Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas extraction, specifically to a method for preparing ceramsite proppant, which overcomes the problem of efficient conversion of secondary aluminum ash, and cleverly and efficiently converts secondary aluminum ash into ceramsite proppant for application in the field of oil and gas extraction, opening up a new path for the deep processing and utilization of solid waste. Background Technology

[0002] In the complex process of aluminum smelting, bauxite undergoes high-temperature smelting and casting to produce primary aluminum ash. For a long time, production companies have strived to recover valuable metallic aluminum from this primary aluminum ash. Subsequently, this pre-processed aluminum ash, after cooling, is sent to a fine grinding process, where aluminum particles are further separated using screening technology. The remaining fine ash is the troublesome secondary aluminum ash. According to the strict definition in the "National Hazardous Waste List," secondary aluminum ash is clearly marked as hazardous waste because it contains a series of toxic and harmful substances that pose a serious threat to the ecological environment, such as fluorides, cyanides, aluminum carbide, and aluminum nitride. Any oversight during the treatment process can cause secondary aluminum ash to get out of control, causing incalculable pollution to soil, water bodies, and other ecosystems, seriously endangering ecological balance and human health.

[0003] In the current field of ceramsite proppant preparation, bauxite occupies a core position as the main raw material due to its unique physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, to achieve the environmental goal of solid waste resource utilization, industrial solid wastes such as iron tailings, red soil, shale, and fly ash are also widely incorporated into the formulation system. This diversified approach not only effectively reduces the heavy environmental pressure of industrial solid waste but also optimizes the performance of ceramsite proppants to a certain extent, enabling them to function more stably and efficiently in complex and demanding industrial scenarios such as oil and gas extraction. However, secondary aluminum ash, as a potential high-quality raw material, could potentially replace bauxite in traditional preparation processes through a scientific and rigorous harmless treatment process. This would break through the current predicament, completely solving the persistent pollution problem of secondary aluminum ash and greatly expanding the raw material sources for ceramsite proppants, injecting strong momentum into the sustainable development of industry. This has far-reaching significance and far-reaching impact. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method for preparing ceramsite proppant.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for preparing a ceramic proppant includes the following steps:

[0007] Pre-treated and modified secondary aluminum ash is subjected to magnetic separation to remove residual magnetic substances; the magnetically separated secondary aluminum ash is mixed with a modifier and heat-treated at 300-400 ℃ for 2-3 h.

[0008] The compounding and grinding process involves mixing pretreated and modified secondary aluminum ash with red mud, pyrite slag, waste glass powder, silicon carbide micro powder, and nano-attapulgite clay in a specific ratio. The secondary aluminum ash comprises 30%-60%, red mud 10%-20%, pyrite slag 5%-15%, waste glass powder 10%-25%, silicon carbide micro powder 5%-15%, and nano-attapulgite clay 5%-15%. The mixed material is then ground using a planetary high-energy ball mill to achieve a particle size of 800-1000 mesh.

[0009] The material after low-temperature pre-calcination and activation grinding is pre-calcined at 600-700 ℃ for 3-5 h; the pre-calcined material is mixed with an activator and then activated by secondary grinding in a ball mill for 1-5 h.

[0010] Segmented calcination and crystal phase control: The activated material is placed in a rotary kiln for segmented calcination; first, the temperature is raised to 900-1000 ℃ and held for 2-4 h; then the temperature is raised to 1300-1400 ℃ and held for 2-3 h.

[0011] Spray granulation and surface treatment: After cooling, the calcined material is sprayed into a granulation tower through a high-pressure nozzle for spray granulation, with the hot air temperature controlled at 200-250 ℃. The granulated particles are then soaked in a solution containing nano-silica sol and carbon quantum dots for 1-2 hours, dried at 100-120 ℃, and sieved to obtain the ceramsite proppant. The solution containing nano-silica sol and carbon quantum dots is obtained by mixing carbon quantum dot dispersion and nano-silica sol in a 1:1 ratio.

[0012] Preparation method of carbon quantum dots: Take 2000 mL of 1 mol / L citric acid solution and add it to a 5000 mL high-pressure reactor. Heat to 180 °C and react at this temperature for 24 hours to obtain a carbon quantum dot dispersion.

[0013] Preparation method of nano-silica sol: Dilute water glass (Na2O·nSiO2) to a SiO2 content of 3%-10% and adjust the pH to 9-11; pass the sol through an H-type cation exchange resin column to replace Na2O. + The formation of silicic acid (H₂SiO₃) (Na₂O⋅nSiO₂ + 2H⁺ → nH₂SiO₃ + 2Na) + →nH2SiO3+2Na +); Silicic acid condenses into SiO2 nanoparticles under alkaline conditions (pH 8.5-10.5) to form a sol; concentration; vacuum evaporation or ultrafiltration to concentrate to the required concentration (10-50%).

[0014] In the pretreatment and modification steps, the modifiers are phosphoric acid and boric acid, and the mass ratio of secondary aluminum ash to modifier is (10-15):1.

[0015] In the compounding and grinding steps, the ball-to-material ratio is (8-10):1, and the grinding time is 4-6 h; the particle size of silicon carbide micro powder is 300-500 mesh and the particle size of nano-attapulgite is 20-50 nm (diameter).

[0016] In the low-temperature pre-calcination and activation steps, the activator is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and the mass ratio of the pre-calcined material to the activator is 100:(5-8).

[0017] In the steps of segmented calcination and crystal phase control, the heating rate is 5-8℃ / min.

[0018] In the spray granulation and surface treatment steps, silica sol is prepared by hydrolysis of sodium silicate, and carbon quantum dot solution is prepared by hydrothermal synthesis of organic precursor. The silica sol and carbon quantum dot solution are mixed to obtain a solution containing nano silica sol and carbon quantum dots.

[0019] This invention has outstanding substantive features and significant progress compared with the prior art. Specifically, this invention provides a method for preparing ceramsite proppant, which uses secondary aluminum ash, red mud, pyrite slag, waste glass powder, silicon carbide micro powder, and nano-attapulgite clay as the main raw materials to prepare ceramsite proppant, greatly expanding the raw material sources of ceramsite proppant.
