Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of industrial solid waste resourceization and carbon sequestration, in particular to a method for carbon sequestration of CO2 by carbonate mineralization based on vanadium-containing shale tailings. BACKGROUND

[0002] CO2 sequestration technology is a key means to address global climate change and achieve the "double carbon" goal. Carbonate mineralization sequestration has become a research hotspot in recent years due to its high product stability and no leakage risk. This technology reacts CO2 with minerals rich in alkaline metal elements such as calcium and magnesium to generate stable carbonate solids, achieving long-term fixation of CO2. Vanadium-containing shale tailings, as solid waste generated during the mining and smelting of vanadium ore, produce about 100-150 tons of tailings per ton of vanadium product, with a cumulative stockpile exceeding 100 million tons. Not only does it occupy a large amount of land resources, but it also easily pollutes soil and groundwater with heavy metal ions such as vanadium and iron leached by rainwater, causing serious ecological risks. At the same time, vanadium-containing shale tailings contain 20-35% of alkaline components such as CaO and MgO, which have natural conditions for mineralization reaction with CO2. If they can be used for CO2 sequestration, they can achieve dual benefits of "waste disposal-carbon sequestration" and meet the needs of circular economy development.

[0003] Current carbonate mineralization CO2 sequestration technology based on industrial solid waste still has many technical bottlenecks. In the tailings pretreatment stage, traditional processes mostly use single crushing or simple acid-base soaking, without considering the influence of tailings particle size distribution on reaction activity, resulting in low dissolution efficiency of alkaline components in tailings and slow subsequent mineralization reaction rate. Although some processes introduce activators, they are mostly single sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, which cannot effectively destroy the dense structure of silicate and aluminate minerals in the tailings, and the activation process lacks auxiliary strengthening means, with an activation efficiency generally lower than 60%. In addition, the problem of vanadium ion dissolution in raw vanadium-containing shale tailings has not been paid attention to, and direct use for mineralization may lead to excessive heavy metals in the product, limiting subsequent resource utilization.

[0004] In terms of mineralization reaction system construction and reaction control, existing technologies mostly use single solid-liquid ratio and constant temperature and pressure reaction conditions, without dynamically adjusting parameters according to CO2 dissolution kinetics and mineral reaction characteristics, resulting in low CO2 mass transfer efficiency and incomplete mineralization. For example, the solubility of CO2 is low under low temperature and pressure conditions, and the reaction rate is slow. Although high temperature and pressure can improve reaction efficiency, the energy consumption is too high, with unit CO2 sequestration energy consumption often exceeding 300 kWh / ton, which is economically inefficient. At the same time, the selection of catalysts is mostly traditional metal oxides, which have problems such as poor dispersibility and low catalytic activity, making it difficult to significantly improve the reaction rate, and lacking precise control of the pH value of the reaction system, which may lead to carbonate dissolution due to too low pH value, reducing the sequestration efficiency.

[0005] The product processing and resource recycling link also has short boards. Traditional processes mostly use single filtration method to separate mineralized products, which cannot realize coarse and fine particle classification, and the product purity and uniformity are poor, which is difficult to be resource utilization as building aggregate and the like. The filtrate treatment is mostly discharged after simple neutralization, which not only wastes water resources, but also leads to loss of useful components such as activators, thereby increasing the process cost. In addition, the existing technology pays insufficient attention to the later maintenance of the mineralized product, and the product has low compressive strength and is easy to be broken in the storage or utilization process, thereby having the risk of secondary pollution.

[0006] From the industry application, the existing carbonate mineralization technology mostly focuses on steel slag, fly ash and other solid wastes, and there are few special technologies for vanadium-containing shale tailings, and a whole-process closed-loop system of "tailings pretreatment-reaction control-product utilization-filtrate circulation" has not been formed, which limits the industrial application of the technology. In summary, it is urgent to develop a CO2 sequestration method capable of realizing efficient activation of vanadium-containing shale tailings, rapid mineralization of CO2, high-value utilization of products and whole-process resource recycling, so as to break through the current technical bottleneck and promote the collaborative development of solid waste resource utilization and carbon sequestration industry.

[0030] (III) Beneficial technical effects

[0031] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0032] 1. By using the hierarchical crushing ball milling and composite activator synergistic ultrasonic activation technology, combined with the optimization of the mixing ratio according to the particle size distribution difference of the tailings, the dense structure of the tailings can be fully destroyed, the dissolution of the alkaline components is promoted, and the risk of vanadium ion dissolution is reduced through the oxalic acid conditioning before pretreatment, which lays a foundation for the subsequent mineralization reaction and safe use of the product. Compared with the traditional single pretreatment method, the tailings are more fully activated, and the problem of heavy metal pollution is avoided, which widens the resource utilization scene of the product.

[0033] 2. The introduction of the modified catalyst significantly improves the CO2 conversion efficiency. Its unique loading structure enhances the catalytic activity and dispersion. Combined with the double circulation reaction system and nitrogen deoxidation operation, it provides a stable environment for mineralization reaction. The gradient pressure reaction mode dynamically adjusts the temperature, pressure and CO2 input rate according to the reaction stage, taking into account the reaction efficiency and energy consumption control, avoiding the problem of high energy consumption or incomplete reaction caused by traditional constant parameters. At the same time, the pH value automatic supplement system ensures that the reaction system is always in the appropriate alkaline range, preventing the dissolution of carbonates and ensuring the CO2 storage effect.

[0034] 3. The gradient separation technology realizes the classification of coarse and fine particles, and improves the product purity and mechanical properties through post-curing treatment, so that the composite carbonate can be used as building aggregate and other high-value utilization, instead of simple landfill disposal, improving the resource value of solid waste. The closed-loop treatment of filtrate realizes water resource and activator recovery through electrodialysis desalination. The concentrated water is used for pretreatment after supplementing the activator, and the fresh water is used for slurry preparation, forming a whole process water and reagent circulation, greatly reducing water consumption and reagent waste, reducing process cost, and meeting the green production concept.

[0035] 4. The double aeration disc is used to optimize the CO2 mass transfer path and improve the gas utilization rate. Inert atmosphere protection prevents the oxidation of reducing components in tailings, ensuring the stability of the reaction. Cross-flow filtration extends the service life of ceramic membranes and reduces equipment maintenance costs. Overall, this method realizes the multiple goals of efficient disposal of vanadium-containing shale tailings, stable CO2 storage, high-value utilization of products, and resource recycling, taking into account ecological, economic and social benefits. It provides a feasible technical path for the coordinated development of solid waste resource utilization and carbon sequestration, and has broad industrial application prospects.
