[0002] In industrial production, germanium-containing coal is often used in the fields of power generation, heating and the like, and in particular in low-temperature combustion processes (usually referring to combustion processes with a combustion temperature lower than 1000 DEG C), the organic components and part of the inorganic components in the germanium-containing coal will undergo combustion reaction, generating heat energy and also a large amount of fly ash solid waste. Since germanium is not easy to volatilize in the combustion process and is mostly enriched in the form of oxides and the like in the fly ash, the fly ash becomes a typical coal-derived dust solid waste.
[0003] At present, the treatment method for the coal-derived dust solid waste is mainly stacking and storage, and this treatment method has two major problems: on the one hand, the coal-derived dust solid waste has fine particles and light quality, and is easy to produce dust under the action of wind, polluting the surrounding atmospheric environment; on the other hand, the content of germanium in the coal-derived dust solid waste is usually between 50-500 g / t, and the content of germanium in part of the high-quality coal-derived dust solid waste even exceeds 1000 g / t, having a very high extraction value. If it is directly discarded and stacked, a large amount of valuable germanium resources will be wasted. SUMMARY

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of the coal-derived dust utilization method provided by the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be specifically described below in conjunction with the drawings, wherein the drawings constitute a part of the present application and are used to illustrate the principles of the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
[0032] The present application provides a coal-derived dust utilization method, referring to Figure 1 , comprising the following steps:
[0033] Step 1: Collecting coal-derived dust, the coal-derived dust includes germanium-containing flue dust and / or germanium-containing fly ash, wherein the germanium-containing flue dust contains germanium monoxide, germanium monosulfide and germanium disulfide, and the germanium-containing fly ash contains germanium dioxide and silicon-germanium solid solution (for example, germanium silicate);
[0034] Step 2: a first fluidized reduction reaction is performed on the coal-derived dust, so that germanium dioxide in the coal-derived dust is reduced to germanium monoxide, and the germanium monoxide is volatilized, to obtain first fluidized reduction after coal-derived dust and first fluidized reduction after flue gas, the first fluidized reduction after flue gas containing germanium monoxide;
[0035] Step 3: a second fluidized reduction reaction is performed on the first fluidized reduction after coal-derived dust, so that the silicon germanium solid solution in the first fluidized reduction after coal-derived dust is reduced to germanium monoxide, and the germanium monoxide is volatilized, to obtain second fluidized reduction after tailings and second fluidized reduction after flue gas, the second fluidized reduction after flue gas containing germanium monoxide;
[0036] Step 4: the first fluidized reduction after flue gas and the second fluidized reduction after flue gas are collected, to realize the enrichment of germanium in the coal-derived dust, and complete the utilization of the coal-derived dust.
[0037] Specifically, the reaction formula of the first fluidized reduction reaction is as follows:
[0038] GeO2(s)+CO(g)=GeO(g)+CO2(g)
[0039] The reaction formula of the second fluidized reduction reaction is as follows:
[0040] GeO2-SiO2(silicon germanium solid solution)+CO(g)→GeO(g)+CO2(g)+SiO2(s)
[0041] Compared with the prior art, the utilization method of the coal-derived dust provided by the present application can reduce germanium dioxide and silicon germanium solid solution in the coal-derived dust to germanium monoxide through two fluidized reduction reactions (first low-temperature reduction and second high-temperature reduction), and can realize the enrichment of germanium and the effective utilization of the coal-derived dust solid waste by collecting flue gas containing germanium monoxide due to the volatility of germanium monoxide.
[0042] On the other hand, the coal-derived dust is always in a fluidized state during the sequential reduction and second fluidized reduction reaction, and the coal-derived dust can fully contact with the reducing gas to occur a reduction reaction, thereby effectively improving the catalytic reaction efficiency and shortening the catalytic reaction time.
[0043] In order to realize the first fluidized reduction reaction, for example, in the above step 2, the first fluidized reduction reaction temperature is 800℃-950℃, and the first fluidized reduction reaction time is 30min-40min.
[0044] In view of the fact that the coal-derived dust is in a fluidized state and flows at a high speed during the primary fluidized reduction reaction, in order to quickly perform the primary fluidized reduction reaction, the step 2 further includes the following step before the primary fluidized reduction reaction:
[0045] The coal-derived dust is preheated to a temperature of 800-950°C.
[0046] Correspondingly, in order to perform the secondary fluidized reduction reaction, the temperature of the secondary fluidized reduction reaction is 1100-1350°C and the time of the secondary fluidized reduction reaction is 30-60 minutes in the step 3.
[0047] In view of the fact that the coal-derived dust is in a fluidized state and flows at a high speed after the primary fluidized reduction reaction, in order to quickly perform the secondary fluidized reduction reaction, the step 3 further includes the following step before the secondary fluidized reduction reaction:
[0048] The coal-derived dust after the primary fluidized reduction reaction is preheated to a temperature of 1100-1350°C.
[0049] It should be noted that the amount of reducing gas required for the primary fluidized reduction reaction and the secondary fluidized reduction reaction is determined according to the germanium content. For example, the molar ratio of germanium dioxide to reducing gas is 1:1.05-1.10. When the flow rate of the reducing gas is insufficient to ensure that the coal-derived dust is always in a fluidized state, an inert gas is used to make up for it.
[0050] In order to fully utilize germanium monosulfide and germanium disulfide in the germanium-containing flue dust, the step 1 and the step 2 further include the following step:
[0051] The coal-derived dust is subjected to a fluidized oxidation reaction, so that germanium monoxide, germanium disulfide and germanium sulfide in the coal-derived dust are converted into germanium dioxide, the germanium monoxide, the germanium disulfide and the germanium sulfide are fixed, volatile impurities such as sulfur and arsenic are removed, and the complex mineral structure is destroyed.
[0052] Specifically, the reaction formula of the fluidized oxidation reaction is as follows:
[0053] 2GeO + O2→ 2GeO2;
[0054] GeS2+ 3O2→ GeO2+ 2SO2;
[0055] GeS + 2O2→ GeO2+ SO2.
[0056] In order to promote the full flow of the fluidized oxidation reaction, the temperature of the fluidized oxidation reaction is 600-800 DEG C, and the fluidized oxidation reaction time is 30-50 min.
[0057] In order to break the germanium-silicon solid solution to germanium, and improve the utilization rate of coal-derived dust, the steps 1 and 2 further comprise the following steps:
[0058] The coal-derived dust is dry ground, so that the mass percentage of the coal-derived dust particles with a particle size of less than 0.045 mm in the total coal-derived dust is more than 75%.
[0059] In order to further collect germanium oxide, the step 4 further comprises the following steps:
[0060] The cyclone separator is used to separate the flue gas after the first fluidized reduction and the flue gas after the second fluidized reduction reaction, to obtain a cyclone separation solid phase and a cyclone separation flue gas;
[0061] The bag filter is used to remove dust from the cyclone separation flue gas, and the dust in the bag filter is collected, and the cyclone separation solid phase and the dust in the bag filter are germanium monoxide.
[0062] In the second aspect, the present application provides a method for utilizing coal-derived dust, which has the same steps as the method for utilizing coal-derived dust provided in the first aspect, and the difference is that:
[0063] It is worth noting that the fluidized oxidation reaction temperature ranges of germanium monoxide, germanium disulfide and germanium monosulfide are different, the fluidized oxidation reaction temperature of germanium monoxide (250-300 DEG C) < the fluidized oxidation reaction temperature of germanium monosulfide (400-500 DEG C) < the fluidized oxidation reaction temperature of germanium disulfide (600-700 DEG C), if the three are subjected to fluidized oxidation reaction in the same chamber, in order to ensure the reaction completeness of the three, the fluidized oxidation reaction temperature needs to be controlled to be greater than the oxidation reaction temperature of germanium disulfide, however, this not only causes the germanium monoxide and germanium monosulfide to undergo severe oxidation reaction, but also causes the energy consumption to increase.
[0064] Therefore, based on the different densities of germanium monoxide, germanium disulfide and germanium monosulfide (the density of germanium disulfide < the density of germanium monoxide, the density of germanium monosulfide), the fluidized oxidation reaction of the coal-derived dust is carried out in a fluidized oxidation tank, the bottom of the fluidized oxidation tank is provided with an inert gas inlet and a coal-derived dust inlet, the inert gas inlet is connected with an inert gas supply unit, the middle of the fluidized oxidation tank is provided with an oxidizing gas inlet, the oxidizing gas inlet is connected with an oxidizing gas supply unit, and the middle and upper part of the fluidized oxidation tank is provided with a heating assembly.
[0065] Exemplarily, the fluidized oxidation reaction of the coal-derived dust includes the following steps:
[0066] Step a: turn on the inert gas supply unit, the oxidizing gas supply unit and the heating assembly, the total supply flow rate of the inert gas and the oxidizing gas is in a first flow rate range, the oxidation reaction temperature is in a first temperature range (600-800℃), the germanium disulfide in the coal-derived dust is in a fluidized state, the fluidized oxidation reaction is carried out in the middle and upper parts of the fluidized oxidation tank, the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide are in the lower part of the fluidized oxidation tank and are not in a fluidized state, so the fluidized oxidation reaction does not occur to the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide;
[0067] Step b: turn off the heating assembly and increase the supply flow rate of the inert gas, so that the total supply flow rate of the inert gas and the oxidizing gas is in a second flow rate range, the total supply flow rate of the inert gas and the oxidizing gas in the second flow rate range is greater than that in the first flow rate range, the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide in the lower part of the fluidized oxidation tank are fluidized under the action of the inert gas and are blown to the middle and upper parts of the fluidized oxidation tank, and the fluidized oxidation reaction is carried out by using the residual heat of the fluidized oxidation tank.
[0068] In this way, the density difference between the germanium disulfide, the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide and the supply flow rate of the inert gas are utilized to separate the germanium disulfide, the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide, so that the germanium disulfide is subjected to the fluidized oxidation reaction in the middle and upper parts of the fluidized oxidation tank, the gap density between the particles is large, so the germanium disulfide can fully react with the oxidizing gas and the fluidized oxidation reaction is fast and complete, when the germanium disulfide is completely reacted, the supply flow rate of the inert gas is increased, so that the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide are in a fluidized state and are subjected to the fluidized oxidation reaction, at this time, the residual heat in the fluidized oxidation tank can make the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide be subjected to the fluidized oxidation reaction without turning on the heating assembly, which not only can effectively reduce the energy consumption, but also can avoid the violent fluidized oxidation reaction of the germanium monosulfide and the germanium monoxide at high temperature, thereby ensuring the safety of the whole device.
