Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of industrial solid waste treatment, and in particular relates to a preparation method of phosphogypsum based on the coordinated use of a curing agent and calcium hydroxide. Background Art
[0002] Phosphogypsum is a by-product of the wet process for producing phosphoric acid. Existing harmless treatment technologies include composite solidification technology.
[0003] The calcium-based composite agent used in composite curing technology is a calcium alkoxide-calcium composite synthesized from calcium oxide and ethanol. After reacting for 14 days at a 20% moisture content, it achieves a phosphorus and fluorine removal rate exceeding 90%, and its volume is reduced by 30% after curing, making it suitable for large-scale slag dump remediation. While composite curing technology effectively reduces phosphorus and fluorine concentrations and prevents aquatic pollution, ethanol itself, as a chemical substance, can pose air pollution and biosafety risks if not handled properly. During use, ethanol can evaporate, forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can pollute the atmosphere and pose health risks. The ethanol production process can involve significant energy consumption and resource waste, increasing the overall environmental burden. Ethanol is a flammable liquid, requiring strict control during its production and use, increasing transportation and storage costs. The disposal of ethanol waste also requires proper management to prevent soil and groundwater contamination.
[0004] Therefore, a method for treating phosphogypsum with low environmental impact, low cost and good treatment effect is needed.
[0005] The patent application document with the announcement number CN116571534A discloses a harmless agent for phosphogypsum and its engineering application method. The agent consists of a powder component and a liquid component; wherein the powder component consists of an alkaline component and talcum powder, and the alkaline component is at least one of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide; the liquid component is an aqueous solution of at least one of soluble iron salts, aluminum salts, and calcium salts. The method is to use a lime neutralization method including calcium oxide. The lime neutralization method is considered to be a simple and low-cost method for treating phosphogypsum, and is suitable for phosphogypsum with relatively stable quality and low organic matter content. The lime neutralization method will produce insoluble calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) and calcium fluoride (CaF2) precipitates with rough crystal morphology and unstable performance, requiring secondary treatment. The treatment process needs to be further optimized to improve resource utilization and avoid secondary pollution problems. In addition, some acidic substances (such as H + ) is neutralized, which increases the pH value of the solution and increases the difficulty of treatment.
[0006] Patent application publication number CN117819849A discloses a method for purifying and classifying low-quality, compacted phosphogypsum to produce building materials. The method comprises the following steps: 1) grinding the low-quality, compacted phosphogypsum in a ceramic ball mill to produce a phosphogypsum slurry; 2) subjecting the phosphogypsum slurry to ultrasonic cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaning machine; 3) obtaining a foam product, which is a high-silicon tailings product, and a high-purity phosphogypsum slurry, as an underflow product; 4) subjecting the high-silicon tailings to filtration in a filter, where fly ash and an alkali activator are added to produce a phosphogypsum-based polymer; and 5) filtering the high-purity phosphogypsum slurry through a filter, drying it in an oven, and finally calcining it in a calciner to produce high-quality β-hemihydrate gypsum powder. This method requires ultrasonic cleaning and high-temperature calcination, resulting in a processing cost exceeding 200 yuan per ton of phosphogypsum, making it relatively cost-effective.
