Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial solid waste treatment technology, specifically to a harmless treatment process and method for phosphogypsum. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphogypsum is a solid waste generated during the production of phosphoric acid. Its main component is calcium sulfate dihydrate, and it also contains pollutants such as soluble phosphorus, soluble fluorine, and heavy metal ions. These pollutants are easily leached into the environment by rainwater during storage, causing soil and water pollution. Traditional methods for treating phosphogypsum mainly include washing, neutralization, and solidification, but these methods suffer from low treatment efficiency, high costs, and a significant risk of secondary pollution.

[0003] In recent years, polyacrylamide has been widely used as a highly efficient flocculant in wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal. However, ordinary polyacrylamide has limited effectiveness in removing soluble phosphorus, soluble fluoride, and heavy metal ions from phosphogypsum, and it is difficult to achieve long-term stability of the solidified form. Therefore, developing a highly efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly technology for the harmless treatment of phosphogypsum is of great significance. The phosphogypsum harmless treatment process and method of this invention can effectively fix waste in phosphogypsum and has broad market prospects. Summary of the Invention

A process and method for the harmless treatment of phosphogypsum, wherein the preparation steps of the harmless phosphogypsum are as follows: (1) Mix nano Fe3O4, ethanol solution and γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, adjust the pH to 5~5.5 with glacial acetic acid, let stand for 1 h, sonicate for 10~20 min, stir at 550~650 r / min for 1.5~2.5 h at 45~55℃, filter, wash the filter residue with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol 3~5 times respectively, and vacuum dry at 60℃ for 4~6 h to obtain modified magnetic particles; (2) Acrylamide, acryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride ammonium sulfate, stabilizer and deionized water are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:0.2:0.1:10, nitrogen gas is introduced, and the mixture is reacted at 25~35℃ for 40~60 min. Modified magnetic particle suspension is added, and the mixture is reacted for another 10~20 min. Ammonium persulfate / sodium bisulfite initiator is added, and the mixture is reacted for another 22~26 h. The mixture is filtered, and the filter residue is washed 3~5 times with 50% ethanol solution and acetone respectively. The residue is then vacuum dried at 60℃ for 4~6 h to obtain flocculant. (3) Mix the flocculant solution and pretreated phosphogypsum at a mass ratio of 1: (30~40), stir for 20~30 min, add calcium hydroxide slurry, adjust the pH to 10~12, continue stirring for 40~60 min, add solid waste fly ash at a mass ratio of 0.1~0.2 times that of pretreated phosphogypsum, stir evenly, let stand for 1~3 days, and cure at 20~40℃ and 60%~80% humidity for one week to obtain the product.

[0006] As an optimization, the preparation method of the ethanol solution in step (1) is as follows: anhydrous ethanol and deionized water are mixed at a volume ratio of 4:1.

[0007] As an optimization, the preparation method of the modified magnetic particle suspension in step (2) is as follows: the modified magnetic particles and deionized water are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:6 and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain the suspension.

[0008] As an optimization, the preparation method of the stabilizer in step (2) is as follows: 72% acrylamide, EDTA and deionized water are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:0.02:10, nitrogen gas is introduced, and the mixture is reacted at 65°C for 30 min. Ammonium persulfate / sodium bisulfite initiator is added and the reaction is continued for 5.5~6.5 h. The mixture is washed 3~5 times with anhydrous ethanol and dried under vacuum at 60°C.

[0009] As an optimization, the preparation method of the flocculant solution in step (3) is as follows: flocculant and deionized water are mixed at a mass ratio of 1: (200~300) to obtain the solution.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: In preparing harmless phosphogypsum, the present invention involves crushing and screening phosphogypsum to obtain pretreated phosphogypsum; reacting nano-Fe3O4 with γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane to obtain modified magnetic particles; adding acrylamide to the modified magnetic particles after polymerization initiated by an initiator to obtain a flocculant; and adjusting the pH of the flocculant and pretreated phosphogypsum with calcium hydroxide slurry before adding solid waste fly ash, followed by static curing to obtain harmless phosphogypsum.

[0013] First, nano-Fe3O4 is reacted with γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane to obtain modified magnetic particles, which are then reacted with acrylamide to prepare a flocculant. The modified magnetic particles in the flocculant not only provide magnetic separation function, which facilitates the recycling and reuse of the flocculant and reduces costs, but also contain active groups on their surface, which can more effectively adsorb heavy metal ions and soluble phosphates in phosphogypsum, thereby enhancing the flocculation effect and the removal efficiency of pollutants.

[0014] Secondly, adjusting the pH value to an alkaline environment by using calcium hydroxide slurry can promote the formation of hydroxide precipitates from heavy metal ions in phosphogypsum and facilitate the flocculant's coagulation effect, thereby achieving effective fixation of harmful substances.
