The invention relates to a method and
system for converting
sodium-containing and
fluorine-containing compounds in a waste
cathode carbon block of an aluminum
electrolytic cell. The conversion methodcomprises the step that a conversion agent is used for converting the
sodium-containing compound in the waste
cathode carbon block of the aluminum
electrolytic cell into a
fluorine-free soluble sodiumcompound, converting the
fluorine-containing compound into an insoluble and harmless mineral fluorine compound and converting a
cyanide-containing compound into harmless N2 or NH3 and CO2 in an oxidized manner through a mechanochemical
conversion reaction in a conversion mill, and therefore the hazards of
fluoride and
cyanide in the waste
cathode carbon block of the aluminum
electrolytic cell arecompletely eliminated. The conversion
system comprises a waste cathode carbon block crushing device, a milling device, the conversion mill, a stirred reactor and a
solid-liquid separation device which are sequentially connected in series, and the
solid-liquid separation device is then directly connected with a concentration or
crystallization device and a
drying or heat treatment device, and thedrying or heat treatment device is connected to the crushing device. By means of the method and
system, the process is simple,
mass production is easy, the production cost is low,
pollution of three wastes is avoided, and the method and system are
environmentally friendly.
