[0040] Example 4 In this embodiment, a titanium scrap recycling method is proposed, comprising the following steps: Step one: mechanical pretreatment The titanium scrap to be treated is pretreated by mechanical crushing and magnetic separation equipment in turn: (1) tearing treatment: using double-shaft shredder (power ≥ 15 kW), blade gap adjustment to 8-12 mm, feed size ≤100 mm, processing capacity 1-3 t / h. The large titanium scrap is torn to a size convenient for subsequent crushing; (2) crushing treatment: using jaw crusher (feed inlet ≥200×300 mm), discharge outlet adjustment to 3-15 mm, crushing ratio 1:3-1:5, so that the titanium scrap size is uniform in the range of 3-15 mm, of which 3-5 mm accounts for 30-40%, 5-10 mm accounts for 40-50%, and 10-15 mm accounts for 10-20%; (3) primary magnetic separation: using dry magnetic separator (magnetic field strength 0.6-0.8 T), removing iron impurity particles with particle size greater than 1 mm, feed uniformity control in ±10%, belt speed 0.8-1.5 m / s, magnetic impurity removal rate ≥90%.
[0041] Quality control: the crushed titanium scrap should have no obvious long strip and flaky particles, aspect ratio ≤3:1, particle size distribution meets the set range, and magnetic impurity content ≤0.5%. The pretreated titanium scrap with uniform particle size and low magnetic impurity content is obtained, providing suitable material state for the subsequent cleaning process. This step is a conventional technique in the art, but the particle size control and magnetic separation impurity removal lay the foundation for the implementation of the subsequent innovative cleaning process.
[0042] Step two: water softening pretreatment Before preparing the cleaning solution, the raw water is pretreated for softening to remove calcium and magnesium ions.
[0043] Method one: ion exchange resin softening method, using 001×7 strong acid cation exchange resin, resin layer height 60-100 cm, water flow rate 8-15 m / h, when the water hardness ≤50 mg / L, stop softening; Method two: chemical precipitation softening method, adding industrial grade sodium carbonate to the raw water.
[0044] Chemical softening operation: First, the hardness of raw water is measured (EDTA titration method, GB / T 5750.4-2006), and 1.1-1.3 times of the theoretical dosage of sodium carbonate is added. The dosage calculation formula is: sodium carbonate dosage (mg / L) = 0.94 x total hardness (mg / L CaCO3).
[0045] Stirring at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, precipitate softening reaction: sodium carbonate reacts with calcium ions to form calcium carbonate precipitate; sodium carbonate reacts with magnesium ions under hydrolysis conditions to form magnesium hydroxide precipitate. After 60-120 minutes of standing and precipitation, 5-15 mg / L of sodium hexametaphosphate is added to the supernatant to form a stable soluble complex with the residual calcium and magnesium ions (residual amount ≤50 mg / L) through polydentate complexation. 2 ⁺and Mg 2 ⁺content in the treated water is measured using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, the total hardness is calculated, and the treated water hardness is required to be ≤50 mg / L (calculated as CaCO3), the pH value is 7.5-8.5, and the turbidity is ≤5 NTU. The softened water obtained meets the requirements of subsequent cleaning solution preparation and is used to prepare a composite cleaning solution.
[0046] Step three: preparation of composite cleaning solution A double-layer chelating system and a ternary buffer system are used to prepare the cleaning solution, and the specific component specifications and addition methods are as follows: (1) Sacrificial chelating agent addition: add analytical pure sodium citrate to the softened water, and control the concentration at 0.5-1.0 g / L, preferably 0.7-0.8 g / L. Use an electromagnetic stirrer to stir at a speed of 300-500 rpm for 5-10 minutes until completely dissolved. The stability constant lgK of this chelating agent with calcium, magnesium, and iron ions is 3.2, 2.9, and 25.1, respectively, which preferentially complexes with residual Ca 2 ⁺, Mg 2 ⁺, Fe 2 ⁺, Mn 2 ⁺, and other interfering ions. (2) Functional chelating agent addition: add analytical pure ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt or diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, and control the concentration at 1.0-2.0 g / L, preferably 1.3-1.7 g / L. Continue stirring for 10-15 minutes until completely dissolved. The stability constant lgK of this chelating agent with Fe 3 ⁺, Cu 2 ⁺, and Al 3 ⁺ is 25.1, 18.8, and 16.5, respectively, which specifically complexes with impurity metal ions on the surface of titanium chips. (3) Biological surfactant addition: add biosynthetic rhamnolipid (molecular formula C 26 H 48O9, molecular weight 520.66, purity ≥95%, surface tension ≤30 mN / m) or saponin surfactants (such as tea saponin, molecular formula C 57 H 90 O 26 , molecular weight 1221.33, purity ≥90%) at a concentration of 0.2-0.8 g / L, preferably at a concentration of 0.4-0.6 g / L. Stir at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until the solution is uniform and transparent, and use it to emulsify the cutting fluid and mineral oil on the surface of the titanium chips into droplets with a diameter of 1-10 microns; (4) Construction of a ternary buffer system: Add analytical grade disodium hydrogen phosphate, anhydrous sodium carbonate, and triethanolamine in sequence, with a mass ratio of 2:1:1, and a total concentration of 2.0-4.0 g / L, preferably a total concentration of 2.5-3.5 g / L. After stirring and dissolving, use a pH meter to measure and adjust the pH of the cleaning solution to be stable within the range of 7.0-8.5, preferably 7.5-8.0; (5) Add dispersant: Add sodium polyacrylate (molecular weight 5000-15000, solid content ≥90%) at a concentration of 0.1-0.3 g / L, preferably at a concentration of 0.15-0.25 g / L. Finally, stir for 5-8 minutes to prevent calcium and magnesium salt precipitates from aggregating into particles with a particle size greater than 100 nanometers.
[0047] After adding the above components in sequence and thoroughly stirring and mixing, a clear, pH-stable, double-chelate-containing, biosurfactant, ternary buffer, and dispersant composite cleaning solution is obtained, with a surface tension of 25-35 mN / m and a conductivity of 2-8 mS / cm.
[0048] Step four: ultrasonic cleaning After pretreatment, immerse the titanium chips in the prepared composite cleaning solution and use a multi-frequency ultrasonic cleaning device for cleaning. Equipment requirements: ultrasonic cleaning tank volume ≥10L, equipped with dual-frequency or triple-frequency ultrasonic transducers (20-40 kHz adjustable), total power ≥300W, power density controlled at 0.8-1.5 W / cm 2 , preferably 1.0-1.2 W / cm 2 . Operating conditions: cleaning solution temperature controlled at 25-45°C, preferably 30-40°C; mass ratio of titanium chips to cleaning solution is 1:3-1:5, preferably 1:4; the liquid level of the cleaning solution should be 2-5 cm higher than the surface of the titanium chips.
[0049] Cleaning process: After starting the ultrasonic device, the cavitation phenomenon (i.e. the formation, growth and collapse process of micro-bubbles in the liquid) generated by the ultrasonic waves in the cleaning solution produces micro-jets with a diameter of 1-5 microns and local high pressure shock waves with a pressure of 10-50 MPa on the surface of the titanium chips, which promotes the chelating agent molecules to rapidly penetrate into the micropores and cracks on the surface of the titanium chips with a depth of 1-20 microns, and to react with the metal ions such as Fe 3 ⁺, Cu 2 ⁺, Al 3 ⁺ to form stable water-soluble complexes, and the reaction equation is EDTA 4 ⁻ + Fe 3 ⁺ → [Fe-EDTA]⁻, EDTA 4 ⁻ + Cu 2 ⁺ → [Cu-EDTA] 2 ⁻, EDTA 4 ⁻ + Al 3 ⁺ → [Al-EDTA]⁻. At the same time, the acoustic streaming effect (flow rate 1-10 cm / s) and the periodic oscillation of the cavitation bubbles generated by the ultrasonic waves promote the rearrangement of the biosurfactant molecules at the oil-water interface, reducing the oil-water interfacial tension from 72 mN / m for pure water to 20-35 mN / m, and emulsifying the attached cutting fluid and mineral oil into stable droplets with a diameter of 1-10 microns. The cleaning time is controlled at 10-20 minutes, preferably 15 minutes. Intermediate product detection: sample every 5 minutes to detect the metal ion concentration (using atomic absorption spectrometry) and surface tension (using a surface tension meter) in the cleaning solution, when the Fe 3 ⁺ concentration is ≥10 mg / L and the surface tension is ≤35 mN / m, it indicates that the cleaning is sufficient. Finally, the wet titanium chips with surface-attached water-soluble metal complexes and emulsified oil droplets are obtained, the surface of the titanium chips is silver-gray luster, and there is no obvious oil stain residue.
[0050] Step five: high-pressure spray cleaning A multi-angle high-pressure spray system is used to flush and clean the wet titanium chips after ultrasonic cleaning. Equipment requirements: high-pressure cleaning machine pressure ≥ 1.0 MPa, equipped with fan-shaped nozzles (spray angle 90-120°) and straight-flow nozzles, flow rate ≥ 20 L / min; the spray tank is equipped with a screen separation device and a backflow water circulation system. Operating conditions: the spray pressure is set to 0.3-0.8 MPa, preferably 0.5-0.6 MPa; the spray water flow temperature is controlled at 40-60°C, preferably 45-55°C; the distance between the nozzles and the surface of the titanium chips is kept at 10-20 cm, preferably 12-15 cm; multiple nozzles are arranged at an angle of 60° to ensure full coverage of the titanium chip surface.
[0051] Cleaning process: First, use the fan-shaped nozzle for large area flushing for 2-3 minutes to remove loose attachments, then use the straight-flow nozzle for fine flushing of key parts for 3-5 minutes. The mechanical scouring force (shear stress 10-100 Pa) generated by the spray water flow will strip the metal complex and emulsified oil droplets loosely attached to the surface of titanium chips and carry them away, preventing the pollutants from re-depositing on the cleaned surface. During the spraying process, the water flow shear force further reduces the emulsified oil droplet size to 0.5-5 microns and stabilizes its dispersion in the wastewater, completing the complete separation of oil stains from the surface of titanium chips.
[0052] The cleaning time is controlled at 5-10 minutes, preferably 7 minutes. Intermediate product detection: Collect wastewater samples during the cleaning process, and use a turbidimeter to measure the turbidity of the wastewater. When the wastewater turbidity is ≤10 NTU, it indicates that the surface contaminants have been basically removed. Quality judgment: Visually, the surface of the titanium chips should present a uniform silver-white metallic luster, without obvious oil stain spots and color differences. Finally, clean titanium chips with a surface metal ion and oil stain removal rate of more than 95% are obtained, with a surface roughness Ra≤3.2 μm.
[0053] Step six: ultrasonic rinsing After spraying cleaning, the titanium chips are immersed in clean softened water at a temperature of 25-35°C for ultrasonic rinsing to remove chelating agents, surfactants, and buffer agents and other cleaning agent components remaining on the surface of the titanium chips. Rinsing water requirements: conductivity ≤50 μS / cm, pH value 6.5-7.5, suspended solids ≤10 mg / L. Equipment parameters: ultrasonic frequency and power density are the same as in step four (20-40 kHz, 0.8-1.5 W / cm 2 ), and the mass ratio of titanium chips to rinsing water is 1:2-1:3, preferably 1:2.5.
[0054] Rinsing operation: It is carried out in two times, the first rinsing for 3-4 minutes, and then the titanium chips are taken out and drained for 30 seconds, and then fresh rinsing water is used for the second rinsing for 2-4 minutes. The titanium chips are stirred every 2 minutes during the rinsing process to ensure uniform rinsing. The rinsing water replacement standard: when the conductivity is ≥100 μS / cm or the pH value deviates from 7.0±1.0, new water should be used.
[0055] Residual detection: Take the rinsed titanium chip sample, extract the surface residues with deionized water, and use ion chromatography to detect the chelating agent content and spectrophotometry to detect the surfactant content. The requirements are that the chelating agent residue is ≤5 mg / kg, the surfactant residue is ≤3 mg / kg, and the total residual amount is ≤10 mg / kg. Rinsed titanium chips with a clean surface and qualified cleaning agent residues are obtained.
[0056] Step seven: secondary spray rinsing The second rinsing of the titanium chips is performed using deionized water with a temperature of 25-35 °C and a conductivity of < 20 μS / cm to further remove the cleaning agent components remaining on the surface of the titanium chips. Equipment requirements: low-pressure spraying system equipped with atomizing nozzles (atomizing particle size 50-200 μm), water flow 10-15 L / min.
[0057] Operating conditions: the spraying pressure is controlled at 0.2-0.5 MPa, preferably 0.3 MPa; the distance between the nozzle and the titanium chips is 8-15 cm, preferably 10 cm; reciprocating spraying is used, covering each part of the titanium chip surface > 2 times; the spraying time is controlled at 3-5 minutes, preferably 4 minutes.
[0058] Water quality monitoring: during the spraying process, waste water is collected and the conductivity of the waste water is monitored in real time using a conductivity meter. When the conductivity of the waste water is < 30 μS / cm, it indicates that the rinsing is complete. Final detection: the total residual amount of cleaning agent on the surface of the titanium chips is < 5 mg / kg, the pH value is 6.8-7.2, and the moisture content is 15-25%. A clean and moist titanium chip with a uniform silver-white metallic luster is obtained.
[0059] Step eight: three-stage dehydration drying The moist titanium chip after cleaning and rinsing is sequentially subjected to three-stage dehydration drying treatment: (1) Cold air dehydration stage: a centrifugal fan (power > 3 kW) is used to generate normal temperature air (20-30 °C) with a wind speed of 15-25 m / s to blow the titanium chips. The titanium chip layer thickness is < 5 cm, the blowing time is 10-15 minutes, preferably 12 minutes. The free water attached to the surface of the titanium chip is removed by forced convection. The water removed in this stage accounts for about 60-70% of the total moisture content; (2) Hot air dehydration stage: a hot air circulating drying device is used, with a set temperature of 80-120 °C, preferably 90-110 °C, a wind speed of 10-20 m / s, preferably 15 m / s, and a relative humidity of < 60%. The titanium chips are evenly spread in a perforated tray with a thickness of < 3 cm, and the treatment time is 20-30 minutes, preferably 25 minutes. The combined water in the capillary pores inside the titanium chip and the micro-concave places on the surface is removed by heat convection. The water removed in this stage accounts for about 25-35% of the total moisture content; (3) Drying treatment stage: a forced circulation oven or a fluidized bed dryer is used, with a set temperature of 150-200 °C, preferably 170-180 °C, and a drying time of 30-60 minutes, preferably 45 minutes. The titanium chips are placed in a single layer to ensure uniform heating, and the residual combined water and internal deep water are removed.
[0060] Moisture content testing: Samples were taken and weighed after each stage. The weight change was measured using an electronic balance (accuracy 0.1 mg), and the moisture content was calculated using the formula: Moisture content (%) = (Wet weight - Dry weight) / Dry weight × 100%. The final requirement is that the titanium scrap has a moisture content ≤ 0.1%, with no visible water marks on the surface, and exhibits a dry, silvery-white metallic luster. Dry titanium scrap meeting storage and sorting requirements is obtained.
[0061] Step Nine: Multi-stage sorting and purification The dried titanium shavings are then purified through the following sorting process: (1) Secondary magnetic separation process: A high-intensity magnetic separator (magnetic field strength ≥ 0.8 T) is used to remove ferromagnetic impurity particles with a particle size greater than 0.5 mm. The feeding speed is controlled at 1-3 t / h, the belt speed is 0.5-1.2 m / s, and the separation efficiency is ≥ 95%. (2) High-density inclusion separation process: Heavy medium separation or shaking table separation is adopted to remove inclusions with a density greater than 6.0 g / cm³ by utilizing density differences. 3 Heavy metal impurities (titanium density is 4.5 g / cm³) 3 For heavy dielectrics, ferrosilicon powder is used, and the dielectric density is controlled at 5.5-6.0 g / cm³. 3 Sorting accuracy ≥90%; (3) Oxide scrap color sorting process: A photoelectric color sorter equipped with an RGB+near-infrared spectral detection system is used to separate silvery-white metallic titanium scraps from grayish-black titanium oxide scraps based on color differences. Light source power ≥1000 W, scanning frequency ≥2000 Hz, recognition accuracy ≥0.5 mm 2 The accuracy rate for elimination is ≥98%; (4) High-density inclusion X-ray sorting process: A dual-energy X-ray transmission sorting machine is used to remove heavy metal impurities (such as Cu, Zn, Pb, etc.) with atomic numbers greater than titanium (atomic number 22) by utilizing the difference in atomic number. The X-ray tube voltage is 80-160 kV, the current is 0.5-3 mA, the detection resolution is ≤1 mm, and the sorting accuracy is ≥95%. (5) Alloy grade laser sorting process: Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) sorting equipment is used to classify pure titanium chips (Ti≥99.5%) and titanium alloy chips containing alloying elements such as vanadium and aluminum according to differences in elemental composition. Laser power ≥10 mJ, pulse frequency ≥20 Hz, detected elements include V, Al, Sn, Mo, etc., and the composition detection accuracy is ≤0.1%; (6) Manual sorting process: On a sorting table with light intensity ≥1000 lux, skilled operators remove titanium chips with abnormal shape (length-to-diameter ratio >10:1) and obvious surface defects (cracks, pits, etc.). The sorting speed is ≤50 kg / h·person. (7) Three-stage magnetic separation process: using high gradient magnetic separator (magnetic field strength > 1.5 T) to remove fine ferromagnetic impurities with particle size less than 0.5 mm, medium steel wool or steel wire mesh, processing capacity 1-5 t / h; (8) Weighing and packaging process: using a vibrating screen to separate according to different specifications (3-5 mm, 5-10 mm, 10-15 mm), then weighing with an electronic scale (accuracy < 10 g), and filling into moisture-proof woven bags, each bag weighing 25 ± 0.5 kg.
[0062] Quality detection: randomly selected samples for component analysis (using ICP-OES or XRF), titanium content > 99.5%, main impurity content: Fe < 0.2%, C < 0.08%, N < 0.03%, O < 0.15%, H < 0.012%. Obtain high-purity titanium scrap products that meet the requirements of national standard GB / T 3620.1-2016.

[0066] 4. Experimental steps (1) Sample pretreatment: titanium scrap samples were degreased with acetone, washed with deionized water, dried at 120°C for 2 hours, and weighed to record the initial weight.
[0067] (2) Artificial pollution: clean titanium scrap was immersed in a mixed solution containing Fe 3 ⁺(50mg / L), Cu 2 ⁺(30mg / L), and Al 3 ⁺(20mg / L) for 30 minutes, then coated with mineral oil (about 5ml / 100g titanium scrap) to form standard pollution samples with surface metal ion contents of Fe 3 ⁺(80-120mg / kg), Cu 2 ⁺(50-80mg / kg), and Al 3 ⁺(30-50mg / kg).

[0069] 5. Experimental results Table 1 Comparison of cleaning effects of different cleaning methods 6. Analysis and summary The experimental results show that the chelating agent-biosurfactant-buffer system synergistic cleaning method of the present application is significantly better than the traditional single cleaning method in terms of metal ion removal and oil stain removal. The removal rates of Fe 3 ⁺, Cu 2 ⁺, and Al 3 ⁺ are 97.3%, 95.8%, and 94.2% respectively, the oil stain removal rate is 98.1%, and the comprehensive cleaning efficiency is 96.4%, which is 3.8 to 4.7 times higher than the traditional method, verifying the high efficiency of the technical scheme. The advantages of synergistic cleaning mainly lie in the fact that the chelating agent can effectively complex metal ions, the biosurfactant can efficiently emulsify oil stains, and the buffer system ensures the stability of the cleaning process.
[0070] Experiment two: chelating agent utilization rate test in hard water environment 1. Experimental purpose To verify the effective utilization rate of the chelating agent of the sacrificial-functional double-layer chelating system of the present application under different water quality conditions with different hardness, and prove that the system can effectively solve the problem of competitive consumption of chelating agent by calcium and magnesium ions in hard water environment, and achieve significant savings in chelating agent cost.

[0072] 3. Experimental conditions Experimental temperature: 25±1℃, pH value: 7.5±0.5 Test equipment: ion chromatograph, complexometric titration device, UV-Vis spectrophotometer Standard titanium scrap sample: 8-12mm size selected within the particle size range of 3-15mm, with Fe 3 ⁺ (20mg / kg), Cu 2 ⁺ (15mg / kg), Al 3 ⁺ (10mg / kg) on the surface.
[0073] 4. Experimental steps (1) Preparation of the control group: using the traditional single chelating agent method, prepare 2.0 g / L EDTA solution in water with different hardness.

[0077] (5) Evaluation of cleaning effect: determine the residual amount of metal ions on the surface of the treated titanium scrap.
[0078] (6) Utilization rate calculation: effective utilization rate of chelating agent (%) = (amount of chelating agent used for complexing impurities on the surface of titanium scrap / total amount of chelating agent added) × 100% 5. Experimental results Table 2 Comparison of chelant utilization rate under different water hardness 6. Analysis and summary The experimental results confirm the significant advantages of the double-layer chelating system of the present application. Under soft water conditions, the chelant utilization rates of the two methods are similar, both around 90%. However, as the water hardness increases, the chelant utilization rate of the traditional method decreases sharply, reaching only 28.4% in extremely hard water (500 mg / L), while the method of the present application still maintains a high utilization rate of 84.8%. In hard water (300 mg / L), the chelant saving amount of the method of the present application reaches 102.1%, i.e. more than half of the chelant usage is reduced while still achieving better cleaning effect. This is mainly due to the preferential consumption of calcium and magnesium ions by the sacrificial chelant (sodium citrate), which protects the effectiveness of the functional chelant (EDTA), achieving precise utilization of chelant and significant cost savings.
[0079] Experiment three: pH stability and process stability test 1. Purpose of the experiment To verify the maintenance effect of the phosphate-organic amine-carbonate ternary buffer system of the present application on the pH stability of the cleaning process, as well as the process stability performance under different water quality conditions and operating environments, to prove that the buffer system can significantly reduce the fluctuation of cleaning effect and realize process standardization.
[0080] 2. Preparation of experimental samples Preparation of cleaning solutions with different buffer systems: Control group 1: no buffer system (only chelant and surfactant are used); Control group 2: single phosphate buffer system (Na2HPO4 / NaH2PO4); Control group 3: dual phosphate-carbonate buffer system (Na2HPO4 / Na2CO3); Experimental group: ternary buffer system (Na2HPO4 / Na2CO3 / triethanolamine, mass ratio 2:1:1, total concentration 3.0 g / L).
[0081] 3. Experimental conditions Test water quality: 5 different hardness water samples in the range of 50-400 mg / L Environmental temperature: 20-40℃ variation range Cleaning time: continuous dynamic test for 8 hours Detection equipment: online pH meter, conductivity meter, turbidimeter, spectrophotometer.
[0082] 4.

Experimental results Table 3 Comparison of pH stability and process stability of different buffer systems Figure 1 The pH stability comparison curves of different buffer systems; Figure 2 The process stability comparison column chart of different buffer systems.
[0083] 6. Analysis and summary The experimental results fully verify the excellent performance of the ternary buffer system of the application. In the 8-hour continuous cleaning process, the pH fluctuation range of the non-buffer system reaches 5.82-8.95, which seriously deviates from the optimal cleaning pH range, resulting in a cleaning effect variation coefficient as high as ±28.5%. Although the single phosphate buffer system has improved, the pH still fluctuates in the range of 6.85-8.20, and the process stability is limited. The dual buffer system further improves the stability, but still has deficiencies under strong interference conditions.
[0084] The ternary buffer system of the application performs best, with pH always stable in the narrow range of 7.42-7.61, and the cleaning effect variation coefficient is only ±4.6%, which is 6.2 times more stable than the traditional non-buffer method. The addition of triethanolamine not only enhances the buffering capacity, but also has the function of cleaning aid, realizing the dual protection of pH stability and cleaning effect, and laying a solid foundation for the standardization of titanium scrap recovery process.
