Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of fluorine-containing sludge, and particularly relates to a preparation process for preparing calcium fluoride spherical material from fluorine-containing sludge. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fluorine-containing waste acid sludge is a byproduct generated in a process of using hydrofluoric acid or an acid containing fluorine ions for processing, and is mainly derived from semiconductor manufacturing, photovoltaic industry, glass etching, metal surface treatment and stainless steel pickling, etc. A large amount of fluorine-containing wastewater is generated in the industrial production process, and the fluorine-containing wastewater is diluted, neutralized with lime, and settled and filtered to form fluorine-containing sludge solid waste. With the rapid development of related industries, a large amount of fluorine-containing wastewater is generated in the production process, and currently, calcium salt or lime is usually added to the fluorine-containing sludge, resulting in an increase in the annual discharge amount of the fluorine-containing sludge. The fluorine-containing sludge mainly contains calcium fluoride, calcium sulfate, silicon dioxide, calcium chloride and related metal impurities such as iron, copper and aluminum, and the fluorine content in the fluorine-containing sludge is high, which poses a serious leaching risk in stacking or landfill, and can cause serious harm to groundwater and the surrounding ecological environment.

[0003] Currently, the fluorine-containing sludge is purified to prepare calcium fluoride, but the calcium fluoride contains a large amount of calcium sulfate and silicon dioxide impurities, and the purity of the calcium fluoride is low, which makes it difficult to utilize the calcium fluoride. Therefore, the application removes the metal impurities such as iron, copper and aluminum, calcium sulfate and silicon dioxide impurities in the calcium fluoride by adopting a dehydration drying process, an acidification process, a fluorination process and an alkalization process, so as to improve the purity of the calcium fluoride and the resource utilization amount of the calcium fluoride in industrial production. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to provide a preparation process for preparing calcium fluoride spherical material from fluorine-containing sludge, which has the effects of resource utilization of fluorine-containing sludge and improvement of the purity of calcium fluoride.

[0005] The above technical objective of the application is achieved by the following technical scheme: a preparation process for preparing calcium fluoride spherical material from fluorine-containing sludge, which comprises a dehydration drying process, an acidification process, a fluorination process, an alkalization process and a granulation process.

[0006] The application further provides that the dehydration drying process comprises stirring the fluorine-containing sludge in a mechanical stirrer for 10 min at a speed of 260 r·min -1 , and then dehydrating the uniformly stirred fluorine-containing sludge in a filter press to obtain a fluorine-containing sludge with a water content of less than 35%. The dehydrated fluorine-containing sludge is dried in a dryer at a temperature of 180-230 DEG C for 120 min.

[0007] The further setting of the application is that the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the acidification process is 5-6%, the liquid-solid ratio is 6:1, the slurry is continuously stirred, the stirring speed is 210 r·min -1 , the slurry temperature is controlled at 15-18 DEG C, the pH is controlled at 3-4, and the acidification time is controlled for 40 min.

[0008] The further setting of the application is that the concentration of hydrogen fluoride in the fluorination process is 20%, the liquid-solid ratio is 0.5-0.8:1, the slurry is continuously stirred, the stirring speed is 210 r·min -1 , the slurry temperature is controlled at 25-30 DEG C, the pH is controlled at 2-3.5, and the fluorination time is controlled for 45 min.

[0009] The further setting of the application is that the alkali leaching solvent in the alkali process is sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride, the concentration of sodium hydroxide is 13%, the concentration of calcium chloride is 6%, the liquid-solid ratio is 3:1, the slurry is continuously stirred, the stirring speed is 250 r·min -1 , the slurry temperature is controlled at 68 DEG C, and the alkali time is controlled for 60 min.

[0010] The further setting of the application is that the granulation process includes that the calcium fluoride separated by filtering after the alkali treatment is subjected to plate and frame filter pressing, the calcium fluoride filter cake is sent to a sunlight room for natural air drying, the air drying is performed until the solid water ratio of the calcium fluoride is less than 4:1, and then the calcium fluoride is sent to a pair roller extrusion granulator for granulation, and the pressure is 30-50 MPa.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the application are:

[0012] (1) In the dehydration and drying process, the fluorine-containing sludge is dried after dehydration, the drying temperature is controlled at 180-230 DEG C, and the drying time is 120 min, in the drying temperature range, the calcium sulfate in the fluorine-containing sludge can be converted into calcium sulfate hemihydrate, because the solubility of calcium sulfate is very low, and the solubility of calcium sulfate hemihydrate is more than 4 times of that of calcium sulfate at 15-20 DEG C; by controlling the drying temperature, the calcium sulfate impurities in the fluorine-containing sludge are converted into calcium sulfate hemihydrate, and the calcium sulfate hemihydrate has the characteristics of fast dissolution rate and high solubility.

[0013] (2) In the acidification process, the solubility of calcium sulfate hemihydrate in the acid solution is significantly higher than that of calcium sulfate, so that more calcium sulfate can be dissolved in the acid solution, the solid-liquid separation is adopted to remove the calcium sulfate in the fluorine-containing sludge, and the purity of calcium fluoride is improved.

[0014] (3) Fluorination process by precise control of hydrogen fluoride concentration, liquid-solid ratio, slurry temperature, pH and time, so that the silicon dioxide in the fluorine-containing sludge fully reacts with hydrogen fluoride to produce silicon tetrafluoride gas, thereby removing the silicon dioxide in calcium fluoride and further improving the purity of calcium fluoride.

[0015] (4) The alkalization process uses sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride as the alkaline leaching solvent to further purify the calcium fluoride solution. Sodium hydroxide can form sodium silicate under alkaline conditions, which can be dissolved in the solution and removed. Calcium chloride can further convert excess fluoride ions in the solution into calcium fluoride precipitate under alkaline conditions, thereby further improving the purity of calcium fluoride.

[0016] (5) The calcium fluoride filter cake is sent to the sunlight room for natural air drying, which is beneficial to reducing energy consumption. The dried calcium fluoride powder is granulated in a roller extrusion granulator to prepare calcium fluoride pellets, which is beneficial to storage and transportation, thereby reducing calcium fluoride dust pollution.
