Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental protection technology, specifically relating to an in-situ purification method for high-grade cement retarder phosphogypsum used in conjunction with cement kilns. Background Technology
[0002] Phosphogypsum is a large industrial solid waste generated during the wet process of phosphoric acid production. Its main component is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O), but it contains various impurities such as undecomposed phosphate rock, free phosphoric acid, fluorides, fluorates, and organic matter. These impurities, especially soluble phosphorus, eutectic phosphorus, and fluorides, severely restrict the large-scale application of phosphogypsum as a retarder in the cement industry.
[0003] Existing phosphogypsum purification technologies have several drawbacks: While water washing is low-cost, its removal of insoluble eutectic phosphorus impurities is limited, and water consumption is high (at least 3 tons of water are needed to treat 1 ton of phosphogypsum), making wastewater treatment difficult; calcination can remove eutectic phosphorus, but it is energy-intensive, costly, and prone to secondary pollution; traditional chemical neutralization methods often use quicklime, which is ineffective at removing organic impurities and results in insufficient product stability; flotation is energy-efficient, cost-effective, and relatively environmentally friendly, and can remove organic matter from phosphogypsum to some extent, improving its grade, but its effect on insoluble impurities is not significant; traditional acid leaching uses strong acid solutions such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid to soak phosphogypsum, dissolving insoluble phosphides and some metallic impurities bound to the gypsum. Its drawbacks include high acid reagent consumption, high raw material costs, and the corrosive effects of strong acids on equipment, increasing maintenance costs and safety risks. Acid residue requires large amounts of alkali for neutralization, affecting product purity. Furthermore, some existing processes suffer from incomplete modification and inconsistent product quality, making them unable to completely replace natural gypsum for high-quality cement production. Therefore, developing an efficient, energy-saving, environmentally friendly in-situ purification technology for phosphogypsum that can simultaneously remove multiple impurities, thereby promoting the resource utilization of phosphogypsum, reducing cement production costs, and alleviating environmental pressure, is a technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an in-situ purification method for high-grade cement retarder phosphogypsum in conjunction with cement kilns, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that it is difficult to simultaneously remove multiple impurities while ensuring energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0005] The aforementioned method for in-situ purification of high-grade cement retarder phosphogypsum in a co-operating cement kiln includes the following steps: (1) Scrubbing: The phosphogypsum slurry is wet-grinded and scrubbed to adjust the pH of the slurry to acidic; (2) Reverse flotation: Add the first frother to the acidified phosphogypsum slurry to perform reverse flotation to obtain the first concentrate and the first tailings. Add the second frother to the first concentrate to perform reverse flotation to obtain the second concentrate and the second tailings. Mix the first tailings and the second tailings and then centrifuge them. Send the resulting filtrate to the flotation wastewater tank and send the filter residue to the cement kiln as fuel. (3) Direct flotation: Add the first capture agent to the second concentrate slurry obtained by reverse flotation and perform direct flotation to obtain the third concentrate and the third tailings. Add the second capture agent to the third concentrate and perform direct flotation to further obtain the fourth concentrate and the fourth tailings. Centrifuge the fourth concentrate and filter it. The filter residue is purified phosphogypsum. The filtrate is sent to the flotation wastewater tank. Mix the third tailings and the fourth tailings and centrifuge them. The filtrate is sent to the flotation wastewater tank. The filter residue is sent to the commercial concrete plant as fine aggregate filler. (4) Water bath neutralization: The purified phosphogypsum is remixed and heated to a constant temperature. An alkaline corrector is added to carry out the reaction. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is centrifuged, filtered, and dried by hammer drying. The resulting filter residue is a high-quality cement retarder.
[0006] Preferably, in step (1): phosphogypsum is prepared into a paste with a solid content of 25-35 wt%.
[0007] Preferably, in step (1), the duration of wet bar scrubbing is 5-10 minutes.
[0008] Preferably, in step (1): acid adjustment is to adjust the pH of the phosphogypsum slurry to <3.
[0009] Preferably, in step (2): the first frother is a mixture of flotation oil #2 and MIBC, and the second frother is flotation oil #2; the dosage of the first frother is 60-80 g / t, and the dosage of the second frother is 40-60 g / t.
[0010] Preferably, in step (3): both the first scavenger and the second scavenger are dodecylamine; the amount of the first scavenger is 60-80 g / t, and the amount of the second scavenger is 40-60 g / t.
[0011] Preferably, in step (4): the purified phosphogypsum is re-mixed into a paste with a solid content of 30-50 wt%.
[0012] Preferably, in step (4), the temperature of the isothermal reaction after adding the alkaline corrector is 50-80℃.
[0013] Preferably, in step (4): the pH of the purified phosphogypsum slurry is ≤6.5, and the amount of alkaline corrector is 1.5-5% of the mass of the purified phosphogypsum slurry.
[0014] Preferably, in step (2): the ratio of flotation oil #2 to MIBC in the first foaming agent is 5:1 or 4:1.
[0015] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: Reverse flotation removes organic matter from phosphogypsum, while direct flotation removes siliceous impurities. The flotation process also removes water-soluble and insoluble phosphorus and fluorine impurities. The water bath neutralization method utilizes the residual acidity from the previous flotation step, heating the phosphogypsum to partially decompose it, followed by the addition of an alkali agent for neutralization, thus enhancing the removal rate of eutectic phosphorus (inerting). A pre-processing step involving water washing and rod milling is added before the process, which scrubs the phosphogypsum to improve the impurity removal rates of subsequent flotation and water bath neutralization. Through these steps, this invention can simultaneously remove multiple impurities in each step. Furthermore, in the flotation process, the reverse flotation tailings—organic matter—can be fed into a cement kiln as fuel, and the direct flotation tailings—silicon—can be fed into a commercial concrete plant as fine aggregate filler, solving the problem of secondary pollution from solid waste. Therefore, this invention solves the technical problem of existing technologies failing to simultaneously remove multiple impurities while ensuring energy conservation and environmental protection. Meanwhile, because rod milling improves the flotation and water bath neutralization and impurity removal rates, it can also solve the problems of incomplete phosphogypsum modification and uneven product quality in existing processes.

[0019] Scrubbing: The phosphogypsum slurry is wet-grinded and scrubbed.
[0020] The first step is to prepare the phosphogypsum slurry; after the slurry is prepared, the phosphogypsum slurry is wet-rolled and scrubbed; and an acidic substance is added to the scrubbed product to adjust the pH of the slurry to acidic.
[0021] The preparation of phosphogypsum slurry involves preparing phosphogypsum with a solid content of 25-35 wt%. The duration of wet rod milling is 5-10 minutes, followed by acid adjustment to bring the pH of the phosphogypsum slurry to <3.
[0022] Reverse flotation: Add the first frother to the acidified phosphogypsum slurry for reverse flotation to obtain the first concentrate (slurry) and the first tailings. Add the second frother to the first concentrate for reverse flotation to obtain the second concentrate (slurry) and the second tailings.
[0023] The first and second tailings are mixed and then centrifuged. The resulting filtrate is sent to a flotation wastewater tank, and the separated filter residue is sent to a cement kiln as fuel. The filter residue is composed of organic matter.
