Technical Field

The invention relates to a grinding aid and application thereof.

Background

The building material is an important basic raw material industry supporting the social and economic development, wherein cement and concrete are indispensable basic materials for building engineering and various structures, and the building material has wide application, large consumption, stable performance and durability. Taking cement production as an example, the existing cement production process is 'two-mill one-burning', namely, grinding, calcining and cement finish grinding of raw materials. The devices for grinding are roller presses, vertical mills and ball mills, the energy consumed by the grinding process in the cement production process is very high, and the utilization rate of the energy is very low, so that the energy consumption of cement production per year is very large. In the modern cement industry, the building material grinding aid has become one of the effective measures for improving the grinding output efficiency, reducing the grinding power consumption, improving the cement strength, improving the building material performance and reducing the production cost in the production of cement and the like. Grinding aid is added in the grinding process of the building material, so that powder agglomeration can be prevented, ball wrapping is effectively weakened or prevented, and the grinding efficiency of the building material is improved; the quality of building materials can be improved, and the product grade is improved; can improve the utilization of waste materials such as fly ash, slag and the like, reduce the production cost such as the consumption of building material grinding bodies and the like, and save energy and resources.

Cyclohexanone is a basic raw material for producing nylon, and a large amount of waste water is produced in the production process, and is called 'saponification waste lye' in the industry. The total amount of the wastewater in the country is about 80 ten thousand tons/year (by 50 percent concentration), the COD is high, and the biochemical treatment cannot be directly carried out. The currently widely adopted incineration method has the disadvantages of large investment, large energy consumption, certain environmental influence and resource waste. Therefore, the treatment of the saponified waste lye is a great problem in the current nylon raw material industry.

The cement clinker is a calcined product of a calcareous raw material taking calcium carbonate as a main component, and is used for preparing cement final powder after grinding, wherein the cement final powder is a product obtained by adding or not adding other mixed materials into the cement clinker and then grinding, and is a component for forming cement. The grinding aid of the invention can be used for preparing various grades of cement, for example, can be used for preparing cement end powder with the grade of PO 42.5, PI 42.5 or PC 32.5R cement. The calcareous material may be a material selected from limestone, marl, chalk, shells and corals. Wherein, the main mineral of the limestone is calcite, the pure limestone contains CaO about 56 percent and the loss on ignition is about 44 percent; the marlite is uniformly mixed sedimentary rock formed by simultaneously depositing calcium carbonate and clay, the main mineral of the marlite is calcite, the marlite generally comprises high-calcium marlite and low-calcium marlite, the CaO content of the high-calcium marlite is more than or equal to 45 weight percent, and the CaO content of the low-calcium marlite is less than 45 weight percent; the chalk is a substance formed by stacking marine organism shells and shells, and the main component of the chalk is calcium carbonate with the content of 80-90 percent; the calcium carbonate content of the shell and coral raw materials is about 90 percent.

China is a country with large consumption of building materials, cement is taken as an example, the total yield of the cement reaches 18 hundred million tons in 2011, and about 90 million tons of grinding aids are needed according to the fact that the dosage of the grinding aids accounts for 0.05 weight percent of the cement product.

According to the invention, grinding operation by adding grinding aid can adopt the conventional technical means in the field, for example, grinding for 20-40min by adopting a ball mill.

According to the invention, the process for preparing cyclohexanone by oxidizing cyclohexane has more research and faster development since the industrialization in 1961. According to different catalysts, including cobalt salt catalytic oxidation, boric acid catalytic oxidation, titanium silicalite catalytic oxidation and catalyst-free oxidation, although the technological processes have various characteristics, the basic principle and the reaction flow are the same, and the specific reaction flow can be shown as the following formula:

in the first step, cyclohexane is oxidized with an oxidizing agent (e.g., oxygen) in the presence or absence of a catalyst to form cyclohexyl hydroperoxide. For example, the reaction temperature is 160 ℃, the pressure is about 1.08MPa, 5 kettles are connected in series for reaction for 1h, the conversion rate of cyclohexane is controlled to be about 5 weight percent by contacting with air, and the selectivity of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide is about 95 weight percent.

In the second step, alkali, such as sodium hydroxide solution, is added into the product obtained in the first step, the function of the alkali is to decompose peroxide, and cobalt naphthenate with the weight of 0-10ppm relative to the weight of the reaction liquid can be added to catalyze and promote the decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide according to the process condition, so that cyclohexanone is obtainedAnd cyclohexanolMainly organic phase and aqueous phase saponification waste lye. The saponified waste lye is generally a black liquid or a liquid containing a portion of solids, and has a relative density of generally 1.05 to 1.25 g/ml, and may contain 30 to 90% by weight of water, 0.3 to 5% by weight of sodium hydroxide, salts, organic substances, and the like, based on the weight of the saponified waste lye.

The weight ratio of the saponification waste lye of the cyclohexanone prepared by cyclohexane oxidation and the adjusting additive can be 100: (0-1000), preferably 100: (1-400).

According to the invention, because the saponified waste alkali liquor contains excessive alkali, in order to avoid adverse effects on the construction strength of building materials such as cement and the like and improve the grinding effect, a pH value regulator can be added into the saponified waste alkali liquor to regulate the pH value of the grinding aid, the addition amount of the pH value regulator is not particularly limited, and the pH value of the grinding aid can be regulated to 7-14.

In order to improve the yield of caprolactam and ensure the quality, ammonium sulfate solution is extracted subsequently, and the caprolactam crude product generated by rearrangement is extracted and back-extracted, wherein solvents such as benzene and toluene are generally adopted for extraction. In addition, after extraction, the caprolactam is subjected to anion-cation exchange process to remove residual inorganic salts such as ammonium sulfate and the like. The waste liquid after extraction, the waste liquid after back extraction and the waste liquid after ion exchange, which are generated in the product refining steps, are called the waste liquid for preparing caprolactam through cyclohexanone-oxime rearrangement, and are called the waste liquid for oxime rearrangement for short.
