Description

Red mud recycling method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of industrial waste processing, in particular to a method for recycling red mud and application thereof.
Background
In the preparation process of the alumina, most of aluminum in the bauxite is dissolved out by alkali when the bauxite is dissolved out by strong alkali, and impurities such as iron, titanium, calcium, magnesium and the like and most of silicon are not dissolved to form red mud residues. The red mud yield varies with the ore grade and the alumina production method. The quantity of red mud produced every year in the world is huge, and it is estimated that 1.0 ton of alumina is produced along with 1.0-1.8 ton of red mud by-product in China at present, and the red mud discharged every year in the alumina industry is about 6000 million tons.
The red mud contains about 3 percent of alkali, the pH value is 11.0-12.3, the corrosivity is strong, and the waste is nearly dangerous. At present, alumina manufacturers generally adopt methods such as flat ground building, river valley blocking, concave filling and the like to pile up the red mud. Therefore, the method not only occupies land resources, but also causes harmful substances in the red mud to permeate underground to pollute water and soil. In addition, the sewage generated by washing the red mud with rainwater can also pollute water and soil. In a word, the stacking of a large amount of red mud causes environmental pollution and damages ecological balance.
Meanwhile, the red mud is also a resource. The red mud component is related to the raw bauxite component and the alumina production process. With the increase of the amount of imported bauxite in China and the adoption of the Bayer process, the iron content in the red mud can reach more than 30 percent. The shortage of iron resources in China is especially along with the rapid development of the steel industry, and the iron resources are increasingly reduced. In addition, the red mud can adsorb heavy metal ions in the soil and be complexed with the heavy metal ions, so the red mud can be used as a repairing agent for the heavy metal polluted soil to treat the soil pollution and repair the ecological balance. Under the double pressure of resource depletion and environmental protection, the processing and comprehensive utilization of the red mud are significant.
The invention with the application number of CN201710976695.0 discloses a method for recovering iron from red mud, which comprises the specific operations of carrying out strong magnetic separation on the red mud, and then sequentially carrying out pre-oxidation, reduction, reoxidation suspension roasting and magnetic separation treatment. The process flow has the defects of complex operation, higher roasting temperature, toxic reducing gas CO, high energy consumption, higher cost and the like.
The invention with the application number of CN202011514868.5 discloses a comprehensive utilization method of red mud by a full-wet method, which comprises the steps of primary leaching of red mud by dilute hydrochloric acid, secondary leaching of treated filter residue by adding sulfuric acid, precipitation of iron, aluminum, titanium and scandium by adding alkali liquor into treated filtrate, and recovery of calcium in the red mud. The method has the advantages of complex operation process and long period through multiple acidolysis and precipitation filtration.
Because the release speed of free alkali in the red mud is very high, if the red mud powder is directly used as a soil remediation agent, the soil can be seriously damaged. The invention patent with the application number of CN201510793560.1 discloses a red mud particle soil repairing agent and a preparation method thereof, the red mud is used as a raw material to prepare the soil repairing agent with certain mechanical strength and stable and curable property of heavy metal, and release of free alkali in the red mud is slowed down, but the method adds various cementing materials besides gypsum, so that the reaction period is long, the utilization rate of the red mud is low, and the recovery of iron in the red mud is not introduced.

s7, adding collecting agents and foaming agents with different amounts into a flotation machine to carry out salinization of roughing for 5 times; the method comprises the following steps of (1) adding 30% of a trapping agent comprising lauryl amine acetate, ether amine acetate, kerosene and polyethylene glycol = 40; the total using amount of the test collecting agent is 120g/t, 100g/t, 80g/t and 60g/t respectively.
When the amount of the scavenger is different, the grade TFe, the yield and the recovery rate of the red mud-based iron ore obtained from middling are shown in table 9 (unit%).
TABLE 9 Effect of Capture agent dosage on salinization results
0 60g/t 80g/t 100g/t 120g/t
Grade TFe 41.8 53.5 56.0 59.3 62.7
Yield of the product 100 70.7 65.0 59.1 53.9
Recovery rate 100 90.5 87.1 83.8 80.9
As can be seen from Table 9, the soil remediation agent TFe gradually increased with increasing amount of the capture agent; although the yield and the recovery rate are gradually reduced, the overall result is ideal, and the total recovery rate of iron can reach more than 80%.
In conclusion, the invention provides a red mud recycling method and application thereof, the acidolysis and the flotation method are combined to obtain the red mud-based iron ore with TFe of more than 56%, the total recovery rate of iron can reach more than 80%, and meanwhile, calcium, magnesium and aluminum are recovered, so that the red mud utilization rate is high; the wet process is adopted, the reaction condition is mild, the reaction does not need to be carried out at high temperature, and the energy consumption is low; the raw materials used in the process flow are few in variety, the equipment requirement is low, and the cost is saved; during acidolysis of low-concentration hydrochloric acid, calcium, magnesium, sodium and other components in the red mud are preferentially dissolved out, the cementing action of carbonate and silicate in the red mud is broken, and iron minerals and other minerals are dissociated, so that flotation enrichment becomes possible; and a reverse flotation desilication method is adopted, so that the dosage of the medicament is small, and the subsequent operation is simple; the regeneration and the cyclic utilization of the acidolysis solution are realized by using the sulfuric acid, the lime and the like with low price; the generated red mud-based iron ore is used for a soil remediation agent, and a novel preparation method of the soil remediation agent is provided.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
