Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid hazardous waste treatment and utilization technology in non-ferrous metal metallurgy, and in particular to a resource-based treatment method for high-arsenic flue dust. Background Technology

[0002] Arsenic is present in all non-ferrous metal minerals to varying degrees, ranging from a few parts per ten thousand to a few parts per million. Although arsenic is removed as much as possible during the flotation process of non-ferrous metal minerals, 5-20% of the arsenic is still carried into the smelters along with the metal concentrate. In the smelting of non-ferrous metals such as lead, zinc, copper, and tin, most of the arsenic in the furnace charge is oxidized to arsenic trioxide (arsenic trioxide) and volatilizes into the flue gas, resulting in high-arsenic flue dust after dust collection. In addition to arsenic trioxide, high-arsenic flue dust also contains many other volatile elements from the furnace charge in the form of oxides.

[0003] Arsenic is a highly toxic substance and a harmful element that pollutes the environment, especially AsH3, which is even more toxic; inhalation can cause acute poisoning and death. Therefore, when conditions arise that generate AsH3 gas during production processes, arsenic must be treated. Consequently, high-arsenic fumes have become a type of solid hazardous waste produced in large quantities by related industries and posing a serious threat to the environment. The phase composition of arsenic in high-arsenic fumes produced in some metallurgical enterprises is shown in Table 1.

[0004] Table 1. Phase composition of arsenic in flue dust

[0005]

[0006] However, arsenic is also a useful element. Arsenic compounds are mainly used to refine elemental arsenic and manufacture arsenic acid, calcium arsenate, sodium arsenate, lead arsenate, etc. In the metallurgical industry, it is used to refine arsenic alloys; arsenic-lead alloys are used to manufacture bullets, military poisons, and fireworks; arsenic-copper alloys and arsenic-lead alloys are used to manufacture radar and automobile parts. In light industry, it is used to manufacture milky white glass, glass decolorize, wool rinsing, leather tanning agents, and as a wood preservative. In agriculture, it is used as an arsenic-containing pesticide, herbicide, and rodenticide. In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as a drug and a strong stimulant. Additionally, arsenic trisulfide can be used to manufacture firecrackers, fireworks, and mosquito coils; it can also be used as a pigment. Therefore, comprehensive arsenic recycling not only turns a potential hazard into a benefit but also meets market demand and creates social wealth.

[0007] The yield of high-arsenic dust is approximately 8-10% of the furnace charge in smelting, indicating a large output and difficulties in resource utilization. Generally, it is disposed of through stockpiling or landfilling. Landfilling is extremely costly, and many factories lack available hazardous waste landfills. This results in existing stockpiles of high-arsenic dust remaining untreated, while newly added dust continues to be stockpiled. This not only consumes significant land, manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also, due to weathering from sun and rain, the arsenic and metallic elements in the high-arsenic dust cause severe pollution to the surrounding environment. The continuous increase in stockpiles also exacerbates the risk of dam failure, posing a serious threat to the lives and property of people in the surrounding areas.

[0008] Resource-based treatment refers to the use of advanced technologies and processes to treat hazardous waste as a valuable resource, recovering valuable substances from hazardous waste and utilizing them to create economic value and turn waste into treasure.

[0009] In response to the increasingly severe environmental situation, large metallurgical enterprises, related research institutes and universities have successively developed some methods for the treatment and utilization of high-arsenic flue dust. Chinese invention patent CN106893869A discloses a method for treating high-arsenic flue dust, which uses a pyrometallurgical process to obtain elemental arsenic; Chinese invention patent CN111440954A discloses a method for treating high-arsenic flue dust, which uses a pyrometallurgical process to obtain arsenic trioxide; Chinese invention patents CN101798636A and CN102433440A disclose a method for treating high-arsenic flue dust, which uses a combination of wet and pyrometallurgical processes to obtain arsenic trioxide; Chinese invention patent CN114086002A discloses a method for treating high-arsenic flue dust, which uses a wet process to obtain arsenic trioxide and antimony slag; Chinese invention patent CN1789445A discloses a method for treating high-arsenic flue dust, which uses a wet process to obtain arsenic trioxide, and describes a method for separating arsenic, copper, and zinc from the acid leaching solution; Chinese invention patent CN115976326A discloses a method for treating high-arsenic flue dust, which uses a wet process to obtain arsenic trioxide, and describes a method for extracting and separating copper and iron from the leaching solution.

[0010] The above-mentioned treatment methods only recover and utilize arsenic and two or three other elements in the process of treating high-arsenic flue dust, which obviously has the problem of low resource utilization. Moreover, the recovered other elements are not turned into products, resulting in low economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the resource utilization of high-arsenic flue dust, which solves the problem of low resource utilization rate of high-arsenic flue dust in the prior art.

[0101] In this invention, to ensure the complete precipitation of valuable metal elements and achieve a high recovery rate, the mass of the precipitant added in each precipitation reaction is controlled in two main ways: First, when the precipitation process is sensitive to the acidity or alkalinity of the filtrate, the mass of the precipitant added is limited according to the pH value during the precipitation reaction. Second, when the precipitant is neutral or amphoteric and added in solid form, the theoretical mass of the corresponding precipitant to be added in each precipitation reaction is calculated based on the component content of the high-arsenic dust used in the experiment, the above reaction equation, and the concentration specifications of the corresponding precipitant. Then, an excess of 20% is added on top of the theoretical mass, which is the actual mass of precipitant added. These methods of precipitant addition ensure that the valuable metal elements in the high-arsenic dust are fully precipitated, achieving a recovery rate of 98-99%.

[0102] The implementation process of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0103] In the following examples, apart from the high-arsenic flue dust solids produced by the smelting of a certain lead smelting enterprise mentioned above, all other raw materials are from commercially available conventional raw materials. Where no specific technology or conditions are specified in the examples, they shall be carried out in accordance with the technology or conditions described in the relevant documents or in accordance with the product instructions.
