Description

本発明は、レアアースを含有する泥を原料として用いた、粒状の土工資材(例えば、埋め戻し材等)、およびその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a granular earthwork material (for example, backfill material) using a rare earth-containing mud as a raw material, and a method for producing the same.

レアアースは、ネオジム・鉄・ボロン磁石、LED電球、燃料電池等に用いられる原料として、最先端技術産業に不可欠な元素であり、近年、その需要も急増している。一方、レアアースの寡占的産出国であった中国が、輸出奨励政策から規制強化政策へと方針を変更するなどの事情下において、レアアースの供給不足や価格高騰が懸念されており、レアアースの新たな供給源の確保が課題となっている。
このような状況下において、太平洋の広範囲に分布しているレアアースを高含有率で含む深海の泥が、レアアースの新たな供給源として注目されている。
レアアースを高含有率で含む泥(例えば、太平洋の深海の泥)は、その資源量が膨大であること、希酸中に1〜3時間浸漬するという簡易な方法で抽出することができること、トリウムやウラン等の放射性元素をほとんど含まないこと、等の数々の利点を有している。
Rare earths are indispensable elements in cutting-edge technology industries as raw materials used for neodymium / iron / boron magnets, LED bulbs, fuel cells, and the like, and in recent years, their demand has been rapidly increasing. On the other hand, under the circumstances that China, which was an oligopolistic producer of rare earths, changed its policy from an export promotion policy to a policy of strengthening regulations, there is a concern that there will be a shortage of rare earth supplies and soaring prices. Securing a supply source is an issue.
Under such circumstances, deep-sea mud containing a high content of rare earths widely distributed in the Pacific Ocean has attracted attention as a new source of rare earths.
Mud containing a high content of rare earths (eg, deep sea mud in the Pacific Ocean) has a huge amount of resources, and can be extracted by a simple method of immersing in dilute acid for 1 to 3 hours. It has a number of advantages such as almost no radioactive elements such as uranium and uranium.

In addition, the acidic mud has a problem that it has a large water content and is difficult to handle.

上述の事情下において、レアアースを含有する泥を処理して、埋め立て等の用途に利用可能な土工資材を得るための方法が知られている。
例えば、特許文献1に、レアアースを含有する泥を酸で処理した後に発生する酸性の残渣と、アルカリ性固化材(例えば、セメント)を混合して、固化体(例えば、埋め立て資材として利用可能なもの)を得ることを特徴とするレアアースを含有する残渣の固化処理方法が記載されている。
また、特許文献2に、レアアースを含有する泥を酸で処理した後に発生する酸性の残渣及び/又は該酸性の残渣の中和物を、コンクリートまたはモルタルの原料の一部(例えば、セメントの原料の一部)として使用して、コンクリート構造物を構築するコンクリート構造物構築工程を含むことを特徴とする、レアアースを含有する泥の処理方法が記載されている。
さらに、特許文献3に、レアアースを含有する泥を酸で処理した後に発生する酸性の残渣を含む焼成物製造用原料を加熱してなる、圧壊強度が1,000N以上の人工骨材が記載されている。
Under the circumstances described above, there is known a method for treating mud containing a rare earth to obtain an earthwork material that can be used for landfills and the like.
For example, in Patent Document 1, an acidic residue generated after treating a rare earth-containing mud with an acid and an alkaline solidifying material (for example, cement) are mixed to form a solidified material (for example, a material that can be used as a landfill material). ), A method for solidifying a residue containing a rare earth.
Patent Document 2 discloses that an acidic residue generated after treating a rare earth-containing mud with an acid and / or a neutralized product of the acidic residue is used as a part of a raw material of concrete or mortar (for example, a raw material of cement). The method for treating a mud containing a rare earth is described, comprising a concrete structure construction step of constructing a concrete structure by using the method as a part of a concrete structure.
Further, Patent Literature 3 describes an artificial aggregate having a crushing strength of 1,000 N or more, which is obtained by heating a raw material for producing a fired product containing an acidic residue generated after treating a mud containing a rare earth with an acid. ing.

When the firing raw material is formed into a granular material having an appropriate size, preferred particle sizes of the firing raw material according to the application are as follows.
When the use of the fired product is a lightweight coarse aggregate, or a soundproof wall, a heat insulating material, a heat shield or a gravel for crime prevention, the granulated material before heating is preferably a granule having a particle size of 5 to 40 mm. It contains the particles in a proportion of 50% by mass or more, and more preferably contains particles having a particle size of 7 to 30 mm in a ratio of 50% by mass or more.

In the present invention, since a granulation method using a granulator or a molding machine is usually employed, a granulated product having the above preferable particle size distribution can be easily obtained.

焼成物を得るための加熱温度(加熱時の最高温度)は、好ましくは1,070〜1,130℃、より好ましくは1,080〜1,120℃、特に好ましくは1,090〜1,110℃である。該温度が1,070℃以上であると、発泡による十分な軽量性を焼成物に与えることが容易になる。該温度が1,130℃以下であると、過度な溶融が生じて、減容し、密度が高い焼成物となるのを防ぐことができる。   The heating temperature (the maximum temperature during heating) for obtaining a fired product is preferably 1,070 to 1,130 ° C, more preferably 1,080 to 1,120 ° C, and particularly preferably 1,090 to 1,110 ° C. ° C. When the temperature is 1,070 ° C. or higher, it becomes easy to give the fired product sufficient lightness due to foaming. When the temperature is 1,130 ° C. or less, excessive melting occurs, the volume is reduced, and it is possible to prevent a fired product having a high density.

焼成工程における最高温度での加熱時間は、好ましくは15〜40分間、より好ましくは15〜30分間、特に好ましくは20〜25分間である。該加熱時間が15分間以上であると、造粒物が十分に膨張しながら焼成されるので、焼成物に軽量性を与えることが容易となる。該加熱時間が40分間以下であると、処理効率(本発明の粒状の土工資材の製造効率)の点で好ましい。なお、小径の造粒物と異なり、大塊の状態で焼成する場合には、大塊の内部への十分な熱伝導に多くの時間を要するため、最高温度での加熱時間は、長くなる。   The heating time at the highest temperature in the firing step is preferably 15 to 40 minutes, more preferably 15 to 30 minutes, and particularly preferably 20 to 25 minutes. When the heating time is 15 minutes or more, the granulated material is fired while expanding sufficiently, and thus it is easy to give the fired product light weight. It is preferable that the heating time is 40 minutes or less in terms of processing efficiency (production efficiency of the granular earthwork material of the present invention). In addition, unlike the small-diameter granulated material, when firing in a large lump, a large amount of time is required for sufficient heat conduction to the inside of the large lump, so that the heating time at the maximum temperature becomes long.

焼成物を得るための加熱手段としては、特に限定されるものではなく、連続式の手段とバッチ式の手段のいずれも用いることができる。
連続式の加熱手段としては、例えば、ロータリーキルン、トンネル炉等が挙げられる。
バッチ式の加熱手段としては、例えば、焼却炉(ガス等を燃料として用いるもの)、電気炉、マイクロ波加熱装置等が挙げられる。
中でも、処理の効率を高める観点から、ロータリーキルンを用いることが好ましい。
焼成工程で得られる焼成物は、通常、独立した粒体と、複数の粒体が連なった塊(2個以上の塊が融着部分を介して結合したもの)の混合物である。焼成物の全量中の独立した粒体の割合は、通常、20質量%以下である。このため、本発明において、焼成工程の後に、粒状化工程が必要である。
The heating means for obtaining the fired product is not particularly limited, and either a continuous means or a batch means can be used.
Examples of the continuous heating means include a rotary kiln and a tunnel furnace.
Examples of batch-type heating means include an incinerator (using gas or the like as fuel), an electric furnace, a microwave heating device, and the like.
Among them, it is preferable to use a rotary kiln from the viewpoint of increasing the processing efficiency.
The calcined product obtained in the calcining step is usually a mixture of independent granules and a mass of a plurality of continuous granules (a mass in which two or more masses are connected via a fused portion). The proportion of independent granules in the total amount of the fired product is usually 20% by mass or less.

その結果を表1に示す。
次いで、得られた焼成物を、破砕手段(ハンマー)を用いて破砕することによって、焼成物に含まれている、複数の粒体が連なった塊を、独立した粒体とし、本発明の粒状の土工資材を得た。
[Example 1]
The mud containing the rare earth was immersed in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid for 1 hour, and then dehydrated with a centrifugal separator so as to have a water content of 100% by mass to obtain a residue.
The residue was granulated (molded) using a plurality of types of ice trays having different recess sizes to obtain a granulated product (particle size: 5 to 30 mm).
The granulated product was dried at 105 ° C. for 12 hours, then heated in an electric furnace at a rate of 10 ° C./min, and heated at a maximum temperature of 1,100 ° C. for 20 minutes.
With respect to the obtained fired product (particle size: 5 to 35 mm after firing), the apparent density was measured and the appearance was observed.
Table 1 shows the results.
Next, the obtained calcined material is crushed using a crushing means (hammer), so that a mass of a plurality of continuous granules contained in the calcined material is converted into an independent granule, and the granular material of the present invention is obtained. Earthwork material was obtained.

[比較例1〜2]
表1に示すように最高温度を変更したこと以外は、実施例1と同様にして実験した。
ただし、比較例1では、造粒物同士の融着が生じなかったため、破砕等は、行わなかった。比較例2では、破砕によって、独立した粒体をほぼ100%の割合で得ることができた。
[比較例3〜4]
残渣(100質量部)に代えて、残渣80質量部と水酸化カルシウム20質量部の混合物を用いたこと、および、最高温度を表1に示す温度に変更したこと以外は、実施例1と同様にして実験した。
ただし、比較例3では、造粒物同士の融着が生じなかったため、破砕等は、行わなかった。比較例4では、破砕の後、得られた土工資材の全量中、粒状物(大塊以外のもの)の割合は、目視で観察したところ、10質量%以下であった。
比較例1〜4における見かけ密度および外観観察の結果を、表1に示す。
[Comparative Examples 1-2]
The experiment was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the maximum temperature was changed as shown in Table 1.
However, in Comparative Example 1, crushing and the like were not performed because no fusion of the granulated materials occurred. In Comparative Example 2, independent granules could be obtained at a rate of almost 100% by crushing.
[Comparative Examples 3 and 4]
Same as Example 1 except that a mixture of 80 parts by mass of the residue and 20 parts by mass of calcium hydroxide was used instead of the residue (100 parts by mass), and the maximum temperature was changed to the temperature shown in Table 1. And experimented.
However, in Comparative Example 3, crushing and the like were not performed because no fusion of the granules occurred. In Comparative Example 4, after crushing, the proportion of particulate matter (other than large lumps) in the total amount of the obtained earthwork material was 10% by mass or less when visually observed.
Table 1 shows the results of the apparent density and the appearance observation in Comparative Examples 1 to 4.

Figure 0006656964

表1から、実施例1では、比較例1〜4に比べて、優れた軽量性(小さな見かけ密度)を有する粒状の土工資材を得ていることがわかる。
一方、比較例1〜2では、実施例1に比べて最高温度が低いため、実施例1に比べて軽量性が劣ることがわかる。また、比較例3〜4では、水酸化カルシウムを大きな割合(20質量%)で配合しているため、実施例1と同等以上の最高温度で加熱を行ったにもかかわらず、実施例1に見られるような優れた軽量性が得られておらず、また、加熱温度の増大(比較例3の1,100℃から比較例4の1,200℃への増大)による軽量性の向上の効果も得られていないことがわかる。
From Table 1, it can be seen that in Example 1, a granular earthwork material having excellent lightness (small apparent density) was obtained as compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 4.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, since the maximum temperature is lower than that in Example 1, it can be seen that the lightness is inferior to that in Example 1. Further, in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, since calcium hydroxide was blended in a large proportion (20% by mass), the heating was performed at the highest temperature equal to or higher than that of Example 1; As seen, excellent lightness is not obtained, and the effect of improving lightness by increasing the heating temperature (from 1,100 ° C. in Comparative Example 3 to 1,200 ° C. in Comparative Example 4). It can be seen that the same was not obtained.
