Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of recycling waste aluminum packaging into chemical compounds, particularly into aluminum sulfate, and a device for carrying out this method.
  • Aluminum removed from waste is processed in other areas of human activity, particularly in the production of pure iriorganic elements or compounds.
  • One of these compounds is the aluminum salt of sulfuric acid, more specifically aluminum sulfate.
  • Aluminum sulfate is formed by a chemical reaction with sulfuric acid, in which it is allowed to dissolve. Sulfuric acid should not be too concentrated, otherwise passivating layers are created on the surface of the aluminum that prevent further dissolution of aluminum in sulfuric acid unless other ambient conditions are changed, such as pressure, temperature, or the presence of a reaction catalyst.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for the production of aluminum sulfate, particularly from aluminum contained in waste.
  • the waste is sorted, ground to fine particles, washed, dried, and subject to high temperatures as waste pulp until the occurrence of pyrolytic separation of the other substances, such as residues of organic products and colors.
  • the aluminum- containing ash is then mixed with sulfuric acid at a reaction temperature ranging from 80° to 100° C.
  • the aluminum reacts with the acid, forming a solution containing aluminum sulfate which is subsequently separated from the solution.
  • Patent document CZ 231280 presents a method for manufacturing aluminum sulfate from pure aluminum in which sulfuric acid, in a concentration of 35% to 65% and a temperature ranging from 40° to 110° C, is sprinkled into an atmosphere of inert gas.
  • the disadvantage of this solution lies in the fact that the aluminum used comes directly from production and could be used as material in other areas of human activity, and therefore the cost of thus produced aluminum sulfate is too high.
  • the device comprises a preparation area for waste aluminum where aluminum is separated, shredded, and stored, further comprising a reactor in which the chemical conversion of waste aluminum occurs, a gas circuit for replacing the explosive mixture of air and hydrogen in the device with pure hydrogen and for the removal of the produced hydrogen from the reactor, a water circuit for supplying the hydrogen washing device with water for diluting the chemicals, a heat circuit for the removal of heat from the reactor and for heating the water in the water circuit
  • a reactor in which the chemical conversion of waste aluminum occurs
  • a gas circuit for replacing the explosive mixture of air and hydrogen in the device with pure hydrogen and for the removal of the produced hydrogen from the reactor
  • a water circuit for supplying the hydrogen washing device with water for diluting the chemicals
  • a heat circuit for the removal of heat from the reactor and for heating the water in the water circuit
  • the objective of the invention is to provide a method for recycling waste aluminum and a device for carrying out this method in which the waste aluminum is shredded into small iparticles and is mixed with sulfuric acid at elevated temperatures, which would be ienvironmen tally friendly, which would not release hazardous substances into the atmosphere, which would primarily process secondary waste aluminum, which would produce pure aluminum sulfate, and which could be universally applied to other products.
  • waste aluminum is initially shredded into particles sized from 1 mm to 10 mm, and then at elevated temperatures it reacts with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen and aluminum sulfate.
  • the essence of the invention consists in that the waste aluminum, after shredded, is washed in a liquid comprising an aqueous caustic solution in a concentration ranging from 0.2% to 15% by weight to remove impurities and greases from the waste aluminum, then rinsed with water, then a washing liquid is used containing impurities and partially dissolved neutralized waste aluminum to neutralize with neutralization acid, thus forming water containing impurities and salts of neutralization acid, and finally the water is separated from the impurities and salts of the neutralization acid, wherein the diluted caustic solution used is at least one caustic solution from the group NaOH and OH, and the neutralizing acid used is at least one acid from the group H 2 S0 4> HN0 3 , and H 3 P0 4 .
  • Waste aluminum is dirty; it is usually still printed or glued, and it needs to be cleaned.
  • a caustic solution such as a corrosive is very effective on organic residues and inorganic types of impurities (colors, labels, packaging). Since this is a corrosive, the caustic solution from the washing liquid should be neutralized by acid while taking advantage of the fact that the neutralization produces salt and water, which can be further processed.
  • the concentration of the caustic solution is limited because a higher concentration of caustic solution in the water no longer increases the desired effect of cleaning the waste aluminum, so therefore a further increase in the concentration would be uneconomic.
  • the caustic solution used to create the corrosive solution is at least one caustic solution from the group NaOH and KOH, and the neutralizing acid used is at least one acid from the group H2SO4, HNO3 and 3 ⁇ 4P0 4 .
  • the neutralizing salts of these input substances are in demand in industry and are used in other applications of the chemical industry.
  • the water created by the neutralization of the washing of the liquid after separation of the impurities is used for rinsing the waste aluminum or for preparing the washing of the liquid, wherein after reaching a concentration of salts in the salt-containing water a neutralizing acid of the amount of 25 g 1 to 50 g/1, then 30% to 50% of the total volume of water is pumped out to the separation of the neutralization salts, and the remaining 50% to 70% of water is diluted with pure water to 100% of the original volume.
  • the use of one and the same water is ecological while at the same time the concentration of salts is increased, which subsequently separate. It is more economical to separate a salt a single time in a higher concentration than it is to perform a continuous separation of salts.
  • the salts of the neutralizing acid are separated in the liquid or solid phase. Other separation is carried out for each of the salts according to its technological difficulty.
  • the hydrogen formed from the reaction of waste aluminum, and. sulfuric acid is used for heating chemicals, waste aluminum, and water. Hydrogen is a good source of heat during incineration and is also very clean because only water vapor is released during its combustion.
  • Part of the invention is also a device for carrying out a method according to the invention.
  • the device for recycling waste aluminum through a reaction of aluminum shredded to a particle size from 1 mm to 10 mm with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen and aluminum sulfate includes a waste aluminimi preparation area for purifying waste aluminum, for slrredding it into small particles, and for storing it. It further comprises a reactor for mixing the waste aluminum with sulfuric acid, for its reaction, and for its heating. Further, the device includes a gas circuit for distributing hydrogen throughout the device, a water circuit for distributing new or used water in the device, a thermal circuit for the production and distribution of heat, and a chemical preparation area for the preparation and separation of chemicals.
  • the essence of the invention consists in that part of the waste aluminum preparation area includes at least one washing tank for filling the washing liquid which is adapted for the .neutralization of the used washing liquid, and/or at least one neutralizing tank adapted fcr the retention and neutralization of the used washing liquid from the washing tank.
  • the cleaned aluminum is removed from the washing liquid and the used washing liquid, which is corrosive, must be safely neutralized. This can be done directly in the washing tank, or the used washing liquid can be pumped into the neutralizing tank, while another batch of aluminum waste is already prepared in the washing tank.
  • the washing tank and neutralization tank form a single body.
  • the used washing liquid does not need to laboriously pumped; the neutralization is carried out immediately after washing the waste aluminum.
  • the neutralizing tank is connected through the water circuit to the waste aluminum preparatory area or to the chemical preparatory area.
  • the water circuit transports water formed by the neutralization back to a new cycle of use, or to the separation of salts of the neutralizing acids.
  • the reactor is connected with a gas circuit, which is connected to the thermal circuit, which includes a combustion chamber for the production of heat.
  • the consumption of the produced hydrogen allows for the thermal self-sufficiency of the entire device.
  • the advantages of the present invention consist in the processing of waste aluminum, in the sustainable approach to the environment, in the economic use of the input materials, in the possibility of producing several different products with the same resources, and in energy self-sufficiency.
