The XRD test patterns are respectively shown in figure 1 and figure 2.
The experimental phenomena during the execution of experiment I were: adding water into fly ash, dissolving, slowly adding sulfuric acid, making a moistening sound, placing a wet pH test paper over a beaker, making the test paper become orange red, and volatilizing acidic gas; the beaker is heated in the reaction process, and reaction heat is generated; after the acid is added dropwise, the solution becomes viscous; the suction filtration is difficult to change, and the grain composition is thinned.
For the volatilization of acid gas during the reaction, the subsequent pilot test is recommended to adopt plug-in addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to avoid the escape of the acid gas or adopt multi-point addition. In addition, according to the time of the first-stage water washing, the flow rate of dropwise adding sulfuric acid is adjusted so as to ensure that the sulfuric acid reacts fully as slowly as possible.
The experimental data are analyzed to obtain:
(1) compared with the filtrate generated by washing the fly ash with water, the volume of the acid washing fly ash is reduced by more than 200 milliliters, the alkalinity is weakened, the Pb content in heavy metal is obviously reduced, and the increase of the Cd content and other changes are not obvious.
(2) Compared with a filter cake of the water-washed fly ash, the particle size of slurry of the acid-washed fly ash is larger, and the content of most heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn, Ca and Mg) in total heavy metal analysis (XRF) is obviously reduced. The content of most heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn and Ca) in the heavy metal filtrate is obviously reduced.
(3) From the XRD patterns shown in fig. 1 and 2, it can be seen that: diffraction peaks of the acid-washed fly ash are obviously enhanced at the positions of 14 degrees and 26 degrees, wherein 14 degrees is CaSO4.0.76H2Characteristic diffraction peak of O, CaSO at 26 DEG4Characteristic diffraction peaks. Indicating that there are a large amount of Ca ions and SO4 2-The binding forms calcium sulfate precipitates that are trapped in the filter cake.
And combining the data of the experiment I, reducing the consumption of the waste sulfuric acid by the experiment II, and paying attention to the change of the Pb content in the filtrate and the influence of the added acid on the experiment suction filtration efficiency.
The procedure for experiment II is specifically as follows:
mixing fly ash and water according to the weight ratio of 1:3 to obtain slurry b, setting 6 groups of experiments on the basis of the slurry b, and marking as II-0, II-15, II-20, II-30, II-40 and II-50, wherein 0ml of purified sulfuric acid, 15ml of purified sulfuric acid, 20ml of purified sulfuric acid, 30ml of purified sulfuric acid, 40ml of purified sulfuric acid and 50ml of purified sulfuric acid are respectively added into the slurry b to obtain corresponding reaction liquid. And then performing a correlation test.
The heavy metal content of the reaction solution is shown in table 5.
TABLE 5 heavy Metal content (mg/L)
The basic physicochemical data of the reaction solution are shown in Table 6.
TABLE 6 basic physicochemical data of the reaction solutions
The experimental phenomena during the run of experiment II were: adding water into fly ash, dissolving, slowly adding sulfuric acid, making a moistening sound, placing a wet pH test paper over a beaker, making the test paper become orange red, and volatilizing acidic gas; the beaker is heated in the reaction process, and reaction heat is generated; after the acid is added dropwise, the solution becomes slightly viscous; the later stage of the filtration becomes slightly difficult.
The experimental data are analyzed to obtain:
(1) hardness dissolution: with the increase of the acid dosage, the dissolution of calcium hardness in the fly ash is gradually reduced, and calcium sulfate generated by the reaction is filtered and intercepted to a solid phase; as the amount of sulfuric acid was increased to 50ml, Mg was dissolved out.
(2) Typical heavy metal dissolution: along with the increase of the use amount of the sulfuric acid, the pH value of the fly ash filtrate gradually becomes smaller, and the Pb elution amount is obviously reduced; the Zn elution amount is firstly reduced and then increased, and the elution amount reaches 0.080mg/L at the minimum when 20ml of sulfuric acid is added. But Mg and Cd are gradually dissolved out with the increase of the dosage of the sulfuric acid.
(3) The volume of the filtrate was obtained: with the increase of the acid dosage, the loss rate of the filtrate is gradually increased within a certain suction filtration time of 6min, but the abnormal reduction occurs when 30ml of acid is added (the important point of the experiment is repeated). The same time (3min) was used for the three minutes before suction filtration with little change in the filtrate flow rate to give 350ml of filtrate.
Next, experiment III, which is a repetition experiment, was performed to mainly verify the repetition reliability of the experiment in which less than 30ml of waste sulfuric acid was added to the fly ash water wash (experiment was performed by replacing fly ash).
Also, in the foregoing manner, III-0, III-10, III-20, and III-30 are set to represent the water washing fly ash process, respectively, and the fly ash slurry takes up the waste sulfuric acid in an amount of 0ml, 10ml, 20ml, and 30 ml.
Experiments carried out by using fly ash different from the first two producing areas show that the experimental phenomenon does not have great change compared with the first two producing areas, the pH value is more than 9 when the acid adding amount is less than 30ml, heavy gold Mg is not dissolved out, and the contents of other heavy metals such as Ca, pb and the like also have a remarkable reduction trend. Specific experimental data are shown in tables 7 and 8.

The data and phenomena of experiment I, experiment II and experiment III are combined to obtain:
(1) hardness dissolution: along with the increase of the dosage of the sulfuric acid, the hardness dissolution of calcium in the fly ash is gradually reduced, and a calcium sulfate slightly soluble substance generated by the reaction is filtered and trapped in a solid-phase filter cake; this is demonstrated by XRD data (comparing XRD patterns of acid-washed fly ash and water-washed fly ash shows that diffraction peaks of acid-washed fly ash are obviously enhanced at 14 degree and 26 degree positions, wherein 14 degree is CaSO4.0.76H2Characteristic diffraction peak of O, 26 degrees CaSO4Characteristic diffraction peaks); the pH of the filtrate becomes gradually smaller with the increase of the dosage of the sulfuric acid, and Mg can not be dissolved out when the dosage of the sulfuric acid is less than 40 ml.
(2) Typical metal dissolution: as the amount of sulfuric acid used increases, the amount of Pb in the solution decreases significantly; the dissolution of other heavy metals is required to be inhibited in process control, the pH is controlled to be more than 9, and multiple effects of absorbing waste acid, saving alkali and improving heavy metals in evaporation and crystallization salt can be realized.
(3) Acid addition process recommendations: for the volatilization of acid gas during reaction, the insertion-type addition of concentrated sulfuric acid is suggested to avoid the escape of the acid gas during pilot test, or multi-point addition is adopted; in addition, according to the time of the first-stage water washing, the flow rate of dropwise adding sulfuric acid is adjusted so as to ensure that the sulfuric acid fully reacts as slowly as possible.
(4) The dosage of sulfuric acid is as follows: considering the experimental data comprehensively, the overall operation of the fly ash system is not affected when adding the waste acid, the heat release is counteracted and the like, so that the pilot test experiment is recommended to be carried out according to the proportion of 7.5 percent of the waste acid in the total amount of the fly ash (namely, 30ml of sulfuric acid (30 percent) is added into 200g of the fly ash).
(5) Possible effects on the production process: the addition of acid may result in a fine particle size distribution, increasing the difficulty of solid-liquid separation.
And (4) conclusion: the results of repeated bench tests and analysis of experimental data can be obtained as follows: when the acid is added according to the proportion of 7.5 percent, the heavy metal Pb in the solution is obviously reduced, Ga has the tendency of reduction, and the multiple effects of absorbing waste acid, saving alkali and improving heavy metal in evaporation and crystallization salt can be achieved. Therefore, pilot experiments are feasible.
Pilot experiments were performed immediately thereafter. According to the analysis of the whole fly ash washing process and the water treatment process principle, the addition of waste acid in the first-stage washing tank does not have great influence on the prior process; the experimental data were considered together and pilot experiments were planned with an addition rate of 7.5%.
The experiments are divided into 5 groups and are named as E-0, E-260, E-280, E-300 and E-340 in sequence, and the adding amount of the waste sulfuric acid is respectively 0, 260L/h, 280L/h, 300L/h and 340L/h.
The basic physical and chemical properties of the respective reaction liquids obtained are shown in Table 9.

The contents of heavy metal elements in the reaction solution are shown in table 10.
TABLE 10 heavy Metal element content (mg/L)
The slag content and particle size distribution of some of the experimental groups are shown in Table 11.
TABLE 11 slag content and particle size distribution
The pilot experiment phenomenon is as follows: after the sulfuric acid is added, the temperature of the first-stage water washing tank and the first-stage filtrate tank is obviously increased. When the fly ash is thrown into the water washing tank, white slightly irritant alkaline gas escapes, and the gas escape time generally lasts about 30 s.
By analyzing the data, it can be obtained that:
(1) hardness dissolution: with the increase of the use amount of the sulfuric acid, the dissolution of calcium hardness in the fly ash slightly fluctuates, and when the acid addition amount reaches 300L/h, the dissolution of calcium is reduced by 30 percent; as the use amount of the sulfuric acid is increased, the pH value of the fly ash filtrate is basically unchanged, and Mg is not separated out.
(2) Typical heavy metal dissolution: the Pb elution amount fluctuates with the increase of the use amount of sulfuric acid, and when the acid addition amount reaches 300L/h, the elution of lead is reduced by 60 percent.
(3) Total sulfur dissolution: the total sulfur dissolution change fluctuates along with the addition of sulfuric acid, and the total sulfur content is reduced by 24 percent when the acid addition amount reaches 340L/h.
(4) Slag content: with the addition of sulfuric acid, the slag content in the filtrate is obviously reduced and is as low as less than 1%.
Effect evaluation of pilot test experiment: after adding sulfuric acid, white and slightly irritant alkaline gas escapes from the primary water washing tank and the primary filtrate tank, the gas escape time generally lasts about 10s, and the gas tends to disappear and rise (wherein the filtrate rises from 46 ℃ to 52 ℃); the gas collection system is fully capable of digesting this overflow gas each time fly ash is dosed in a water wash tank; adding waste sulfuric acid into a fly ash primary washing system at 300-350L/h, and stably controlling the pH value to be about 12; during pilot plant experiments, softened soda ash usage was saved by 8.0%.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the purified waste acid is applied to a fly ash production line, the addition of acid is controlled, the pilot test effect is good, and multiple effects of absorbing the waste acid and improving heavy metals in the crystallized salt are achieved. The technical combination of waste acid and hazardous waste fly ash is realized, the comprehensive saving and recycling of resources are promoted, the environmental and safety problems caused by the stockpiling of high-concentration waste acid and fly ash are reduced, and the national policy guidance and social development requirements are completely met.
