Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of separation and utilization technology, specifically to a method for preparing an inorganic ecological stone based on oily sludge. Background Technology
[0002] Oily sludge is mainly oily solid waste generated during the extraction, transportation, storage and refining of petroleum. It has a complex composition, containing multiple oily substances, suspended solids and a large amount of toxic substances such as benzene and phenols, which can cause harm to human health, ecology and environment. Therefore, it has been included in the "National Hazardous Waste List".
[0003] The treatment and disposal of oily sludge must meet the development requirements of sustainable resource utilization while simultaneously achieving the dual goals of harmless disposal and resource utilization. In the application of oily sludge treatment technologies, on the one hand, the stable water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion, oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion, or complex multiple emulsion structures formed by water, oil, and solid particles in oily sludge significantly increase the difficulty of separating the oil-water-solid three-phase system. On the other hand, due to the high proportion of petroleum hydrocarbons in oily sludge and their significant environmental hazards, oily sludge treatment technologies primarily focus on the recovery of petroleum hydrocarbons from the oil phase, while the disposal of the solid phase mainly employs methods such as landfill or biological treatment, with relatively few technologies for resource utilization.
[0004] In the prior art, Chinese invention patent CN 116924648A discloses a method for treating oily sludge, which involves mixing oily sludge, demulsifier and flocculant to achieve three-phase separation to obtain water, oil and solidified oily sludge, mixing solidified oily sludge with coal-water slurry and settling to obtain oily sludge-coal-water slurry and remaining oily sludge, and then incinerating the oily sludge to convert it into products such as gas and ash.
[0005] Chinese invention patent CN 118388179A discloses a method for preparing road base concrete based on oily sludge. This invention involves drying the oily sludge, adding modified diatomaceous earth as a catalyst for pyrolysis to obtain pyrolysis residue, and then mixing the pyrolysis residue, fly ash, silica fume, and cement to process it into road base concrete. Testing showed that the maximum 28-day strength of the standard concrete specimen was 44 MPa.
[0006] Most existing technologies for the comprehensive resource utilization of oily sludge, as shown in the aforementioned patents, primarily focus on the recovery and utilization of crude oil resources within the sludge. The remaining solid phase is typically incinerated or landfilled, lacking the resource utilization of the solid phase within the oily sludge. Furthermore, the utilization of the remaining solid phase after treatment requires further processing using high-temperature pyrolysis or incineration to obtain residues or ash. However, high-temperature pyrolysis or incineration processes are complex, energy-intensive, demanding on equipment, and pose a risk of secondary pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, in S3, the mass ratio of the solid slurry, silicate cement, curing compound agent, and aggregate is 30-60:15-30:4-15:15-30.
[0017] Furthermore, in S3, the curing compound is a mixture of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, silica fume and steel slag powder in a mass ratio of 5-10:5-10:15-25:5-10:45-60, and the aggregate is medium-coarse sand.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S4, the pressure for pressing is 15–50 MPa, and the pressing time is 70–150 s.

[0050] Comparative Example 1
[0051] This comparative example provides a method for preparing an inorganic eco-stone based on oily sludge, comprising the following steps:
[0052] S1: The oily sludge obtained from the oil field after dehydration and drying is mixed with water. The oil content of the oily sludge is 8%, and the amount of water added is twice the mass of the oily sludge. After mixing evenly, it is allowed to stand naturally at room temperature for 3 hours to separate the oil phase from the liquid phase and the solid phase. The solid phase oily sludge mixture is collected, and the oil content of the solid phase oily sludge mixture is 6.64%.
[0053] S2: In this comparative example, no demulsifier was added, and the mechanical properties of the prepared inorganic eco-stone were observed to see if they decreased.
[0054] S3: By mass percentage, 60 wt% of solid oily sludge mixture, 15 wt% of silicate cement, 5 wt% of curing compound agent and 20 wt% of aggregate are mixed and stirred evenly to obtain oily sludge-based inorganic ecological stone raw material slurry. The curing compound agent is composed of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, silica fume and steel slag powder mixed in a mass ratio of 7:8:20:10:55. The aggregate is medium and coarse sand.
[0055] S4: The slurry of oily sludge-based inorganic ecological stone is pressed into shape. The pressing pressure is 30 MPa and the pressing time is 100 s. After pressing, it is placed under standard curing conditions of 20 ℃ and 100% humidity for 28 days to prepare the oily sludge-based inorganic ecological stone.
[0056] The solid mud collected according to Examples 1-4 of the present invention conforms to the standard of SY / T 7301-2016.
[0057] The compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, and dry density of the oily sludge-based inorganic ecostones prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 were tested. The test results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0058] Table 1
[0059]
[0060] As shown in Table 1, Examples 1-4 used demulsifiers to disrupt the emulsion system of oily sludge, achieving three-phase separation of oil, water, and solid phases. The compressive and flexural strengths of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared using the collected oily sludge solid phase slurry were significantly better than those of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared using the oily sludge-based sludge in Comparative Example 1 without demulsifier treatment. On the other hand, comparing the data from Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the compressive and flexural strengths of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared using oily sludge increased with decreasing oily sludge content and increasing silicate cement or aggregate content. However, both the compressive and flexural strengths of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone met the strength grade requirements of Cc50 in GB 28635-2012 standard.
[0061] In summary, by using a demulsifier to disrupt the emulsified system of oily sludge, three-phase separation of oil, water, and solid phases can be achieved. The collected oily sludge solid phase has a low oil content, meeting the standard of SY / T 7301-2016, and can be used as a raw material for inorganic eco-stone. The oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared from oily sludge exhibits excellent mechanical properties and low water absorption, making it suitable for applications in road construction, landscaping projects, and outdoor landscape design, among other scenarios. Furthermore, the preparation method described in this invention maximizes the comprehensive resource utilization of oily sludge.
[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
