Description

Method for removing sodium oxalate in production process of aluminum oxide
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of alumina production, and particularly relates to a method for removing sodium oxalate in an alumina production process.
Background
At present, more than 95 percent of the alumina yield in China is produced by adopting a Bayer process, and along with the reduction of the ore grade in China and the great improvement of the use proportion of imported ores, the adverse effect of organic matters in the ores on the production is increasingly prominent. The organic matters are divided into two categories of humic acid and asphalt, and the asphalt in the bauxite is insoluble in an alkaline solution and is discharged out of a production system along with the red mud. The organic matter of humic acid reacts with alkali to generate various sodium humate, and then gradually changes into low molecular weight organic compounds such as sodium oxalate and sodium carbonate. In the circulation process of the sodium aluminate solution, sodium oxalate can be rapidly accumulated, so that the concentration of the sodium oxalate in the solution is rapidly increased, the production of alumina is obviously influenced, mainly in the decomposition process of seed precipitation, due to the reduction of temperature, the sodium oxalate and aluminum hydroxide are crystallized together, the agglomeration of aluminum hydroxide crystals is prevented, the grain refining phenomenon is facilitated, the strength of the crystals is reduced in the roasting process, and a series of adverse effects are brought to the aspects of production, maintenance, yield, quality and the like of products.
In order to eliminate the harm of sodium oxalate in industrial sodium aluminate solution to alumina production, a great deal of research is carried out on the mechanism and method for removing sodium oxalate in the alumina production process at home and abroad, and various control and removal methods are provided, mainly comprising the following steps: crystallization, seed washing, organic oxidation, adsorption, solution combustion, and the like. The crystallization method is to carry out some pretreatments on sodium aluminate solution to reduce the stability of sodium oxalate in the solution, usually, the solution is evaporated, concentrated or cooled to crystallize sodium oxalate, or proper crystal seeds are added to promote sodium oxalate to crystallize and separate out from the solution, so as to achieve the purpose of removing sodium oxalate from the solution. The solution combustion method has higher energy consumption and production and application cost; the adsorption method can only remove certain specific organic matters to reduce the critical concentration of the sodium oxalate, but has no removal effect on the sodium oxalate; the chemical precipitation method is widely applied, mainly utilizes lime milk for causticization, and can effectively remove sodium oxalate in the sodium aluminate solution, but can cause the loss of alumina, so the method is only limited to treating the solution with low alkali concentration and has less application; the crystallization method has the advantages of low energy consumption, less equipment investment and lower production and application cost.
Of the various methods for controlling and removing sodium oxalate, only the seed crystal washing method, the crystallization method and the oxidation method are industrially applied, and the other methods are difficult to industrially apply due to the complex process flow, high cost, poor sodium oxalate removal effect and the like. The seed crystal washing method has the defects that the washing water amount is large, and the evaporation burden is increased; the mother liquor concentration crystallization in the crystallization method is difficult to realize solid-liquid separation, while the seed crystal of the seed crystal crystallization method is easy to lose activity, and the regeneration treatment or preparation leads to the complication of the process; although the organic matter oxidation method has good sodium oxalate removal effect, a great potential safety hazard exists in the use process.
