Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of environmental protection, in particular to a method for recovering and separating potassium salt and sodium salt in waste incineration fly ash.
Background
China is a country with relatively poor potassium resources, the production of potassium salt in China is mainly extracted from salt lakes and seawater, and most of the other parts need to be imported from abroad. Research results show that the content of potassium and sodium salts in the incineration fly ash is up to more than 20 percent, and if the potassium and sodium salts are not utilized, a huge 'salt mine' is wasted. The potassium and sodium salts in the fly ash mainly exist in the form of chloride, and the content of chloride ions reaches about 20 percent. According to the characteristics of the components of the waste fly ash, the method for effectively disposing the waste fly ash by using the cement as the raw material is adopted, but the waste fly ash has high chloride ion content, and the cement is directly used as the cement raw material to cause skinning and blockage, so that the normal operation of a cement kiln is influenced. Therefore, the potassium and sodium salts in the waste incineration fly ash are separated and recovered, the content of chloride ions can be greatly reduced, the requirement and the suitability for subsequent cement kiln treatment can be met, and the resource treatment of the fly ash can be realized.
Hangzhou xiu environmental protection science and technology limited company patent No. CN109396163A discloses a garbage fly ash treatment process for improving the dissolution rate of chloride ions, and the process effectively improves the dissolution rate of chloride ions in fly ash by combining wet grinding with a three-stage water washing process. Another patent No. CN109455738A discloses a process for preparing high-quality industrial salt from fly ash from waste incineration, which comprises the steps of washing fly ash with water, removing heavy metals, decoloring, removing calcium, evaporating for crystallization and separating potassium and sodium. In the process, sodium chloride is obtained by primary centrifugal separation during evaporation crystallization, separated liquid is subjected to secondary centrifugal separation after being cooled and crystallized, the liquid subjected to secondary centrifugal separation enters the heavy metal removal step again, the solid subjected to secondary centrifugal separation is refined by taking saturated potassium chloride solution as refined washing liquid, and potassium chloride is obtained after tertiary centrifugal separation, wherein the heavy metal content of the potassium chloride is within the national standard requirement.
Chinese Zhongji International engineering Co., Ltd, patent No. CN110040748A discloses a method for producing potassium salt and sodium salt by using waste incineration fly ash, which comprises the steps of leaching the waste incineration fly ash with water to obtain leaching solution, removing calcium ions and heavy metal impurities in the leaching solution by sodium carbonate, sodium sulfide and other medicaments in sequence, and evaporating and crystallizing the leaching solution in multiple steps after removing impurities to obtain high-purity or industrial sodium chloride and potassium chloride crystals.
Patent No. CN109354041A of Nanjing Nanhuan Water science and technology Limited discloses a method for extracting potassium from fly ash water washing liquid, which comprises the steps of carrying out front-stage filtration on the fly ash water washing liquid and removing suspended matters, sequentially adding sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate for clarification and sludge filtration, carrying out evaporative crystallization on the clarified liquid to separate out sodium chloride, adding sodium sulfate for freezing crystallization, obtaining glaserite solid, and further purifying by using potassium chloride regulating solution to obtain potassium sulfate crystal salt with higher value.
However, in the above technical achievement, patent CN109396163A discloses a waste fly ash treatment process for improving the dissolution rate of chloride ions, which adopts a wet grinding combined with a three-stage water washing process to effectively improve the dissolution rate of chloride ions in fly ash. As the fly ash is from waste incineration, a certain proportion of aggregation particles which are difficult to disperse can be formed in the fly ash production process, the fly ash is directly mixed with water and is not uniform, soluble salts in the fly ash particles are difficult to dissolve out, and meanwhile, the fly ash particles are easy to agglomerate and agglomerate while the fly ash is stirred and washed, so that the soluble salts are difficult to dissolve out, therefore, the fly ash particles after wet grinding are finer and are easy to agglomerate and agglomerate, and the difficulty in subsequent filtration is increased. The fly ash is washed by water to obtain high-concentration salt water, mainly comprising potassium chloride, sodium chloride and calcium chloride, the contents of the potassium chloride, the sodium chloride and the calcium chloride are close to each other, decalcification and heavy metal removal treatment are required before an evaporation crystallization process is adopted, a large amount of sodium carbonate or sodium sulfate is required to be added in the decalcification process, the dosage of a medicament is large, the disposal cost is high, and a large amount of calcium mud is generated at the same time. The potassium and sodium salts are separated by an evaporative crystallization process, crystallization separation needs to be carried out in multiple steps, and washing water with approximate potassium and sodium contents cannot be effectively separated, so that the method is narrow in applicability.
