Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization technology of waste resources in the aluminum industry, and in particular relates to a method for high-value treatment of lithium extraction residue from overhaul slag, specifically separating and recovering valuable elements such as fluorine, aluminum, and sodium from the lithium extraction residue from overhaul slag. Background Technology
[0002] Overhaul slag is a hazardous solid waste generated during the overhaul of aluminum electrolytic cells. It has a complex composition, containing harmful substances such as soluble fluorides and cyanides, while also being rich in valuable elements such as lithium, aluminum, sodium, and fluorine. With the development of the new energy industry, lithium extraction from overhaul slag has become an important direction for resource utilization, and related technologies such as wet leaching and alkali roasting-water leaching have made some progress. However, existing technologies almost entirely focus on improving lithium leaching and recovery rates, lacking targeted solutions for the treatment of secondary solid residues generated during the lithium extraction process (i.e., "post-lithium extraction slag"), resulting in a serious shortcoming in the resource utilization chain.
[0003] Currently, patented technologies involving lithium extraction from overhaul slag typically stop at obtaining lithium products in their claims and process endpoints, often glossing over or employing crude methods for the subsequent treatment of the slag. For example, patent CN119735227A, after achieving comprehensive recovery of lithium, sodium, aluminum, and fluorine, explicitly states that the final filter residue will be "sent to a cement plant as a raw material for cement production." This is merely a low-value, large-scale disposal method, failing to deeply extract other potentially valuable components remaining in the slag, nor completely addressing the environmental risks of long-term stockpiling. Patent CN202311349102.X details a complex process of co-processing and separating lithium from overhaul slag and electrolyte, but all its technical effects revolve around obtaining "battery-grade lithium carbonate." The specification makes no mention of the properties, destinations, or subsequent treatment plans for secondary solid wastes such as "first residue" and "third residue" generated during the process. This "lithium extraction and slag disposal" model is the current prevalent state of technology.
[0004] Due to a lack of specialized technology, lithium extraction slag from overhaul slag currently faces similar industry challenges as ordinary lithium smelting slag: difficulty in large-scale utilization, difficulty in high-value utilization, and high storage costs. Specifically: Environmental risk transfer: Simply sending the slag to cement plants for mixing or landfilling may result in harmful components such as fluorine and cyanide remaining in the slag or undergoing transformation, causing secondary pollution. Severe resource waste: The slag usually still contains incompletely recovered elements such as aluminum, fluorine, and sodium; direct disposal results in resource waste. Poor economic viability: Low-value utilization cannot offset the transportation and processing costs of the slag, while paid stockpiling imposes a long-term burden on enterprises, affecting the economic viability of the entire lithium extraction process.
[0005] In summary, current technologies focus on the initial lithium extraction from overhaul slag, while severely neglecting the deep harmlessness and high-value utilization of the downstream slag. Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a method specifically for treating the slag after lithium extraction from overhaul slag, in order to address its environmental hazards and resource waste, and fill the technological gap in the last mile of the industrial chain. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for recovering valuable elements such as fluorine, aluminum, and sodium from lithium extraction slag after overhaul slag through fluorosilicic acid treatment. Using this method to treat the lithium extraction slag allows the final products to be converted into high-quality cryolite and aluminum fluoride products; it achieves efficient recovery and utilization of valuable elements such as fluorine, aluminum, and sodium, thereby improving the resource utilization efficiency of these elements.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for high-value processing of lithium-extracting slag from overhaul slag involves first mixing and reacting the lithium-extracting slag with fluorosilicic acid, followed by solid-liquid separation to obtain solid A and liquid A; then mixing and reacting solid A with ammonia water at high temperature, followed by solid-liquid separation to obtain a fluorine-containing solution B and silicon-containing slag C; finally, reacting the fluorine-containing solution B with sodium aluminate yields cryolite.
[0008] Liquid A and aluminum hydroxide are mixed and reacted at high temperature. After solid-liquid separation, aluminum fluoride liquid B and silicon slag C are obtained. The aluminum fluoride liquid B can be crystallized at high temperature and calcined to obtain high-quality aluminum fluoride products. The silicon slag C and C' produced in this process can be used to manufacture artificial stone or building fillers.
[0009] The specific steps of this method are as follows: S1. After lithium extraction from the overhaul slag, mix it with fluorosilicic acid and heat it in a microwave chemical reactor to 70-90℃ for 2-4 hours. After the reaction, separate the solid and liquid components to obtain solid A and liquid A. Wash solid A with water until the pH of the wash water reaches 4-5. The wash water can be reused in the next batch of experiments to dilute the fluorosilicic acid solution. The main components of solid A are sodium fluorosilicate generated in the reaction and other unreacted impurities in the original slag, such as carbon, alumina, and calcium fluoride. The main components of liquid A are aluminum fluorosilicate generated in the reaction and some fluorosilicic acid. The main reaction equations involved in this step are as follows: 2NaF+H2SiF6=Na2SiF6+2HF (1-1) 2AlF3+3H2SiF6=Al2(SiF6)3+6HF (1-2) 6HF+SiO2=H2SiF6+2H2O (1-3) S2. Mix solid A with an ammonia solution and react at room temperature for 1.5-2 hours. Separate the solid and liquid to obtain liquid B containing sodium fluoride and ammonium fluoride, and silicon-containing slag. The main components of the silicon-containing slag C are silicon dioxide and other unreacted impurities from the original slag, such as carbon, alumina, and calcium fluoride. The main reaction equations involved in this step are as follows: Na2SiF6+4NH3·H2O=2NaF+4NH4F+SiO2↓+2H2O (1-4) S3. Mix the fluorine-containing liquid B with the sodium aluminate solution and react at 90-100℃ for 2-4 hours. After solid-liquid separation, wash the filter cake with water and then dry it to obtain the cryolite product. The wash water is reused 4-5 times and then mixed with the cryolite mother liquor for reuse in ammonia absorption. The main reaction equations involved in this step are as follows: 2NaF+4NH4F+NaAlO2=Na3AlF6↓+4NH3↑+2H2O (1-5) S4. Preheat liquid A to 60-70℃, then add aluminum hydroxide in batches, followed by heating to 80-90℃ and reacting for 30 min-1 h. Separate the solid and liquid phases while hot to obtain aluminum fluoride-containing liquid B' and silicon-containing slag C'. The main component of silicon-containing slag C' is amorphous silicon dioxide. The main reaction equations involved in this step are as follows: Al2(SiF6)3+4Al(OH)3=6AlF3+3SiO2↓+6H2O (1-6) H2SiF6+2Al(OH)3=2AlF3+SiO2↓+4H2O (1-7) S5. Add a certain amount of seed crystals to the aluminum fluoride liquid B' and crystallize at high temperature. After crystallization, separate the solid and liquid to obtain aluminum fluoride trihydrate crystals and aluminum fluoride mother liquor. The aluminum fluoride trihydrate crystals can be calcined at high temperature to obtain high-quality anhydrous aluminum fluoride. The aluminum fluoride mother liquor can be further processed to obtain other fluoride salt products.
[0010] Specifically, in step S1, the solid-liquid ratio of the slag to fluorosilicic acid is 1:6-8; the concentration of fluorosilicic acid can be any integer between 15% and 25% (mass fraction); and the fluorosilicic acid used must ensure SO4 levels are low. 2- ≤0.030%, PO3 3- ≤0.0020% to avoid the introduction of sulfate and phosphate ions, which would affect the quality of aluminum fluoride products.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, a microwave chemical reactor is used for heating and stirring reaction. Compared with conventional solid-liquid mixing and stirring reaction, it can achieve endogenous heating under microwave intervention, better promote the occurrence of solid-liquid reaction, and make the reaction more thorough.
[0012] Specifically, the amount of ammonia used in step S2 is determined by the sodium content in the slag after lithium extraction from the overhaul slag in step S1. The molar ratio of sodium to ammonia in the slag is Na : NH3 = 1 : 2.1-2.2, meaning that the amount of ammonia used is 10-20% in excess of the theoretical molar ratio, ensuring that sodium fluorosilicate is completely consumed; the concentration of ammonia is 8-10 mol / L.
[0013] Furthermore, the feeding method in step S2 is as follows: solid A is prepared into a slurry of 12% using water or recycled cryolite mother liquor, and ammonia water is added dropwise under continuous stirring at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. After the feeding is completed, the reaction is continuously stirred at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours, then filtered, the filter cake is rinsed with hot water, and the wash water is reused 4-5 times and then reused for subsequent steps to absorb ammonia.
[0014] Specifically, in step S3, the cryolite synthesis reaction is carried out at a temperature of 90-100℃. The raw materials are a fluorine-containing solution B and a sodium aluminate solution, with a feed ratio of F:Al = 6.0-6.6 (molar ratio). The fluorine-containing solution and the sodium aluminate solution are added to the reactor simultaneously, reacting while being added, to obtain a cryolite slurry. The synthesis reaction can be carried out intermittently or continuously. The slurry can be filtered by vacuum filtration, pressure filtration, centrifugal filtration, or other filtration methods. The filter cake is then washed and dried to obtain a high-quality cryolite product.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S3, sodium aluminate α k =0.8-1.1, meaning the molar ratio of caustic soda to alumina in sodium aluminate is 0.8-1.1:1; during the synthesis of cryolite, the α-coated sodium aluminate content is adjusted... k The value can be used to synthesize cryolite products with different molecular ratios.
[0016] Furthermore, the ammonia gas generated in step S3 can be collected from recycled cryolite mother liquor or water, reprocessed into ammonia water, and reused in step S2 to participate in the ammonolysis reaction of slag A, thereby realizing ammonia recycling.
[0017] Specifically, the amount of aluminum hydroxide added in step S4 is determined by the aluminum content in the slag after lithium extraction from the overhaul slag in step S1, and the molar ratio of aluminum to aluminum hydroxide in the slag is 1:3.0-3.2.
[0018] Furthermore, the silica slag materials C and C' in steps S2 and S4 can be sold as by-products, used as admixtures for asphalt or concrete, or as auxiliary materials for ceramics and tile products.
[0019] Specifically, the seed crystals added in step S5 are aluminum fluoride trihydrate, the amount of seed crystals added is 10%-20% of the theoretical amount of aluminum fluoride trihydrate to be precipitated, the crystallization temperature is 95-100℃, the stirring rate is 100rpm, and the crystallization time is 4-6h.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S5, the calcination of aluminum trihydrate is a stepped heating calcination, and the temperature and time are controlled as follows: the room temperature is raised to 200°C, held at 200°C for 1 hour, then the temperature is raised to 550°C; after holding at 550°C for 3 hours, the temperature is lowered to room temperature to obtain a high-quality anhydrous aluminum fluoride product.
[0021] Furthermore, in the above invention, room temperature refers to a temperature of 25±5℃.
[0022] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1) This invention uses fluorosilicic acid to treat lithium extraction slag, realizing the comprehensive utilization of aluminum and sodium-containing slag after lithium extraction from overhaul slag. The final products are high-quality cryolite with different molecular ratios and high-quality aluminum fluoride, realizing the efficient recovery and utilization of valuable elements such as fluorine, aluminum, and sodium, improving resource utilization efficiency and avoiding resource waste and environmental pollution caused by direct disposal. 2) By optimizing the processing parameters, this invention overcomes the limitations of single-target component extraction in the prior art, ensuring the high purity and quality of cryolite and aluminum fluoride products, improving the market competitiveness of the products. At the same time, all liquids and gases generated during the reaction are recycled and reused in the system, and the solids generated are sold as by-products, avoiding the discharge of waste gas, wastewater, and solid waste, and realizing low-carbon and green production. 3) The method of the present invention is simple in process and easy to operate. It does not require complicated equipment and technology and is easy to industrialize. At the same time, it can avoid direct high-temperature calcination in pyrometallurgy, reduce energy consumption, and has good economic benefits and practical value. 4) The cryolite product obtained after treatment by this invention meets the product index requirements in the GB / T 4291-2017 national standard for cryolite; the aluminum fluoride product obtained after treatment by this invention meets the product index requirements of AF-2 brand aluminum fluoride in the GB / T 4292-2017 national standard for aluminum fluoride; the product obtained after treatment by this invention can guarantee its quality and performance stability.
