Description

System and method for preparing iron by hydro-electric reduction of iron ore
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of energy and metallurgy, and particularly relates to a system and a method for preparing iron by hydrogen electro-reduction of iron ore.
Background
The crude steel output of China in 2021 is about 10 hundred million tons, and the discharged CO 2 is about 18 hundred million tons, which accounts for 16 percent of the total discharged of China. The steel industry in China mainly uses the equal-length flow modes of a blast furnace and a converter (accounting for 90 percent of the flow), wherein blast furnace ironmaking is a main section for discharging CO 2, and accounts for about 70 percent of the whole flow. The blast furnace ironmaking uses coke as a reducing agent to remove oxygen in the iron ore, obtain molten iron and discharge a large amount of CO 2. In the context of "carbon peaks", "carbon neutralization", the iron and steel industry is highly in need of developing a revolutionary low carbon iron making technology.
The currently developed ultra-low carbon iron making technology is mainly a technical route for replacing coke. Including hydrogen reduction instead of carbon reduction and electrical reduction instead of carbon reduction.
The hydrogen reduction route, namely, hydrogen production by water electrolysis and hydrogen reduction of iron. Patent CN112159880B discloses a method and apparatus for hydrogen-making, in which iron-ore-containing raw materials are subjected to microwave irradiation in a hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gas atmosphere to achieve hydrogen-rich or pure hydrogen-containing smelting of iron ore, and direct reduced iron can be obtained. Solves the problem that the reduction of iron oxide by hydrogen-rich gas in the existing hydrogen iron making still causes the discharge of a large amount of carbon dioxide. Patent application CN102586527a discloses a new process for smelting and reducing iron by hydrogen and carbon, the heat required by the whole process is provided by oxy-coal combustion and secondary combustion of reducing gas, and compared with the existing process, the emission of CO 2 is reduced by about 10%. Patent application CN105886688A discloses a green cyclic production system, in the metal smelting process, hydrogen replaces carbon to reduce iron ore into elemental iron, CO 2 is not generated in the process, water vapor generated by smelting generates electricity, and H 2 generated by electrolysis water is recycled. However, the current industrial water electrolysis hydrogen production is mainly an alkaline water solution system, the energy efficiency is about 60%, and the hydrogen production efficiency is low. In the process of reducing iron by hydrogen, the thermodynamic equilibrium is limited, so that the single conversion rate is low, multiple cycles are needed, and the energy consumption is increased. Meanwhile, the thermal effect of hydrogen to reduce iron is poor, and a large amount of heat energy needs to be additionally supplemented. Overall, "hydro metallurgy" consumes essentially green electrical energy, which is electro-metallurgy. The development of one-step electrochemical reduction of iron is also of great significance.
Under the electrochemical action, the iron ore can be decomposed into metallic iron and release oxygen. To achieve this, it is generally done in three typical systems, namely a high temperature molten salt/molten iron oxide system, an alkaline system and an acidic system. High temperature molten salt/molten iron oxide system. Patent application CN114232033A discloses a method for preparing high-purity iron by high-temperature fused salt electroreduction, which adopts a CaCl 2-Fe2O3 -CaO fused salt system, and under a certain current density and an inert atmosphere of argon at 850 ℃, a high-purity iron product with the purity of 99.94% can be obtained by fused salt electroreduction. Patent CN101906646B discloses a method for preparing metallic iron by electrolyzing iron ore with molten salt, which adopts Fe 2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 molten salt system, and obtains metallic iron by molten salt electroreduction under certain current density and electrolysis temperature (1580-1620 ℃). Patent CN109477232B discloses a preparation method of reducing iron by using an electrolytic deposition method through fused salt electroreduction under a certain voltage (1.5V/2.5V) and an electrolysis temperature (1000 ℃) by adopting a Na 2O2-B2O3-Fe2O3 fused salt system to obtain metal iron with 97% purity. At present, the main problems of the high-temperature molten salt/molten ferric oxide system are the development of economic inert anode materials, a proper electrolyte system, the purification of raw materials and the like.
An alkaline solution electroreduction iron-making technical route. Allanore A et al (DOI: 10.1149/1.2790285) have experimentally confirmed the possibility of iron formation by electrolytic suspension of a solution of iron oxide particles (iron ion concentration 2.6X10- -3 M) in a sodium hydroxide solution (mass concentration 50%, temperature 110 ℃ C.), but also mention the problem of very low reduction efficiency due to low hematite solubility in the system. Patent CN101696510B discloses a method and apparatus for preparing high-purity iron powder by electrolytic deoxidation, which relates to an electrochemical method for obtaining high-purity iron from solid iron oxide. The solid ferric oxide is a sintered body or ore with single or mixed Fe 2O3、Fe3O4 and FeO, the cathode and the anode are respectively positioned at two ends of the electrolytic tank, an ion conductor membrane and a high-temperature hydroxide solution (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, the temperature is 700-800 ℃) are arranged in the electrolytic tank, a preset voltage is arranged between the cathode and the anode to drive oxygen ions to diffuse from the ferric oxide in the cathode basket to the anode, and high-purity iron can be obtained on the cathode. However, the anode in the patent must be a solid material with strong alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and good conductivity, and the solid oxygen ion conductor membrane must also have the characteristics of alkali resistance and corrosion resistance, so that the cost is high. In addition, in order to prevent the dissolution of impurities in solid iron oxide in high-temperature alkaline solution from adversely affecting the electrolyte performance, the iron oxide needs to be subjected to impurity removal pretreatment, and this process leads to a significant increase in economic and environmental costs.
An acidic solution electroreduction process for preparing iron. Researchers have performed a great deal of work on the electroreduction of acidic iron-containing solutions to produce iron, primarily for the purpose of producing high purity metallic iron and pure iron powders. In this process, the most common electrolyte solutions are ferrous chloride and ferrous sulfate. The patent application CN107955952A discloses a method for producing high-purity iron powder by utilizing iron slag, which comprises the steps of removing inorganic components such as silicon dioxide and the like in the iron slag by leaching (the components of leaching liquid comprise 15-19 parts of sodium hydroxide, 5-9 parts of sodium methacrylate sulfonate and 260-300 parts of water), improving the content of iron particles in filter residues, adding electrolyte which comprises 6-9 parts of hydrochloric acid with the volume fraction of 15%, 10-14 parts of magnesium sulfate and 900-1000 parts of water for electrolysis, and finally cleaning the surface of the iron powder by utilizing ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid solution with the mass fraction of 18-22% to obtain the high-purity iron powder. In the patent, a large amount of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid are consumed in the leaching and electrolysis processes, and the leaching liquid and the electrolyte cannot be recycled due to the influence of factors such as impurities and concentration, so that the subsequent treatment is difficult. Patent CN101517129B discloses an electrochemical method for recovering iron metal and chlorine from iron-rich metal chloride solution, the pH of the catholyte is 0.9-1.1, the electroreduction temperature is 80-85 ℃, the cathode current density is 200-500A/m 2, the current efficiency is 96.4% -97.9%, and the purity of the electroreduced iron is 99.99%. The patent has high requirements for the control of impurity content and pH in the solution, and requires the adjustment of the ferric chloride solution at a relatively low pH to prevent co-precipitation caused by the pH rising above the precipitation pH of the remaining impurities at the cathode surface, but also cannot be too low to prevent the evolution of byproduct hydrogen.
Acidic FeSO 4 electrolyte solution. Patent application CN113481540A discloses a method for preparing high-purity iron, which adopts a soluble anode, electrolyte mainly contains FeSO 4 and a small amount of stabilizer, the current density of the cathode is 100-230A/m 2, the pH value of the electrolyte is 1.00-4.00, the temperature of the electrolyte is 20-100 ℃, the purity of the electrolytically prepared iron is 99.90-99.99%, and the deposition thickness is 20 mu m-3 cm. The patent adopts a sulfuric acid system, and the soluble anode is industrial pure iron, low-carbon steel and the like, so that the electrolyte solution has higher purity. If the electrolyte purity is reduced, a plurality of side reactions, current efficiency reduction, impurity pollution and other problems are caused. Patent CN102084034B discloses an electrochemical method for recovering metallic iron or iron-rich alloy, oxygen and sulfuric acid from iron-rich metal sulfate waste (ilmenite sulfate method by-product), wherein electrolyte is iron-rich metal sulfate solution, pH of the electrolyte is 1.4-3.5, temperature of the electrolyte is 25-60 ℃, current density of a cathode used is 300-1000A/m 2, purity of prepared iron by electrolysis can reach 99.99%, and current efficiency is 95% -98%. The iron-rich metal sulfate solution in this patent must be pretreated (e.g., pH adjusted) and then electroreduced, and the acidic insoluble solids produced by this process are not readily handled. In addition, E.Mostad et al (DOI: 10.1016/j.hydromet.2007.07.014) mentioned that one of the smelters in Norway had been using pyrite (FeS 2) as a raw material during 1947 to 1957, and carried out semi-industrial tests on FeSO 4 solutions produced by calcination, sulfuric acid leaching and the like in pilot plant, to finally obtain high purity metallic iron. The process takes iron ore (pyrite) as a raw material for the first time, and produces metallic iron through electric reduction, and 1.5 multiplied by 10 5 kg of high-purity iron is produced in the two years 1955-1957, wherein the current efficiency reaches 85%, and the energy consumption is 4.25kWh/kg of iron. Badenhorst et al (DOI: 10.3390/membranes 9110137) found that the use of the novel BM-5AEM anion exchange membrane achieved a current efficiency of 95% for electrolytic iron, an energy consumption of 3.53kWh/kg iron, better stability and lower energy consumption than existing Pyror process flows. Meanwhile, the study found that when the concentration of iron in the solution was less than 5g/L, the side reaction of the cathode resulted in a decrease in the process efficiency. However, these documents mainly use pyrite or ferrous sulfate as a raw material, and are less studied for a wider range of hematite or magnetite. Patent applications WO2022204379A1 and WO2022197954A1 disclose a process for producing pure iron from iron ore and for removing impurities from the solution by first thermally reducing one or more non-magnetite iron oxide components of the iron ore in the presence of a reducing agent to form magnetite, then dissolving the magnetite using an acid to form an acidic iron salt solution, partially separating undissolved impurities, and then subjecting the acidic iron salt to electrolysis to obtain high purity iron, the remaining solution being recycled back to the acidolysis tank. However, the reducing agent mentioned in the patent is mainly hydrogen, and the hydrogen is generated by the chemical reaction of iron metal and acid, so that the cost is increased by adding iron metal, and meanwhile, a great amount of hydrogen and heat are easily and instantaneously generated by the exothermic reaction, so that the device and the safety are greatly influenced. In addition, the method reduces iron ore into magnetite by thermal reduction, that is, reduces the valence state of part of iron in the iron ore by thermal reduction means so as to promote dissolution of the ore, mainly because the higher the reduction degree of iron in the iron ore, the higher the leaching rate (DOI: 10.3321/j. Issn: 1005-3026.2008.12.017), but there is no mention in the patent of how reduction of the iron ore is achieved in an efficient manner, and the heat generated in the process cannot be recycled. In addition, the acidity of the acid used in the method for dissolving magnetite is high, and the acidity of the solution recycled back to the acidolysis tank after electrolysis is low, so that the problem that the magnetite is difficult to dissolve due to unmatched acidity is easily caused. Patent applications WO2022204387A1, WO2022204391A1 and WO2022204394A1 disclose a method for iron ore dissolution, conversion and systematic operation, in which iron-containing ore is dissolved into an acidic iron salt solution, fe 3+ is reduced in a first electrolytic cell to form Fe 2+, the Fe 2+ formed is subsequently transferred from the first electrolytic cell to a second electrolytic cell for reduction to high purity iron, and the remaining solution is returned to the dissolution tank. In the method, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and an Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) are respectively adopted in the first electrolytic cell and the second electrolytic cell, and the types of the diaphragms of the electrolytic cells are increased by two different types of ion membranes, so that the use cost is increased. Also, it is mentioned in the patent that the volume of solution entering the cathode compartment is smaller than the volume of solution entering the anode compartment in the second electrolytic cell, which increases the complexity of the process and at the same time will lead to a reduced efficiency of iron utilization. Because hydrochloric acid is also used for dissolving magnetite in the patent, the introduction of chloride ions can lead to the occurrence of competitive reaction of the anode, increase the risk of separating out chlorine, and simultaneously easily aggravate the loss of an ionic membrane and increase the cost. In addition, the patent does not propose recycling of the precipitated oxygen.
Currently, ferrous electrolytes in acidic solution electroreduction iron production generally take ferrous iron as a main component, and raw materials mainly come from pyrite and ilmenite containing ferrous iron. When using the wider hematite or magnetite as raw materials, the related reports are less, and a series of new problems are faced: the acid production of the electroreduction anode is not matched with the acidity of the leaching electrode, and the acidity of the leaching final acid is not matched with the acidity of the electroreduction cathode, so that sulfuric acid medium is difficult to circulate, acidolysis is strengthened, water in membrane (ionic membrane) electroreduction is circulated, ferric sulfate solution is purified, acidolysis/purification slag is difficult to use, and the like. In summary, the current technology for producing iron by hydrogen reduction or electric reduction still has a restriction bottleneck. Therefore, by technological innovation, the development of a systematic new low-carbon electrometallurgical technology of iron ore has important significance.
