Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste liquid treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for producing high-purity aluminum chloride from waste acid liquid corroded by hydrochloric acid system for aluminum foil. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode foil etching utilizes electrochemical principles to etch and enlarge pores on the surface of electronic foil (aluminum foil) in sulfuric acid (hydrochloric acid). This process generates a large amount of acidic wastewater. Currently, the industry primarily uses alkali neutralization, which produces significant amounts of wastewater and solid waste, resulting in resource waste and secondary pollution. Secondly, some companies use resin ion exchange followed by alkali neutralization. This method only recovers a portion of the acid, still generating substantial amounts of solid waste and wastewater. Both methods suffer from high processing costs, hindering sustainable development for businesses. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for producing high-purity aluminum chloride from waste acid solution of aluminum foil corroded by hydrochloric acid system, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for producing high-purity aluminum chloride from waste acid solution obtained by corroding aluminum foil using a hydrochloric acid system includes the following steps: S1. The waste acid solution is filtered through a nanofiltration membrane to obtain a first dilute solution and a first concentrated solution; the first dilute solution is also a mixture of waste acid solutions.

[0005] S2. The first dilute solution is recycled to the workshop's liquid preparation system for repeated use, and the first concentrated solution is collected and further processed. S3. The first concentrated liquid is evaporated and concentrated in a graphite evaporator, and then cooled to obtain aluminum trichloride hexahydrate crystals. S4. Solid aluminum chloride hexahydrate and mother liquor were obtained by separating the crystals of aluminum chloride hexahydrate by centrifugation. S5. The mother liquor is reintroduced into the graphite evaporator, and steps S2 and S3 are repeated. After separation by centrifugation, solid aluminum trichloride hexahydrate and distilled water are obtained.

[0006] Furthermore, the first dilute solution accounts for 40%-50%, and the first concentrated solution accounts for 50%-60%.

[0007] Furthermore, the waste acid liquid includes free acid and aluminum ions, wherein the free acid content is 0.2N-6N and the aluminum ion content is 1.0N-1.8N.

[0008] Furthermore, the first concentrate includes free acid and aluminum ions.
