Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyacrylamide, and more particularly to a functionalized polyacrylamide for alumina production and its preparation method, used in the alumina preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a common water treatment agent, and its excellent flocculation performance is particularly prominent in water treatment due to its high molecular weight and strong polarity. In the alumina preparation process, PAM is mainly used as a high-efficiency flocculant, and its core purpose is to accelerate the solid-liquid separation process through charge neutralization and adsorption bridging. In the red mud settling separation stage (a core step of the Bayer process), after bauxite is leached under high pressure, a slurry containing red mud (mainly composed of Fe2O3, SiO2, etc.) is formed. PAM can accelerate the settling of red mud: PAM adsorbs red mud particles to form flocs, which can increase the settling speed by 3 to 5 times. It can also reduce the liquid-to-solid ratio of the underflow, reducing the liquid-to-solid ratio (L / S) of the underflow red mud from the initial 4 to 5 to 1.5 to 2.0, while improving the transparency of the supernatant and reducing suspended solids (SS) to ≤100 mg / L, ensuring the subsequent decomposition process. In the red mud washing process, polyacrylamide can improve washing efficiency, reduce the loss of NaOH and Al2O3 in the red mud adsorbate, and reduce the number of washing cycles. Through enhanced flocculation, the number of washing cycles can be reduced from 6-8 times to 4-5 times. In the circulating water treatment process, polyacrylamide can remove suspended solids, reduce SS to ≤30mg / L, and at the same time reduce pipe scaling and inhibit the deposition of fine particles in the circulating system.

[0003] However, common anionic polyacrylamide used as a flocculant has no significant effect on fluoride removal in alumina production. In alumina preparation processes, the application of fluoride is mainly related to the sintering method, while in water treatment, the fluoride concentration must be strictly controlled to ≤10 mg / L. Aluminum fluoride (AlF3) or sodium fluoride (NaF) is typically added as a flux to lower the melting point of the ore and promote the formation of sodium aluminate (NaAlO2); it can also react with silicates to form sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6), reducing the interference of silicon impurities on the process and increasing the alumina dissolution rate in bauxite.

[0004] Therefore, fluoride-containing wastewater is generated during the sintering process, wet defluorination of flue gas, and equipment flushing. The fluoride content in sintering wastewater is generally 150–500 ppm, while in wet defluorination of flue gas it is approximately 200–600 ppm. According to the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB 8978-1996), fluoride (calculated as F-) should be ≤10 mg / L. If the wastewater is recycled, the fluoride concentration needs to be controlled to ≤5 mg / L to prevent pipe corrosion and scaling. Common defluorination technologies include chemical precipitation (adding lime (CaO) to generate calcium fluoride (CaF2) precipitate), adsorption (using activated alumina, zeolite, etc.), and membrane separation (reverse osmosis (RO) or electrodialysis (ED)). Polyacrylamide, a commonly used flocculant in alumina production, can significantly improve water treatment efficiency and reduce production process complexity and costs if it can also effectively remove fluoride. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a functionalized polyacrylamide that can efficiently chelate fluorine in alumina production and its preparation method.

[0006] The present invention designs a polymer monomer containing polyamine groups, which is incorporated into the main chain of polyacrylamide through free radical polymerization. On the monomer with polyamine groups, the positively charged nitrogen atoms form multidentate hydrogen bonds with F-, which can effectively enrich fluorine elements on the polymer chain. While acting as a flocculant, it can also efficiently adsorb fluorine in water and reduce the fluorine content in wastewater.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] On the one hand, a functionalized polyacrylamide is provided, which is obtained by copolymerization of acrylamide structural monomer, anionic structural monomer and polyamine monomer; wherein the polyamine monomer accounts for 15% to 25% of the total mass of the polymerization unit; and the anionic structural monomer accounts for 60% to 75% of the total mass of the polymerization unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the structural formula of the functionalized polyacrylamide is shown in the figure below:

[0010]

[0011] Where a, b, and c are all natural numbers greater than or equal to 1; R1 is an anionic monomer; and R2 is a polyamine monomer.

[0012] Furthermore, R2 is one of the side groups containing the following groups:

[0013]

[0014] Furthermore, the anionic monomer is acrylic acid.

[0015] On the other hand, a method for preparing functionalized polyacrylamide is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Material preparation: Weigh 10-15 parts of acrylamide structural monomer, 60-75 parts of anionic structural monomer, 15-25 parts of polyamine monomer, 0.002-0.05 parts of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, 0.00002-0.0005 parts of oxidant, 0.00004-0.0007 parts of reducing agent, and 60-90 parts of deionized water;

[0017] Step 2: Mixing: Add the acrylamide structural monomer, anionic monomer, polyamine monomer, and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate to deionized water according to the above formula to prepare a homogeneous solution. Adjust the pH value to between 6.5 and 7.5 with sodium hydroxide to obtain the mixed solution.

[0018] Step 3 Deoxygenation: Cool the mixture obtained in Step 2 to -2 to 0℃, transfer it to an insulated container, and purge it with nitrogen for 30 minutes;

[0019] Step 4 Polymerization: Prepare solutions of the oxidant and reducing agent described in Step 1, add them to the reaction system, purge with nitrogen until the system begins to heat up, and keep warm for 2 hours after the heating is complete;

[0020] Step 5: Pulverization: The obtained colloid is granulated, dried, and pulverized to obtain the final product.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the polyamine monomer is synthesized by the following method:

[0022] Acryloyl chloride and biguanide were dissolved in a mixed solution of acetone and triethylamine and reacted at 25°C for 1–5 hours. The molar ratio of acryloyl chloride to biguanide was 1:1.2, and the mass ratio of acetone to triethylamine was 2:1. The reactants were distilled to remove the solvent and excess unreacted monomers to obtain polyamine monomers.

[0023] The mechanism for synthesizing polyamine monomers from biguanide is as follows, wherein the acyl chloride reacts randomly with any hydrogen atom on the ammonia-containing compound.

[0024]

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the polyamine monomer is synthesized by the following method:

[0026] Acryloyl chloride and tetraethylenepentamine were dissolved in a mixed solution of acetone and triethylamine and reacted at 25°C for 1–5 hours. The molar ratio of acryloyl chloride to tetraethylenepentamine was 1:1.2, and the mass ratio of acetone to triethylamine was 2:1. The reactants were distilled to remove the solvent and excess unreacted monomers to obtain polyamine monomers.

[0027] The mechanism for synthesizing polyamine monomers from tetraethylenepentamine is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Preferably, the anionic monomer is acrylic acid.

[0030] Furthermore, the oxidant is at least one of potassium bromate, potassium persulfate, and sodium persulfate.

[0031] Furthermore, the reducing agent is at least one of sodium bisulfite, sodium dithionite, and sodium metabisulfite.

[0032] The functionalized polyacrylamide prepared by the above method can be used in alumina production as a flocculant to flocculate suspended ions in red mud, while effectively enriching fluoride ions in water and removing fluoride from the water.

[0033] Specifically, when functionalized polyacrylamide is applied at a concentration of 3000 ppm, and is used at a volume ratio of 1:1 to treat a fluorine-containing solution containing 600 ppm, the fluorine content can be reduced to below 10 ppm.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0035] This invention introduces a polymeric monomer containing polyamine groups into the main chain of polyacrylamide via free radical polymerization. On the monomer with polyamine groups, the positively charged nitrogen atom forms a multidentate hydrogen bond with F-, which can effectively enrich fluorine in the polymer chain. In alumina production, it acts as a flocculant while efficiently adsorbing fluorine in water, reducing the fluorine content in wastewater, achieving multiple effects with one agent, and simplifying the defluorination section in the later process.
