Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of metallurgy and calcification, in particular to a method for microwave-enhanced "steel slag pre-reduction iron extraction-ammonium salt leaching calcium extraction-CO2 chemical adsorption for preparing light calcium carbonate", and more particularly to a method for steel slag treatment including iron recovery, calcium leaching and carbonation for preparing light calcium carbonate. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the production of each ton of crude steel is accompanied by about 150-250 kg of steel slag by-products and 1.9 tons of carbon dioxide, which causes serious pollution to the environment and also wastes a large amount of land resources. The mass fraction of CaO in steel slag is 20-60%, and the calcium-containing phases mainly include calcium silicate (CaSiO3, CS), dicalcium silicate (Ca2SiO4, C2S), calcium ferrum aluminate and magnesium iron phase solid solution (RO), and a small amount of tricalcium silicate (Ca3SiO5, C3S), free CaO and free MgO, which is an excellent carbon dioxide capture raw material, but the calcium phase is complex, and if the carbon capture capacity is to be improved, the steel slag needs to be treated for calcium extraction. In addition, the steel slag contains rich iron elements, with a mass fraction of Fe2O3 of 10-50%, mainly existing in silicate phases, coexisting with calcium, which is difficult to extract. Therefore, in the pretreatment process of calcium extraction, comprehensive recovery and utilization of iron, calcium and other useful elements in the steel slag is an important means to reduce the environmental pollution in the production of crude steel.
[0003] Current steel slag calcium extraction technologies are mainly based on strong acid, weak acid and ammonium salt leaching systems. Although the strong acid leaching system (such as HCl, H2SO4) can achieve efficient dissolution of calcium elements (leaching rate > 95%), its non-selectivity leads to the simultaneous leaching of Fe 3+ , Al 3+ , Mg 2+ , SiO3 2- and other impurity ions, making it difficult to separate calcium and iron. At the same time, the strong acid system has technical bottlenecks such as serious equipment corrosion and high energy consumption for waste liquid treatment. The weak acid system (such as acetic acid, citric acid) can selectively leach calcium components (Ca 2+ leaching rate 60-75%) by adjusting the pH (2.5-5.0), but its weak coordination ability leads to incomplete dissociation of silicate minerals, and subsequent impurity removal needs to be achieved through multi-stage precipitation (such as calcium oxalate step-by-step crystallization) or ion exchange. The ammonium salt system (such as NH4Cl, NH4NO3) uses the ion exchange mechanism of NH 4+ and Ca 2+ to achieve selective leaching of calcium under near-neutral conditions (pH 6-8), and its environmental compatibility and alkaline characteristics (pH 8.5-9.5) of the leaching solution can improve the efficiency of CO2 chemical absorption by 30-50% compared with acidic systems, so ammonium salt is a better leaching medium compared with strong acid and weak acid.
[0004] However, the leaching rate of calcium ions in the converter slag by ammonium salt is only 60-70%, which has not achieved good results and still needs to be further improved. SUMMARY

[0030] In some embodiments, the content of each main chemical component in the steel slag can be as shown in Table 1: Table 1
[0031] According to an embodiment of the present application, the heating rate of microwave reduction in step (1) is 25-35 ℃ / min, and the heating temperature is 900-1100 ℃.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present application, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic separation in step (1) is 0.15-0.2 T. Thus, the calcium-rich tailings obtained by magnetic separation and the microwave-ammonium salt synergistic leaching system can be jointly subjected to classification treatment, thereby further improving the efficiency and effect of the treatment.

The reaction equation in the above step (1) and step (2) can include: .
[0034] Specifically, in step (1), the steel slag mixture reacts with biomass (containing C) to obtain calcium oxide, iron metal, and produce carbon dioxide. The ferrous oxide can be further reduced to iron metal under the action of carbon. The calcium oxide in the obtained calcium-rich tailings can generate calcium chloride and ammonia gas under the action of ammonium salt solution, and the calcium-rich tailings can also react with ammonium salt to obtain a silicon-rich tailings containing silicon dioxide. At the same time, step (2) can also produce ammonia gas. The carbon dioxide produced in step (1) can be recycled and used in step (3). Similarly, the ammonia gas produced in step (2) can also be recycled, such as dissolving in water to form ammonia water, and used in the subsequent step (3) to adjust the pH value.
[0035] According to the embodiment of the present application, step (2) can be carried out under the action of microwave. The microwave can promote the ion exchange rate of NH 4+ to Ca 2+ , realizing efficient leaching of calcium components.
[0036] In order to further improve the effect of step (2), according to the embodiment of the present application, the concentration of ammonium salt can be 1-4 mol / L, preferably 2-4 mol / L, for example, it can be 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 mol / L.
[0037] According to the embodiment of the present application, the solid-liquid mixing ratio of calcium-rich tailings and ammonium chloride solution is 10-40 g / ml, for example, the mass ratio of calcium-rich tailings to ammonium chloride solution is 1:10-30 g / mL, for example, it can be 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, 1:30 g / mL.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present application, the reaction of the calcium-rich tailings and ammonium chloride under the action of microwaves is carried out under stirring, the stirring rate can be 0-300 rpm (not 0), the reaction time is 0.5-2.5 h, for example, it can be 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 h. The reaction temperature is 30-80 ℃, for example, it can be 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 ℃. The pH value of the calcium-rich supernatant obtained in this step can be 6-8.
[0040] This step can also obtain Si-rich tailings, which can be used to prepare low-carbon cementitious materials, thereby further improving the economic benefits of the method and improving the atomic utilization rate.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present application, in step (3), the calcium-rich supernatant is obtained by filtration, and the pH value of the calcium-rich supernatant is adjusted to 9-11 by using ammonia water in a carbonation reactor, and then a carbonation reaction is carried out, CO2 and generated ammonia gas are introduced into the carbonation reactor to generate white precipitate, and high-purity light calcium carbonate and ammonium chloride solution are obtained by solid-liquid separation, and the ammonium chloride solution can be recycled in step 2. Further, the carbon dioxide gas in this step can be derived from, but not limited to, emissions from steel enterprises, emissions in the steel production process, specifically, the carbon dioxide generated in the aforementioned step (1) can be used; the ammonia gas generated in step 2 is introduced into an ammonia water solution pool, and the ammonia water in the solution pool is introduced into the carbonation reactor for pH adjustment.
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present application, in step (3), the carbon dioxide gas flow during the carbonation process is 5-15 L / (min·L), the carbonation time is 5-30 min, and the reaction temperature is 30-80 ℃.
[0043] By adjusting the alkalinity of the calcium-rich leaching solution with ammonia water (pH 10-12) and coupling the CO2-NH3 gas-liquid mass transfer process, the crystal form of calcium carbonate can be controlled. In order to further improve the effect of this step, the gas flow and the amount of carbon dioxide and ammonia gas introduced during the carbonation reaction can be controlled. In the gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface reaction, the nucleation-growth kinetics of calcite, aragonite and vaterite is controlled by supersaturation and solution ion strength, and high-purity light calcium carbonate (purity ≥98%, whiteness >97%) with a specific surface area >12 m² / g, particle size d<2 μm and adjustable morphology (cube, spindle, needle-like, etc.) can be prepared.
[0044] According to an embodiment of the present application, the pH value of the ammonia water can be 9-11, for example, can be 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11. The temperature of the carbonation process is 30-80 ℃, for example, can be 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 ℃. The gas flow of the carbonation process is 5-15 L / (min·L), for example, can be 5, 10, 14.4 L / (min·L). The time of the carbonation process is 5-30 min, for example, can be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 min.
[0045] For example, according to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , the method can specifically include three main processes, i.e., microwave reduction iron extraction, microwave-ammonium salt synergistic calcium extraction, and carbon dioxide capture to prepare calcium carbonate.
[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the microwave reduction iron extraction process, the steel slag biomass is mixed in proportion to prepare steel slag biomass pellets, microwave reduction, the generated carbon dioxide gas is collected through pipeline 2 into the gas collection tank 3 for storage, and the gas collection tank 3 can also store the carbon dioxide discharged by the steel enterprise. The reduction product is subjected to magnetic separation 4 to obtain metallic iron 5 and calcium-rich slag 6. Subsequently, the calcium-rich slag 6 is subjected to microwave-ammonium salt synergistic calcium extraction treatment, which is added into an ammonium chloride solution and can be reacted under the action of microwaves. After passing through the solid-liquid separation device 8, the silicon-rich tailings 9 and the calcium-rich leaching solution are obtained and stored in the calcium-rich leaching solution pool 10. The silicon-rich tailings 9 (i.e., the calcium-rich filter residue in Figure 2 ) can be used to prepare low-carbon gel materials. The ammonia gas generated in this step can be supplied to the ammonia water pool 14 through pipeline 13 for recycling. The calcium-rich leaching solution in the calcium-rich leaching solution pool 10 enters the porous micro-bubble generator 12 to prepare calcium carbonate, and the copper dioxide collected in the previous step can be supplied to the porous micro-bubble generator 12 for use. The ammonia gas generated in this step can also be supplied to the ammonia water pool 14 through pipeline 13. The ammonia water prepared in the ammonia water pool 14 can be supplied to the porous micro-bubble generator 12 for use. The product of the porous micro-bubble generator 12 can be subjected to solid-liquid separation using the same solid-liquid separator 8 as in the previous step to obtain high-purity calcium carbonate product 15, and the liquid ammonium chloride solution can be stored in the ammonium chloride solution pool 7 for use in microwave-ammonium salt synergistic calcium extraction. In general, the method proposed in the present application has the following advantages: (1) The present application uses microwaves to pre-reduce the steel slag, and the dicalcium ferrite, calcium ferrite, and other iron-calcium compounds in the steel slag that do not react with ammonium salt are reduced, and the metallic iron product and calcium-rich tailings that can be directly reused for steelmaking are obtained by magnetic separation.

[0048] (3) The application uses inexpensive ammonium chloride as a leaching agent to realize selective leaching of calcium under near-neutral conditions (pH 6-8), and the alkaline characteristics of the leaching solution can significantly enhance the CO2 chemical absorption efficiency; at the same time, the generated ammonia gas can be used to adjust the alkalinity of the calcium-rich supernatant in the carbonation reactor, which not only has low production cost, but also can be recycled, and the NH4Cl regeneration rate is greater than 95%.
[0049] (4) The application is a whole process of recycling, which combines microwave dielectric heating, the carbon-neutral characteristics of the biomass reducing agent, and the closed-loop recycling system of ammonium salt, to form a full-chain value-added utilization mode of "reduction separation-leaching carbonation-medium regeneration" of the iron and calcium components of the steel slag, and there is no waste gas, waste water and waste residue emission in the whole process.
[0050] (5) The application realizes the value-added utilization of steel slag, provides a clean production technology scheme with dual benefits of solid waste resource utilization and carbon emission reduction for the steel industry, and achieves the purpose of waste treatment.
[0051] In another aspect of the application, the application provides a calcium carbonate obtained by recycling steel slag. The calcium carbonate is obtained by the method described above, and the purity of the calcium carbonate is not less than 98%.

[0057] The detection results of the metallization rates of examples 1-4 are shown in table 2 below: Table 2
[0058] Example 5 microwave-ammonium salt leaching of calcium elements The calcium-rich tailings come from example 4 with the highest metallization rate.

[0064] Example 10 carbonation for preparing high-purity light calcium carbonate The calcium-rich leaching solution comes from example 9 with the optimal leaching rate. The pH of the calcium-rich leaching solution is adjusted to 9 with ammonia water, and then placed in a carbonation reactor. Subsequently, blast furnace flue gas and ammonia gas are introduced into the carbonation reactor at a rate of 5 L / (min·L) to simulate the carbonation reaction.

At the same time, CS and C3S are transformed into C2S, which is more readily reacted with ammonium salts. Magnetic separation for iron removal not only facilitates the recovery of iron but also further improves the leaching rate of calcium.
[0071] Ammonium salts can selectively leach calcium from steel slag, and the leachate is alkaline, which is conducive to the carbonation reaction.
[0072] Microwave on Ca in steel slag 2+ Leaching rate has a promoting effect, at 720 W Ca 2+ The leaching rate was 90.3%, compared to 63.35% without microwave treatment, Ca... 2+ The leaching rate was increased by 27.95%, the reaction time was shortened by 60 min, the concentration of the leaching agent was reduced to 1 / 3, and the production cost was reduced.
[0073] Adjusting the pH of the leachate with ammonia water yields high-purity calcium carbonate. The high pH of the calcium-rich supernatant promotes the carbonation reaction. As the reaction temperature increases, the CaCO3 crystal form transforms from calcite to aragonite, and the particle size decreases from 12-15 µm to 2-4 µm. Aragonite-type calcium carbonate products can be used in cutting-edge fields such as medical materials and food.
