Description

A modified aluminum red mud material and its application Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical solid waste recycling, specifically to a modified aluminum red mud material and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum red mud is a highly alkaline industrial solid waste generated during alumina production. It typically contains a large amount of residual alkali and various heavy metal components. Due to its high water content (28%-40%), strong alkalinity, and high viscosity, its long-term storage and disposal in block form not only occupies a large amount of land resources but also poses serious environmental risks such as soil alkalization and heavy metal pollution of groundwater.

[0003] Currently, the main technologies for treating aluminum red mud include acid neutralization, salting out, and high-temperature roasting. However, existing methods generally suffer from high treatment costs, high energy consumption, and significant risks of secondary pollution. For example, traditional wet neutralization requires a large amount of acidic reagents and easily generates saline wastewater; while high-temperature roasting can solidify heavy metals to some extent, it is energy-intensive and requires significant equipment investment, making large-scale industrial application difficult. Furthermore, conventional modification processes often result in uneven absorption of modifiers and incomplete reactions due to the high moisture content and uneven particle size of aluminum red mud, leading to unstable product performance that fails to meet the application requirements of building materials, soil remediation, and other fields.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a modified aluminum red mud material and its applications. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a modified aluminum red mud material and its applications.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a modified aluminum red mud material, which is prepared by the following method: Step S1: Drying the aluminum red mud to obtain dried aluminum red mud; Step S2: Crushing the dried aluminum red mud to obtain crushed aluminum red mud; Step S3: Spraying a complexing modifier onto the crushed aluminum red mud to obtain a modified aluminum red mud intermediate; Step S4: Spraying a neutralizing and curing liquid onto the modified aluminum red mud intermediate for neutralization treatment, and after natural ventilation, obtaining the modified aluminum red mud material.

[0007] Furthermore, the drying process in step S1 is as follows: the blocky aluminum red mud is dried to a moisture content of 8%-10%.

[0008] Furthermore, the pulverization process in step S2 is as follows: the dried aluminum red mud is pulverized to a particle size of 80-120 mesh.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S3, the spraying is carried out using a nano-scale spray gun; furthermore, in step S3, the amount of complexing modifier used is 8%-12% of the mass of the pulverized aluminum red mud.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, the specific conditions for neutralization treatment are as follows: the neutralization curing liquid is sprayed using a nano-level spray gun while being sprayed and stirred, with a stirring speed of 60rpm-120rpm and a stirring time of 20min-40min.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, the amount of neutralizing and curing liquid sprayed is 8%-15% of the mass of the modified aluminum red mud intermediate.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S4, natural ventilation is carried out for 24-48 hours to reduce the moisture content to below 5%.

[0013] Further, the preparation method of the complexing modifier is as follows: Step A1: Heat deionized water to 45℃-55℃, add maleic anhydride, acrylamide and ammonium persulfate, and stir under nitrogen protection for 2h-3h to obtain copolymer base liquid; Step A2: Add tetraethylenepentamine and triethanolamine to copolymer base liquid, adjust pH to 8.0-9.0, heat to 65℃-75℃, and react for 1.5h-2.5h to obtain complexing intermediate; Step A3: Cool the complexing intermediate to 40-50℃, add dropwise an aqueous solution containing sodium citrate and sodium gluconate, add solid acid, stir at constant temperature for 30min-60min, and after cooling, obtain complexing modifier.

[0014] Furthermore, in the preparation process of the complexing modifier, the specific components by weight are as follows: maleic anhydride 18-22 parts, acrylamide 12-16 parts, ammonium persulfate 0.4-0.6 parts, tetraethylenepentamine 9-11 parts, triethanolamine 6-8 parts, an aqueous solution containing sodium citrate and sodium gluconate 16.5-20.5 parts, solid acid 1-2 parts, and deionized water 160-210 parts.

[0015] Furthermore, the aqueous solution containing sodium citrate and sodium gluconate is composed of the following components by weight: 4-5 parts sodium citrate, 2.5-3.5 parts sodium gluconate, and 10-12 parts deionized water.

[0016] Furthermore, the solid acid is selected from any one of tartaric acid, oxalic acid, and boric acid.

[0017] Further, the preparation method of the neutralized curing solution is as follows: Step B1: Add deionized water to the reaction vessel, heat to 40-45℃, add phosphoric acid, stir for 5-8 minutes, then add oxalic acid, stir until completely dissolved, to obtain acidic mixture A; Step B2: Maintain 40℃-45℃, add sodium aluminosilicate to mixture A while stirring, and continue stirring for 40-60 minutes after the addition is complete, to obtain mixture B; Step B3: Cool mixture B to 25℃-30℃, add sodium bisulfate, stir until completely dissolved; then add lignin sulfonate, stir for 20-30 minutes, to obtain mixture C; Step B4: Add disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate to mixture C, stir until completely dissolved, let stand for 0.5-1 hour, filter, to obtain neutralized curing solution.

[0018] Furthermore, in the preparation process of the neutralization and curing liquid, the specific components of each material by weight are as follows: 80-120 parts deionized water, 5-10 parts phosphoric acid, 3-6 parts oxalic acid, 10-18 parts sodium aluminosilicate, 3-6 parts sodium bisulfate, 4-8 parts lignin sulfonate, and 1-3 parts disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention provides an application of modified alumina red mud material in roadbed materials, building materials, or fly ash substitutes.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention solves the problems of incomplete alkaline neutralization and poor heavy metal curing in existing aluminum red mud modification processes by employing a synergistic system of complexing modifier and neutralizing curing liquid. The complexing modifier is prepared by amination modification and polycarboxylic acid complexation modification of copolymer base liquid. It can form a complex layer on the surface of aluminum red mud particles, realizing in-situ capture of heavy metals. Combined with the synergistic activation of dual acids and the strong chelation of EDTA in the neutralizing curing liquid, deep curing of heavy metals is achieved. At the same time, the acidic system of the neutralizing curing liquid precisely neutralizes the strong alkalinity of aluminum red mud, keeping the pH of the modified material stable in the weakly alkaline range. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional acid neutralization methods, which can only simply reduce alkali and are prone to over-neutralization or incomplete neutralization, effectively avoiding the environmental risks of soil alkalization and secondary leaching of heavy metals.

[0021] The modification process employed in this invention is carried out entirely at room temperature, and the complexing modifier and neutralizing curing liquid are uniformly sprayed using a nano-scale spray gun. This solves the problems of high energy consumption and large equipment investment in existing high-temperature calcination modification processes, as well as the uneven absorption and incomplete reaction of modifiers caused by uneven material mixing in conventional wet modification processes. The pulverized aluminum red mud has a uniform particle size, which can fully adsorb the complexing modifier. Combined with the process of spraying and stirring simultaneously, the complexing modifier, neutralizing curing liquid, and aluminum red mud particles are fully contacted and react completely. This ensures the stability of the modified product's performance, significantly reduces production energy consumption and process costs, and eliminates the need for large amounts of acidic reagents, avoiding the secondary pollution problem of saline wastewater generated by traditional wet neutralization. This makes it more suitable for large-scale industrial applications.

[0022] The modified aluminum red mud material prepared by this invention not only realizes the transformation of aluminum red mud from highly alkaline hazardous solid waste to general industrial solid waste, but also solves the problems of limited application scenarios and low resource utilization rate of existing modified red mud products. The modified material has lower corrosivity and heavy metal leaching toxicity than the national hazardous waste identification standards, and forms a stable granular structure, which can be directly used as roadbed material, building material or fly ash substitute, realizing the high-value resource utilization of aluminum red mud. At the same time, the modification process adopted by this invention has strong versatility and can provide feasible solutions for the harmless and resource-based treatment of various industrial solid wastes and soil-like solid wastes, effectively alleviating the land occupation and environmental pollution problems caused by solid waste stockpiling, and meeting the industrial development needs of resource recycling.

This comparative example will not be repeated. Finally, the modified aluminum red mud material was obtained.

[0042] Performance tests were conducted on the modified aluminum red mud materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5, and the results are recorded in Table 1.

[0043] Detection method for modified aluminum red mud materials: 1. Leachate preparation method: Prepare the sample leachate according to the "Solid Waste Leaching Toxicity Leaching Method - Sulfuric Acid and Nitric Acid Method" (HJ / T 299-2007). Accurately weigh the modified aluminum red mud sample and place it in a 2L extraction bottle. Add sulfuric acid and nitric acid extraction solvent (concentrated sulfuric acid to concentrated nitric acid mass ratio 2:1) with a liquid-to-solid ratio of 10:1 (L / kg) at pH 3.20±0.05. Fix the extraction bottle on a rotating shaker and shake at a speed of 30±2 r / min for 18h±2h. After shaking, let it stand for 15min, filter it with medium-speed quantitative filter paper, and collect the leachate for subsequent analysis.

[0044] 2. The pH value was determined according to the standard "Determination of Corrosivity of Solid Waste by Glass Electrode Method" (GB / T 15555.12-1995).

[0045] 3. The method for determining hexavalent chromium is as follows: Determination of hexavalent chromium in leachate by diphenylcarbazide spectrophotometric method (GB / T 15555.4-1995)

[0046] 4. The method for determining heavy metal elements (lead, cadmium, and total chromium) is the same as that for determining the content of lead, cadmium, and total chromium in leachate according to the method of "Determination of 22 Metallic Elements in Solid Waste by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry" (HJ 781-2016).

[0047] 5. The determination methods for mercury and arsenic are as follows: "Determination of Mercury, Arsenic, Selenium, Bismuth and Antimony in Solid Waste by Microwave Digestion Atomic Fluorescence Method" (HJ 702-2014) is used to determine the content of mercury and arsenic in the leachate.

[0048] Note: The standard limits are based on Article 3.1 of the "Identification Standard for Hazardous Waste: Corrosivity Identification" (GB 5085.1-2007) and the "Identification Standard for Hazardous Waste: Leaching Toxicity Identification" (GB 5085.3-2007).

[0049] Table 1: Test results of modified aluminum red mud materials

[0050] Note: ND indicates not detected.

[0051] As shown in Table 1, the modified aluminum red mud materials prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention exhibit excellent performance in terms of corrosion control and inhibition of heavy metal leaching toxicity. All test indicators are lower than the limits specified in the "Identification Standard for Hazardous Waste", which is significantly better than Comparative Examples 1-5.

[0052] Data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 show that in Comparative Example 1, the complexing modifier was replaced with an equal mass of complexing intermediate in step S3. Due to the lack of polycarboxylic acid complexation by sodium citrate and sodium gluconate, and the pH adjustment function of tartaric acid, the in-situ complexing ability of the complexing modifier for heavy metals in aluminum red mud decreased. Detection data showed that the pH value of Comparative Example 1 was significantly higher than that of Example 1, still exhibiting strong alkalinity; simultaneously, the arsenic leaching amount was significantly higher than that of Example 1, the hexavalent chromium leaching amount was close to the standard limit, and heavy metals such as lead and cadmium changed from undetectable to detectable. Overall, the modification effect was significantly inferior to that of Example 1.

[0053] Data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 show that in Comparative Example 2, the complexing modifier was replaced with an equal mass of copolymer base liquid in step S3. Due to the lack of amino and hydroxyl functional groups introduced by amination modification, the chelating ability of the copolymer for heavy metals decreased significantly. Test data showed that the pH value of Comparative Example 2 was significantly higher, the arsenic leaching amount was significantly higher than that of Example 1, the hexavalent chromium leaching amount was close to the limit, and the total chromium leaching amount was significantly higher than that of Example 1, confirming the key role of amination modification in enhancing the heavy metal capture ability of the complexing modifier.

[0054] Data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 show that in Comparative Example 3, the neutralizing and curing solution was replaced with an equal mass of mixed solution C in step S4. Due to the lack of EDTA's strong chelating effect on heavy metals and the synergistic effect between lignin sulfonate and EDTA, the heavy metal curing effect was significantly deteriorated. Test data showed that the pH value of Comparative Example 3 was significantly increased, the leaching amount of hexavalent chromium exceeded the standard limit, the leaching amount of arsenic was significantly higher than in Example 1, and the levels of lead, cadmium, and total chromium were all significantly increased. The product could no longer meet the safety requirements for general industrial solid waste, fully demonstrating the indispensable role of EDTA in the chelation and curing of heavy metals.

[0055] Data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 show that in Comparative Example 4, the neutralizing curing solution was replaced with an equal mass of mixture B in step S4. Due to the lack of dispersion and cross-linking effects of lignin sulfonate, the uniformity of penetration of the neutralizing curing solution into the pulverized aluminum red mud decreased, leading to incomplete local reactions. Test data showed that although the pH value of Comparative Example 4 was slightly higher than that of Example 1, the arsenic leaching amount was significantly higher, and the leaching amounts of hexavalent chromium and total chromium were also significantly increased, confirming the important role of lignin sulfonate in improving the dispersion uniformity and completeness of the curing solution.

[0056] Data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 5 show that in Comparative Example 5, the neutralizing and curing liquid was replaced with an equal mass of mixture A in step S4. This was due to the lack of active Al provided by sodium aluminosilicate. 3+ Due to the dispersion and cross-linking effects of monosilicic acid and silicate ions, as well as the subsequent chelation and curing effects of lignin sulfonate and EDTA, the neutralization and curing solution can only achieve preliminary acid-base neutralization of aluminum red mud, and cannot achieve deep curing of heavy metals and cross-linking nucleation between particles. Test data show that the pH value of Comparative Example 5 is still significantly higher than that of Example 1; at the same time, the leaching amounts of arsenic, hexavalent chromium, and total chromium are all significantly higher than those of Example 1, and heavy metals such as lead and cadmium have changed from undetectable to detectable. This fully demonstrates the necessity of the synergistic effect of the components in the neutralization and curing solution of this invention for achieving precise control of the alkalinity of aluminum red mud and efficient curing of heavy metals.

[0057] In summary, this invention achieves effective neutralization of the alkalinity of aluminum red mud and deep curing of heavy metals through a multi-level design involving amination modification of the complexing modifier, enhancement through complexation with polycarboxylic acids, and synergistic activation of the neutralizing curing liquid by dual acids, dispersion and crosslinking with lignin sulfonate, and chelation curing with EDTA. The treated modified aluminum red mud material has a pH value reduced to the weakly alkaline range, and the heavy metal leaching amount is far below the national standard limit. It is transformed from a strongly alkaline hazardous solid waste into general industrial solid waste, showing broad application prospects in roadbed materials, building materials, and other fields.
