Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum and the field of environmental protection, in particular to electrolytic aluminum overhaul residues, a method for recycling an overhaul residue leaching solution and an application method of a recycled material.

Background

The electrolytic cell is a key production device in the electrolytic aluminum industry, after the electrolytic cell is used for a period of time (generally about 5 years), due to year-round high temperature, scouring and corrosion of aluminum liquid, the problems of leakage, capacity reduction, power consumption increase and the like of the electrolytic cell can occur, and under the condition, the electrolytic cell is usually dismantled and rebuilt, and the dismantled waste material of the electrolytic cell is generally called overhaul slag.

The electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag generally mainly comprises two parts of materials: namely an electrolytic bath heat insulating material or heat insulating material (an external wall heat insulating brick of an electrolytic bath, a refractory material) and a waste cathode carbon block.

The electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag is rich in highly toxic cyanide and fluoride, and the cyanide and the fluoride are easily dissolved in water and easily cause irreversible pollution to underground water sources, so that the living environment and the life health of human beings are endangered. Therefore, the Ministry of environmental protection is in the Ministry of national hazardous waste record of overhaul of electrolytic cell in 2016.

According to the requirements of environmental protection departments, substances in dangerous waste catalogues need to be subjected to harmless treatment to enter a garbage site, and electrolytic aluminum overhaul residues are treated in a landfill mode in the electrolytic aluminum industry of China without exception until the electrolytic aluminum overhaul residues are listed in the dangerous waste list from the country.

The electrolytic aluminum production capacity major countries such as the United states and Canada internationally also basically adopt a landfill method, in the last 90 th century, the Canada aluminum industry has published a patent of treating electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag by a circulating fluidized bed combustion method, and the foreign fire overhaul slag innocent technology, CA2084710A1, OTTAWA, Canada, (published date 19930725) has published a harmless technology method of overhaul slag, the overhaul slag is placed in a secondary circulating fluidized bed, mixed calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate are added, 6-10% of oxygen is introduced to carry out high-temperature combustion to decompose cyanide, and the harmless temperature is 650-900 ℃. A harmless scheme for enabling fluoride and calcium sulfate to generate calcium fluoride. However, the process involves secondary pollution, has higher requirements on equipment materials and sealing performance, and has higher cost and running cost of test lines introduced in China. Is difficult to be popularized and used.

The 2005 "a method for innocent treatment of electrolytic cell waste cathode carbon block" of aluminum industry this patent is the innocent process of the waste cathode part (excluding the refractory material part) in the electrolytic cell, its characteristic is to roast the cathode carbon block, then carry on the wet process, the method regards waste cathode carbon block as raw materials, regard industrial waste fly ash rich in silica dioxide and alumina as the reaction dispersant, after roasting treatment, reuse sulfuric acid and limestone to process at room temperature, the final product is aluminium fluoride, calcium fluoride, silica, alumina supplies and sodium hydroxide solution, make the waste cathode carbon block totally innocent and reclaim fluoride salt in the waste cathode. The process flow is complicated, the cathode carbon powder is burnt, the residual electrolyte is repeatedly treated by acid and alkali, and the process has no availability and can only be used as a subject in a laboratory in academia.

In 2007, the Chinese aluminum industry discloses CN101054693A a method for extracting electrolyte from cathode carbon blocks of an electrolytic cell, the patent adds 1-40% of organic tackifier into crushed ground powder of waste cathodes, uniformly stirs the mixture, presses the mixture into blocks with a certain shape, adds the blocks into a high-temperature furnace, and carries out high-temperature roasting for 4-6 hours at the temperature of 700-900 ℃, more than 97% of roasted clinker is electrolyte component and contains a small amount of ferric oxide, the crushed powder is directly returned to the electrolytic cell for use, and the waste cathode carbon blocks can be completely innoxious after treatment.

However, according to the industrial reaction, the electrolyte is mixed with impurities, the furnace temperature and the power consumption are affected, the recycled electrolyte cannot be used, the treatment process has secondary pollution and consumes excessive energy, and the method cannot be popularized and applied.

In 2008, the inventor reports a harmless treatment and recovery process of cyanide and fluoride in CN200810231562.1 solid waste residue, and firstly proposes a harmless opportunity process of electrolytic bath overhaul residue or solid containing cyanide and fluoride under normal temperature and pressure, which is characterized in that the overhaul residue of the electrolytic bath containing cyanide and fluoride, a calcium magnesium sodium compound capable of separating hypochlorous acid in water, and water-soluble calcium, magnesium and aluminum salt are added with water for ball milling pulping, so that cyanide is decomposed in a liquid phase of the ball milling pulping, calcium magnesium aluminum ions released by the water-soluble calcium magnesium aluminum salt and fluoride ions in the liquid phase generate water-insoluble calcium fluoride, magnesium fluoride and aluminum fluoride precipitates, and neutral water is separated from slurry after solid-liquid separation, thereby achieving the aim of harmless treatment.

The proposal is a harmless process different from western fire method by the industry and is a Chinese wet process, in order to reduce the production cost, in actual industrial development, the method improves the method that calcium hypochlorite is used for decomposing cyanide into nitrogen and carbon dioxide, calcium hydroxide is added to remove the cyanide at the earlier stage and calcium ions of the calcium hypochlorite are used together with waste hydrochloric acid or byproduct hydrochloric acid to enable the calcium ions to generate soluble calcium chloride, soluble calcium ions and fluoride ions generate calcium fluoride precipitate to achieve harmless effect, the first 2000 tons/year computer program-controlled electrolytic aluminum overhaul residue harmless process of China in 2010 is formed, and put into production in Zhongfu aluminum industry consolidated in Henan province, and in 2013, a program-controlled and manual-controlled electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag harmless process is reported in CN201310210403, and the complete equipment is disclosed, and then the method is rapidly put into production in six electrolytic aluminum enterprises such as Luoyang Wanji, Shenhuo aluminum industry, Shanghai Xiang, Jiaozuofang Wanfang and the like in Henan province. Thereby being popularized to most of the domestic electrolytic aluminum industries for use.

However, the technology has the defects that even a certain amount of capital is invested in the electrolytic aluminum industry every year, the harmless operation cost of each ton is about 640 yuan/ton, tens of thousands of tons of overhaul residues are accumulated in many enterprises, the accumulated treatment cost is huge, although the cost is much lower than that of 3000-, in addition, although the harmless technology is popular and accepted by the vast enterprises, the hidden danger still exists in the aspect of environmental protection technology, for example, after the harmless technology is harmless, in both the acid method and the so-called acid-free method, the treated overhaul residues contain a large amount of sodium chloride, the used liquid is also rich in chloride ions, and the waste residues containing the chloride ions are less harmful to the plant environment, but the harm of the waste residues is slight. The method is used for inquiring internet news, which international advanced level of the world advanced level, but inquiring a patent library of the national intellectual property office to recycle the electrolytic aluminum overhaul residues, the electrolytic cell waste cathodes, the electrolytic aluminum waste cell linings and the electrolytic aluminum waste cathode electrolytes as keywords, and searching and inquiring related patents do not appear yet.

China is a big country for electrolytic aluminum production, according to the statistics of Antai science, the total electrolytic aluminum yield in China is 4115.5 ten thousand tons/year by 6 months in 2020, and the yield is increased by 3 percent on year-by-year basis. The operating capacity is 3691.4 ten thousand tons/year, calculated according to 6000 tons of overhaul slag output per 20 ten thousand tons of capacity, and is generated by 110 and 74 ten thousand tons of overhaul slag, and the quantity of the overhaul slag is not included. Therefore, the method only meets the condition that the electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag is harmless and the reduction is not enough, the waste of the daily capital is calculated according to the 640 yuan processing cost, and how to recycle and increase the total amount of the electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag is realized, so that enterprises can pay the benefits to the environment protection and earn the money, and the aim of changing the recycling and value-increasing situation of the electrolytic aluminum overhaul slag in China is achieved.

Compared with the treatment of the cathode carbon block, the heat insulating material of the electrolytic aluminum overhaul residue can be prepared by only adding clean water without adding a sodium hydroxide solution into the leaching tank except the leaching step. The other steps are the same as the processing steps of the cathode carbon block.

Description of the drawings: in the invention, inert gas such as nitrogen is adopted to protect the leaching tank in the leaching process, because some aluminum blocks are inevitably mixed in the overhaul slag, hydrolysis reaction is generated when the overhaul slag enters the leaching process after powder preparation, aluminum hydroxide is generated and hydrogen is released at the same time, the explosion limit of the hydrogen in the air is 4-75%, and in order to prevent gas explosion (the phenomenon of explosion of the reaction tank occurs in the overhaul slag innocent wet process), the inert gas is adopted to fill the space of the leaching tank for prevention. Because the molecular sieve oxygen generating unit is matched with high-voltage discharge to prepare ozone for removing cyanogen, the nitrogen discharged by molecular sieve oxygen generation is just used for explosion-proof protection.

Leaching and time: the leaching time depends on the particle size of the powder, the inlet and outlet temperature, the solid-liquid ratio and the stirring efficiency. The smaller the granularity is, the higher the leaching temperature is, the larger the solid-liquid ratio is, the higher the stirring efficiency is, and the faster the leaching speed is. The leaching time of the overhaul slag heat preservation material is generally 30 minutes. The components in the waste cathode carbon powder are complex, the components comprise aluminum powder, a small amount of aluminum nitride and the like besides electrolyte, the leaching process is accompanied with the hydrolysis reaction process, the time is different according to the factors such as the granularity, the solid-liquid ratio, the temperature, the stirring efficiency and the like, and generally about 120 minutes.

The crushing and powder preparation of the heat insulating material of the electrolytic aluminum overhaul residue and the waste cathode carbon block can be carried out synchronously in two processing lines or respectively on one production line, for example, two sets of powder preparation and leaching equipment are adopted, and leachate is combined to share the back end of the recovered sodium hexafluoroaluminate, and the leachate of barium sulfate and sodium hydroxide is precipitated. Or the recycling of cathode carbon block powder can be firstly processed on one set of equipment for a period of time, the block bin is cleaned up for another period of time, and the recycling of the overhaul slag heat-insulating material is processed after the powder bin is neutralized by the powder making machine. So as to avoid confusion of two materials, which causes disorder of different application directions of the subsequent cathode carbon block powder and the heat insulation material.

Example 5

Preparation of the experiment

And continuously and slowly pouring 1000 ml of deionized water into the filter cup, washing the filter residue obtained after vacuum filtration in situ under the suction filtration state, and placing the washing liquid into another container for later use to serve as a primary washing liquid.

Second washing

And taking 1000 ml of deionized water to wash the filter residue after the primary washing in situ, and pouring the washing liquid in the filter flask into a third container for later use as secondary washing liquid.

The pH of the leachate was 11, the pH of the primary wash was 9, and the pH of the secondary wash was 8, respectively.

Taking 1 ml of the leaching solution and each washing solution by using a pipettor, adding 10 ml of buffer solution, respectively fixing the volume (diluting by 100 times) on a 100ml volumetric flask marked line, pouring the solution into a small beaker, placing the small beaker on an electromagnetic stirrer, placing a fluorine ion electrode and a reference electrode into the beaker solution together, and measuring that the fluorine ion concentration data of the leaching solution is 72 mg/L, namely the fluorine content is: 72 × 100=7200mg/L, leachate pH 11.

And (3) taking 1 ml of primary washing solution, adding 10 ml of buffer solution into a 100-volume flask, adding deionized water to the marked line, shaking, uniformly mixing, pouring into a small beaker, and placing the beaker in a fluorimeter to obtain the detection data of 11.7 mg/L.

I.e. 11.7 × 100=1170mg/L, pH 9.

Secondary wash 8 × 100=800mg/L, pH 8.

And drying the washed filter residue to obtain 60.1 g of overhaul residue heat preservation material.

Note: the electrodes must be washed in deionized water with agitation until the reading in the cup is 0.1 for each measurement.

850 ml of the leaching solution, 1000 ml of the primary washing solution and 1000 ml of the secondary washing solution are combined. 96 g of aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate is added, and a large amount of white precipitate appears.

10 ml of the mixed solution is put into a centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes, 2 ml of supernatant is extracted by a pipette, 10 ml of buffer solution is added, the mixture is diluted by 100 times, and the fluorine ion concentration value is detected to be 2.7 mg/L, namely 2.7X 50=135 mg/L.

Adding 20 ml of aluminum sulfate saturated solution, stirring for a while, taking 2 ml of supernatant again to dilute 50, and measuring the data that the concentration value of the fluorine ion is 1.8X 25=45 mg/L.

And (3) filtering the white mixed solution generated after the aluminum sulfate is added to perform liquid-solid separation, and continuously adding 2 times of clear water into a filter cup to wash filter residues.

Finally, when a saturated solution of barium hydroxide is dropped into the sample solution, a white precipitate does not appear any more, and the sample solution remains clear and transparent, which means that the solution is a mixed solution of sodium hydroxide and barium hydroxide and does not contain sulfate (sodium sulfate).

Filtering the mixed solution, washing to obtain precipitated barium sulfate, and drying by microwave to obtain 160 g of precipitated barium sulfate, wherein the residual liquid has the pH value of 12 and is a sodium hydroxide solution.

It should be noted that: because the solution of barium hydroxide and sodium sulfate tends to be strong alkaline, the phenomenon that barium hydroxide powder is excessive and insoluble can occur,

at this time, no white precipitate appears when the sample liquid supernatant is added into the barium hydroxide saturated solution, but undissolved barium hydroxide solid appears at the bottom, so that on one hand, the barium hydroxide may absorb carbon dioxide in the air, and partially convert into water-insoluble barium carbonate, and a supersaturated insolubilization phenomenon may also exist.

Ideally, barium hydroxide is pre-dissolved in a saturated solution to control the formation of a weak precipitate in the supernatant. Namely, a small amount of sodium sulfate solution is remained in the final liquid phase, and trace sulfate radicals are removed by the process of washing precipitated calcium sulfate by clear water.

4. Cathode carbon powder resource

100 g of carbon powder (Nemeng Huohu coal hong Jun aluminum works) is weighed into a polyethylene measuring cup, a magnetic stirrer is put into the polyethylene measuring cup, water is added into the polyethylene measuring cup until the volume is 500 ml, the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes, the pH value is 9, and no bubbles overflow from the water surface.

Sodium hydroxide 20 g was added

Stirring is continued for 15 minutes, bubbles overflow (aluminum powder is hydrolyzed to generate hydrogen gas) immediately, the water temperature rises to about 60 ℃ (when 60 g of 1.5mol of sodium hydroxide is added at one time, the temperature is about 80 ℃), when no foam is generated (when the hydrogen gas is released), 40 g of sodium hydroxide is added, the temperature is 75 ℃, and no bubbles overflow.

And (3) detecting the leachate, the primary washing solution, the secondary washing solution and the tertiary washing solution after being diluted by 100 times: the fluoride ion concentration of the leaching solution is 166.2 x 100=16620mg/L, and the pH value is 14; primary wash 40 × 100=4000mg/l, pH 11; secondary washing liquid: 6.5 x 100=650mg/l. pH 9; three washes 2.9 × 100=290 mg/L; re-testing the leaching solution: 167.3 × 100=16730mg/L pH 14; the concentration of the washing solution was determined again at 41.6 × 100=4160mg/L, pH 11; the concentration of the secondary wash was determined in duplicate at 6.3X 100=630mg/L, pH 9.

(1) Addition amount of aluminum sulfate

Taking 50 ml of leachate, having pH of 14, adding 50 ml of saturated aluminum sulfate solution, allowing white precipitate to appear, standing and aging for 15 minutes, and concentrating the precipitate, wherein the pH of the solution is 7.

(2) Taking 15 ml of the leaching solution, 15 ml of each of the primary washing solution and the secondary washing solution, uniformly mixing, and taking 1 ml of the mixture to detect 64.3 × 100=6430 mg/L.

Adding 15 ml of saturated solution of aluminum sulfate, allowing white precipitate to appear, standing and aging for 15 minutes, concentrating the precipitate, and adjusting the pH value of the solution to 6.

Taking 1 ml of supernatant after standing and precipitating, diluting by 50 times, detecting, and determining the fluorine content to be 30.4mg/L, namely the residual fluorine concentration of the liquid phase after reaction is 30.4X 50=1520mg/L and accounts for 23.6 percent of the total fluorine.

And adding 5 ml of aluminum sulfate saturated solution again, stirring and standing, and detecting with pH of 5.

Taking 1 ml of supernatant, adding buffer solution, fixing volume to a marked line (diluting by 50 times), and detecting that the fluorine ion concentration is 25.4 mg/L, namely 25.4X 50=1270 mg/L.

Adding a small amount of sodium hydroxide solution, standing, taking 2 ml of supernatant, diluting by 25 times, detecting that the concentration data of the fluorine ions is 24.9mg/L, namely 24.9 multiplied by 25=622.5 mg/L, and judging that the sodium ions in the liquid phase are insufficient and sodium hexafluoroaluminate cannot be formed as the result of reducing 1270 in the solution to 622.5.

Usually, the pH of the sodium sulfate solution is 7, and the pH of the cryolite slightly soluble in water is acidic, so that the reaction control point is preferably pH7. Thereby facilitating the next regulation and control of barium hydroxide.

Mixing the leachate, the first washing solution and the second washing solution, sequentially adding 141 g of aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate powder, stirring the medium-thick white precipitate, adjusting the pH of the solution to 7, stirring the solution for reaction for 30 minutes, filtering and separating the solution, washing the cryolite twice with clear water, mixing the washing solution and the separating solution, recovering 3500 ml of filtrate (sodium sulfate), and washing and drying white filter residues to obtain 74.1 g of (cryolite) sodium hexafluoroaluminate.

67 grams of cathode carbon powder was recovered. The carbon content of the recycled cathode carbon powder is high.

Note that: the ideal process for industrial scale production is to leave a small amount of sodium sulfate in the sodium hydroxide solution recovered from the reaction of the sodium sulfate solution and barium hydroxide to avoid the influence of the excessive barium hydroxide mixed with the sodium hydroxide on the electrolyte recovery after the leaching of the rear-stage cathode carbon powder. Of course, it is more elaborate if the progress of the reaction is monitored by a spectrometer.

The experiments completely solve the problems of resource recovery of sodium sulfate solution and utilization of recovered water after preparing cryolite from cathode carbon powder leachate and aluminum sulfate saturated solution, and some patents adopt a process of directly evaporating a leaching agent to crystallize the cryolite.

Example 6

Adding aluminum chloride to recover cryolite

It should be noted that the addition of aluminum chloride (or solution) to the alkaline leachate in the cathode carbon powder can also produce cryolite, but the large amount of generated sodium chloride solution is difficult to be recovered by conversion unless the plant has a chlorine-alkali complete plant for utilization. The addition of the mixture of calcium hydroxide and sodium aluminate can precipitate about 80% of the product, but the direction of utilization of the product is difficult.

Aluminum nitrate can also be used for generating cryolite with leachate, and a sodium nitrate solution is obtained after solid-liquid separation, but the market of aluminum nitrate raw materials is few, so the raw materials are not easy to solve.

Example 7

The leaching reaction time is at least 3 hours.

The components of the cathode carbon block powder after iron removal are as follows: sodium fluoride, sodium hexafluoroaluminate, aluminum oxide, a small amount of sodium aluminum silicate or silicate, graphite carbon powder and high electrolyte content, and particularly shows the detection results of a column of XRD diffractometers of cathode carbon slag of untreated cathode carbon blocks in WLMH20160171A detection reports in fig. 4-6. However, in practice, some aluminum blocks are inevitably mixed in the collected overhaul residues, and hydrolysis reaction is generated when the overhaul residues enter a leaching process after being pulverized, so that hydrogen is released while aluminum hydroxide is generated.

Aluminum hydroxide is an amphoteric oxide insoluble in water, and only sodium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide react.

The reaction of sodium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide is: al (OH)₃+NaOH=NaAlO₂+2H₂O=NaAl(OH)₄

The reaction of cryolite and alkali solution sodium hydroxide is as follows: na (Na)₃AlF₆+4OH=NaAl(OH)₄+NaF+F

In fact, the leachate obtained after the addition of sodium hydroxide is mainly a mixture of sodium fluoride and sodium aluminate, in the above formula, NaAI (OH)₄Is a mixture of sodium aluminate solution and sodium fluoride solution containing two water solutions in an old version of the textbook. The clear and transparent mixed leaching solution of sodium fluoride and sodium aluminate has a strong alkaline pH value of 14.

The filtrate and the washing liquid which are discharged from the filter press are collected into a sodium sulfate storage tank.

In the invention, aluminum sulfate (which is commercially available as aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate) is adopted, and a saturated solution of aluminum sulfate (pH = 2) has strong acidity and the solubility of 36.5 g/100 ml at 20 ℃ and normal temperature.

Reacting aluminum sulfate solution with mixed solution of sodium aluminate solution and sodium fluoride solution

A portion of the aluminum sulfate reacts directly with the sodium fluoride to form cryolite and sodium sulfate: al (Al)₂(SO₄)₃+12NaF==2Na₃AlF₆+3Na₂SO₄；

The other part of aluminum sulfate reacts with the sodium aluminate solution in the solution to generate aluminum hydroxide and sodium sulfate solution: al (Al)₂(SO4)₃+6NaAlO₂+12H₂O=8Al(OH)₃↓+3Na₂SO4；

Further 4AI (OH)₃+6NaF===Na₃AIF₆+3NaAIO₂+6H₂O

Comparative example 1

The experiment in example 7 demonstrates that the mixture of sodium aluminate solution and sodium fluoride solution does not directly produce sodium hexafluoroaluminate, and that sodium fluoride in the solution does not react with carbon dioxide as analyzed by the medium carbonation process cryolite production process.

Sodium aluminate can react with carbon dioxide, i.e. CO₂+2Na[Al(OH)₄]=Na₂CO₃+2Al(OH)₃+H₂O or 2NaAlO₂+CO₂+3H₂O=2Al(OH)₃↓+Na₂CO₃When the carbon dioxide is excessive: NaAlO₂+CO₂+2H₂O=Al(OH)₃↓+NaHCO₃。

From the above reaction formula, it can be found that the effect of introducing carbon dioxide is to lower the pH value of the mixed solution, and Na [ Al (OH) ] in the solution is removed₄Or NaAlO₂Conversion to AI (OH)3, the aluminum ions in the aluminum hydroxide react with fluoride ions to form more stable fluoroaluminate ions: 4AI (OH)₃+6NaF=Na₃AIF₆+3NaAIO₂+6H₂O。

The reaction produces sodium hexafluoroaluminate precipitate and sodium metaaluminate soluble material, i.e. the mixed liquor produces a portion of sodium hexafluoroaluminate precipitate and sodium aluminate solution, the rate of conversion of the mixed liquor sodium fluoride to sodium hexafluoroaluminate is dependent on the introduction of carbon dioxide to convert sodium aluminate to AI (OH)₃The speed of introducing carbon dioxide gas into the strongly alkaline sodium aluminate solution to reduce the pH value is very slow, and the cryolite is produced according to the carbonation method, and cryolite crystal seeds are also added to promote the formation of the cryolite.
