Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste treatment, and more specifically, relates to a method for sulfur extraction from waste residue. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial production processes generate large amounts of sulfur-containing waste residues, such as metallurgical and chemical waste residues. Directly dumping or landfilling this waste not only wastes sulfur resources but also risks causing soil and water pollution due to rainwater leaching and sulfur migration. Furthermore, the resource-based disposal of sulfur-containing waste residues requires a balance between efficient sulfur recovery and the secondary utilization of the residues. Existing sulfur extraction methods often focus on parameter control at a single extraction stage, lacking coordinated control over the entire process, including leaching, separation, residue modification, and leaching agent regeneration. This results in problems such as unstable sulfur extraction efficiency, poor residue modification, high leaching agent consumption, and process logic breaks.
[0003] Existing sulfur extraction methods suffer from the following drawbacks: Traditional methods rely solely on empirically determined particle size and leaching agent ratios, failing to dynamically adjust based on the initial sulfur content and particle size distribution of the waste residue. This leads to incomplete leaching reactions. Sulfur-containing waste residues from different sources and batches exhibit significant variations in initial sulfur content and characteristic particle size. Determining the target particle size based solely on fixed empirical values can result in problems such as insufficient specific surface area of the waste residue and inadequate contact between the leaching agent and sulfur when the particle size is too large, or a surge in stirring energy consumption and increased difficulty in subsequent solid-liquid separation when the particle size is too small. This empirical parameter setting model makes the leaching stage the efficiency bottleneck of the entire sulfur extraction process. It not only directly leads to insufficient sulfur resource recovery but also, due to fluctuations in the sulfur concentration of the leachate and instability in the residual sulfur content, further affects the parameter compatibility of subsequent separation and residue modification processes, creating a chain of negative consequences. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for sulfur extraction from waste residue, which aims to solve the problem that in existing waste residue sulfur extraction methods, the crushing particle size and leaching agent ratio are set only based on experience and are not dynamically adjusted in conjunction with the initial sulfur content and particle size distribution of the waste residue.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a method for sulfur extraction from waste residue, comprising: Obtain characteristic particle size information and initial sulfur content information of the waste residue, and pretreat the waste residue; The leaching agent ratio is determined and the leaching agent is prepared based on the characteristic particle size information and the initial sulfur content information; The pretreated waste residue and the prepared leaching agent are put into the reaction vessel to carry out the leaching reaction; During the reaction process, real-time potential information of the reaction system is obtained, and the stirring rate and reaction time are dynamically adjusted based on the real-time potential information. The leaching mixture was subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain a sulfur-containing solution and leaching residue. Extract sulfur from the sulfur-containing solution; The leaching residue is modified.
[0006] In one possible implementation, obtaining the characteristic particle size information and initial sulfur content information of the waste residue, and pretreating the waste residue, includes: The optimal crushing particle size is determined based on the characteristic particle size information and the initial sulfur content information; The waste residue is crushed according to the optimal crushing particle size to obtain pretreated waste residue.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the step of adding the pretreated waste residue and the prepared leaching agent into a reactor for leaching reaction includes: The initial stirring rate is determined based on the optimal crushing particle size. The pretreated waste residue is added to the reactor in proportion, and then the prepared leaching agent is slowly added. Stirring is started at the initial stirring rate to initiate the leaching reaction.
[0008] In one possible implementation, acquiring real-time potential information of the reaction system during the reaction process, and dynamically adjusting the stirring rate and reaction time based on the real-time potential information, includes: To obtain real-time potential information of the reaction system during the reaction process; Determine whether the real-time potential information deviates from the preset potential range, and decide whether to adjust the stirring rate based on the determination result.
[0009] In one possible implementation, determining whether to adjust the stirring rate based on the judgment result includes: If the real-time potential information deviates from the potential range, the stirring rate is re-determined based on the real-time potential information; if the real-time potential information does not deviate from the potential range, the stirring rate is not adjusted.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the extraction of sulfur from the sulfur-containing liquid includes: Obtain the initial sulfur concentration information in the sulfur-containing liquid; The initial flow rate of the ion exchange column is determined based on the initial sulfur concentration information, and sulfur in the sulfur-containing solution is enriched starting at the initial flow rate of the ion exchange column, thereby obtaining a sulfur-enriched solution and a sulfur-poor solution.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the extraction of sulfur from the sulfur-containing liquid further includes: Obtain real-time sulfur concentration information in the sulfur-containing liquid; The flow rate of the ion exchange column is adjusted based on the real-time sulfur concentration information.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the extraction of sulfur from the sulfur-containing liquid further includes: The concentration of the leaching agent in the sulfur-poor solution was determined; The amount of leaching agent to be added is calculated based on the leaching agent concentration information and the target leaching agent concentration information; The leaching agent is added to the sulfur-poor solution according to the specified amount of leaching agent to facilitate the preparation of a regenerated leaching agent.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the modification treatment of the leaching residue includes: The silica content and residual sulfur content in the leaching residue were determined. The mineral powder ratio and the cementitious material ratio are determined based on the silica content and the residual sulfur content. The leaching residue, mineral powder, and cementing materials are mixed in a specific ratio to form a slurry. The slurry is poured into a mold and placed in an aging chamber for aging.
[0014] In one possible implementation, pouring the slurry into a mold and placing it in an aging tank for aging includes: The aging temperature is determined based on the remaining sulfur content. The slurry is poured into a mold and placed in an aging chamber, and aged for 28 days at the aging temperature.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the waste residue sulfur extraction method provided by the present invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the waste residue sulfur extraction method of the present invention first obtains the characteristic particle size information and initial sulfur content information of the waste residue and performs pretreatment, so that the subsequent process can be carried out based on the actual characteristics of the waste residue, avoiding the problem that the parameter settings in the past were divorced from the actual situation of the waste residue.
[0016] Based on the characteristic particle size and initial sulfur content of the waste residue, the leaching agent ratio was determined and the leaching agent was prepared. This ensured that the composition of the leaching agent precisely matched the form and content of sulfur in the waste residue, improving the reactivity of the leaching agent with sulfur and reducing ineffective consumption of the leaching agent. The pretreated waste residue and the prepared leaching agent were then added to the reactor for leaching, providing a suitable reaction environment for the separation of sulfur from the waste residue and ensuring the smooth start of the leaching reaction.
[0017] Real-time potential information of the reaction system is acquired during the reaction process, and the stirring rate and reaction time are dynamically adjusted based on this information. This allows for real-time adaptation to changes in the reaction system, ensuring that the reaction is always in a state conducive to sulfur leaching and avoiding insufficient leaching or excessive energy consumption due to fixed reaction conditions. Solid-liquid separation is then performed on the leached mixture to obtain a sulfur-containing solution and leaching residue, achieving preliminary separation of sulfur from the solid waste component and laying the foundation for subsequent sulfur extraction and residue treatment.
[0018] Extracting sulfur from sulfur-containing solutions allows for the separation of sulfur resources from the liquid, enabling their recycling and improving resource utilization. Modifying the leaching residue alters its properties, making it suitable for secondary use and avoiding the environmental burden caused by direct disposal, thus achieving full-process resource-based disposal of waste.
[0019] The entire process, through the coordinated efforts of each stage, forms a complete system from waste residue pretreatment to sulfur extraction and residue modification. This effectively solves the problem of focusing only on parameter control of a single sulfur extraction stage in the past, improves the stability of sulfur extraction efficiency, enhances the residue modification effect, reduces the consumption of leaching agent, and makes the entire sulfur extraction process more logical and more in line with the actual needs of waste residue resource utilization in industrial production.

[0092] S642. Pour the slurry into a mold and place it in an aging chamber, and age it for 28 days at the aging temperature.
[0093] During the aging process, the humidity should be maintained at no less than 90%. After aging, the compressive strength of the modified residue is tested using a pressure testing machine, and the leaching amount of harmful substances is tested using a leaching toxicity detector.
[0094] The beneficial effects of the waste residue sulfur extraction method provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this invention first obtains the characteristic particle size information and initial sulfur content information of the waste residue and pre-treats the waste residue. Then, based on this information, it determines the leaching agent ratio and prepares the leaching agent. This allows the entire sulfur extraction process to conform to the actual characteristics of the waste residue from the source, avoiding the problem of deviating from the actual situation of the waste residue caused by relying solely on experience to set parameters. This lays the foundation for the efficient operation of subsequent stages. The pre-treated waste residue and the prepared leaching agent are then added to the reactor for leaching reaction, providing a suitable initial environment for the separation of sulfur from the waste residue. This ensures the smooth start of the leaching reaction and reduces reaction delays or low efficiency caused by unsuitable initial conditions.
[0095] By acquiring real-time potential information of the reaction system during the reaction process and dynamically adjusting the stirring rate and reaction time based on this information, the system can respond to changes in the reaction process in real time, ensuring that the reaction is always in the optimal state for sulfur leaching. This avoids incomplete leaching caused by fixed reaction conditions and prevents excessive energy consumption, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of the leaching reaction. Solid-liquid separation is then performed on the leached mixture to obtain sulfur-containing liquid and leaching residue, achieving effective separation of sulfur from the solid waste. This creates conditions for subsequent separate treatment of the sulfur-containing liquid and leaching residue, allowing the subsequent stages of the entire process to proceed in an orderly manner.
[0096] Extracting sulfur from sulfur-containing solutions effectively separates and recovers sulfur resources from the liquid, improving the utilization rate of sulfur resources, reducing waste, and transforming sulfur elements that might otherwise be lost with the waste liquid into reusable resources. Modifying the leaching residue alters its properties, making it suitable for secondary use and avoiding the environmental burden caused by direct disposal. This achieves a closed-loop resource utilization system for waste residue treatment, meeting the requirements of green environmental protection and resource recycling.
[0097] The optimal crushing particle size is determined based on characteristic particle size information and initial sulfur content information. The waste residue is then crushed according to this optimal particle size, ensuring that the crushed residue particle size better meets the requirements of the subsequent leaching reaction. This avoids insufficient contact between the leaching agent and sulfur due to excessively large particle size, while also preventing increased stirring energy consumption and difficulties in subsequent solid-liquid separation due to excessively small particle size, further optimizing the pretreatment effect. The initial stirring rate is determined based on the optimal crushing particle size. Then, the waste residue and leaching agent are added proportionally, and the leaching reaction is initiated with the initial stirring rate. This ensures that the initial stirring conditions of the leaching reaction are compatible with the waste residue particle size, guaranteeing sufficient mixing of the waste residue and leaching agent in the initial stage of the reaction, providing a good start for the efficient leaching reaction.
[0098] The system determines whether real-time potential information deviates from the preset potential range and accordingly decides whether to adjust the stirring rate. It also re-determines the stirring rate when deviations occur and does not adjust it when it does not, making stirring rate adjustment more targeted and scientific. This avoids reaction instability caused by blind adjustment and further improves the controllability of the reaction process. The system obtains the initial sulfur concentration information of the sulfur-containing solution and determines the initial flow rate of the ion exchange column accordingly. Using this flow rate to enrich sulfur and obtain sulfur-enriched and sulfur-depleted solutions allows the operating parameters of the ion exchange column to match the initial state of the sulfur-containing solution, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of sulfur enrichment and reducing resource waste during the enrichment process.
[0099] By acquiring real-time sulfur concentration information of the sulfur-containing solution and adjusting the ion exchange column flow rate accordingly, the system can adapt to changes in sulfur concentration in the solution in real time, ensuring high enrichment efficiency throughout the enrichment process and avoiding a decrease in enrichment effect due to changes in sulfur concentration. The concentration of the leaching agent in the sulfur-poor solution is measured, and the dosage is calculated based on this information and the target concentration of the leaching agent. This allows for the preparation of regenerated leaching agent, achieving recycling of the leaching agent, reducing the total consumption of leaching agent, lowering treatment costs, and also reducing environmental pollution caused by waste leaching agent.
[0100] The silica and residual sulfur content in the leaching residue were measured to determine the proportions of mineral powder and cementitious materials. These three components were then mixed in a specific ratio to form a slurry, which was then aged in an aging chamber. This process ensured that the modification parameters were precisely matched to the compositional characteristics of the residue, guaranteeing good secondary utilization performance. The aging temperature was determined based on the residual sulfur content, and the residue was aged at this temperature for 28 days. This further optimized the aging process, ensuring the final performance stability of the modified residue and maintaining good performance in subsequent applications.
[0101] The entire process, through close coordination and collaboration among its various stages, forms a complete system from waste residue pretreatment to sulfur extraction, residue modification, and leaching agent regeneration. This effectively solves the problems of previous processes that focused only on single-stage parameter control and had broken process logic. It significantly improves the stability of sulfur extraction efficiency, enhances residue modification effects, and greatly reduces leaching agent consumption, making the entire sulfur extraction process more coherent and efficient. It fully meets the actual needs of waste residue resource utilization in industrial production, improving economic benefits while minimizing negative environmental impacts.
