Description

METHOD FOR TREATING CR-CONTAINING PICKLING SLUDGE IN SLAG BATH TECHNICAL FIELD
[01] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of metallurgical engineering, and in particular, to a method for treating chromium (Cr)-containing pickling sludge in a slag bath.
BACKGROUNDART
[02] Pickling sludge, also known as sludge from the treatment of pickling waste water, is a solid waste generated from the treatment of pickling waste water discharged during a metal surface treatment process. At present, centralized treatment of the pickling waste water can hardly be realized. Most of the pickling waste water are treated by the enterprise which generates the pickling waste water using a cheap and easy lime neutralization-precipitation method. Due to poor precipitation effect of the lime on heavy metals, a large amount of lime would be enveloped by other flocs and sink into the sludge before reacting during reaction, thus resulting in a large amount of sludge. Moreover, the pickling sludge may contain a large amount of heavy metals (e.g., nickel, chromium and iron) and reacted acids that are not precipitated and removed effectively. Thus, if the pickling sludge is dumped arbitrarily or landfilled simply, a severe environmental pollution problem will be caused. The current treatment methods of the pickling sludge in China mainly include stacking and simple landfilling. Such treatment methods would cause severe pollution to the environment and heavy metals left in the sludge would cause waste of resources.
[03] In 2018, the pickling sludge from the production of stainless steel was explicitly put into the list of hazardous solid wastes by China and not allowed to leave factories. In China, the annual output of stainless steel is approximately 40 million tons and about one million ton of Cr-containing pickling sludge needs to be disposed in each year. Therefore, it is imperative to realize on-line treatment of the Cr-containing pickling sludge and achieve emission reduction at source. In related treatment techniques, wet treatment and material production from solid wastes are basically infeasible under the current policies. Moreover, because of multi-stage recovery of heavy metal elements and SO42- from sludge, the wet treatment is complex in process and high in cost and thus not recommended. When the Cr-containing pickling sludge is used as the raw material to produce ceramics, glass ceramics, etc., there may be potential safety hazards due to excessively low addition amount and limited consumption amount of the sludge, and difficultly accurate control of Cr leaching behavior under current conditions.
SUMMARY
[04] An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a method for treating Cr-containing pickling sludge in a slag bath to solve the problems of secondary pollution caused by sulfur in the Cr-containing pickling sludge and difficult recovery of heavy metal chromium.
[05] To solve the mentioned technical problems, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution.
[06] A method for treating chromium (Cr)-containing pickling sludge in a slag bath includes the following steps:
[07] (1) adding a reducing agent, lime and a fluxing agent to the Cr-containing pickling sludge and fully mixing;
[08] (2) pelletizing the mixture by using a pelletizer and drying at a certain temperature, thereby obtaining Cr-containing pickling sludge pellets for treatment in a slag bath;
[09] (3) putting the dried sludge pellets from step (2) into high-temperature metallurgical slag for a slag bath reaction; and
[10] (4) subjecting cooled slag to crushing, screening and magnetic separation, thus separating out metal particles.
[11] Preferably, the pickling sludge may include sludge generated from lime neutralization and drying of a waste liquid from product washing using sulfuric acid during the production of a stainless steel enterprise.
[12] Further preferably, the sludge may include the following components: 25% to 35% of Fe203, 3% to 5% of SiO2, 55% to 65% of CaSO 4 , and 2% to 6% of Cr203.
[13] Further preferably, the reducing agent used in step (1) may be a carbonaceous reducing agent.
[14] Further preferably, the fluxing agent used in step (1) may be boric oxide.
[15] Further preferably, a mass ratio of the reducing agent, the lime, the sludge and the fluxing agent in step (1) may be (16% to 2 2 %):( 7 % to 9%):( 7 1% to 7 6 %):(1% to 3%).
[16] Further preferably, the drying in step (2) may be conducted at a temperature ranging from 780 to 800°C for 50 to 60 minutes.
[17] Further preferably, the metallurgical slag in step (3) may be one or more from the group consisting of argon oxygen decarburisation (AOD) slag, electric arc furnace (EAF) slag and converter slag.
[18] Further preferably, the carbonaceous reducing agent and ferrosilicon powder may be injected into the slag before the carbon-containing pickling sludge pellets are put into the slag in step (3), where a mass ratio of the slag, the carbonaceous reducing agent and the ferrosilicon powder may be 99%:(0.8% to 0.9%):(0.1% to 0.2%).
[19] Further preferably, a mass ratio of the sludge pellets to the high-temperature metallurgical slag in step (3) may be 3% to 10%.
[20] Further preferably, the treatment in the slag bath in step (3) may be conducted at a temperature not below 1550°C for 10 to 20 minutes.
[21] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: the present disclosure develops a technique for treating Cr-containing pickling sludge in a slag bath, which is intended to treat Cr-containing pickling sludge type hazardous wastes in a slag bath of solid wastes generated from another unit of a long process. Thorough reduction and detoxification of the Cr-containing pickling sludge are achieved so that most of sulfur in the sludge is immobilized in the slag phase. No secondary pollution is caused during the process and valuable metal elements in the slag and the sludge can be reduced, separated and recovered simultaneously. Moreover, high-temperature sensible heat of the metallurgical slag is fully utilized and the utilization of both energy and mass is achieved. As a result, emission reduction at source of Cr-containing pickling sludge type hazardous wastes is realized. The treatment method provided in the present disclosure is simple to operate and can be implemented during a steelmaking process without secondary emission. Thus, online recycling and emission reduction at source of the Cr-containing pickling sludge are actually realized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[28] The following describes the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure in more detail to make the advantages and features of the present disclosure more readily understood by those skilled in the art and further to define the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[29] The operation of the treatment method provided in the present disclosure is as shown in FIG. 2, where during the slag dumping after the steelmaking process (converter or AOD furnace, etc.) is ended, the sludge pellets 1 prepared according to requirements are put into a slag ladle 4 together with slag 3 after being subjected to drying 2. Under the favorable dynamic condition created by scouring of the high-temperature slag, a carbonaceous reducing agent, lime, etc. in the sludge pellets undergo a self-reduction reaction with the Cr-containing pickling sludge first, and the pellets are then dissolved in the slag. Excessive C may in turn reduce metal oxides in the slag. All the metals generated may be integrated. Besides, such elements as sulfur may enter the slag phase and exist stably. Cooled slag may be subjected to crushing/screening/magnetic separation by using a crusher 5 so that the slag 6 and the metal particles 7 are separated out.
[30] Example 1:
[31] (1) A reducing agent graphite powder and lime were added to Cr-containing pickling sludge and fully mixed, where a mass ratio of the graphite powder, the lime and the pickling sludge was 22%:7%:71%.
[32] (2) The mixture was pelletized by using a pelletizer and dried at 800°C for 50 minutes into Cr-containing pickling sludge pellets for treatment in a slag bath.
[33] (3) AOD slag was fully mixed with a carbonaceous reducing agent and ferrosilicon powder in a mass ratio of 9 8 .9 %:0. 8 5 %:0. 2 5 %. The mixture was heated at 1550°C to melt and this temperature was kept constant for 20 minutes. The dried sludge pellets from step (2) were put into the AOD slag for a slag bath reaction at 1550°C for 15 minutes, where a mass ratio of the sludge pellets to the AOD slag was 3%.
[34] (4) Cooled slag was subjected to crushing, screening and magnetic separation so that metal particles were separated out.
[35] Example 2
[36] (1) A reducing agent graphite powder, a fluxing agent and lime were added to Cr-containing pickling sludge and fully mixed, where a mass ratio of the graphite powder, the lime and the pickling sludge was 18%:7%:72%.
[37] (2) The mixture was pelletized by using a pelletizer and dried at 780°C for 60 minutes into Cr-containing pickling sludge pellets for treatment in a slag bath.
[38] (3) AOD slag was heated at 1550°C to melt and this temperature was kept constant for 20 minutes. The dried sludge pellets from step (2) were put into the AOD slag for a slag bath reaction at 1550°C for 20 minutes, where a mass ratio of the sludge pellets to the AOD slag was 5%.
[39] (4) Cooled slag was subjected to crushing, screening and magnetic separation so that metal particles were separated out. FIG. 3 illustrates the slag and the metal particles separated out.
[40] Example 3
[41] (1) A reducing agent graphite powder and lime were added to Cr-containing pickling sludge and fully mixed, where a mass ratio of the graphite powder, the lime and the pickling sludge was 16%:7%:7 7 %.
[42] (2) The mixture was pelletized by using a pelletizer and dried at 800°C for 50 minutes into Cr-containing pickling sludge pellets for treatment in a slag bath.
[43] (3) Converter slag was heated at 1600°C to melt and this temperature was kept constant for minutes. The dried sludge pellets from step (2) were put into the converter slag for a slag bath reaction at 1600°C for 15 minutes, where a mass ratio of the sludge pellets to the converter slag was %.
[44] (4) Cooled slag was subjected to crushing, screening and magnetic separation so that metal particles were separated out.
[45] Example 4
[46] Slag samples from example 1 and example 2 were crushed, respectively. After metal particles were absorbed by using a magnet, the slag samples were measured on S content and SEM images thereof were observed, and metal samples were measured on Fe/Cr content. Results shown that as shown by SEM microstructures of the slag samples, sulfur were mainly present stably in the form of dendritic CaS crystals, and a large amount of melilite were generated in the slag. In example 1, more than 94% of sulfur was present stably in the slag phase, while more than 95% of valuable elements such as Fe and Cr were recovered in the form of metal particles. In example 2, more than 99% of sulfur was present stably in the slag phase, while more than 90% of valuable elements such as Fe and Cr were recovered in the form of metal particles. A gas released during the treatment of the Cr-containing pickling sludge in the slag bath in example 2 was collected and the components of the gas were analyzed. FIG. 4 shows the mass spectrum of the components of the released gas. As can be seen from the figure, the released gas is a mixture of Ar, CO/N 2 , C02 and S02.
[47] As can be seen from FIG. 5, most of released S02 was from air and a small part of S02 was released during the treatment of the Cr-containing pickling sludge in the slag bath. It was shown that the sulfur element was fully immobilized in the slag phase.
[48] The examples described above are only intended to describe the preferred examples of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Various modifications and improvements performed on the technical solution of the present disclosure by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the design spirit of the present disclosure should fall within the protection scope as defined by the claims of the present disclosure.
