Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of phosphorite utilization, and particularly relates to a method for producing wet-process phosphoric acid and α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum from medium-grade phosphorite
Background
The resource reserves of phosphorite in China are abundant but not rich, the resource reserves of ore are found to be 176 hundred million tons, the basic reserves are 33 hundred million tons, but the reserves of high-grade phosphorite are low, P2O5The amount of the phosphorus-rich ore resource reserve ore with the content of more than 30 wt.% is only 16.6 hundred million tons. Phosphorite has been classified as a strategic mineral as a valuable non-renewable resource in the national mineral resource planning (2016-.
The main component of the industrial by-product phosphogypsum in the wet phosphoric acid process is calcium sulfate, phosphoric acid is the basic raw material for producing phosphorus chemical products, and 1 ton of phosphoric acid (100 wt.% P is prepared2O5Meter) produced about 5 tons of phosphogypsum. At present, the phosphogypsum piled by phosphate fertilizer enterprises in China exceeds 2.5 hundred million tons, the yield exceeds 7000 ten thousand tons per year, the comprehensive utilization rate of the phosphogypsum is only about 25 percent at present, and the phosphogypsum is mainly used for cement industry, low-end building material products, pit and roadbed filling, soil improvement and the like.
The phosphogypsum is taken as solid waste to cause great environmental pollution risk, and the current problem of phosphogypsum discharge is a great technical problem facing the wet process phosphoric acid industry in China.
At present, more than 80% of wet-process phosphoric acid in China adopts a traditional dihydrate process, and a few manufacturers adopt a semi-hydrate-dihydrate or one-step semi-hydrate process. The phosphorus yield of the traditional dihydrate method and the one-step semi-hydrate process is low and is only about 94 percent and 92 percent respectively, the impurity content in the gypsum is high, and the comprehensive utilization of the phosphogypsum is seriously restricted; the semi-hydrated-dihydrate process has high phosphorus yield and good gypsum quality, but the process has high requirement on phosphorite raw materials and is not suitable for most enterprises, and meanwhile, the dihydrate gypsum is obtained by the process, so that the comprehensive utilization cost is increased.
A two-step wet process phosphoric acid process (a semi-water-dihydrate process, a dihydrate-semi-water process) is gradually started, wherein the semi-water-dihydrate process has been industrialized in China and has the advantages of high acid concentration, high phosphorus yield and good energy-saving effect, but the problem is that a byproduct is dihydrate phosphogypsum, and high added value utilization cannot be directly carried out. However, the dihydrate-hemihydrate process is limited to literature description at present in China, and the research content mainly adopts high-grade mineral powder as a raw material, so that the dihydrate-hemihydrate process is not suitable for producing medium-low grade phosphorite.

and 4, filtering and washing, namely performing three-stage cyclone separation on the slurry in the crystal conversion tank, mixing the slurry of the upper layer and the slurry of the bottom layer obtained after the three-stage cyclone separation, filtering and washing, and independently filtering and washing the slurry of the middle layer to obtain α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum and diluted phosphoric acid used for returning to the step 1 and the step 3.
The further technical scheme is as follows: the method further comprises the following steps:
and 5, neutralizing: by using Ca (OH)2Mixing the α phosphogypsum hemihydrate (α -CaSO)4·0.5H2O) to pH 7-8.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) the step 1 of the invention aims to decompose phosphorite as fully as possible in reaction time to obtain higher phosphorus recovery rate, and obtain complete, thick and uniform calcium sulfate crystals, thereby being beneficial to filtration and separation and full washing of phosphogypsum. Usually, the total 98 wt.% sulfuric acid required for phosphorite decomposition is added to the decomposition tank simultaneously with the phosphorite and dilute phosphoric acid, and the process actually comprises 98 wt.% sulfuric acid in CaSO4-H3PO4-H2SO4-H2Dispersed, dilute phosphoric acid H in O quaternary reaction system3PO4And 98 wt.% concentrated sulfuric acid to provide H+(with H)3PO4Predominantly in an amount of H2SO420-25 times of) and Ca in the phosphate ore particles2+Ca in supersaturated state2+With SO4 2-Calcium sulfate crystals are formed by collision. The present invention is to effectively inhibit spontaneous generation of hypercyte nuclei and Ca2+And SO4 2-The attachment of the phosphate rock decomposition tank is favorable for crystal growth, and the lower free sulfate radical (SO) is controlled by controlling the lower acid-ore ratio of the phosphate rock decomposition tank4 2-) The concentration ensures that the phosphorite completes the decomposition reaction under a low saturation system, more sulfuric acid is added into the crystal conversion process to promote the crystallization conversion, and the conversion process is SO4 2-Enters the decomposition tank in the form of dilute phosphoric acid solution and simultaneously makes full use of 98wt.% heat of dilution of concentrated sulfuric acid, heat of reaction.
Step 2 involves dividing the phosphate rock decomposition mixed slurry of step 1 into two parts, wherein 44-50 wt.% of the mixed slurry is separated by filtration to obtain P2O5Finished phosphoric acid and dihydrate phosphogypsum (CaSO) with a concentration of 35-42 wt%4·2H2And O), feeding the residual part of the slurry and the dihydrate phosphogypsum into a crystal conversion tank, and adding 98 wt.% of concentrated sulfuric acid to complete the semi-water conversion.
In some documents, it is described that the phosphorite decomposition slurry is completely separated by filtration, and then part of the dilute phosphoric acid and the washing water are returned to the decomposition tank to ensure the necessary process indexes of the semi-water process, and the defects of the step 2 are caused by increased filtration load, enlarged equipment scale, high energy consumption and reduced filtration efficiency. The invention has the advantages that: only part of phosphoric acid is extracted in the step 2, so that the scale of equipment related to the step 2, such as filtering equipment, is controlled; the aim of controlling the concentration and the solid content of the dilute phosphoric acid in the semi-water conversion process is achieved by adjusting the proportion of the two parts of slurry.
And step 3, crystal tank process indexes are as follows: the temperature is 100-104.5 ℃; free sulfate radical (SO)4 2-) Under the condition of concentration of 160-4·2H2O to α -CaSO4·1/2H2The conversion of O hemihydrate is carried out SO that 60-80 wt.% of the total amount of 98 wt.% of concentrated sulfuric acid theoretically required is added to the crystallization tank, the conversion temperature is raised to 100-104.5 ℃ by making full use of the heat of dilution with sulfuric acid, free Sulfate (SO)4 2-) The concentration reaches 160-180 g/L. Excess free sulfate radical (SO) after solid-liquid separation4 2-) Returning to the decomposition tank in the step 1 along with the diluted phosphoric acid to ensure free sulfate radical (SO) required by phosphogypsum crystallization4 2-) Controlling free sulfate radical (SO) in the decomposition tank in the step 14 2-)10-20g/L, maintaining the efficient decomposition of the phosphorite in a low saturation state to generate CaSO4 & 2H2And (4) crystallizing O, wherein the crystal is complete, thick and uniform.
In the step 4, three-stage cyclone separator is adopted to grade the semi-hydrated and semi-hydrated conversion reaction slurry to obtain mixed slurry of an upper layer and a bottom layer and middle layer slurry, the mixed slurry of the upper layer and the bottom layer is filtered to obtain α semi-hydrated phosphogypsumIs divided into complex components containing light organic matters, acid-insoluble impurities and loose and fine α -CaSO4·1/2H2α -CaSO with O crystal and complex structure4·1/2H2Filtering the intermediate layer slurry to obtain high-purity compact, complete and coarse hexagonal prism α -CaSO4·1/2H2The α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum of the O crystal realizes the grading of the byproduct α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum, creates conditions for the high-value utilization of the resource, and the component index of the α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum obtained by the invention is omega (H)2O)13-15%、ω(P2O5Insolubility is less than or equal to 0.25%, omega (P)2O5Solubility) is less than or equal to 0.1 percent. In addition, dilute phosphoric acid obtained after filtration and washing is returned to the step 1 and the step 3, and the dilute phosphoric acid contains 30 to 33 wt.% of P2O5。
The three-stage cyclone separation has the advantages of separating light acid insoluble impurities and α -CaSO with complex structure4·1/2H2The method combines and filters slurry of an upper layer and a bottom layer to obtain mixed α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum, which meets the requirements of quality and demand of a cement retarder.
The α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum as a byproduct in the step 5 has low content of residual phosphorus and free F, is beneficial to washing, has small acidity of phosphogypsum, and greatly reduces the amount of lime water consumed for neutralization, the dosage of quicklime (90 wt.% CaO) required for neutralizing the phosphogypsum by the traditional phosphoric acid production device by a dihydrate method to the pH value of 5-8 is 8.3-16kg/t of phosphogypsum, and the dosage of the quicklime required for neutralizing α semi-hydrated phosphogypsum to the same pH value is only 4-13 wt.% of the dosage of the quicklime required for the phosphogypsum by the dihydrate method.
(2) Compared with the 'one-step method dihydrate-semi-hydrated wet-process phosphoric acid production process' disclosed in the patent CN107840317A, the invention has the advantages that: the invention can make full use of free sulfate radical (SO)4 2-) Promoting crystallization conversion and dilution heat thereof, and does not affect the sulfate radical (SO) of the finished phosphoric acid4 2-) And (4) content. The adding amount of the concentrated sulfuric acid in the crystal transfer tank is increased by 10 percent compared with that in the comparison file, so that more concentrated sulfuric acid supplies dilution heat to the crystal transfer tank for crystal transfer processDissolving in liquid phase of converted slurry, filtering, and adding free sulfate radical (SO)4 2-) Returning to the reaction tank with the diluted phosphoric acid to participate in the decomposition of the phosphorite to obtain CaSO4·2H2And (4) O crystallization. In the comparison document, because of the crystal transformation requirement, the addition amount of concentrated sulfuric acid accounts for 70% of the total amount of the concentrated sulfuric acid, the utilization of the dilution heat of the sulfuric acid is lower than that of the invention, if the temperature of the crystal transformation tank does not reach the required 100-104 ℃, the temperature of the crystal transformation tank needs to be improved by other heat exchange means, and the energy consumption is correspondingly increased; in addition, the crystal transition tank has free sulfate radical (SO)4 2-) Reaching 160-180g/L, filtering and separating to obtain medium concentration phosphoric acid, wherein one part is finished phosphoric acid containing sulfate radical (SO)4 2-) Up to 160-180g/L, and the mass ratio thereof is up to 6% or even higher, which is not beneficial to the downstream industrial product production from the view point of wet-process phosphoric acid application. The invention adopts two-step filtration, and sulfate radical (SO) is dissociated from a decomposition tank4 2-) The concentration determines the sulfate radical content (0.5-1.5%) of the finished product phosphoric acid, namely the finished product phosphoric acid obtained by the invention has lower sulfate radical content.
