Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of preparation of inorganic non-metallic materials, and more particularly, to a preparation method and application of a phosphogypsum-based fiber board made of waste paper fibers. Background Art

[0002] In the context of insufficient forest resources, raw material dependence on imports, and increasingly strict environmental protection policies, the comprehensive utilization of pulp fibers has become particularly important, and research in this field has gradually received more attention. To solve the raw material problem, large domestic paper-making enterprises have started to layout factories abroad, processing imported waste paper into recycled fiber pulp and transporting it back to China for use. This strategy not only optimizes the raw material structure but also injects new vitality into the sustainable development of the paper-making industry. Pulp fibers are not only used in traditional fields such as printing, packaging, and household paper but also find applications in emerging fields such as construction and fiber-reinforced silicate fireproof boards. Researchers are constantly exploring the application potential of pulp fibers in various fields, promoting the in-depth development of the comprehensive utilization of pulp fibers through technological innovation and product upgrading. The government has also introduced a series of policies to promote the transformation and upgrading of pulp fiber utilization, improve resource utilization efficiency, and promote green development. The implementation of policies such as "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Circular Economy" and "Pollutant Discharge Standards for the Paper Industry" has prompted enterprises to increase environmental protection investment, improve environmental protection technology levels, and promote the sustainable development of the comprehensive utilization of pulp fibers. Waste paper, as the main raw material for recycled pulp, needs to undergo pretreatment steps such as classified recycling and sorting to remove impurities. These steps help to remove impurities such as plastics, metals, and inks, improving the quality of recycled pulp. At the same time, waste slurries such as printing and dyeing wastewater and electroplating waste liquid can also be used as raw materials for recycled pulp, but need to be purified first. Using pulp fibers in the preparation of building materials is an effective way to utilize waste pulp.

[0003] Fiber gypsum board has good quality and can promote the fire resistance, heat insulation and sound insulation of the product. Gypsum board is made mainly of gypsum and added with a certain proportion of fiber reinforcing materials. Traditional reinforcing fibers mainly include synthetic fibers such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, polypropylene fiber, etc., but these fibers have problems of high cost and potential environmental pollution. In recent years, biomass fibers such as wood fiber, sisal fiber and bamboo original fiber have attracted attention due to their environmental friendliness and renewability. Research shows that after proper treatment, these biomass fibers can significantly improve the strength, toughness and other properties of gypsum board. With the improvement of environmental awareness, the environmental problems in the preparation process of fiber gypsum board have also been increasingly emphasized. Researchers continuously explore environmentally friendly raw materials and preparation processes to reduce energy consumption and emissions during production. For example, using biomass fibers as reinforcing materials not only improves the properties of gypsum board, but also realizes the resource utilization of waste. In addition, by optimizing the production process and flow, the generation and emission of wastewater, waste gas and solid waste can be reduced, realizing the green and sustainable development of gypsum board production.

[0004] Phosphogypsum is a by-product of industrial production of phosphate fertilizer. In China, nearly 50 million tons of phosphogypsum are produced annually, and only about 20% of it is utilized. A large amount of untreated phosphogypsum is stacked, filled and directly discharged, polluting land and water resources. Making full use of phosphogypsum can not only protect the environment and realize resource reuse, but also promote economic development. As an industrial waste, phosphogypsum can be processed into hemihydrate calcium sulfate through a series of treatments and produce different crystals according to different treatment methods. These treated phosphogypsum can fully replace natural gypsum for production and be used to manufacture fiber gypsum board. In the production process of phosphogypsum-based fiber gypsum board, the performance of the board can be further improved by adding reinforcing modifiers and other methods. For example, using BCL emulsion to modify phosphogypsum-based rice straw fiber board can significantly improve the static bending strength of the board and reduce the water absorption rate, making it meet the national gypsum building material standard. In addition, phosphogypsum can be combined with agricultural residues to produce new green building materials such as phosphogypsum-based plant fiber board. This kind of board not only has environmental friendliness, but also can bring good economic, environmental and social benefits in practical applications.

[0005] With the in-depth research and continuous progress of technology, the technology of making fiber gypsum board with phosphogypsum will be more mature and perfect, providing more green, environmentally friendly and high-performance building material choices for the development of the construction industry. At the same time, this will also promote the comprehensive utilization of phosphogypsum, reduce the emission of industrial waste and realize the sustainable utilization of resources. Therefore, we propose a preparation method and application of phosphogypsum-based fiber board made of waste paper fiber. Summary of the Invention
