[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0020] Figure 1 It is a kind of based on difference frequency resonant coupling's mercury-containing acid mud high-efficiency recovery method and device structure schematic diagram shown in the embodiment of the present application.
[0021] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment 1 shows a kind of based on difference frequency resonant coupling's mercury-containing acid mud high-efficiency recovery method, which includes the following steps: step 1: acid mud pretreatment: acid mud containing mercury is crushed, screened, dried;Crushing and screening to D90≤45 μm, while drying under inert atmosphere, temperature is 80℃±2℃.
[0022] Step 2: coupling field leaching: the product in step 1 is transported to the reaction kettle 1, and an acid mud suspension is obtained after stirring after adding an oxidizing agent, the mercury-containing acid mud and the oxidizing agent liquid ratio is 1:2 (g / mL), the oxidizing agent uses a combination of hydrochloric acid concentration 2.0 mol / L, H2O2 concentration 0.2 mol / L, FeCl3 concentration 0.1 mol / L); and a redox reaction is carried out by catalysis through the difference frequency resonance coupling field formed by two adjustable frequency ultrasonic waves, and the difference frequency adjustment range is Δf=6-10 kHz; the difference frequency resonance coupling field formed by two ultrasonic waves forms a standing wave superposition effect, so that the cavitation bubbles in the mercury-containing acid mud suspension are quickly broken, the duty cycle reaches 80%, the reaction temperature is 45℃±3℃, the oxygen partial pressure is 0.15 MPa, the reaction time is 1h, and pH=2.5-3.5; the standing wave superposition effect can effectively improve the breaking efficiency of the cavitation bubbles, and further improve the oxidation reaction efficiency; secondly, the two ultrasonic waves are symmetrically installed, so that the energy generated by the ultrasonic waves is uniformly diffused in the reaction kettle, further improving the breaking efficiency of the cavitation bubbles.
[0023] Step 3: solid-liquid separation; the material produced by the redox reaction is subjected to solid-liquid separation by a vacuum filtration device, and the filtrate obtained is the leaching solution containing mercury and selenium. The leaching solution containing mercury and selenium is further purified and treated, and the mercury and selenium are separated by reduction, to obtain a selenium leaching solution and a mercury leaching solution.
[0024] The mercury-containing acid mud in step 1 is crushed by an air flow crusher; the pressure is 0.6 MPa; in step 2, the upper end of the reaction kettle 1 is provided with a frequency-adjustable ultrasonic generator I2 and an ultrasonic generator II3, both of which are controlled and adjusted in frequency by a plc controller 4, and the frequency difference between the two is in the range of 6-10 kHz; the reaction kettle 1 detects the mercury ion concentration data through an integrated mercury ion sensor 5 and feeds back to the plc controller 5, which controls the frequency adjustment of the ultrasonic generator I2, and the mercury ion concentration is proportional to the frequency of the ultrasonic generator I2; the reaction kettle 1 detects the temperature of the acid mud suspension through a temperature sensor array 6 and feeds back to the plc controller 5, which controls the frequency adjustment of the ultrasonic generator II3, and the temperature of the acid mud suspension is inversely proportional to the frequency of the ultrasonic generator II3; the reaction kettle 1 is provided with a stirrer 7 and an internal flow guide cylinder 8; step 3 is subjected to solid-liquid separation by a vacuum filtration device 10.
[0025] When the mercury-containing acid sludge and oxidant are added into the reaction kettle 1 at a ratio of 1:2 (g / mL), a mercury-containing acid sludge suspension is formed by the stirrer 7, and then the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 are preheated, and the acid sludge suspension is heated to 40°C. The initial frequency of the ultrasonic generator I 2 is 28 kHz, and the initial frequency of the ultrasonic generator II 3 is 37 kHz, and the frequency difference is 9 kHz. Under the differential frequency resonance coupling field formed by the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3, the mercury-containing acid sludge suspension in the reaction kettle 1 undergoes an oxidation reaction.
[0026] After the oxidation reaction starts, the integrated mercury ion sensor 5 detects the mercury ion concentration data. After the mercury ion concentration increases, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator I 2 is increased by the plc controller 5, and the frequency of the ultrasonic generator II 3 is increased synchronously according to the corresponding frequency difference. When the frequency of the ultrasonic generator II 3 is increased to 58 kHz, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator II 3 is stopped increasing. If the mercury ion concentration continues to increase, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator I 2 is increased, and the frequency difference between the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 is reduced to 6 kHz. Then the ultrasonic generator I 2 is kept at 52 kHz and the ultrasonic generator II 3 is kept at 58 kHz for the oxidation reaction.
[0027] In the above frequency adjustment process, according to the initial temperature detected by the temperature sensing array 6, which is 40°C, before the temperature of the suspension rises to 45°C after the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 are turned on, the frequency difference between the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 can be increased. When the maximum frequency difference reaches 12 kHz, it will not be increased any more. When the temperature of the suspension is higher than 45°C, the speed of the ultrasonic generator II 3 needs to be slowed down to reduce the frequency difference, and when the minimum frequency difference reaches 6 kHz, it will not be reduced any more. In the process of adjusting the frequency of the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3, different ultrasonic frequencies corresponding to different mercury ion concentrations can effectively improve the cavitation bubble collapse efficiency, thereby improving the oxidation reaction speed and avoiding waste of ultrasonic energy due to excessively high ultrasonic frequency. By changing the temperature, the frequency difference is reduced, further avoiding the ultrasonic generator II 3 from increasing the frequency too fast and wasting ultrasonic energy.
[0028] The helical blade of the stirrer 7 is inclined at an angle of 15°, so that during rotation of the stirrer 7, the helical blade generates an upward lifting force on the suspension. The flow guide cylinder 8 is installed in the reaction kettle 1 by the support rod 9, and the upper end of the flow guide cylinder 8 is inclined outward, forming a conical cylinder with a large upper end and a small lower end. After the suspension is lifted upward, the liquid flows upward along the flow guide cylinder 8, and then flows down from the wall of the reaction kettle 1, so that the suspension can rotate horizontally and also circulate vertically, improving the oxidation reaction efficiency of the suspension.
[0029] The ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 are installed on the reaction kettle 1 through the ultrasonic energy coupler 11, the matching coefficient of the impedance matcher of the ultrasonic energy coupler 11 is greater than or equal to 0.9, the compensation amount of the attenuation compensator is ±5dB, and the energy transmission pipeline is Φ150mm; so that the ultrasonic energy generated by the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 is more stable and accurate, and the frequency modulation accuracy of the ultrasonic generator I 2 and the ultrasonic generator II 3 is effectively improved.

Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
