Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of aluminium hydroxide, especially relate to a kind of method of utilizing the aluminium ash to prepare aluminium hydroxide.
Background technology
In the processing fusion process of aluminium, can produce partial oxidation and nitrogenize usually, generate aluminum oxide and aluminium nitride, these aluminum oxide and aluminium nitride and part metallic aluminium mix, and have just become the aluminium slag.For a long time, have many enterprises to utilize the aluminium slag to come processing regenerated aluminium, but the aluminium slag is through refining a great problem that remaining aluminium ash behind the secondary aluminum has but become to perplex for many years people.
The composition of aluminium ash is very complicated, based on aluminum oxide and aluminium nitride, a spot of metallic aluminium, iron, nickel, zinc, manganese, copper, silicon etc. are still arranged, pile up like a mountain everywhere for the aluminium ash that the processing regenerated aluminium industry of aluminium slag is produced, soil and ecotope have been caused very big pressure, can decomposite ammonia after aluminium nitride in the aluminium ash makes moist in air in addition, breath malodor is unpleasant and toxic, also can cause bigger pollution to atmosphere.Therefore, the problem of environmental pollution that caused of aluminium ash has restricted further developing of the processing regenerated aluminium industry of aluminium slag.
In fact, contain higher renewable resources in the aluminium ash, single with aluminum oxide calculating, alumina content reaches 60~80% approximately, if can be used, and turns waste into wealth, and not only has good economic benefit, and has good environment and ecological benefits.At present existing people attempts utilizing aluminium ash processing aluminium salt, and main method is to adopt hydrochloric acid to process aluminium chlorohydroxide.Because the aluminum oxide phase inversion becomes αYang Hualv under the high temperature, be insoluble to bronsted lowry acids and bases bronsted lowry, therefore this method has only been utilized a spot of metallic aluminium in the aluminium ash, and a large amount of aluminum oxide is not utilized well, not only cause the waste of resource, and employed hydrochloric acid also can cause secondary pollution to environment.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of method of utilizing the aluminium ash to prepare aluminium hydroxide, not only can effectively utilize aluminium ash preparation aluminium hydroxide, can also eliminate of the pollution of aluminium ash effectively, and avoid in the course of processing, environment being caused secondary pollution environment.
The present invention solves the problems of the technologies described above the technical scheme that is adopted: a kind of method of utilizing the aluminium ash to prepare aluminium hydroxide, and it may further comprise the steps: 1. the aluminium ash is mixed stirring with solid sodium carbonate by weight 100: 80~120; 2. with solid mixture fusion 1~5 hour under 900 ℃~1500 ℃ conditions; 3. melts is put into clear water and soaked more than 10 hours, remove remaining sodium aluminate solution behind the throw out; 4. sodium aluminate in molar ratio: sulfuric acid is 2: 0.9~1.1 to add sulfuric acid in sodium aluminate solution; 5. use strainer to carry out solid-liquid separation, obtain aluminum hydroxide precipitate and metabisulfite solution respectively; 6. aluminum hydroxide precipitate is promptly obtained the aluminium hydroxide finished product after dry under 20~80 ℃ the temperature and pulverizing.
1. add fusing assistant in step in, the aluminium ash is 100: 80~120: 10~20 with the weight ratio of solid sodium carbonate and fusing assistant; 2. with solid mixture fusion 1~5 hour under 900 ℃~1180 ℃ conditions.
Described fusing assistant can be a borax.
3. described step is melts to be cooled to put into water after the room temperature again and soak more than 10 hours, removes remaining sodium aluminate solution behind the throw out.
4. described step is sodium aluminate in molar ratio: sulfuric acid is 2: 0.9~1.1 to add sulfuric acid in sodium aluminate solution, and precipitation was carried out solid-liquid separation more than 2 hours.
Can obtain the industrial chemicals Sodium sulfate anhydrous.min(99) after the metabisulfite solution evaporation drying that 5. step is obtained.
Throw out behind the 3. middle extraction sodium aluminate solution of step is free of contamination red mud.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the advantages that the use solid phase method extracts the aluminium hydroxide in the aluminium ash, make aluminum oxide solid and the frit reaction at high temperature of yellow soda ash solid and generate sodium aluminate, the aqueous solution and sulfuric acid reaction with sodium aluminate generates aluminium hydroxide product and sodium sulfate byproduct then, not only method is simple, and with low cost, and the whole aluminium compositions in the aluminium ash all can be extracted, not only renewable resource can be utilized fully, and secondary pollution can not be produced; And remaining red mud composition is that iron, nickel, zinc, manganese, copper, silicon etc. are the natural composition in the soil, and back to nature can not cause any pollution to environment; The adding fusing assistant can reduce the melt temperature of aluminium ash and solid sodium carbonate; Be cooled to and put into water after the room temperature again and soak and to avoid forming immobilized particles and will add melts behind the fusing assistant; In sodium aluminate solution, add sulfuric acid and can make all resultant of reaction all obtain utilizing, thereby avoid remaining refuse that environment is caused secondary pollution.
