Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial solid waste co-treatment and resource utilization technology, specifically relating to a treatment method and application of heavy metal stabilization red mud based on multi-component solid waste synergy. Background Technology

[0002] Red mud is a highly alkaline solid waste generated during the production of alumina from bauxite. According to statistics from the International Aluminium Institute, approximately 1-2 tons of red mud are generated for every ton of alumina produced, with global annual emissions exceeding 150 million tons and cumulative stockpiles exceeding 4 billion tons. Red mud contains heavy metals such as Al, As, Cd, Cr, Li, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, and V, which can easily migrate and spread through infiltration and dust during long-term storage, posing a serious threat to the surrounding soil-groundwater ecosystem.

[0003] The current red mud heavy metal treatment technology mainly faces the following technical bottlenecks: (1) Chemical stabilization method: It requires the addition of chemical agents such as phosphates and silicates. Although it is effective in the short term, it has problems such as high treatment cost and the possibility of secondary pollution caused by agent residue; (2) Solidification / stabilization technology: It uses cement and other cementitious materials for solidification, which leads to an increase in treatment volume of 30%-50%, and there is a risk of cracking of solidified body and re-dissolution of heavy metals under long-term exposure; (3) Heat treatment method: It requires maintaining a high temperature of above 800℃, with energy consumption as high as 150-200kWh / ton, and some heavy metals (such as As and Pb) are easy to volatilize at high temperatures; (4) Single stabilizer method: It has poor adaptability to multi-metal complex pollution systems. For example, common passivating agents are effective for Cd but not for Cr.

[0004] On the other hand, the treatment of solid wastes such as contaminated soil (AS) from coal mines, distiller's grains (DG), and acidic biochar (AB) made from rice husk waste also faces technical and economic challenges. These wastes have unique physicochemical properties: AS is rich in iron and manganese oxides, DG contains a large number of organic functional groups, and AB has a well-developed porous structure and surface acidic sites. How to construct a synergistic treatment system of "waste-to-waste" through the principles of materials science and interface chemistry to achieve the dual goals of harmless treatment of red mud and resource utilization of other solid wastes has become a key scientific problem that urgently needs to be solved in the fields of environmental engineering and circular economy.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention constructs a three-in-one technical system integrating "materials-proportioning-process" to achieve efficient stabilization of multi-metal composite pollution in red mud, while simultaneously enabling the synergistic resource utilization of various solid wastes. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the technical bottlenecks of existing red mud treatment technologies, such as low treatment efficiency, high cost, and significant risk of secondary pollution, by innovatively proposing a method for stabilizing red mud with heavy metals based on the synergistic effect of multiple solid wastes, and its application. This method achieves efficient stabilization of multi-metal complex pollution in red mud by constructing a three-in-one technical system of "materials-proportioning-process," while simultaneously realizing the synergistic resource utilization of various solid wastes.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for treating red mud with heavy metal stabilization based on the synergistic effect of multiple solid wastes, which uses four types of solid wastes—coal mine soil, distiller's grains, acidic biochar, and garden soil—as stabilizers, and reduces the water-extractable content of heavy metals in red mud through the combined addition of multiple materials.

[0008] The processing method is specifically carried out according to the following steps:

[0009] (1) Soil pretreatment in coal mining areas: Soil from coal mining areas is dried at 55-65℃ until the moisture content is <5%, and then passed through a 1.5-2.5mm sieve to obtain pretreated soil from coal mining areas;

[0010] (2) Garden soil pretreatment: Take garden soil and dry it at 55-65℃ until the moisture content is <5%, and pass it through a 1.5-2.5mm sieve to obtain pretreated garden soil;

[0011] (3) Pretreatment of distiller's grains: Dry the distiller's grains at 55-65℃ until the moisture content is <5%, crush them and pass them through a 1.5-2.5mm sieve to obtain pretreated distiller's grains;

[0012] (4) Preparation of acidic biochar: Rice husks are passed through a 1.5-2.5 mm sieve and then immersed in a 0.1 mol / L ferrous sulfate solution and left to stand for 7-9 h. The ratio of rice husks to 0.1 mol / L ferrous sulfate solution is 0.8-1.2 g: 8-12 mL to obtain pretreated rice husks. The pretreated rice husks are dried at 55-65℃ until the moisture content is <5%. Then, they are placed in a carbonization furnace and heated to 450-550℃ at a heating rate of 9-11℃ / min under nitrogen protection. The temperature is maintained at 450-550℃ for stable carbonization for 1.5-2.5 h. After heating is stopped, the experimental furnace is cooled to room temperature, and the furnace is opened to discharge the material to obtain acidic biochar.

[0013] (5) Mixed curing and maturation: Take red mud and add 0.8-1.2wt% of pretreated coal mining soil, 0.8-1.2wt% of pretreated garden soil, 0.8-1.2wt% of pretreated distiller's grains and 0.8-1.2wt% of acidic biochar. Add deionized water and adjust the moisture content to 55-65%. Cure at 20-30℃ for 28-32 days to obtain heavy metal stabilized red mud.

[0014] In step (1) above, the soil from the coal mining area is dried at 60°C until the moisture content is <5%, and then passed through a 2mm sieve to obtain pretreated coal mining area soil; the total amount of iron and manganese oxides in the coal mining area soil is ≥7wt%, of which Fe2O3 is ≥5wt% and MnO2 is ≥2wt%.

[0015] In step (2) above, garden soil is dried at 60°C until the moisture content is <5%, and then passed through a 2mm sieve to obtain pretreated garden soil; the garden soil is topsoil with a plant growth history and contains organic matter ≥2wt%.

[0016] Specifically, in step (2) above, the topsoil is taken from a location no less than 20cm below the ground surface.

[0017] In step (3) above, the lees are pretreated by drying the lees at 60°C until the moisture content is less than 5%, crushing them and passing them through a 2mm sieve to obtain pretreated lees.

[0018] In step (4) above, the preparation of acidic biochar is as follows: rice husks are passed through a 2mm sieve and then immersed in a 0.1mol / L ferrous sulfate solution and left to stand for 8 hours. The ratio of rice husks to 0.1mol / L ferrous sulfate solution is 1g:10mL to obtain pretreated rice husks. The pretreated rice husks are dried at 60℃ until the moisture content is <5%, and then placed in a carbonization furnace and heated to 500℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min under nitrogen protection. The temperature is maintained at 500℃ for stable carbonization for 2 hours. After heating is stopped, the experimental furnace is cooled to room temperature, and the furnace is opened to discharge the material, thus obtaining acidic biochar.

[0019] In the aforementioned step (5), the mixture is cured and matured: take red mud and add 1 wt% of pretreated coal mine soil, 1 wt% of pretreated garden soil, 1 wt% of pretreated distiller's grains and 1 wt% of acidic biochar to mix, add deionized water, adjust the moisture content to 60%, and cure at 25℃ for 30 days to obtain heavy metal stabilized red mud.

This invention pioneers a quaternary combined stabilization process, "AS-DG-AB-GS," which constructs a multi-level stabilization system through the synergistic effect of various solid wastes.
