TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization and recycling of industrial solid waste resources, and particularly relates to a kind of iron-containing material recovered from iron powder sludge and its recycling method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Iron powder is often used as a reducing agent in the process of producing titanium dioxide by sulfuric acid method. In the process of producing iron powder, during the washing and sorting stage, non-iron-containing materials with fine particle size enter the circulating water in the form of sludge to form a slurry. After the slurry is settled in a settling tank, it is pumped to a concentration tank, where a flocculating agent is added to promote the agglomeration of the material. After concentration, the slurry is pressed to a filter press to remove excess water. The amount of iron powder sludge pressed out is equal to the amount of iron powder produced, and the water content is maintained at 25-30%, the metallic iron content is maintained at 5-8%, and the total iron content is maintained at 40-45%. The total iron content of the sludge cannot directly meet the total iron requirement of sintering materials, so other high-iron-containing materials need to be added. However, the sludge contains a certain amount of water and a small amount of flocculating agent, so it is difficult to mix and mix unevenly when the sludge is mixed with other high-iron-containing materials, resulting in large composition segregation. Therefore, the sludge and other iron-containing materials need to be mixed and ground by a small ball mill after being mixed in a certain proportion, and then dried. Or the sludge is dried on a cement floor, and then mixed and turned by a loader until it is evenly mixed, which is labor-intensive and has large composition segregation.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for efficiently and selectively recovering iron-containing materials from iron powder sludge to improve resource utilization and economic efficiency. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present application discloses a kind of iron-containing material recovered from iron powder sludge and its recycling method and application to solve the technical problem of low resource utilization rate of iron powder sludge in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the technical problem, a method for recovering iron-containing material from iron powder sludge is provided, which includes the following steps: S1: spread and turn the iron powder sludge for dehydration until the water content of the iron powder sludge is 5-8wt%; S2: bake the dehydrated iron powder sludge to a water content of <1wt% to obtain dry iron powder sludge; S3: crush and sieve the dry iron powder sludge to obtain a sieved material and a powder A, and magnetically separate the sieved material to obtain a concentrate and a magnetic separation residue; the TFe content of the concentrate is ≥50wt%; S4: separating the magnetic separation residual material through a powder separator to obtain coarse material and powder B, and collecting the powder A and the powder B through a negative pressure mode in a closed environment to obtain a micro powder; the TFe content of the coarse material is 10-15wt%, and the TFe content of the micro powder is less than 10wt% and the proportion of the material under the 200 mesh screen is greater than or equal to 98%.

[0013] The application further discloses an application of the concentrate in preparing sintered ore.
[0014] The application further discloses an application of the coarse material in preparing a drying agent.
[0015] The application further discloses an application of the micro powder in preparing concrete.
[0016] The application has the following beneficial effects: 1、The present application realizes the efficient separation of different grade iron components in the iron powder sludge through a series of process steps such as dehydration-baking-crushing-screening-magnetic separation and powder separator separation, which not only improves the recovery rate of iron resources, but also enables the recovered iron-containing materials to be resource utilization according to their grade and characteristics.
