Problems solved by technology

[0005] (1) The flotation wastewater is directly discharged without treatment, causing environmental pollution
[0006] (2) There are a large number of ions in the pulp of flotation operation, which affects the selection index
[0007] Patent CN101480658A proposes to use flotation method to comprehensively treat waste cathodes, and use wet grinding to grind ore. The wastewater from grinding operation and flotation operation is concentrated and then processed. The wastewater treatment capacity is large, and the wastewater contains a large number of ions, which affects the flotation index; Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is needed to adjust the pH of the pulp during the flotation process, which increases the cost

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for sorting waste aluminum electrolytic cathodes. The method comprises the steps of carrying out crushing and blending treatment on sorted waste cathodes to obtain waste cathode fragments; grinding the waste cathode fragments to obtain crushed ores; soaking the crushed ores with water, and then carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain dissolved ore bodies; and carrying out flotation treatment on the dissolved ore bodies to obtain carbon products and electrolyte products respectively. According to the method, a way of crushing, blending and then ore grinding is adopted for the waste cathodes, so that the uniformity of composition and the like of treated materials can be guaranteed, thus being beneficial to the improvement of a treatment effect; meanwhile, dissolution treatment is adopted for the ground waste cathode materials simultaneously, soluble parts are dissolved and separated to eliminate the impact of the soluble parts on subsequent flotation operation, and flotation can be carried out on the waste cathode materials directly after the dissolution treatment without adjusting the PH. The method for comprehensively recycling waste aluminum electrolytic cathodes, provided by the invention, is simple and feasible, low in production cost and good in production index.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of comprehensive recycling and environmental protection of waste electrolytic aluminum cathodes, and relates to a method for separating and purifying waste electrolytic aluminum cathodes, which is suitable for comprehensive recycling and utilization of waste electrolytic aluminum cathodes. technical background [0002] In the process of aluminum electrolysis, the carbon cathode is swollen and scrapped due to the penetration of impurities such as fluorine and sodium. It needs to be overhauled and replaced every 3 to 5 years. The waste cathode generated during the overhaul process is one of the main solid wastes generated by the aluminum industry. . According to reports, for every ton of aluminum produced, about 30-50kg of waste cathodes are produced. With the increase of aluminum production year by year, a large amount of waste cathodes are produced in my country every year. Taking 2013 as an example, the a...
