspension 162 is sent to the decomposition liquid concentration reactor V601 to concentrate the calcium carbonate concentration to 20%-30%. The concentrated liquid 164 is then sent to the decomposition liquid plate and frame filter press F602 for filtration and washing to obtain calcium carbonate filter cake 167 for solid drying. The filtrate 165 and the supernatant 163 obtained from the decomposition liquid concentration reactor V601 are combined into 166 for wastewater treatment. The CO2 gas 161 released from the reaction in the calcium bicarbonate decomposition kettle R602 is combined with the CO2 released from the depressurization of the ore melting reactor R601 and the filter press F601 and sent to the tail gas treatment.
[0212] In some embodiments of the present invention, CO2 tail gas 157 can be mixed into industrial tail gas 113 in mineralization reaction unit 200 for absorption, thereby increasing the net CO2 emission reduction of the entire device.
[0213] In some embodiments of the present invention, CO2 tail gas 157 can be used in CO2 gas 144 used in the carbonation reaction in the silicon dioxide unit 500, thereby increasing the net CO2 emission reduction of the entire device.

The exhaust gas is preferentially used for the carbonation reaction in the silicon dioxide unit 500, and the excess tail gas is mixed into the industrial tail gas 113 in the ore-dissolving reaction unit 200 for absorption. In this way, the high-concentration CO2 can be fully utilized, and the CO2 net emission of the entire device can be improved.
[0215] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The calcium bicarbonate decomposition solution 166 has less impurities and dissolves more CO2, and can be used to prepare a hydrogen peroxide solution 167 and returned to the pressure ore-dissolving reaction kettle R601 for recycling, thereby reducing the wastewater treatment amount, reducing CO2 emission, and improving the economic benefit of the entire device.

The obtained light tailings 169 are subjected to natural sedimentation, and the liquid is subjected to waste liquid treatment, and the solid is subjected to solid waste treatment. The obtained coarse iron ore dispersion liquid 170 is sent into the magnetic separator S702. The iron ore 171 with high magnetism is separated therefrom, washed, and dried to obtain high-grade iron ore. The remaining low-grade iron ore dispersion liquid 172 is sent into the iron ore thickening kettle V701, the solid concentration is thickened to 20%-30%, the thickened liquid 174 is sent into the iron ore plate and frame filter F701 for filtration and washing to obtain low-grade iron ore filter cake 178, the solid is dried to obtain low-grade iron ore, and the filtrate 175 is combined with the supernatant 173 obtained from the iron ore thickening kettle V701 to obtain 176 for wastewater treatment.
