Abstract

The present invention discloses a new process and method of combined desulfurization and resource utilization of red mud and lime. Red mud and lime are proportionally mixed to be slurry and put into the first desulfurization tower circulation tank. The key to the first stage of desulfurization is that an amount of the lime added meets the full causticization of sodium and alkali in red mud, and then enter the supernatant NaOH after desulfurization into the second desulfurization tower circulation tank. In the second desulfurization tower circulation tank soda in the supernatant from the first circulation tank is mixed with the lime added for the second time to be slurry, generating Na 2 SO4 during the circulation process, which reacts with the excess lime to generate NaOH again. The desulfurization process keeps going on. Initial desulfurization of flue gases and removal of sodium and alkali in red mud are achieved in the first stage of the new process. Solid waste after desulfurization can be used for soil or building materials. In the second stage of the new process, the deep desulfurization of the flue gases realizes the ultra-low emission of sulfur dioxide, and the solid waste after the secondary desulfurization is a by-product gypsum with high purity. The present invention realizes the simultaneous resource utilization of the S0 2-containing flue gases and the bulk solid waste red mud, which conforms to the strategic demand of national environmental governance, and is a new economic, environmental and low-carbon process of pollution control. 1/1 Discharging within controlling index of national standards EL M NaOH so, - NaOH Utilization of desulfurized red mud Figure 1

Technical field
The invention relates to a novel process and method of combined
desulfurization and resource utilization of red mud and lime, which
belongs to the environmental protection field of coupling and resource
utilization of bulk solid waste and sulfur-containing waste gases.
Technology Background
Red mud is a highly alkaline industrial solid waste discharged in
aluminum industries when extracting alumina, and a pH value of red
mud is about 10-12. Generally, 1.0-2.0 tons of red mud is produced per
ton of alumina production. As a major producer of alumina, China emits
millions of tons of red mud every year. In addition to a small part of the
red mud used for building materials and other purposes, most of the red
mud is stored in open dams in a wet condition. The waste liquid of red
mud with high alkalinity and salinity causes salinization of surrounding
soil and deterioration of ecological environment. At the same time, SO 2
is one of the main atmospheric pollutants in China at present, and a
main precursor of environmental acidification. The annual loss due to
major environmental problems such as acid rain caused by SO 2 emission is hundreds of billions of dollars, which has brought great harm to the human survival environment. Therefore, it is urgent to control SO 2 environmental pollution in a low-cost and low-carbon way.
The process of alumina production determines that the red mud
contains a large number of effective sulfur-fixing components, such as
CaO, MgO and Na 20. Coupling red mud and lime not only has good
desulfurization effect, but also can remove alkali from the red mud and
yield by-products of high-precision gypsum, realizing the synchronous
utilization of flue gas containingSO2 and the bulk of solid waste red mud,
which is in line with the social goal of reducing pollution and lowering
carbon in China.
Although the existing lime-gypsum desulfurization method has high
efficiency, it consumes mineral resources and brings secondary pollution
such as solid wastes. Although the existing slurry desulfurization is low in
cost, the resource utilization of slurry or slag afterdesulfurization is
often not considered. Under the background of urgent carbon neutrality
goals, there is a need for a newdesulfurization process that treats gas
and solid waste together and helps reduce pollution and lower carbon.
Summary of the invention
A purpose of the invention is to provide a new process and a new
method of combined desulfurization and resource utilization of red mud and lime, aiming at the deficiency of the current desulfurization processes using only red mud slurry and high cost of limedesulfurization, specifically in a following manner:
(1) adopting two-stage desulfurization design, wherein in stage one,
realizing preliminary desulfurization of red mud coupled with
red mud de-alkalization, and in stage two realizing deep
desulfurization of the red mud and coupling to produce
high-purity desulfurization gypsum; under a condition that a
concentrationof SO2 in inlet flue gases is less than 3000mg/m 3
, by the two-stage desulfurization process requirements of
ultra-low emissionof SO 2 (SO2 is less than 50mg/m 3 ) is met.
(2) Solid waste red mud produced by various alumina production
processes and lime produced in general mines are used for
desulfurization; a purity of the lime shall be above 85 %. The
chemical reactions involved in the present invention are:
2Al 20 3 +9SO2-> 2Al2 (S0 4 ) 3 +3S
CaO+2SO2+ H20-> 2CaSO *12H20
2CaO- SiO2+SO2-> 2CaSO 3 +SiO2
Ca(OH)2+SO2-> CaS0 3 + H20
CaSO 3 +1202-> CaSO 4
Na20+SO2-> Na2SO3
SO2+ H20 -> H2SO3
2Fe2O3+ 4H2SO3+02 -> 4FeSO 4 + 4H 2 0
Ca(OH)2 + FeSO 4 -> Fe(OH)2 + CaSO 4
4Fe(OH)2 + 2H20 + 02 -> 4Fe(OH)
(1) Requirements for working conditions of a stage-one
desulfurization tower: the liquid-solid volume ratio in the
desulfurization tower is controlled at 7-15:1; a concentration of
inlet flue gases is below 3000mg/m 3; a temperature of the slurry is
40-75°C; pH value of circulating liquids is kept at 7-10; a liquid-gas
ratio in thedesulfurization tower is 10-20:1L/m 3; circulating slurry
in the stage-one desulfurization tower is desulfurized by reverse
contact with SO 2 flue gases, with adesulfurization efficiency
85-95%; in the stage-one desulfurization tower, a key lies in a
molar ratio of 1-1.2:1 of the lime added and Na 2 SO 4 formed by
desulfurizing red mud, so as to ensure synchronous realization of
desulfurization and de-alkalinity of red mud.
(2) Requirements for operating conditions of the stage-two
desulfurization tower: the liquid-solid volume ratio in the
desulfurization tower shall be controlled at 20-30:1; a
concentration of inlet flue gases should be below 500mg/m 3 ; a
slurry temperature shall be 40-60°C; a pH value of circulating
liquid should be maintained at 4-6; and a liquid-gas ratio in the
desulfurization tower should be 8-15:1 L/m 3 ; the circulating slurry in the stage-two desulfurization tower is desulfurized by reverse contact with SO 2 flue gases, and thedesulfurization efficiency is more than 90%; a key point in the stage-twodesulfurization tower is that purity of the lime added is consistent with purity of gypsum to meet requirement of caustification and desulfurization and ensure synchronous realization of both desulfurization effects and producing by-product high purity gypsum.
(3) A new two-stage deep desulfurization process through coupling
red mud and lime can realize the ultra-low emission of flue gases
containingSO2, and the content of sodium alkali in red mud after
desulfurization is less than 0.1%, which meets the requirements of
sintered brick and soil formation and the by-product high-purity
gypsum (purity is greater than 95%), meets the requirements of
raw materials for gypsum building materials.
The beneficial effects of the present invention: the present
invention makes full use of the active sodium alkali and solid alkali in the
red mud to realize the preliminary desulfurization of flue gases, which
meets national demands of solid waste resource utilization and carbon
emission reduction; according to the transformation of alkalinity in the
process of red mud desulfurization, an intermediate medium of lime is
skillfully introduced to solve the bottleneck that the existence of active
alkali constrains the large-scale utilization of red mud. The present invention adopts a new process of two-stage reverse contact desulfurization. The first stage is preliminary desulfurization with a high solid-liquid ratio of the mixed slurry, and the second stage is deep desulfurization with a low solid-liquid ratio. The two-stage desulfurization successfully addressed requirements of the two resource utilization of removing alkali from the red mud and increasing the purity of gypsum on the process, and truly realizes the total utilization of red mud, which is conducive to realization of the goal of carbon neutrality in
2060.
