Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ore metallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for extracting aluminum oxide from gasification furnace slag. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gasification furnace slag is a common byproduct of coal chemical industry, and the annual discharge amount in China is nearly 100 million tons. Long-term accumulation of gasification furnace slag not only occupies land resources, but also easily causes soil and water pollution, becoming an urgent environmental and resource management problem. As a core raw material in the fields of aluminum industry, ceramics, chemical industry, etc., the annual demand for aluminum oxide in China exceeds 80 million tons, but high-quality bauxite resources are increasingly scarce, and the contradiction between supply and demand of resources is prominent. The content of aluminum oxide in gasification furnace slag can reach 20% to 40%, which has extremely high utilization value. Extracting aluminum oxide from the slag can not only realize the resource utilization of solid waste and relieve environmental pressure, but also supplement the supply of aluminum oxide raw materials, reduce the dependence on high-quality bauxite in the industry, and has significant environmental and economic values. It is of great significance to guarantee the sustainable development of the aluminum industry and improve the comprehensive utilization level of gasification furnace slag. In recent years, the efficient utilization of gasification furnace slag has become the focus of attention in the scientific research and industrial circles, and a series of new technologies and new processes have emerged. However, these emerging processes still face many challenges in practical application. Traditional alkali lime sintering method: This method uses sodium carbonate and limestone as sintering agents to convert aluminum oxide into sodium aluminate and silicon into calcium silicate to realize separation at high temperature. Although this method is mature, the reaction activity of sodium carbonate and aluminum minerals is low, and the reaction can only be promoted at a high temperature of 1350 to 1400 DEG C. High temperature not only increases energy consumption, but also easily leads to excessive sintering of the furnace charge, thereby reducing the subsequent leaching efficiency. At the same time, the calcium silicate generated by the reaction of limestone and silicon easily wraps the unreacted aluminum minerals, resulting in low aluminum leaching rate and incomplete separation of silicon and aluminum. Metal sintering method: Alkali metal salts such as potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate are used as activators to generate oxides by high-temperature decomposition, which react with aluminum oxide to generate soluble aluminate. Although the metal sintering method can reduce the sintering temperature, the cost of alkali metal salts is high, and the alkali metal salts are easily volatilized at high temperature, resulting in high consumption of alkali metal salts and low recovery rate, which is difficult to be applied on a large scale. Acid or alkali direct leaching: This method uses inorganic strong acid or strong base to convert aluminum oxide in the raw material into soluble aluminum salt or sodium aluminate solution. Since 20% to 30% of aluminum in the gasification furnace slag exists in the form of mullite with stable crystal structure, the crystal lattice is difficult to be destroyed under normal pressure conditions to form effective dissolution, resulting in that the aluminum leaching rate is generally lower than 60%. In addition, separate alkali leaching cannot recover the aluminum in the magnesium aluminum spinel phase in the gasification furnace slag, causing waste of aluminum resources. Acid leaching will cause the synchronous dissolution of silicon, iron and other impurities, which increases the cost and easily leads to aluminum loss. Based on the above technical shortcomings, it is of great value to design an extraction method that can reduce energy consumption, reduce impurities and improve yield.
[0003] Patent CN104609451A discloses a preparation process of dry sintering aluminum trioxide, comprising the following steps: (1) grinding step: adding limestone, sodium carbonate and nitrogen-containing compound into bauxite, mixing according to a certain proportion, and grinding into raw meal powder; grinding the mixed raw meal with a certain fineness according to the proportion; (2) the raw meal obtained in step 1 is transported to the preheater located at the tail of the rotary kiln, wherein the preheater comprises two cyclones and a decomposition furnace, the two cyclones are communicated, and the decomposition furnace is communicated with one of the cyclones; (3) the auxiliary feeding port is arranged at the discharge port of one of the cyclones, and the reducing agent coke powder is added through the auxiliary feeding port; the raw meal preheated by the preheater and the coke powder are calcined in the rotary kiln; (4) the calcined product of step 3 is cooled to obtain aluminum trioxide clinker. The cooled aluminum trioxide clinker is dissolved by alkali solution, and finally the self-pulverization rate of the aluminum trioxide clinker is more than 92%, and the clinker dissolution rate is more than 90%. Although the technology realizes the extraction of aluminum trioxide by sintering and acid leaching, it is essentially a traditional lime sintering method designed for bauxite raw materials. The technology has the following limitations: first, the method is only suitable for bauxite, and has poor adaptability to gasification furnace slag with high silicon-aluminum ratio and containing a large amount of mullite and other stable crystal phases, and the aluminum conversion rate is low; second, the purification step is simple, only iron is removed by acid leaching, and there is no deep purification step for other impurities such as magnesium and calcium, so the removal effect is not good, and it is difficult to obtain high-purity products. Therefore, the existing technology cannot achieve the goal of efficiently and highly purifying aluminum from gasification furnace slag. SUMMARY

The test results are as follows: Table 1 Product purity and impurity content test table Sample origin Al2O3purity (mass %) Main impurity content (mass fraction / %) Total aluminum recovery rate (%) SiO2Fe2O3MgOCaO Example 1 97.3 0.3 10.1 20.0 0.15 86.2 Example 2 97.2 0.3 20.3 10.1 0.15 88.5 Example 3 97.4 0.2 5.0 14.0 0.09 89.5 Example 4 97.2 0.3 5.0 30.3 0.07 88.2 Example 5 97.2 0.3 20.3 15.0 0.10 87.4 Example 6 97.3 0.3 7.3 10.2 0.17 89.3 Comparative Example 1 93.4 13.1 20.4 50.2 0.52 75.6 Comparative Example 2 94.5 8.1 10.5 95.0 0.15 72.3 Comparative Example 3 94.2 3.1 52.3 50.8 0.40 74.8 Comparative Example 4 93.8 3.4 0.5 20.2 0.45 74.2 Comparative Example 5 94.5 2.9 5.0 30.0 0.38 78.1 Comparative Example 6 94.8 1.8 0.3 8.3 0.55 68.9 Comparative Example 7 93.6 2.6 1.5 50.2 0.50 73.5 Comparative Example 8 90.1 1.7 5.0 45.0 0.42 70.0 Comparative Example 9 90.9 1.6 21.4 0.3 0.48 68.3 From the above detection data, it can be seen that: (1) The total aluminum recovery rate of Examples 1-6 is stable at 86.2%-89.5%, and the purity of aluminum oxide is higher than 97%, and the impurity content is significantly lower than that of each comparative example, indicating that through the synergistic process of pre-activated sintering agent and stepwise acid and alkali leaching purification, the impurity elements such as silicon, iron, magnesium and calcium can be effectively separated. This proves that the method of the present application has stable and excellent effect in the range of the set process parameters.
[0042] (2) By comparing Examples 1-6, it can be seen that the purity of aluminum oxide of the example with higher quality dolomite is higher than that of the example with lower quality dolomite, and the silicon oxide impurity content is also lower, indicating that higher proportion of dolomite can optimize the impurity removal effect. There is no obvious difference in purity, impurity and recovery rate between Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3 and Comparative Examples 4, 5, 6, indicating that the sintering temperature of the reaction system is 1000-1100℃, and it is feasible to select the sintering temperature of 1000℃.
[0043] (3) It can be seen from Comparative Example 1 that using sintering agent without calcium fluoride will cause the purity and recovery rate of aluminum to decrease, and the content of impurity silicon oxide to increase significantly, proving that calcium fluoride as a flux is crucial for promoting sintering reaction and realizing effective silicon-aluminum separation.
[0044] (4) It can be seen from Comparative Example 2 that using the sintering agent without heating activation will reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the contents of impurities such as silicon oxide and iron oxide will significantly increase, indicating that the pre-activation step can improve the reactivity of the sintering agent, and help to more completely separate the impurities such as iron in the subsequent leaching.
[0045] (5) It can be seen from Comparative Example 3 that reducing the heating activation temperature of the sintering agent from 900°C to 800°C will reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the contents of impurities such as silicon oxide and iron oxide will significantly increase, indicating that insufficient pre-activation temperature will reduce the reactivity of the sintering agent, and the pre-activation at 900°C can ensure the high reactivity of the sintering agent.
[0046] (6) It can be seen from Comparative Example 4 that changing the mass ratio of the sintering agent to the gasification furnace slag from 1.5:1 to 1:1 will reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the contents of impurities, especially silicon oxide, will significantly increase. It indicates that insufficient sintering agent will lead to reduced aluminum conversion rate and incomplete separation of silicon and aluminum, and the mass ratio of 1.5:1 of the sintering agent to the gasification furnace slag is the optimal ratio for achieving sufficient reaction and efficient separation.
[0047] (7) It can be seen from Comparative Example 5 that reducing the alkali leaching temperature from 90°C to 80°C will reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the content of impurity silicon oxide will significantly increase, indicating that reducing the alkali leaching temperature will lead to reduced leaching efficiency, and the condition of 90°C can improve the separation of silicon and aluminum and the alkali leaching efficiency.
[0048] (8) It can be seen from Comparative Example 6 that removing the acid leaching step will reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the contents of impurities, especially silicon oxide and magnesium oxide, will significantly increase, proving that the acid leaching step is a key link in the process and is indispensable for recovering aluminum in the spinel phase of the alkali leaching residue and effectively removing magnesium impurities.
[0049] (9) It can be seen from Comparative Example 7 that changing the concentration of the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution used in the acid leaching step from 5 mol / L to 3 mol / L will reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the contents of impurities such as silicon oxide and iron oxide will significantly increase, indicating that reducing the concentration of hydrochloric acid will lead to incomplete dissolution of the insoluble aluminum phase and poor impurity separation, and 5 mol / L hydrochloric acid can achieve efficient acid leaching.
[0050] (10) It can be seen from Comparative Example 8 that changing the stepwise flow rate to a fixed flow rate in the mixing step of the acid leaching solution and the alkali leaching solution will significantly reduce the purity and recovery rate of aluminum, and the contents of impurities such as silicon oxide, iron oxide, and magnesium oxide will significantly increase, indicating that not controlling the pH in stages will lead to co-precipitation of impurities and reduced product purity, and the stepwise flow rate control helps to improve the purity and recovery rate.
[0051] (11) It can be seen from Comparative Example 9 that changing the end point pH of carbon dioxide introduction from 10.5 to 9.5 will greatly reduce the purity and recovery of aluminum, and the contents of impurities silicon oxide and iron oxide will significantly increase, indicating that reducing the end point pH of carbon dioxide introduction will exceed the best precipitation stability interval of aluminum hydroxide and cause more impurities to coprecipitate or adsorb, and the end point pH of 10.5 can ensure complete precipitation of aluminum hydroxide and maintain good impurity removal performance.
