Background
The steel industry is the national economy basic industry of China and is also the heavy industry with high emission and high consumption. In normal production activities, iron and steel enterprises can generate a large amount of iron-rich solid wastes, such as sintering dust, blast furnace dust, steel making dust mud, iron sheets generated in steel rolling stages and the like. Taking a production line with an annual output of 900 ten thousand tons of crude steel as an example, solid wastes in each process, including iron-containing solid waste products, carbon-containing solid waste products and other solid waste products, are produced in an annual output of approximately 700 thousand tons. The secondary utilization of these solid wastes has become an urgent problem to be solved by various iron and steel enterprises. At present, most enterprises can only select incineration, landfill or stockpiling modes for treatment and disposal of the metallurgical solid wastes due to capital and technical elbows. However, such a rough processing method not only causes a serious waste of resources, but also brings about a serious environmental problem. Therefore, the novel technology for comprehensively utilizing the bulk solid wastes of the iron and steel enterprises is developed, the high-efficiency, high-value and resource utilization of the iron and steel enterprises is realized, and the method has extremely important strategic significance on the sustainable development of the circular economy of the iron and steel enterprises.
The annual output of electric furnace steel in China is about 1 hundred million tons, and about 40-50 kg of electric furnace dust removal ash can be generated when the electric furnace produces 1 ton of steel. According to measurement and calculation, the annual output of the electric furnace dust removal ash in China is nearly 500 ten thousand tons, and the electric furnace dust removal ash becomes an important component in a large amount of dangerous/solid wastes of iron and steel enterprises. At present, iron and steel enterprises treat the electric furnace dust removal ash mainly by mixing the electric furnace dust removal ash into a rotary kiln or a rotary hearth furnace for recycling. However, the electric furnace dust removal ash often contains alkali metal elements such as Na and K, and the direct utilization of the alkali metal elements can corrode a furnace wall lining, so that the service life of equipment is seriously influenced; in addition, the electric furnace dust removal ash contains a large amount of Fe and Zn resources, and the Fe and Zn resources are recycled, so that a new way for supplying the Fe and Zn resources in China can be provided. At present, the recycling of valuable components in electric furnace dust mainly comprises the following methods: the physical method is that main element iron in the electric furnace dust is recycled by magnetic separation and other methods, and other valuable components are enriched in tailings after the magnetic separation, so that the purpose of step recovery is achieved, but the recovery efficiency of the method is low, and the recovery rate of Fe is only about 50%; the pyrogenic process and the wet process are respectively used for treating dust and sludge with high zinc content and high Na and K content, have small applicability and application range, and have no precedent of large-scale industrial utilization in most iron and steel enterprises.
In order to comprehensively recover valuable metal elements in electric furnace dust removal ash, the Chinese patent 'a method for comprehensively recovering silver, lead and iron from electric furnace dust removal ash (CN 201610617875.5)' provides a method for recovering silver, lead and iron in a wet-process step manner, but the method has long process flow and large medicament consumption, and a large amount of production wastewater not only increases the pollution risk, but also increases the cost of environmental management; chinese patent 'a device and (CN201810919589.3) that contains zinc and iron dust mud resource utilization' has proposed a device and method that contains zinc and iron dust mud resource utilization, and this technology has designed a new annular preheating reduction furnace, obtains the reduction molten iron through reduction smelting simultaneously, and the flue gas is collected through the dust remover after waste heat recovery can obtain the zinc oxide product, and this process flow equipment investment cost is high, and the product added value is low, therefore does not obtain large-scale popularization and application in the industry.
At present, iron and steel enterprises pay more and more attention to the comprehensive utilization of Fe resources in iron-rich dust under the influence of the rising price of upstream iron ores. Iron resources in the electric furnace dust removal ash are rich, chemical components are complex, and a targeted process method is selected according to the characteristics of different resources to carry out gradient recycling on valuable components in the dust removal ash. From the actual technical requirements of iron and steel enterprises, the comprehensive new process for removing dust from an electric furnace has the following characteristics: the production flow is simple, and the process cost is low; the recovery rate of valuable elements is high; the environmental pollution is small; high added value of the product and the like. In view of the above, the invention provides a process flow for recovering valuable elements Fe, Zn and Pb of the electric furnace dust removal ash through step separation, aiming at solving the cost problem and the environmental problem of the existing electric furnace dust removal ash treatment process, so as to recycle and highly value-added iron and zinc resources, thereby not only achieving the recycling and harmless treatment of the large amount of dangerous waste electric furnace dust removal ash and realizing the purposes of reducing the source of the electric furnace dust removal ash and controlling the whole process of pollutants, but also bringing actual profits to enterprises by the generated high value-added products and having wide market popularization and application values.
