Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of harmless treatment technology for organosilicon incineration solid waste, specifically a method for producing precipitated silica through harmless treatment of organosilicon incineration solid waste. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society, people's demand for organosilicon products is increasing. The production process of organosilicon products generates a large amount of waste gas and waste liquid. As organosilicon production capacity continues to increase, the amount of waste gas and waste liquid generated is also increasing. The waste gas and waste liquid from organosilicon mainly include toxic and harmful substances such as chloromethane and various methylchlorosilanes. Currently, the main methods for treating organosilicon waste gas and liquid are waste gas incineration and dilute hydrochloric acid recovery. The main steps of this method are: High-temperature incineration: The organosilicon waste gas and liquid are incinerated at high temperature in an incinerator, turning it into flue gas (the flue gas mainly consists of hydrogen chloride gas, silica particles, carbon dioxide, etc.); Preheating boiler recovery: The high-temperature flue gas undergoes heat recovery in a preheating boiler, reducing the flue gas temperature to around 250℃ and simultaneously generating saturated steam; Quenching tower cooling: After heat recovery, the flue gas temperature remains high, requiring further cooling in a quenching tower using wet hydrochloric acid spraying to reduce the temperature to around 60℃; Wet spray dust removal: After the flue gas from the quenching tower undergoes wet spray dust removal with circulating dilute acid, most of the silica particles are separated from the flue gas; HCl absorption: The dust-removed flue gas further absorbs HCl using circulating dilute hydrochloric acid, and the resulting dilute hydrochloric acid can be recycled and reused, while the flue gas meets the corresponding emission standards. Although this method can yield some recyclable dilute acid, the dilute acid has a high solid content, so its recycling value is low. In addition, most of the silica particles obtained from incineration are classified as hazardous waste and still need to be treated. Therefore, we propose a method for the harmless treatment of organosilicon incineration solid waste to produce precipitated silica. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a method for harmlessly treating organosilicon incineration solid waste to produce precipitated silica. By harmlessly treating the hazardous waste obtained from incineration and producing precipitated silica, the problems in the background technology can be effectively solved.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for producing precipitated silica through harmless treatment of organosilicon incineration solid waste, comprising the following steps; Step 1: Mix the solid waste obtained from the incineration of organosilicon with a sodium hydroxide solution of a certain concentration according to the specified ratio to obtain mixture 1; Step 2: Heat and stir mixture 1 at a temperature of 50-80℃ for 1 hour to allow the silica and sodium hydroxide in the solid waste to react fully, thus obtaining mixture 2. Step 3: Filter mixture 2 through filter press 1 to separate filter cake residue and sodium silicate solution; Step 4: In the reactor, a fixed amount of CO2 gas is introduced into the sodium silicate solution by bubbling to control the pH of the reaction system to less than 6.5. At the same time, the reactor is heated with high-temperature steam to ensure the reaction temperature and complete conversion of sodium silicate. Step 5: After reacting for 2-4 hours, transfer the material to a slurry tank for settling. Step 6: After settling, filter the material through filter press 2 and rinse the filter cake with clean water to remove the Na2CO3 adhering to the surface. Step 7: Dry and grind the filter cake obtained in Step 6 at 200-400℃ to obtain the precipitated silica product; Step 8: The filtrate obtained in Step 6 is evaporated, concentrated, and cooled to crystallize, yielding solid Na2CO3. By harmlessly treating the hazardous waste obtained from incineration and producing precipitated silica, this method can not only convert hazardous waste into precipitated silica products, but also convert greenhouse gas CO2 into Na2CO3 products. This reduces the hazardous waste treatment costs of organosilicon plants and yields products with certain value.

[0005] Furthermore, in step one, the mass ratio of solid waste to sodium hydroxide solution is 1:4-6, and the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution is 30%-35%, preferably 32%. This ratio ensures that the silica in the solid waste reacts fully with the sodium hydroxide, avoiding incomplete reaction and solid waste residue due to insufficient sodium hydroxide, while also preventing waste of raw materials and subsequent processing burden due to excessive sodium hydroxide, thus improving the utilization rate of raw materials while ensuring reaction efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the stirring rate in step two is 150-250 r / min. This rate allows the solid waste in mixture one to come into full contact with the sodium hydroxide solution and mix evenly, accelerating the reaction rate and ensuring that silicon dioxide and sodium hydroxide react efficiently within 1 hour. This avoids insufficient reaction due to slow stirring or excessive energy consumption due to excessive stirring.

[0007] Furthermore, in steps three and six, both filter one and filter two are plate and frame filters or vacuum filters with a filtration pressure of 0.2-0.5 MPa. This equipment and pressure parameters can effectively separate the filter cake and solution in the mixture, ensuring filtration effect and efficiency. This avoids slow filtration speed and incomplete separation due to excessively low pressure, while also preventing damage to the equipment or splashing of filtrate due to excessively high pressure, thus ensuring the purity of raw materials in subsequent processes.

[0008] Furthermore, the high-temperature steam heating in step four maintains the reaction temperature in the reactor at 50-90°C. This temperature range promotes the reaction between sodium silicate and CO2, accelerates the reaction rate, and ensures complete reaction. It avoids slow or incomplete reaction due to excessively low temperature, or increased energy consumption and decreased CO2 solubility due to excessively high temperature, which would affect the reaction effect.

[0009] Furthermore, in step four, the gas flow rate of the bubbling is 0.5-2 m³ / h, and the purity of the CO2 gas is not less than 95%. This flow rate ensures that the CO2 and sodium silicate solution can fully contact and react, and the purity can reduce the interference of impurities on the reaction, ensuring that the sodium silicate is completely converted into the target product. This avoids incomplete reaction due to too small a flow rate or waste of CO2 due to too large a flow rate, as well as insufficient purity affecting the purity of the product.

[0010] Furthermore, the drying time in step seven is 2-5 hours, and the particle size of the ground product is 100-300 mesh. This time ensures that the filter cake is fully dried and the moisture is removed. The particle size range ensures that the silica product meets the application requirements. This avoids both excessively short drying time leading to high product moisture content and excessively long drying time increasing energy consumption. At the same time, the appropriate particle size ensures the performance of the product.

[0011] Furthermore, the evaporation and concentration temperature in step eight is 80-110℃, and the final temperature for cooling and crystallization is 10-30℃. This concentration temperature can efficiently evaporate water and increase the solution concentration, while the crystallization temperature can promote the full precipitation of Na2CO3. This avoids both low evaporation efficiency due to excessively low concentration temperature and increased energy consumption due to excessively high concentration temperature. At the same time, the appropriate crystallization temperature ensures the yield and purity of Na2CO3.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The method for producing precipitated silica through the harmless treatment of organosilicon incineration solid waste has the following advantages: 1. Realize the resource utilization of hazardous waste, transform the silica hazardous waste generated from organosilicon incineration into silica products with application value through precipitation method, and at the same time absorb greenhouse gas CO2 to generate Na2CO3 solid, thereby reducing hazardous waste treatment costs and increasing the economic benefits of the factory.

[0013] 2. It conforms to the concepts of energy conservation, emission reduction and circular economy, and avoids the problems of low value of dilute acid recovery and resource waste caused by hazardous waste treatment in existing technologies. It realizes the recycling of resources while treating pollutants and reduces the burden on the environment. Attached Figure Description
