Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fly ash resource utilization, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing Beta molecular sieve from fly ash. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fly ash is an industrial waste residue discharged by a coal-fired power plant, i.e. the dust carried out by flue gas and collected by a dust collector after combustion of coal powder at 1000-1500 DEG C. 250-300 kg of fly ash can be produced per ton of coal burned. With the rapid development of the power industry in China, the discharge amount of fly ash is increasing. According to statistics, the fly ash discharged in China in 2024 has exceeded about 850 million tons, and the utilization rate is less than 80%. The increasing discharge amount of fly ash and the low utilization rate result in waste of land occupation and water resources, and increasingly serious environmental pollution. The traditional method for treating fly ash is landfill and production of building materials, but it cannot prevent the pollution of fly ash to the environment. The main components of fly ash are silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide and iron oxide. Since the content of silicon and aluminum is high, they are also main elements for constituting molecular sieve. In recent years, the research on synthesis of molecular sieve from fly ash has attracted much attention. Since the content of elements in fly ash is high and mixed, and the composition is unstable, the synthesis of molecular sieve from fly ash is greatly affected by impurities. There are many processes for synthesizing molecular sieve by using simple alkali solution method to extract silicon source, but the extraction rate is low, fly ash cannot be efficiently utilized, and secondary damage to the environment is easily caused. There are often some difficulties in these processes. For example, the method described in some literatures:

[0003] Patent (CN101450805B) reports a method for synthesizing molecular sieve by wet method adding alkali calcining fly ash, including: grinding fly ash, removing iron by magnet, removing iron by acid dissolution, and filtering and washing to neutral, then dissolving strong alkali in water and mixing with fly ash, drying, calcining and activating, and quenching treatment, grinding calcined material and other ingredients into slurry and removing iron by magnet, then forming glue, synthesizing crystal, filtering, washing, drying to obtain molecular sieve product. This method is easy to introduce other impurities in fly ash. Patent (CN106745048B) reports a method for preparing P-type molecular sieve and ZSM-5 molecular sieve from fly ash acid leaching residue, including: roasting fly ash acid leaching residue with alkali to obtain calcined material; high temperature water immersion and heat preservation filtration of the calcined material to obtain first filtrate; P-type molecular sieve hydrothermal crystallization of the first filtrate to obtain P-type molecular sieve and molecular sieve crystallization filtrate; ZSM-5 molecular sieve hydrothermal crystallization of the molecular sieve filtrate to obtain ZSM-5 type molecular sieve and second filtrate. This method will produce more residue waste. Patent (CN114940500B) reports a method for preparing fly ash-based NaP-type molecular sieve, including: mixing fly ash and acid to obtain acid-washed fly ash; mixing acid-washed fly ash, sodium hydroxide and water, then activating by microwave radiation, and melting reaction at high temperature to convert silicon aluminum minerals into silicate; then accelerating molecular movement under ultrasonic action, and crystallizing by ultrasonic wave to obtain NaP-type molecular sieve. This method is easy to cause impurities and uncontrollable element ratio.

[0004] Some of the above methods are to add alkali to the acid leaching residue after acid leaching, and then synthesize molecular sieve by dissolving in water. Some methods are to synthesize molecular sieve by adding water leaching after alkali sintering. These methods have problems such as low utilization rate of fly ash, more waste produced to cause secondary pollution, low purity of synthesized molecular sieve, and difficulty in realizing the true value of fly ash. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a method for synthesizing Beta molecular sieve from fly ash, including the following steps:

[0006] (1) Grinding: grinding fly ash with a crusher and passing through a 300 mesh screen;

[0007] (2) Activation: mixing and grinding the calcined fly ash with sodium carbonate, and then heating and activating in a muffle furnace to obtain activated fly ash;

[0008] (3) Acid dissolution: adding sulfuric acid to the activated fly ash, stirring at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and filtering to obtain a filtrate;

[0009] (4) Preparation of silica: The filtrate is heated and aged to coagulate silica into silica gel. The silica gel and the separation liquid are separated by centrifugation. The silica gel is washed with deionized water 3-5 times to obtain washing liquid. After washing, the silica gel is placed in an oven to dry and remove moisture. It is then ground to obtain silica powder. The washing liquid and the separation liquid are mixed to obtain a mixture.

[0010] (5) Preparation of sodium aluminate solution: Add sodium hydroxide to the mixture to adjust the pH value to 6-7. A mixed precipitate of aluminum hydroxide and iron hydroxide is generated in the solution. Place the mixed precipitate in a 4-6 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, heat and stir, filter to remove insoluble iron hydroxide, and obtain sodium aluminate solution.

[0011] (6) Preparation of Beta molecular sieve: Add the white carbon black powder extracted in step (4) to the sodium aluminate solution and stir evenly. Then add the template agent TEAOH, mix and stir for 6-12 hours and crystallize to obtain the crystallized product. Wash the crystallized product and then calcine it to remove the template agent to obtain the Beta molecular sieve.

[0012] Preferably, the calcination temperature in step (2) is 550-600℃ and the time is 2-2.5h.

[0013] Preferably, the heating activation temperature in step (2) is 700-800℃ and the time is 2-3 hours.

[0014] Preferably, the mass ratio of fly ash to sodium carbonate in step (2) is 1:0.7-1.

[0015] Preferably, in step (3), the solid-liquid ratio of activated fly ash and sulfuric acid is 1g:10-12ml, and the mass concentration of sulfuric acid is 10%-15%.

[0016] Preferably, the heating and aging temperature in step (4) is 60-80℃ and the time is 6-18h.

[0017] Preferably, the drying temperature in step (4) is 150-200℃ and the drying time is 10-12h.

[0018] Preferably, the heating and stirring temperature in step (5) is 60-80℃ and the time is 1-2h.

[0019] Preferably, the mass ratio of the mixed precipitate to the sodium hydroxide solution in step (5) is 1:2-2.5.

[0020] Preferably, in step (6), silica powder and TEAOH are added according to a molar ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 of 20-100:1 and a molar mass ratio of SiO2 to TEAOH of 1:0.4-0.6.

[0021] Preferably, the crystallization temperature in step (6) is 120-160℃ and the time is 100-150h; the calcination temperature is 550-600℃ and the time is 4-6h.

[0022] Grinding fly ash can increase the specific surface area and also has a certain activating effect, allowing fly ash and sodium carbonate to have a larger contact area, which is conducive to more complete activation.

[0023] Sodium carbonate, as an activator, can be mixed with fly ash and sintered to maximize the destruction of the mullite phase in the fly ash and decompose it to obtain the nepheline phase, which is easily soluble in acid. Using sodium carbonate as an activator has a better activation effect than other activators and the product state is more stable. The activation temperature, time, alkali-ash ratio and other conditions were investigated to improve the activation efficiency. The main chemical reaction formulas are as follows (1)-(3):

[0024] 2SiO2+Al2O3+Na2CO3=2NaAlSiO4+CO2↑ (1)

[0025] Al2O3+Na2CO3=2NaAlO2+CO2↑ (2)

[0026] 4Fe3O4+6Na2CO3+O2=6Na2Fe2O4+6CO2↑ (3)

[0027] Sintered products can be acid-leached to extract more than 95% of the effective elements in fly ash, maximizing their utilization. By controlling factors such as the type, concentration, and reaction time of the acid during the acid dissolution process, the optimal dissolution conditions can be obtained, ensuring the extraction rate while minimizing resource consumption. The main chemical reaction formulas are shown in formulas (4)-(6):

[0028] 2NaAlSiO4+4H2SO4→Na2SO4+Al2(SO4)3+2H2SiO3(colloid)+2H2O (4)

[0029] 2NaAlO2+4H2SO4→Al2(SO4)3+Na2SO4+4H2O (5)

[0030] 2Na2Fe2O4+4H2SO4→Fe2(SO4)3+Na2SO4+4H2O (6)

[0031] The aging time and temperature of the filtrate after acid dissolution also need to be examined. Only after the silicic acid is completely coagulated into silica gel can silicon be separated from other elements. The separated silica gel is decomposed by heating at 150-200℃ to produce white carbon black. The main chemical reaction formula is shown in formula (7):

[0032] 2H2SiO3→SiO2+H2O (7)

[0033] The separation and purification of aluminum in metal salt solutions mainly rely on adjusting the pH to produce precipitation, thereby extracting various substances through solid-liquid separation. By adjusting the pH through an alkali gradient, aluminum hydroxide and iron hydroxide precipitates are first separated into sodium sulfate solution. The precipitates are then placed in sodium hydroxide solution, and the insoluble iron hydroxide is filtered out, leaving a sodium aluminate solution. The reaction formulas are shown in formulas (8)-(10).

[0034] Al2(SO4)3+6NaOH=2Al(OH)3↓+3Na2SO4 (8)

[0035] 6NaOH+Fe2(SO4)3=2Fe(OH)3↓+3Na2SO4 (9)

[0036] NaOH+Al(OH)3=NaAlO2+2H2O (10)

[0037] Different amounts of silica and template agent were added to sodium aluminate solution according to the feed ratio for synthesizing Beta molecular sieves. After thorough stirring at room temperature, the solution was placed in a reaction vessel for high-temperature crystallization for a period of time. The crystallized product was then calcined to remove the template agent, thus obtaining the corresponding Beta molecular sieve.

[0038] The main components of fly ash, silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide, can be separated. Alumina can be directly used to produce sodium aluminate for the synthesis of molecular sieves without the need to add sodium hydroxide and aluminum source. Silicon dioxide can be used to produce white carbon black with high purity.

[0039] Sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are added during the process to form sodium sulfate and ferric hydroxide as byproducts. Sodium sulfate is widely used as a filler in detergents and can also be used in analytical reagents, chemicals, papermaking and glass, dyes, printing and dyeing and pharmaceuticals. Ferric hydroxide is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and pigments, and is used as an arsenic detoxifying agent. It can also be used as a catalyst and water purification agent.

[0040] The method of this invention has the following significant advantages: high extraction rate of the main components of fly ash, maximizing the value of fly ash; simple and convenient operation method, no need for stringent process, suitable for large-scale synthesis; few impurities in by-products, resulting in high economic benefits; no waste residue discharge, making the process relatively green and environmentally friendly.

[0041] The method of this invention is to first destroy the mullite phase in fly ash using a two-step acid-base process, then extract silicon, aluminum, and iron elements by acid dissolution, and gradually separate each component by precipitation. After purification, the components are mixed and dissolved in sodium hydroxide solution, and a template agent is added. After crystallization in a high-temperature reactor, Beta molecular sieve is obtained.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0043] (1) The present invention can extract useful elements to a greater extent, with an extraction rate of more than 95%, which makes fly ash utilization more efficient and generates less waste; the by-products generated during the extraction process can be used to produce high-value products.

[0044] (2) The silica and sodium aluminate used to synthesize molecular sieves have high purity, so the synthesized Beta molecular sieve has good adsorption and catalytic performance.

[0045] (3) Compared with the alkaline solution impregnation method, the alkaline addition and high temperature calcination can more effectively decompose fly ash. After comparing the two methods, it was found that the most important factors affecting the decomposition rate of fly ash are temperature and alkali concentration. In this invention, the temperature is higher than the melting point of the alkaline solution during sintering, so that the alkali melts and reacts with the fly ash, which can activate the fly ash to a greater extent.

[0046] (4) Sulfuric acid is used in the acid dissolution process because its chemical properties do not require heating during use and require less addition than other acids. It is not easily volatilized and will not produce toxic or harmful gases, and its use cost is lower.

[0047] (5) The process of the present invention is simple, requiring only grinding, heating, stirring, filtering and other operations.

[0048] (6) The concept of green environmental protection is implemented throughout the entire production process to fully realize the value of resources and significantly reduce waste in the production process compared with other methods. Attached Figure Description
