Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal recycling technology, specifically relating to a method for efficiently removing zinc from the surface of galvanized steel. Background Technology

[0002] Galvanized steel sheet refers to steel sheet with a zinc coating on its surface. The zinc coating effectively improves the corrosion resistance of the steel sheet, and galvanized steel sheet is widely used in construction, automobiles, home appliances, shipbuilding, heating facilities, and other fields. Due to the large-scale use of galvanized steel sheet, the production of galvanized steel sheet scrap and defective products has increased. Currently, my country's annual production of galvanized steel sheet scrap is typically over 50 million tons. If all of this scrap could be dezincified and recycled, it would reduce approximately 1 million tons of zinc-containing hazardous waste dust annually, convert 50 million tons of low-grade steel into high-grade steel, and recover over 150,000 tons of zinc. Therefore, finding a method to quickly remove zinc from the surface of galvanized steel is a pressing technical problem that the galvanized steel sheet scrap recycling industry needs to solve.

[0003] Traditional methods for removing zinc from the surface of galvanized steel sheets generally fall into three categories: vacuum baking, ammonia-ammonium chloride solution dissolution, and strong alkali solution zinc removal. Vacuum baking requires harsh conditions under vacuum and high temperatures, and the dezincified steel is prone to rusting. Ammonia-ammonium chloride solution dissolution is not used due to environmental pollution concerns. Strong alkali solution zinc removal is more commonly used, but it requires high temperatures, and each ton of zinc powder requires approximately 4000 kWh of electricity, resulting in high energy consumption, high cost, and low production efficiency. Alkali dezincification via electrolysis can only produce a single product, zinc powder, limiting its market potential. During the recycling and smelting of galvanized steel sheet scrap, every 100 tons of steel generates 2 kg of zinc-containing hazardous waste dust. Although steel mills have dust collection measures, the environmental pollution remains severe. Therefore, complete remediation during the smelting process is impossible; only by thoroughly removing zinc from the surface of the galvanized steel sheet scrap before smelting can complete remediation be achieved. Alkaline dezincification suffers from drawbacks such as slow speed, low efficiency, and high cost, making it difficult to break even and hindering its rapid adoption. This method fails to meet the urgent national and industry demand for dezincification of galvanized steel scrap. While the ordinary sulfuric acid solution method can remove the zinc layer from the surface of galvanized steel sheets, it cannot effectively prevent the reaction between sulfuric acid and iron. The resulting zinc sulfate solution has a high iron content, making it impossible to effectively separate the iron from the zinc sulfate solution at a reasonable cost, thus hindering the full utilization of the zinc sulfate solution.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention aims to develop an environmentally friendly, efficient, low-cost, diversified by-product, high-efficiency, and easily promoted method for dezincification of galvanized steel. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for efficiently removing zinc from the surface of galvanized steel. This invention utilizes a composite sulfuric acid solution of specific concentration and ratio, combined with step-by-step zinc removal, precise control of the zinc removal time, and appropriate control of the zinc removal reaction rate in the third step. This solves the problem that the reaction between dilute sulfuric acid and zinc cannot be prevented from simultaneously reacting with iron during the zinc removal process. This achieves the effect of efficiently removing zinc from the surface of galvanized steel sheets without damaging the steel substrate, thus solving the environmental pollution problem during the smelting and recycling of galvanized scrap steel, and also enabling the effective recovery and utilization of valuable zinc resources.

[0006] A method for efficiently removing zinc from the surface of galvanized steel includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Immerse the galvanized steel sheet in a mixed solution composed of sulfuric acid aqueous solution and surfactant to carry out the dezincification process 1. Detect the zinc online. Stop the reaction when the remaining zinc content reaches 18-25% of the initial zinc content.

[0008] (2) Immerse the galvanized steel sheet obtained in step (1) in a mixed solution composed of sulfuric acid aqueous solution, composite corrosion inhibitor and surfactant to carry out dezincification process 2. Detect the surface condition of the galvanized steel sheet online. Stop the reaction when exposed iron spots appear.

[0009] (3) Immerse the galvanized steel sheet obtained in step (2) in a mixed solution composed of sulfuric acid aqueous solution, composite grease, composite corrosion inhibitor and surfactant to carry out the dezincification process 3. Observe the reaction on the surface of the galvanized steel online. Stop the reaction when no bubbles are generated.

[0010] (4) Clean the galvanized steel sheet obtained in step (3) to obtain a clean steel sheet.

[0011] Preferably, the concentration of the sulfuric acid aqueous solution in step (1) is 10 g / L to 450 g / L.

[0012] Preferably, the surfactant in step (1) includes any one of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, and sorbitan monostearate.

[0019] Preferably, the iron content in the zinc sulfate solution obtained in steps (1) and (2) is ≤0.001 g / L, and the iron content in the zinc sulfate solution obtained in step (3) is ≤2 g / L.

[0020] Preferably, step (4) involves washing with water, and the resulting washing water is used to prepare a sulfuric acid aqueous solution.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] (1) The zinc removal method provided by the present invention can obtain a zinc sulfate solution with low iron content. Using this solution as the mother liquor, a variety of zinc-containing products can be produced, such as feed-grade monohydrate (heptahydrate) zinc sulfate, nano zinc oxide, lithopone, electrolytic zinc, etc. The products are diverse and have broad market prospects.

[0023] (2) The products of traditional alkaline dezincification are usually electrolytic zinc powder, but the quality of these electrolytic zinc powders is poor and they cannot be sold directly as qualified commercial zinc powder.

Under the same production capacity, the total energy consumption of the zinc removal method of the present invention is only 60% of that of alkaline zinc removal, and the zinc removal speed is more than 3 times that of alkaline zinc removal.

[0026] (5) The dezincification method provided by the present invention produces steel plates with high cleanliness, and the surface cleanliness is 5% higher than that of alkaline dezincification, which can increase the steel yield during scrap steel smelting and improve the economic benefits of steel plants.
