Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid waste treatment technology, specifically to a material treatment method for the simultaneous recovery and utilization of acid and iron ions from acid sludge. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon powder manufacturers generate a large amount of highly acidic sludge during silicon block crushing, acid washing and impurity removal and post-processing. This sludge contains free acid, iron ions and various inorganic impurities such as silicon, aluminum, calcium and fluorine, exhibiting strong corrosiveness and high suspended solids content. As the silicon material industry expands, the harmless and resource-based treatment of sludge has gradually become an industry focus, and the technology for the simultaneous recovery and utilization of acid and iron ions in sludge has been continuously developed.
[0003] Currently, common treatment methods include inorganic adsorption separation, alkaline precipitation, membrane separation, and ion exchange. Materials used for acid sludge treatment include activated diatomaceous earth, activated alumina, supported metal oxide adsorbents, strong acid cation exchange resins, and porous carbon materials. Common modification techniques include acid-base activation, surface functional group grafting, metal ion or metal oxide loading, interface compatibilizer treatment, and plasma-enhanced modification to improve the acid resistance, specific surface area, and selective adsorption or separation capacity of iron ions or acid components.
[0004] Although existing materials and modification methods have been applied in acid sludge treatment, they still have significant shortcomings when dealing with the complex system of acid sludge from silicon powder enterprises, which is characterized by high acidity, high colloidal content, and fluorine-containing silicon substances.
[0005] For example, inorganic adsorbent materials are easily eroded or have reduced surface activity in strong acid environments, resulting in low adsorption capacity and difficulty in simultaneously achieving iron ion enrichment and acid recovery. Ion exchange resins are prone to pore blockage and functional group deactivation in systems containing large amounts of silicon, fluorine and metal impurities, resulting in poor recyclability.
[0006] Membrane separation technology is easily contaminated by silica gel deposition and metal hydroxide aggregation, resulting in high operating costs. Although conventional surface modification methods can improve material activity, they are not resistant to strong acids and are prone to interfacial reactions with silicon and fluorine species in acidic sludge, leading to unstable separation selectivity.
[0007] These shortcomings mainly stem from the complex composition, high solid content, wide colloidal particle size distribution, and strong corrosiveness of silica powder acid mud, as well as the easy occurrence of multiple interfacial interferences between different metal ions and silicon-fluorine complexes, making it difficult for traditional materials to achieve efficient and stable synchronous recovery of acid and iron ions. Therefore, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material processing method for the simultaneous recovery and utilization of acid and iron ions in acid sludge, which solves the technical problem of the difficulty in efficiently separating and recovering acid and iron ions in acid sludge in the prior art.
[0009] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a material treatment method for the simultaneous recovery and utilization of acid and iron ions from acid sludge, comprising the following steps:
[0010] S1. Place deionized water in a reactor, add acid mud, and stir at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to obtain diluted acid mud slurry.
[0011] S2. Place the diluted acid mud slurry in a reactor, add pretreated silica fume, stir at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, add cationic coagulant, filter, and obtain filtrate and fluorinated silica filter residue.
[0012] The reaction principle for preparing the filtrate and fluorosilicone filter residue is as follows:
[0013] In step S1, acid sludge is mixed with deionized water to form a diluted slurry, which reduces the viscosity of the system and promotes the full dispersion of suspended particles and dissolved components, providing a uniform reaction environment for subsequent reactions. In step S2, the pretreated silica fume added has a high specific surface area and abundant active Si-OH groups. At the same time, the added cationic coagulant further promotes the rapid aggregation and sedimentation of negatively charged colloidal particles in the acid sludge through electrostatic adsorption and molecular chain bridging. Fluoride ions react with active silica to form fluorinated silicate precipitates. The two work synergistically to effectively separate the acidic components and iron ions in the acid sludge system, generating fluorinated silica filter residue and clear filtrate.
[0014] S3. Add the filtrate to the separatory funnel, add the organic extract, wash and extract 2-4 times, and then process to obtain the reclaimed acid solution and the metal-containing aqueous solution.
[0015] The reaction principle for the preparation of recycled acid and metal-containing aqueous solutions is as follows:
[0016] During the reaction, the filtrate is fully contacted with an organic extract composed of 1-decyl alcohol, trioctylamine, and kerosene in a separatory funnel. The acidic components and metal ions are separated by liquid-liquid extraction. Trioctylamine, a tertiary amine with a strong affinity for organic phases, can form ion-pair complexes soluble in the organic phase with the inorganic acids in the filtrate, thereby transferring the acid from the aqueous phase to the organic phase. 1-Decanol, as a co-solvent and interfacial activity modifier, can improve the compatibility and mass transfer efficiency of the extraction system. Kerosene, as a diluent, provides an inert organic phase medium, reduces the viscosity of the extraction system, and stabilizes the phase separation structure. After 2-4 extractions, the acidic components mainly enter the organic phase and can be recovered and reused through back-extraction, while the aqueous phase is enriched with metal ions, forming a metal-containing aqueous solution, thus achieving effective separation and simultaneous recovery of acid and iron ions.
[0017] S4. Adjust the alkalinity of the metal-containing aqueous solution and remove the acid to obtain recycled iron oxide;
[0018] In step S2, the cationic coagulant is prepared by: placing diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, OP-10 and deionized water in a nitrogen-protected reactor and stirring; adding lauryl methacrylate; heating the reactor to 45-55°C; adding azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride; maintaining the temperature at 60-70°C for 4-6 hours; and then performing post-treatment to obtain the cationic coagulant.
[0019] The reaction principle for preparing cationic coagulants is as follows:
[0020] During the reaction, under nitrogen protection, diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride acts as a positively charged monomer, lauryl methacrylate acts as a hydrophobic monomer containing long-chain alkyl groups, and nonionic surfactant OP-10 plays a role in dispersion and emulsification to ensure the stability of the reaction system. After heating to 45-55℃, the initiator azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride is added. It decomposes at 60-70℃ to generate free radicals, which initiate the chain copolymerization between diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and lauryl methacrylate, forming a cationic coagulant with both cationic charge centers and hydrophobic alkyl side chains.
[0021] Further, in step S1, the ratio of deionized water to acid sludge is 8-10g:20-40mL; in step S2, the weight ratio of acid sludge dilution slurry, pretreated silica fume, and cationic coagulant is 15-20g:0.5-1g:0.01-0.02g; in step S3, the organic extract is composed of 1-decyl alcohol, trioctylamine, and kerosene mixed evenly in a volume ratio of 2-3:15-18:70-75; the post-treatment steps include: after washing and extraction, allowing the mixture to stand and separate into layers, separating the organic phase and the metal-containing aqueous solution, washing the organic phase with saturated brine 2-4 times, back-extracting with deionized water, and heating and concentrating the acid-containing aqueous phase to obtain a recycled acid solution.
[0022] Furthermore, the method for preparing the pretreated silica fume is as follows: silica fume is added to a tube furnace and calcined at high temperature in an air atmosphere for 1-2 hours, followed by post-treatment to obtain the pretreated silica fume.
[0023] The reaction principle for preparing pretreated silica fume is as follows:
[0024] During the reaction, silica fume is placed in a tubular furnace in an air atmosphere and calcined at high temperature. Silica fume is mainly composed of amorphous silica particles and a small amount of carbon and metal oxide impurities. In an air environment of 500-700℃, residual carbon, volatile organic compounds and adsorbed water are oxidized and removed. At the same time, some surface hydroxyl groups are dehydrated and condensed to form a more stable and larger specific surface area of active silica surface. After this treatment, the silica fume particles have a clean surface, loose structure, increased reaction sites, and increased surface energy, which can enhance its adsorption and reaction ability with components such as metal ions and fluoride ions in acid mud, thereby obtaining pretreated silica fume with higher chemical activity.
[0025] Furthermore, the high-temperature calcination temperature is 500-700℃, the heating rate is 5-10℃ / min, and the post-processing steps include: after the reaction is completed, wait for the product to return to room temperature, grind the product through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain pretreated silica fume.
[0026] Furthermore, the ratio of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, OP-10, deionized water, lauryl methacrylate, and azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride is 2-4g:0.05-0.10g:20-30mL:0.05-0.10g:0.02-0.03g. The post-treatment steps include: after the reaction is completed, wait for the reaction solution to cool to room temperature, add ethanol to the reaction solution to precipitate the precipitate, filter, wash the filter cake with ethanol 2-4 times, transfer it to an oven at 50-60℃, and dry it to constant weight to obtain a cationic coagulant.
[0027] Furthermore, in step S4, the recycled iron oxide is prepared by the following steps:
[0028] A1. Place the metal-containing aqueous solution in a reaction vessel, add sodium hydroxide solution, adjust the pH to 5-6, stir at room temperature for 15-30 min, and then process to obtain metal hydroxide.
[0029] A2. Place the metal hydroxide in a reaction vessel, add sodium hydroxide solution, adjust the pH to 10-14, stir at room temperature for 15-30 min, and then process to obtain recycled ferric hydroxide.
[0030] A3. Add the recycled ferric hydroxide into a tube furnace and calcine it at high temperature in air for 1-3 hours. The post-processing yields recycled ferric oxide.
[0031] The reaction principle for the preparation of recycled iron oxide is as follows:
[0032] In step A1, sodium hydroxide solution is added to the metal-containing aqueous solution and the pH is adjusted to 5-6. This mainly causes the iron, aluminum and other metal ions in the solution to gradually undergo hydrolysis and precipitation reactions, generating corresponding metal hydroxide precipitates, thereby achieving the initial separation and enrichment of metal components. In step A2, the pH is further increased to 10-14, which can further promote the complete precipitation of ferric ions to form ferric hydroxide, effectively removing impurity ions and improving the purity of the precipitate. Finally, in step A3, the obtained ferric hydroxide is calcined at high temperature in air for 1-3 hours to undergo a dehydration and oxidation reaction, generating a stable hematite-type ferric oxide solid product, thus obtaining recycled ferric oxide.
[0033] Further, in step A1, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.01-0.03 wt%, and the post-processing steps include: after the reaction is completed, filtration is performed, the filter cake is washed 2-4 times with deionized water, transferred to an oven at 50-60℃, and dried to constant weight to obtain metal hydroxide; in step A2, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.01-0.03 wt%, and the post-processing steps include: after the reaction is completed, filtration is performed, the filter cake is washed 2-4 times with deionized water, transferred to an oven at 50-60℃, and dried to constant weight to obtain reclaimed ferric hydroxide; in step A3, the high-temperature calcination temperature is 450-650℃, the heating rate is 2-5℃ / min, and the post-processing steps include: after the reaction is completed, the product is allowed to return to room temperature, ground, and passed through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain reclaimed ferric oxide.
[0034] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] This invention utilizes pretreated silica fume to induce sedimentation and adsorption in diluted acid sludge slurry. Firstly, the pretreated silica fume undergoes high-temperature calcination, enhancing its surface activity and adsorption properties. This allows it to adsorb fluoride ions from the acid sludge and form fluorinated silicate precipitates when mixed with the diluted sludge. The addition of silica fume promotes the separation of acid and metal from the acid sludge, improving acid recovery efficiency. During subsequent filtration, the pretreated silica fume forms coagulants, aiding in the removal of impurities from the aqueous solution and thus increasing the purity of the recovered acid. Secondly, the high-temperature calcination pretreatment of the silica fume enhances its performance in acidic environments. The stability of silica fume allows it to maintain good performance during acid sludge treatment, avoiding the impact of acidic environment on material corrosion. Through this treatment, the specific surface area and porosity of silica fume are improved, enabling it to more efficiently adsorb and remove harmful components in acid sludge, thereby reducing the interference of metal ions on the subsequent iron oxide recovery process. With the addition of silica fume, iron ions can be separated more efficiently in the subsequent extraction and precipitation processes, reducing the impact of impurities, ensuring the quality of iron oxide, avoiding the damage of impurities to the iron oxide structure during high-temperature calcination, and further improving the purity of the recovered iron oxide.
[0036] This invention prepares a cationic coagulant through free radical polymerization of positively charged and hydrophobic monomers. Firstly, the cationic coagulant, due to its cationic nature, interacts with negatively charged substances in acid sludge, promoting the coagulation and precipitation of iron ions and other contaminants. In this way, the coagulant effectively separates iron ions from the acid sludge, reducing interference from iron ions in subsequent acid recovery and improving the purity of the acid solution. This coagulation helps separate silicate and fluoride impurities from the acid solution, effectively improving the purity of the recycled acid solution and ensuring the stability of acidity and recovery rate. Secondly, the addition of the cationic coagulant helps improve the treatment process of diluted acid sludge, ensuring that the coagulated precipitate can be separated from the solution more quickly and thoroughly in the subsequent filtration stage. This not only improves the acid recovery efficiency but also reduces the complexity of subsequent filtration and cleaning. Finally, the calcined iron oxide possesses good quality and is suitable for high-end applications such as catalysis and pigments.
[0037] This invention relates to an organic extractant prepared by mixing 1-decyl alcohol, trioctylamine, and kerosene in a specific ratio. Firstly, the organic extractant exhibits excellent selective extraction performance. Trioctylamine can form stable and reversible complexes with acidic components, while 1-decyl alcohol, acting as a solubilizer, improves the system's compatibility and mass transfer efficiency. Kerosene, as a diluent, effectively regulates the extraction equilibrium, thereby achieving efficient separation of acids and metal ions. This system can separate acids from metallic impurities such as iron ions in acid sludge filtrate, allowing the acid to enter the organic phase and then recover it to the aqueous phase through a back-extraction process, thus obtaining high-purity acid. The process of recycling acid reduces interference from metal impurities, improves acid recovery rate and reuse value, and the use of organic extractants concentrates the concentration of metal ions in the metal-containing aqueous solution, which is conducive to the complete precipitation of iron ions in the subsequent hydroxide reaction, thus producing metal hydroxide with low impurity content. Finally, high-purity recycled iron oxide is obtained by calcination. Therefore, the introduction of organic extractants not only improves the separation efficiency of acid and metal ions, but also optimizes the purity and stability of the recycled product, achieving simultaneous and efficient recovery of acid and iron ions, which has significant technical and environmental advantages.
