Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of phosphate fertilizer chemical technology, specifically to a process for producing calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer using flotation tailings. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for phosphate rock resources, low-grade phosphate rock can be used on a large scale through beneficiation, impurity removal, and purification. However, with the proliferation of flotation beneficiation equipment, the byproduct, flotation tailings, is increasing exponentially. The indiscriminate dumping of flotation tailings not only poses environmental risks, but tailings ponds with large quantities of tailings also represent a significant safety hazard. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of flotation tailings has become an urgent need for mineral processing enterprises.

[0003] Phosphorus is an essential element for promoting crop growth and supporting crop life activities; it is also a component of cell nucleoproteins. Magnesium participates in biological processes such as enzyme activation and is an indispensable element for plant growth. If phosphorus tailings from flotation can be processed into phosphorus-magnesium compound fertilizer products, it will not only generate certain economic benefits and develop a circular economy, but also have significant social implications for implementing a sustainable development strategy for phosphate resources.

[0004] Patent application CN101747090A discloses a method for preparing calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer using a blast furnace method with flotation tailings of phosphorus tailings. The method uses flotation phosphorus tailings slurry as raw material, which is processed to obtain tailings filter cake. The tailings filter cake is granulated and then pulverized and blended with other primary phosphate rock, silica, and coke to obtain sintered raw material. Calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer is then prepared using a blast furnace method from the sintered raw material. However, when calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer prepared from phosphorus tailings is applied to soil contaminated with heavy metals, the organic elements such as calcium and phosphorus readily react chemically with the heavy metals. Furthermore, the synthesized calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer lacks slow-release properties, both of which lead to a decrease in the utilization rate of the prepared calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer.

[0005] To address this technical deficiency, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a process for producing calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer from flotation tailings, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer prepared by high-temperature melting of flotation tailings is easily affected by the external environment, resulting in low utilization rate of the prepared calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A process for producing calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer from flotation tailings includes the following steps: B1. High-temperature melting, cooling, crushing and screening of flotation phosphorus tailings to prepare tailings powder; B2. Tailings powder, citric acid powder, phosphoric acid and polyester additives are blended to obtain high-efficiency powder; the high-efficiency powder is pelletized to obtain near-spherical calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer.

[0008] Furthermore, in step B1, the high-temperature melting temperature is 1600-1700℃ and the high-temperature melting time is 2-4h; the mesh size of the tailings powder after crushing and screening is 200-400 mesh.

[0009] Furthermore, in step B2, the method for preparing the polyester auxiliary material includes the following steps: A stereocomposite crystal was prepared by melt blending of Al, PLLA and PDLA. A2. The slurry preparation tank is connected to the esterification reactor. One esterification reactor and two parallel polycondensation reactors are connected to form a batch unit. Terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol are added to the slurry preparation tank for blending to obtain a blended monomer. Ramie cellulose and antimony acetate catalyst are then added to the slurry preparation tank to obtain a reaction system. The reaction system is fed into the esterification reactor from the top of the slurry preparation tank for esterification to obtain a prepolymer. Polyesters were prepared by intermittent esterification of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol through esterification, primary polycondensation, and secondary polycondensation; wherein, ramie cellulose rich in hydroxyl groups was used to modify the synthetic polyester.

[0010] A3. The prepolymer is transferred to the first polycondensation reactor, where methacrolein, formaldehyde, and KOH are added to the first polycondensation reactor to undergo primary polycondensation and obtain the primary polymer. The primary polymer is then transferred to the second polycondensation reactor for secondary polycondensation to prepare the composite polyester. The prepolymer undergoes polycondensation in a first and a second polycondensation reactor sequentially. During this process, methacrolein and formaldehyde undergo aldol condensation, primarily forming a 2-methyl-2-propenal-formaldehyde condensate. Excess hydroxyl groups in the ethylene glycol and ramie cellulose in the prepolymer react with methacrolein to prepare the primary polymer. The primary polymer is then transferred to the second polycondensation reactor for secondary polycondensation. Here, the 2-methyl-2-propenal-formaldehyde condensate further polycondenses, as does ethylene glycol terephthalate, yielding a composite polyester. Because the polycondensation reactions of the two polymers occur simultaneously, a composite polyester in which the two polymers are physically intertwined can be prepared.

[0011] A4. The composite polyester and the prepared stereocomposite crystal are blended, melt-extruded, and cooled and solidified to obtain the polyester auxiliary material.

[0012] Furthermore, in step A1, the mass ratio of PLLA to PDLA is 1:1-2; the melt blending temperature is 190-200℃ and the melt blending time is 2-5 min.

[0013] Further, in step A2, the molar ratio of terephthalic acid to ethylene glycol is 1:1.15-1.25, the weight ratio of the blended monomer, ramie cellulose and catalyst is 100:5-15:0.3-0.5; the esterification reaction temperature is 245-265℃, the esterification reaction pressure is 0.1-0.3MPa, and the esterification reaction time is 2-3h.

[0014] Further, in step A3, the weight ratio of prepolymer, methacrylic acid, formaldehyde and catalyst is 100:7:3:0.01-0.03; the temperature of the first polycondensation is 240-250℃ and the duration of the first polycondensation is 1-2 hours; the temperature of the second polycondensation is 260-280℃ and the melt viscosity is 380-400 Pa·s, which is considered as the completion of the second polycondensation.

[0015] Furthermore, in step A4, the weight ratio of composite polyester to stereocomposite crystal is 100:10-20; the melt extrusion temperature is 80-100℃ and the melt extrusion time is 5-10 min.

[0016] Furthermore, in step B2, the weight ratio of tailings powder, citric acid powder, phosphoric acid and polyester auxiliary material is 70-80:3-5:10-15:10-15; the pelletizing speed is 20-40 r / min, the pelletizing time is 10-20 min, and the pelletizing temperature is 100-105℃.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Polyester is prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol through esterification, primary polycondensation, and secondary polycondensation processes. During the esterification process, doping with ramie cellulose modifies the synthesized polyester, improving its biodegradability. Furthermore, during the primary and secondary polycondensation reactions of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, the addition of methacrolein and formaldehyde monomers further polycondenses to generate methyl methacrylate and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), thereby improving the chemical resistance of the synthesized composite polyester. PMMA can undergo depolymerization at high temperatures, allowing for the recovery of PMMA monomers. Therefore, although PMMA is a petroleum-based, non-degradable polymer, it can be recycled, contributing to environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0018] 2. The stereocomposite crystals prepared by transesterification of PLLA and PDLA can be used as nucleating agents to further optimize the crystal form of the prepared polyester auxiliary materials, thereby improving the overall performance of the synthesized polyester auxiliary materials. This invention uses the synthesized polyester auxiliary materials as film-forming agents and binders, which can form a dense film on the surface of tailings powder, preventing the loss of nutrients in the synthesized calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer; the polyester auxiliary materials themselves can also act as slow-release carriers, regulating the release rate of various nutrients and extending the fertilizer's effective period.

[0019] 3. Phosphate tailings can be further enriched with phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and silicon through flotation. The flotation tailings are then subjected to high-temperature melting to activate the insoluble phosphorus minerals. Furthermore, the high-temperature melting process can fix heavy metals such as lead and cadmium in the flotation tailings in a glassy or crystalline structure, reducing their leaching toxicity. The tailings are then pulverized to obtain a tailings powder of a certain fineness. To avoid chemical reactions between calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer and heavy metals such as iron, aluminum, calcium, and magnesium in the soil, which would result in a large amount of phosphate fertilizer being fixed in the soil and reducing its utilization rate, this invention blends the tailings powder with organic citric acid powder and phosphoric acid to form spheres. The prepared calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer is easily absorbed by the organic citric acid powder and phosphoric acid, which can reduce the chemical fixation of water-soluble phosphorus, further improving the utilization rate of the phosphate fertilizer. In addition, the spherical tailings powder coated with polyester additives can act as an adsorbent material, achieving efficient adsorption of heavy metals in contaminated soil and improving the quality of the contaminated soil.

[0042] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 6 is that step A1 is omitted; in step A4, the stereocomposite crystal is replaced with an equal mass of PLLA.

[0043] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 6 is that in step A3, no methacrolein and formaldehyde monomers were added to the first polycondensation reactor; in step A4, the composite polyester, stereocomposite crystals and polymethyl methacrylate were blended in a weight ratio of 100:20:10, melt-extruded at 100°C for 10 minutes, and then naturally cooled and solidified at room temperature to obtain the prepared polyester auxiliary material.

[0044] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 6 is that, in step B2, citric acid powder was not added when preparing the high-efficiency powder.

[0045] Performance testing: 1. Prepare a 0.01 mL / L NaNO3 solution. Then, using the NaNO3 solution as a solvent, prepare a 200 mg / L Cd(NO3)2 solution, a Pb(NO3)2 solution, and a Cu(NO3)2 solution with a pH of 7. Weigh 0.005 g of the calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer prepared in Examples 4-6 into a 10 mL centrifuge tube, add 5 mL of Cd(NO3)2 solution, mix thoroughly, and place in a constant-temperature shaker. React at 25°C and 200 rpm for 48 h. After removing the sample, filter it through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane. Dilute the filtrate with 0.5% nitric acid solution. Determine the concentration of heavy metal ions in the filtrate using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Calculate the removal rate of heavy metals.

[0046] Qe=(C0-Ce)V / m In the formula: Qe is the equilibrium adsorption capacity (mg·g) of the adsorbent at the equilibrium concentration Ce. -1 C0 is the initial concentration of the adsorbate in the solution (mg·L). -1 Ce is the concentration of the adsorbate in the solution (mg·L) when adsorption equilibrium is reached. -1 V is the volume of the adsorption solution (mL); m is the mass of the adsorbent (g).

[0047] 2. The content of available phosphorus pentoxide in the calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers prepared in Examples 4-6 was determined by the quinoline phosphomolybdate gravimetric method; the content of available magnesium in the calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers prepared in Examples 4-6 was determined by the disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate volumetric method.

[0048] 3. The calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were added to a corundum crucible and heated to 200℃ at a heating rate of 20K / min. The weight of the calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer before and after heating was measured, and its weight loss rate was calculated. Specific test results are shown in the table below: Table 1. Sample performance test data Data Analysis: By comparing and analyzing the data in the table above, the calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer prepared in Examples 4-6 of this invention can be used as an adsorbent material, exhibiting high adsorption performance for heavy metal elements Cd, Pb, and Cu, and can improve and remediate heavy metal contaminated soil. However, in Comparative Example 2, the composite polyester and polymethyl methacrylate were directly blended; compared to the polyester auxiliary material prepared by mixing the monomers of the composite polyester with the monomers of the polymethyl methacrylate and then undergoing two polycondensation reactions, a polymer alloy was not formed, resulting in a decrease in its adsorption rate for Cd, Pb, and Cu.

[0049] The calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers prepared in Examples 4-6 of this invention all meet the usage standards for Type II fertilizers, with an effective P2O5 content of approximately 15-18%wt and an effective magnesium content of approximately 5-6%wt. Type II fertilizers can control the nutrient delivery rate to synchronize with crop needs and reduce nutrient loss. The calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers prepared in Examples 4-6 of this invention all exhibit low weight loss rates under high-temperature conditions (200℃), demonstrating excellent thermal stability. However, in Comparative Example 1, an equal mass of PLLA was used instead of stereocomplex crystals; compared to conventional PLLA, stereocomplex crystals act as nucleating agents, resulting in higher thermal stability in the prepared calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer. This is manifested in the higher weight loss rate of the calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer prepared in Comparative Example 1 at 200℃.
