Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of landfill hazardous waste treatment, and in particular to a spray soaking device and method for solidifying heavy metals in waste catalysts. Background Art
[0002] At present, there are two main types of hazardous waste landfills, namely flexible and rigid landfills. Flexible landfills have been widely used due to their low cost, relatively mature technology and simple operation. However, the requirements for incoming waste are relatively strict. A large part of hazardous waste requires pretreatment measures such as stabilization or solidification before entering the landfill. The main form of disposal process for stabilized or solidified waste is cement and chelating agent solidification. For heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic that are particularly difficult to treat, the amount of solidifying agent used is high, the operating cost is also high, and the disposal efficiency is low. Therefore, we proposed a spray soaking device and method for solidifying heavy metals in waste catalysts. The process can replace the traditional cement solidification of large blocks and granular catalysts by spraying lime water to fully contact and soak the waste in spiral stirring. This process is aimed at wastes with excessive toxic leaching (heavy metals, corrosive pH), especially for heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic that are particularly difficult to treat. It not only reduces the amount of solidifying agent used and reduces operating costs, but also greatly improves disposal efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0044] refer to Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , the spray dosing system includes a transverse main pipe 8, a branch pipe 9, a spray pipe 10 and a solid conical nozzle 11. The transverse main pipe 8 is located on the upper side of the feed hopper 2, and the medicine box 6 and the water tank 7 are connected to the transverse main pipe 8 with a dosing pipe 18 and a water inlet pipe 19 respectively.

[0045] By starting the dosing pump and the control valve, the medicine and water in the medicine box 6 and the water tank 7 can be mixed in the horizontal main pipe through the dosing pipe 18 and the water inlet pipe 19 respectively. At the same time, the waste in the conveying bucket 2 can be evenly sprayed through the U-shaped groove through multiple branch pipes 9, multiple spray pipes 10 and multiple solid cone nozzles 11.
[0046] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The effective spray length of the spray dosing system is 4.5m and the width is 600mm, with an effective area of 2.4m 2The effective residence time of waste is 10s.

[0050] By starting the drive motor 16, the drive motor 16 can drive the spiral rotating transmission shaft 3 to rotate through the reducer 17, so that the waste in the feed hopper 2 can be fully stirred and transported. At the same time, the power of the drive motor 16 is 22kw, and the reducer 17 is equipped to make the speed of the spiral rotating transmission shaft 3 15r / min, which greatly increases the torque and can also process waste with higher hardness such as slag, greatly reducing the occurrence of faults such as jamming, and can reach an output of 30 tons / hour.
[0051] A spray soaking method for solidifying heavy metals in spent catalysts uses a spray soaking device for solidifying heavy metals in spent catalysts in the above-mentioned scheme, comprising the following steps:
[0052] Step 1. According to the appearance properties of the materials, estimate how much lime water is needed to completely mix and react with the waste, and select different process parameters according to different waste materials. First, small pieces of catalyst, small pieces of sludge, small pieces of solid waste residue, etc. are of the same order of magnitude, and 0.08-0.1 times of 10% concentration of lime water is required; second, zinc slag, granular catalyst, granular sludge and other wastes are of the same order of magnitude, and about 0.1-0.12 times of 10% concentration of lime water is required; third, zinc ash, zinc dust, fine powder sludge, dust removal ash and other wastes are of the same order of magnitude, and 0.15-0.20 times of 10% concentration of lime water is required. The amount of lime water added can also be further adjusted according to the appearance properties of the waste discharge so that the lime water can fully contact and react with the materials;
[0053] Step 2: respectively put waste with a small amount of excessive poisonous corrosiveness, waste with a small amount of excessive heavy metals, and waste with a small amount of excessive inorganic fluoride into the device. During the spiral stirring process, the Ca2+ and OH- ions in the lime water can react with the H+, heavy metals, and inorganic fluorides in the waste as follows: H+ and OH- in the lime water undergo a neutralization reaction (H++OH-=H2O); the hydroxide solubility product constant Ksp of heavy metals (class one: cadmium, lead; class two: nickel, zinc, etc.) is extremely small, and such heavy metals are very easy to combine with OH- to form a precipitate; F- fully reacts with the Ca2+ in the lime water (F-+Ca2+=CaF2↓) to form a CaF2 precipitate that is insoluble in water; waste with the above characteristics is put into this device, and after the lime water is fully contacted and reacted with the waste in the spray stirring process, the effects of neutralizing acidity, removing heavy metals, and removing inorganic fluorides can be achieved.
[0054] Step 3: Stabilization and curing: The waste after reaction is collected in an iron trough 12 and sent to a curing workshop for curing for 24 to 48 hours.
[0055] Step 4: Sample testing: After curing, take samples to the laboratory for waste toxicity leaching testing for the indicators required for entering the landfill;
[0056] Step 5. Safe landfill: Test all indicators of the waste and landfill it safely after it is fully qualified.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] This solidification process can remove heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, nickel, and zinc in toxic leaching, but it is not limited to such heavy metals, such as copper and chromium, because the Ksp of hydroxides of copper, chromium, etc. is much smaller than the Ksp of zinc, and they are more likely to form precipitation with hydroxide than zinc. Among them, copper is a relatively precious heavy metal and is inactive. Wastes containing copper with excessive toxicity are rare and are, in principle, suitable for the spray solidification process of the present invention. Wastes with only excessive chromium can be removed by this process, while wastes with excessive hexavalent chromium need to be solidified by adding ferrous water.
[0059] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
