Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of industrial solid waste resource utilization and soil engineering technology, and in particular to a two-phase reaction red mud soilification method and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Red mud, a major waste product of the alumina industry, has accumulated to billions of tons globally. Its strong alkalinity (pH often reaching 10-13) is the core constraint on its resource utilization. Existing technologies have significant limitations: water washing requires massive amounts of water resources and can only remove surface free alkali, leaving deep-seated bound alkali (such as sodalite and nepheline) residues that cause pH rebound; biological methods rely on microbial metabolic dealkalization, with reaction cycles lasting weeks or even months, making it difficult to meet the needs of continuous industrial production; traditional acid leaching methods often use low-solids systems (solid-liquid ratio ≤ 3:1, where the solid-liquid ratio is the ratio of solid mass (g) to liquid volume (mL), resulting in low equipment utilization and the formation of rigid agglomerates between red mud particles after acid leaching, leading to soil compaction, poor aeration, and inability to be directly used for crop cultivation.

[0003] The dealkali removal method disclosed in Chinese patent CN119138299A can simultaneously remove alkali and soil, but it relies on calcium nitrate-citric acid composite dealkali removal liquid, which has high raw material costs and a solid-liquid ratio as low as 1:3-6, resulting in high energy consumption for subsequent dehydration.

[0004] High-biomass crops such as sugarcane and forage grass have stringent requirements for soil water retention capacity, aeration, and pH stability. Currently, no technology can simultaneously solve the triple challenges of incomplete red mud dealkalization, poor soil physicochemical properties, and poor compatibility with multiple crops. Therefore, developing red mud utilization technologies that combine efficient dealkalization, soil improvement, and good crop compatibility has significant innovative value. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] The biphasic reaction red mud soilification method provided in this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] (1) Thorough dealkali removal from red mud: Through the innovative spiral reactor, free alkali is removed in a short reaction time with high solid content, while the bound alkali is removed in the subsequent reaction tank, which has the advantage of thorough dealkali removal;

[0034] (2) Improve soil physical and chemical properties: by dissolving aluminum, silicon and other compounds in red mud, and using the combined alkali in the subsequent reaction tank to adjust the pH, and at the same time generating aluminum-silicon composite gel under the action of calcium carbonate, the aluminum-silicon composite gel spontaneously constructs a porous network structure, thereby optimizing its water retention and air permeability, and reducing compaction, etc.

[0035] (3) Multi-crop adaptability: Under the premise of thorough dealkalization and improvement of soil physical and chemical properties, the nutrients in red mud soil are enriched by mixing in biomass waste such as sugarcane bagasse, dead leaves, and rice husks, thereby adapting it to the planting of multiple crops;

[0036] (4) Beneficial effects of the spiral reactor: The spiral reactor in this invention is structurally upgraded, with a focus on optimizing the blade system and the acid dispersion system. This not only ensures the uniformity of red mud crushing and reaction stability, but also efficiently removes free alkali and simultaneously promotes aluminum and silicon dissolution. The key is the high solid-liquid reaction, which increases the concentration of aluminum and calcium ions and makes it easier to form a gel. The generated aluminum-silicon composite gel spontaneously constructs a porous network structure, thereby significantly optimizing its water retention and air permeability. This provides an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for the agricultural resource utilization of red mud and provides a high-quality pretreatment guarantee for the preparation of crop planting substrate.

[0045] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a two-phase reaction red mud soilification method and its application, including the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Red mud is added to a spiral reactor and reacted with dilute sulfuric acid at a high solid-liquid ratio; the concentration of dilute sulfuric acid is 4%-6%.

[0048] The solid-liquid ratio of the reaction between red mud and dilute sulfuric acid in the spiral reactor is 1:1-1:1.5, and the temperature is 30-35℃.

[0049] The reaction time of red mud and dilute sulfuric acid in the spiral reactor is 5-15 minutes.

[0050] The pH value at the end point of the spiral reactor reaction is controlled between 3.0 and 5.5.

[0051] Step 2: Add calcium carbonate to the reaction tank, and continuously feed the reacted red mud into the reaction tank for gelation to obtain dealkalized gel red mud;

[0052] The mass of calcium carbonate added to the reaction tank is 0.5%-1% of the mass of the red mud;

[0053] Step 3: After the obtained dealkali-reduced gel red mud is filtered through a filter press, it is mixed with biomass waste and organic fertilizer;

[0054] The biomass waste residue can be any one or more of sugarcane bagasse, fallen leaves, and rice husks, and the amount of biomass waste residue added is 0.5%-1% of the mass of red mud;

[0055] The amount of organic fertilizer added is 2%-4% of the mass of red mud.

[0056] Step 4: Prepare crop planting substrate by mixing dealkalized gel red mud with biomass waste residue and organic fertilizer.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also discloses the aforementioned spiral reactor. Addressing the problems of feed accumulation, axial backmixing, and localized over-acidity inherent in traditional spiral reactors, this invention improves upon the traditional spiral reactor. The spiral reactor in this invention adopts a horizontal cylindrical structure, with the entire structure inclined at an angle of 3°-5° from the feed inlet to the discharge outlet, achieving material self-flow.

[0058] The spiral reactor includes a shell 2, inside which a feed spiral shaft 3 is rotatably connected. A red mud inlet 1 is provided on the upper side of one end of the shell 2, and a red mud outlet 4 is provided on the lower side of the other end of the shell 2. Inside the shell 2, from the red mud inlet 1 to the red mud outlet 4, there are a feeding section 6, a reaction section 7, and a homogenization section 8 arranged sequentially. The proportions of the length of the spiral reactor occupied by the feeding section 6, the reaction section 7, and the homogenization section 8 are 1 / 4, 2 / 4, and 1 / 4, respectively.

[0059] The housing 2 corresponding to the feeding section 6 is equipped with a feeding section sulfuric acid spray pipe 6-1, and the amount of acid sprayed by the feeding section sulfuric acid spray pipe 6-1 is 20% of the total acid amount; the feeding screw shaft 3 corresponding to the feeding section 6 is equipped with a double-pitch composite blade 6-2, which is a blade with adjacent blade pitches of a, b, a, b arranged alternately, where a is not equal to b, the large pitch blade plays the role of conveying, and the small pitch blade plays the role of crushing.

[0060] The housing 2 corresponding to reaction section 7 is equipped with a sulfuric acid spray nozzle 7-1. The amount of acid sprayed by the sulfuric acid spray nozzle 7-1 is 60% of the total acid. The feed screw shaft 3 corresponding to reaction section 7 is equipped with staggered pitch blades 7-2, wherein the pitch of the staggered pitch blades 7-2 alternately increases or decreases by 8%-12%. Specifically, taking an 8% increase or decrease as an example, the pitch of adjacent blades is a, a 92%, a, a 92% of the arrangement. The staggered pitch blades 7-2 design creates a periodic compression-release cycle, which promotes solid-liquid exchange.

[0061] The homogenization section 8 is housed within the casing 2, which contains a homogenization section sulfuric acid spray nozzle 8-1. The amount of acid sprayed from the homogenization section sulfuric acid spray nozzle 8-1 is 20% of the total acid volume. The feed screw shaft 3 corresponding to the homogenization section 8 is equipped with pitch-decreasing blades 8-2, wherein the pitch of the pitch-decreasing blades 8-2 gradually decreases by 8%-10%. Taking an 8% decrease as an example, the pitches of adjacent blades are a, a... 92%, a 84%, a The arrangement of 76% and so on, in this way, promotes the homogenization of solid and liquid.

[0062] In this embodiment, the double-pitch composite blade 6-2, the staggered pitch blade 7-2, and the pitch decreasing blade 8-2 are all provided with round holes 9 to facilitate the entry of liquid sulfuric acid into the red mud, while also enhancing the uniformity of solid-liquid mixing.

[0063] The feed section sulfuric acid spray pipe 6-1, the reaction section sulfuric acid spray pipe 7-1, and the homogenization section sulfuric acid spray pipe 8-1 are connected to an external dilution tank. The dilution tank contains sulfuric acid solution, and dilute sulfuric acid is pumped into these three pipes using an external pump for spraying. The feed section sulfuric acid spray pipe 6-1, the reaction section sulfuric acid spray pipe 7-1, and the homogenization section sulfuric acid spray pipe 8-1 all use spray heads of the same specification (with the same spray flow rate). The ratio of the number of spray heads in each of these pipes is 1:3:1, ensuring that the amount of acid sprayed within the same time period is 20%, 60%, and 20%, respectively.

[0064] In this embodiment, a circulating water pipe 5 is rotatably connected to the feed screw shaft 3 via bearings. The inlet of the circulating water pipe 5 is on the side of the red mud outlet 4, and the outlet is on the side of the red mud inlet 1. The circulating water temperature is 30-35℃. The circulating water injected into the circulating water pipe 5 serves a cooling function. The end of the feed screw shaft 3 located outside the housing 2 is driven to rotate by an external drive system (such as by connecting it to a motor via a synchronous pulley).

[0065] In this embodiment, a pH online monitoring probe is installed inside the shell 2 at one end near the red mud outlet 4 to monitor the pH value at the reaction endpoint in real time.

[0066] In this embodiment, in step one, the blocky red mud after pressure filtration enters the shell 2 of the spiral reactor through the red mud inlet 1. It is rapidly broken down by the action of the double-pitch composite blades 6-2, the staggered pitch blades 7-2, and the decreasing pitch blades 8-2. Simultaneously, a 5% (w / w) dilute sulfuric acid solution is added at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:1. The acid is sprayed according to the design: 20% from the feed section sulfuric acid spray nozzle 6-1, 60% from the reaction section sulfuric acid spray nozzle 7-1, and 20% from the homogenization section sulfuric acid spray nozzle 8-1. The reaction is carried out at 35℃ and 180 r / min for 10 minutes, with the final pH stabilizing at 5.0. At this stage, the free alkali removal rate reaches 96%, the aluminum dissolution rate is 62%, and the silicon dissolution rate is 48%.

[0067] Red mud mainly consists of 1%-3% free alkali (such as NaOH), 5%-10% structurally bound alkali (such as sodalite, nepheline and other aluminosilicate minerals), and a large amount of amphoteric metal oxides (such as... 10-20%, (7-20%). The reaction principle in this invention is as follows: dilute sulfuric acid first rapidly neutralizes the free alkali, then destroys the mineral lattice of the bound alkali, causing the alkali metal ions to dissolve and be neutralized. Simultaneously, and crucially, it converts the inert aluminum and silicon components into active ones. And silicate ions dissolve. This process not only generates soluble salts (such as...) This process achieves dealkalization and produces the aluminum-silicon composite gel precursor necessary for subsequent gelation.

[0068] Unlike traditional low solid-liquid ratio acid leaching methods, this invention uses a high solid-liquid ratio (1:1-1:1.5) to create a localized high ion concentration environment. Combined with the segmented acid addition design of the spiral reactor, it ensures efficient and uniform reaction, not only achieving thorough dealkali removal (free alkali removal rate of 96%), but more importantly, laying a solid foundation for the in-situ generation of aluminosilicate gel with a porous network structure in step two. This is the key chemical basis for solving soil compaction and improving water retention and air permeability in this invention, and it is also a significant feature that distinguishes it from simple dealkali removal technologies.

[0069] In step two, the red mud discharged from the spiral reactor is continuously fed into the reaction tank, and 0.8% calcium carbonate is added. The mixture is stirred and reacted at 35°C for 75 minutes. Utilizing the combined alkali slow-release effect, the pH rises to 7.3, and an aluminum-silicon composite gel is generated in situ, forming a stable porous network.

[0070] It should be noted that bound alkali refers to deeply bonded alkaline minerals (such as sodalite and nepheline) within the red mud. These differ from surface free alkali (such as NaOH) and are firmly bound within the red mud particles in a crystalline structure. These minerals slowly dissolve under natural conditions, releasing alkaline ions (such as...) This causes the pH value to gradually rise, a process known as the slow-release effect. This invention transforms this "negative effect" into an advantage by actively utilizing the slow-release properties of bound alkali during the gelation stage to achieve a self-recovery of pH, avoiding the use of external acid, while simultaneously promoting the formation of aluminosilicate gel and solving the problem of soil compaction.

[0071] It should be noted that in-situ generation refers to the technology of synthesizing the target product on-site using existing components within the reaction system, without the need for external pre-preparation or addition of finished substances. In this invention, it specifically refers to the direct formation of the aluminum-silicon composite gel within the red mud reaction tank, rather than pre-preparation followed by incorporation. Its core lies in utilizing the aluminum and silicon ions dissolved from the dealkali phase (products within the system) and the bound alkali's slow-release effect to autonomously polymerize into a gel network during pH recovery.

[0072] It should be noted that the added calcium carbonate ( The key reaction occurs between calcium carbonate and the red mud system after acid treatment in step one. The core of this process lies in using a neutralization reaction to achieve precise pH control and promote the formation of characteristic gel products. Specifically, calcium carbonate mainly reacts with the residual dilute sulfuric acid in the system (…). Neutralization reaction occurs:

[0073]

[0074] This reaction consumes the residual free acid, causing the system pH to controllably rise from an acidic environment (3.0-5.5) to near neutral (approximately 7.3). This pH shift is the key switch triggering subsequent gelation; under near-neutral conditions, the active components dissolved in step one (especially aluminum ions) can be released. ( ) and silicate ions no longer exist stably in solution, but instead cross-link in situ through co-precipitation and polymerization to form a hydrated aluminum silicate as the main component, with a small amount of calcium sulfate added. This is due to the unique "aluminum-silicon-calcium" composite gel network of gypsum crystal nuclei. The gel product exhibits a three-dimensional porous structure significantly different from simple dealkalized red mud or ordinary mixtures, such as... Figure 4As shown on the left, its spontaneously constructed loose framework is the fundamental reason for the excellent air permeability and anti-caking properties of the final matrix. Therefore, the addition of calcium carbonate in this invention is not a simple pH adjustment, but rather a creative transformation of harmful acid and alkali residues into components of a beneficial gel skeleton through a precise chemical reaction pathway. This process of product structure reconstruction through a specific chemical reaction sequence constitutes a significant distinguishing feature from existing technologies that only involve physical mixing or simple acid-base neutralization.

[0075] In step three, after the reaction in step two is complete, the mixture is fed into a filter press for solid-liquid separation. The filter cake is the dealkalized gel red mud. The filtrate is diverted to a dilution tank and mixed with sulfuric acid solution, which can then be returned to the system as a diluent. The dealkalized gel red mud is mixed with 1% sugarcane bagasse and 2% organic fertilizer to prepare a crop planting substrate.

[0076] In step four, after the crop planting substrate is completed, it is laid with a thickness of 35cm, and sugarcane, pasture, etc. are planted with a row spacing of 1.1m and a plant spacing of 0.22m, while maintaining the field water holding capacity at 50%.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, the water retention performance of dealkali-gelled red mud and ordinary dealkali-gelled red mud is compared at 40℃. The water retention capacity of dealkali-gelled red mud is better than that of ordinary dealkali-gelled red mud, which can improve the water retention capacity of sugarcane planting areas.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, the dried dealkalized gel red mud ( Figure 4 Left) and ordinary dealkalized red mud ( Figure 4 (Right) Comparison of effects: dried dealkalized gel red mud ( Figure 4 (Left) The interior is filled with a porous structure and has a softer texture, which can improve the ventilation and prevent compaction of sugarcane fields.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, also adds dilute sulfuric acid to the reaction tank, and an online pH monitoring probe is installed on the reaction tank for pH monitoring. Simultaneously, an appropriate amount of calcium carbonate is added to adjust the pH value to 7.3, optimizing the formation of aluminosilicate gel, and extending the reaction time to 2.5 hours. The amount of dilute sulfuric acid added is determined by the pH monitoring probe value; that is, the added dilute sulfuric acid must be combined with the newly added calcium carbonate to adjust the pH value to 7.3. Other technical features in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0081] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
