Description

Method for recycling rare earth elements from red mud by utilizing acidophilic thermophilic red algae and application
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of resource recycling, and particularly relates to a method for recycling rare earth elements from red mud by utilizing acidophilic thermophilic red algae and application thereof.
Background
The red mud is a solid waste discharged after alumina is extracted from bauxite, and researches show that the red mud is produced by about 1-2 tons per 1 ton of alumina on average, and the annual red mud production amount is about 1.5 hundred million tons worldwide. The alumina yield in China exceeds 2500 ten thousand tons, the red mud yield exceeds 4000 ten thousand tons, but the comprehensive utilization rate of the red mud is only 4%, and the accumulated stockpiling amount of the red mud is over 2 hundred million tons. On one hand, a large amount of stacking of the red mud occupies a large amount of land, construction and maintenance of a storage yard consume a large amount of funds, and the pollution of polluted soil, underground water and atmosphere is easily caused due to improper storage, so that the ecological environment is further deteriorated; on the other hand, the red mud contains a large amount of renewable metal elements, especially contains abundant valuable metals such as iron, aluminum, calcium, titanium, rare earth and other metal elements. Rare earth elements are considered as key important metals of many high-tech materials, are called as industrial gold, and have wide application in the fields of new energy, metallurgy, petrochemical industry, glass ceramic, aerospace and the like, so the demand for rare earth elements is continuously growing. Therefore, the recycling of rare earth metals from the red mud not only can realize the recycling of resources, but also is more beneficial to reducing environmental pollution and helping ecological civilization construction.
At present, three processes are mainly adopted in the method for recovering rare earth elements from red mud, one is to directly leach the rare earth elements in the red mud by inorganic acid, so that cerium, calcium, titanium and other elements generate soluble salts, the soluble salts belong to a strong acid leaching process, and the process has the problems of large acid consumption and complex separation steps; the second method is that rare earth elements are leached after the red mud is sulfated and roasted, the sulfuric acid concentration is high, and the roasting temperature involved in the sulfuric acid acidification process is high; the third is a means of combining physical separation with chemical dissolution, such as iron removal by reduction roasting-magnetic separation, silicon removal by acid leaching, aluminum removal by sodium hydroxide solution leaching to obtain rare earth elements. However, whichever process is adopted, the problems of high energy consumption, high carbon emission and environmental pollution caused by high acid and alkali are all faced.
In recent years, environmental and wastewater bioremediation by biotechnology has received increasing attention due to low cost, low carbon, environmental friendliness, multiple varieties and excellent performance. In this case, the recovery of rare earth elements in the liquid phase by algae is a potential biotechnological means. As early as 1997, hao et al (1997) studied the process of enriching rare earth elements in living Chlorella. In 2002, palnieri et al used dried gulfweed (Sargassum fluitans) to remove La 3+ . In 2017, jacinto et al reported for the first time that living macroalgae can remove and recover rare earths. Although algae have the potential to provide sustainable materials for rare earth removal, their efficiency, controllability and convenience in recovery processes still need to be greatly improved. Especially, most of the existing organisms cannot adapt to the low-pH and high-concentration metal environment of the red mud extract, so that the application and popularization of the technology for recycling rare earth elements from the red mud by algae are restricted.

Preferably, the desorbing agent is HNO with the concentration of 0.1mol/L 3
Preferably, the preparation method of the acidophilic thermophilic red algae seed liquid in the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: inoculating unicellular red algae G.sulfauraria into a conical flask containing BG-11 culture medium (the culture medium components are shown in table 1) at room temperature for pre-culture, wherein the initial inoculation concentration is 0.44g/L, the culture time is 7 days, the illumination intensity is 2500lx, and the light-dark ratio is 12h to 12h, so as to obtain acidophilic thermophilic red algae seed liquid.

The results of the total rare earth element concentration accumulated in the g.sulfaria biomass in the methods of example 3, example 5, example 6 and comparative examples 2-4 are shown in fig. 6. The total rare earth element concentration accumulated in G.sulfophia biomass in the example 5 is slightly lower than that in the example 3, the concentration of the rare earth absorbed in alga cells in the example 3 and the example 5 reaches 125.1 mug/g and 121.5 mug/g dry weight respectively, and the red alga can realize higher enrichment efficiency under the culture condition that the humidity is 50-70%; the total rare earth element concentration accumulated in G.sulfophuraria biomass in the example 5 is far higher than that of the comparative examples 2 and 3, which shows that the red algae has low rare earth element enrichment efficiency under the culture condition that the carbon source (glucose) addition amount is lower than 20g/L or the culture time is less than 5d, and the proper culture condition of the red algae is proved to be that the carbon source addition amount is 20-40g/L and the culture time is 5-10d; the concentration of total rare earth elements accumulated in G.sulfophia biomass in example 6 is far higher than that in comparative example 4, and it is proved that when the illumination intensity is higher than 12000Lx, the enrichment efficiency of acidophilic thermophilic red algae is reduced, and the proper culture condition of the red algae is carried out under a full spectrum LED lamp, the illumination intensity is 8000-12000 Lx, and the light-dark period ratio is 16h to 8h.
