Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of mercury-containing hazardous waste management and safe disposal, relates to a waste mercury catalyst generated in the process of producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by a calcium carbide method through a mechanochemical method, and particularly relates to a method for performing mechanical ball milling harmless treatment on the waste mercury catalyst by taking sulfur as an additive.
Background
The mercuric chloride catalyst is a catalyst for the reaction of acetylene and hydrogen chloride in the industry of producing polyvinyl chloride by a calcium carbide method. The waste mercury catalyst produced by the method has leaching toxicity and corrosivity, and the concentration of leached mercury exceeds the fixation in the nonferrous metal industry solid waste pollution standard. China is the largest calcium carbide PVC producing country in the world, and the data show that the yield of calcium carbide PVC is 1512 ten thousand t in 2013, which accounts for about 82% of the total PVC yield in China. The mercury chloride catalyst used in the method is the product with the maximum production in the industry and the product with the maximum mercury consumption. The production of PVC by calcium carbide method accounts for 60% of the total mercury consumption in China and 30% of the mercury consumption in the world. The amount of waste mercury catalyst generated per year is about 1.1 ten thousand tons, and the generation amount is increased at a speed of 10% -15% per year. In addition, the waste mercury catalyst recycling system in the calcium carbide method PVC industry is imperfect at present, and the recovery amount of mercury is less than 1/3.
The countermeasure suggestion of accelerating the structure adjustment due to the excess of chemical decomposition and productivity in the chlor-alkali industry indicates that a high-industrial catalyst (the mass fraction of mercury chloride is more than 6.5%) and a calcium carbide method PVC production device using the high-industrial catalyst are limited in 2015. With the development of olefin preparation from coal and olefin preparation from methanol, the sources of ethylene are more extensive, and impact can be caused to the production industry of PVC by a calcium carbide method. In addition, the development of mercury-free catalysts will gradually replace mercury chloride catalysts. At that time, a large amount of waste mercury catalysts are generated to cause huge environmental pressure, and great threat is formed to the health and ecological safety of people.
The large inventory of spent mercury catalyst releases a large amount of mercury contaminants in the surrounding environment, which are mainly present in three forms: elemental mercury compounds, inorganic mercury compounds, and organic mercury compounds. Mercury is one of the most toxic compounds, and its toxicity depends mainly on the form in which it exists in the environment. The metal mercury has high vapor pressure, is easily absorbed into human body, enters the vascular system, is rapidly distributed in the human body, and is oxidized into divalent mercury (Hg) with high activity2+). Exposure to high doses of inorganic mercury can damage the human gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, and renal system. Mercury contaminants also form stable organomercury compounds with organics under certain circumstances. Compared with inorganic mercury, the organic mercury has stronger fluidity, biological accumulation and toxicity. In particular, methyl mercury is formed which rapidly passes through the cell membrane, and studies by Clarkson and Lacerda et al indicate that mercury and its compounds impair the development of the infant's nervous system and the adult's general nervous system.
Since mercury has adverse effects on human health and the environment, laws and regulations are made at home and abroad to limit the supply and application of mercury. Therefore, large excess amounts of mercury as well as mercury-containing waste require safe disposal. The national environmental protection ministry of China also requires mercury-related enterprises to treat the wastes harmlessly so as to avoid polluting surrounding atmosphere, water and soil. At present, the main treatment method of the mercury-containing waste comprises the following steps: amalgam, heat treatment, glass curing, soil elution, sulfur polymer stabilization curing, mercury sulfide formation, chemical bonding of phosphor ceramics, and other sequestration processes. At present, the stable solidification method is a recommended method for treating mercury-containing waste and has good treatment effect. These techniques have problems of high cost, complicated technique, incomplete fixation of mercury in the mercury-containing waste, and possibility of secondary pollution.
The ball milling method is also called mechanochemical method, and is characterized by that it utilizes the physical and chemical properties of material and its structure conversion caused by mechanical force, and utilizes the measures of shearing, friction, impact and extrusion to make the condensed material of solid and liquid produce active surface, promote mass transfer and induce chemical reaction. Different from common thermochemical reaction, the mechanochemical reaction has mechanical energy rather than heat energy, so that the reaction can be completed without harsh conditions of high temperature, high pressure and the like. Alopez et al, a spanish scientist, primarily used a mechanical ball milling process to convert metallic mercury into mercury sulfide, thereby achieving the harmless treatment of mercury waste. The literature research shows that no report on the harmless treatment technology of mercuric chloride and waste mercury catalyst exists at present. In view of the huge production amount, low recycling and regeneration utilization rate and serious secondary pollution of the waste mercury catalyst in China, the development of environment-friendly and efficient harmless treatment technology and process for curing and stabilizing the waste mercury catalyst is urgently needed.
