Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the pyrometallurgical process in the metallurgical field, and particularly to a method capable of simultaneously realizing the recovery of valuable metals in copper-nickel-containing sludge and the harmless treatment of slag. Technical Background

[0002] Electroplating sludge is a flocculent precipitate produced by treating electroplating wastewater, and has characteristics such as high water content, strong mobility of heavy metal components, and low crystallinity. It is not only a hazardous solid waste but also a secondary resource with great recycling value. At present, the recovery methods of valuable metals in electroplating sludge include wet process, pyrometallurgical process, and pyrometallurgical-wet process combined technology.

[0003] Chinese Patent [A method for comprehensively recovering valuable metals in electroplating sludge, CN108754150A] leaches electroplating sludge with sulfuric acid, then separates the acid leaching residue and acid leaching solution. Iron powder is added to the acid leaching solution for replacement filtration separation to obtain copper powder and mother liquor. Then, hydrogen peroxide, sodium carbonate solution, and composite flocculant are added to the mother liquor to control the pH to form hydroxide precipitates of iron and chromium ions, and the chromium-iron slag and the mother liquor containing zinc and nickel are separated and then zinc and nickel are separated by extraction. However, it is difficult to separate chromium and iron in the wet leaching solution of electroplating sludge. To solve this problem, Chinese Patent [A method for recovering chromium in electroplating sludge by sub-molten salt method, CN109280776B] proposes a pyrometallurgical-wet process combined technology. This process fully stirs and mixes electroplating sludge with an alkali solution (NaOH or KOH solution) to form a sludge slurry, then dries it to dry sludge with a water content of less than 20%, roasts it at 280-580°C, and then leaches and recovers chromium with water or weak acid aqueous solution, and the recovery rate of chromium can be greater than 90%.

[0004] The wet process and the combined pyro-hydrometallurgical process can effectively extract valuable elements from electroplating sludge, but there are problems such as high toxicity of leaching residues and difficult wastewater treatment. The pyro-metallurgical process has the characteristics of simple process and large processing capacity, and can effectively recycle valuable elements from low-chromium electroplating sludge [Gong Ao et al., Carbothermal reduction-low-carbon refining treatment of copper-containing sludge to separate and enrich valuable metals. The Chinese Journal of Nonferrous Metals, 2020; 30: 2178-2189]. However, the presence of high-melting-point elements such as Cr and Ni in copper-nickel electroplating sludge makes smelting treatment difficult. Aiming at the problem of difficult smelting of copper-nickel electroplating sludge, the Chinese patent [A method for harmless treatment of electroplating sludge, CN110951966A] mixes electroplating sludge, quartz sand and a reducing agent in a certain proportion, and conducts reduction smelting at a high temperature of 1350-1600°C. More than 90% of Cu and Ni can be enriched in the alloy, but Cr and Fe also enter the alloy synchronously, resulting in difficult subsequent separation. Chinese patents [A method for treating electroplating sludge with gypsum slag, CN111826522A; A method for treating electroplating sludge by bottom-blown bath smelting process, CN111041213A] adopt the method of adding a large amount of fluxes containing Fe, Si and Ca to reduce the influence of high-melting-point metals such as Cr and Ni on the smelting system, and can smelt and treat electroplating sludge between 1050-1350°C, but no reduction treatment is achieved. Aiming at the problem of too high smelting temperature of nickel-containing electroplating sludge, the Chinese patent [A method for sulfurizing roasting-alkaline smelting to separate nickel from nickel-containing sludge, CN111394597A] uses sulfur slag as a sulfurizing agent, conducts sulfurizing roasting to obtain roasted ore, and the tail gas is absorbed by sodium hydroxide solution, and sodium salt crystals and mother liquor are obtained by crystallization separation. Then, the crystals are mixed with the roasted ore, sodium hydroxide and pulverized coal for alkaline smelting, and the Ni recovery rate reaches more than 97%. Although this method reduces the smelting temperature, it will produce alkali slag at the same time, and its environmental toxicity is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering valuable metals from copper-nickel electroplating sludge by low-temperature pyro-metallurgy and simultaneously realizing harmless disposal of the sludge.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above purpose is: mixing copper-nickel electroplating sludge with additives such as a reducing agent, a slag-forming agent, a sulfurizing agent and an alkaline substance for batching, then placing it in a smelting furnace for alkaline matte smelting, and separating matte and smelting slag after slow cooling. After further treatment of the matte, separation and purification are realized, and high-efficiency recovery of Cu and Ni is achieved. The leaching toxicity of the slag meets the national standard and can be used as a building material.

[0007] The specific process and technical parameters are as follows:

[0008] 1. Batching

[0009] Weigh the copper-nickel electroplating sludge together with additives such as reducing agents, slag-forming agents, sulfiding agents, and alkaline fluxes. Control the mass of the reducing agent added to be 3-8% of the mass of the electroplating sludge. The mass of the slag-forming agent added should meet the initial requirements of the smelting slag type, with the mass ratio of FeO to SiO2 being 1.0-2.0:1 and the mass ratio of CaO to SiO2 being 0.3-0.8:1. Control the addition amount of the sulfiding agent to be 3-10% of the mass of the electroplating sludge, and control the addition amount of the alkaline flux to be 20-40% of the mass of the electroplating sludge. Control the mass ratio of Na to S in the mixture of the electroplating sludge and additives to be 1-6:1. Then, fully mix the electroplating sludge and additives evenly and granulate, controlling the mass percentage of water in the granulated material to be 8-15%.

[0010] 2. Alkaline matte smelting

[0011] Add the granulated material into the smelting furnace, control the temperature to be 800-1250°C, control the liquid level height of the matte layer in the lower layer of the furnace to be 200-400 mm, and the liquid level height of the slag layer in the upper layer of the furnace to be 400-800 mm. Inject an oxygen-enriched air with a volume concentration of natural gas and oxygen of 70-85% at a position 50-100 mm above the interface between the smelting slag layer and the matte layer. The volume-mass ratio of the injected natural gas to the granulated material is 60-100 NM 3 / t, and the volume-mass ratio of oxygen to the granulated material is 120-200 Nm 3 / t. Set a secondary tuyere 600-800 mm above the smelting furnace and inject an oxygen-enriched air with an oxygen volume concentration of 23-50%. The amount of oxygen-enriched air is 150-220 Nm 3 / t. Smelt for 2-6 h under the above conditions, and then discharge the matte and slag into a matte ladle and a slag ladle respectively. The reactions occurring in this process are as follows:

[0012] Cu2O + S + C = Cu2S + CO↑ (1)

[0013] 3NiO + 2S + 3C = Ni3S2 + 3CO↑ (2)

[0014] Fe2O3 + S + 3C = Fe2S + 3CO↑ (3)

[0015] 2Na2CO3 + 2S + C = 2Na2S + 3CO2↑ (4)

[0016] CH4 + 2O2 = CO2↑ + 2H2O↑ (5)

[0017] C + O2 = CO↑ (6)

[0018] 3. Slow cooling of slag

[0019] Slowly cool the slag, control the cooling rate of the slag to be 2-5°C / min until it cools to room temperature.

[0020] The reducing agent is one or more of pulverized coal or coke, wherein the particle size of the pulverized coal is required to be 0.1 - 5 mm, and the fixed carbon content by mass percentage is ≥ 55%; the particle size of the coke is required to be 3 - 20 mm, and the fixed carbon content by mass percentage is ≥ 80%.

[0021] The slag former is one or more of quartz sand and limestone, wherein the mass percentage content of SiO2 in the quartz sand is ≥ 90%, and the mass percentage content of CaO in the limestone is ≥ 99%.

[0022] The sulfiding agent is one or more of sulfur or sulfur-containing slag, with an S content ≥ 80%.

[0023] The basic flux is one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, and sodium sulfate.

[0024] The mass content range of elements in the copper-nickel electroplating sludge described is as follows: Fe 10.0% - 25.0%, Cu 0.5% - 15.0%, Ni 0.5% - 20.0%, Cr 4% - 18.0%, Si 0.5% - 5.0%, Ca 0.5% - 15.0%, Zn 0.1% - 5.0%, Al 0.5% - 5.0%, Pb 0.5% - 2.0%, S 0.5% - 5.0%, Na 0.5% - 5.0%.

[0025] The present invention has the following advantages compared with other pyrometallurgical treatment technologies for electroplating sludge:

[0026] (1) By controlling the smelting atmosphere and regulating the composition of the smelting system, basic copper-nickel matte smelting of copper-nickel electroplating sludge is carried out, and the smelting temperature can be reduced to below 1250 °C, reducing the energy consumption during the smelting process;

[0027] (2) Realize the reduction treatment of copper-nickel electroplating sludge and the enrichment of valuable elements. Among them, the matte enriches more than 95% of Cu and more than 90% of Ni, and the slag enriches more than 99% of Cr, improving the subsequent separation efficiency;

[0028] (3) By slow cooling of the slag, Cu, Ni, and Cr in the slag are stored in the spinel phase, realizing the harmlessness of the basic smelting slag. The TCLP test results of the smelting slag show that it is lower than the standard value of "Identification Standard for Toxicity of Leaching of Hazardous Wastes - GB5085.3 - 2007";

[0029] (4) The raw materials of the present invention have strong adaptability, high recovery efficiency of valuable metals, and low labor intensity. Description of the Drawings
