Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of treatment of carbon-containing hazardous waste from aluminum electrolysis plants, in particular to a pretreatment system for carbon-containing hazardous waste from aluminum electrolysis plants. Background technology:

[0002] The cathode blocks (WH321-023-48) and anode blocks (WH321-025-48) produced by the electrolytic aluminum plant are carbon-containing hazardous wastes. Their main components are carbon, sodium, aluminum, fluorine, lithium, carbon powder, and a small amount of iron. Part of the aluminum exists in the form of metallic aluminum, and the remaining aluminum, sodium, and fluorine exist in the form of cryolite molecules. Lithium exists in the form of lithium fluoride or lithium cryolite. Before recovering valuable metals, the above block materials need to be crushed and finely ground into 160 mesh 95% sieving rate powders. In addition, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the elemental aluminum and elemental iron entrained in the above materials on the subsequent recovery of valuable metals, the elemental aluminum and elemental iron entrained in them need to be removed. The existing crushing scheme is: during the crushing process of block materials, aluminum and iron are directly selected manually on the belt conveyor, which poses a great safety hazard; and most of the grinding to 160 mesh is done by Raymond mill, which causes the aluminum and iron that are not completely separated in the crushing process to enter the subsequent process at the same time as the materials after being ground in the Raymond mill and cannot be effectively separated, making the production and purification of the subsequent process very difficult. The carbon powder enters the subsequent recycling process, which increases the processing load of the recycling process, and at the same time makes it impossible to effectively recycle the carbon powder, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0017] Working process:

[0018] S1: The carbon-containing hazardous waste ton bags are transported to the crushing workshop and then transferred to the bin of the vibrating feeder 1 by a forklift for a second time. The vibrating feeder 1 feeds the material to the jaw crusher 2 in a vibrating manner. The lumpy raw material is roughly crushed by the jaw crusher 2 to 30 - 60 mm.

[0019] S2: The roughly crushed slag is transported to the cone crusher 3 by a belt conveyor for medium crushing to 10 - 20 mm. During this process, the elemental iron exposed after medium crushing is selected by the first iron remover 4.

[0020] S3: The slag after medium crushing is sent to the first screening machine for secondary screening of elemental aluminum and elemental iron. The oversize materials are sent to the manual sorting platform 6, and the elemental iron and elemental aluminum are sorted out manually. The remaining materials are sent back to the cone crusher 3 for re-crushing. The undersize materials are sent to the buffer bin.

[0021] S4: The materials in the buffer bin 7 are sent to the dry ball mill 8 for final fine grinding. The qualified powder with a final particle size of 160 mesh and a 90% sieve passing rate is sent to the powder bin 14 for temporary storage.

[0022] S5: The powder sent out from the powder bin 14 is further sorted out of the elemental iron by the second iron remover 13. The powder is then sent to the powder separator 9 for powder selection. The light powder that meets the requirements with a particle size of 160 mesh and a sieve passing rate of over 95% is sent to the finished product bin 10 for storage. The heavy particulate matter that does not meet the requirements is sent to the second screening machine 11 for re-selection.

[0023] S6: The oversize materials of the second screening machine 11 are mainly elemental aluminum and are stored separately in the elemental aluminum bin. The undersize materials of the second screening machine 11 are sent back to the buffer bin 7 and then re-ground.

[0024] S7: The powder stored in the finished product bin 10 is fed into the flotation machine 15 for flotation. Since the quality of carbon powder and waste cryolite is different, they are discharged from different flotation outlets.

[0025] S8: The carbon powder discharged from the flotation machine 15 is first fed into the acid oxidation leaching tank 16, and hydrochloric acid is added to leach the lithium therein. Then, it is filtered by the first filter press 17. The wet carbon powder filtered out is discharged through the carbon powder product discharge pipe 18, and the acidic lithium solution filtered out can be processed through the subsequent system for recovery;

[0026] S9: The flotation liquid discharged from the overflow weir of the flotation machine 15 is fed into the hydrogen peroxide oxidation tank 20 for oxidation to obtain non-toxic water, which is sent back to the flotation machine 15 for reuse;

[0027] S10: The waste cryolite discharged from the flotation machine 15 is discharged through the recovery material pipe 19 to the recovery system for recovery treatment.
