Abstract

The invention relates to a comprehensive resource recycling method for waste cathode carbon blocks of aluminum cells and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of waste solid resources. The method includes the steps that the waste cathode carbon blocks of the aluminum cells are broken, so that spare particles are obtained; the particles are heated to the temperature of 200-400 DEG C, and flotation is carried out after the temperature is preserved, so that carbon slag and electrolyte slag are obtained; the electrolyte slag is heated to the temperature of 550-800 DEG C, the temperature is preserved, and then electrolyte powder is obtained; the carbon slag is added into alkali liquor for leaching, filtering is carried out after leaching, and filter residues and filtrate are obtained; the obtained filtrate is heated to the temperature of 60-90 DEG C and then subjected to evaporative crystallization, a solid A is separated out, filtering is carried out, and the solid A and residual fluid are obtained; and aluminum hydroxide seeds are added into the residual fluid, the mixture is heated to the temperature of 25-60 DEG C, the temperature is preserved, filtering is obtained, and a solid B and tail fluid are obtained. The method is reasonable in technical design, high in processing efficiency, high in matter recovery rate and recycling utilization ratio, free of secondary pollution and suitable for large-scale industrial application.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a comprehensive recycling treatment method for the resource utilization of waste cathode carbon blocks of an aluminum electrolytic cell, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of solid waste resources. technical background [0002] Since 2001, China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity has ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. In 2015, the output of primary aluminum was approximately 31.41 million tons. The current aluminum electrolysis adopts the Hall-Elu process. During the production process, the electrolyte infiltration, high-temperature aluminum liquid and metal sodium erodes the bottom of the cell, which causes the aluminum electrolysis cell to stop and replace the lining after 3-6 years of operation. . Studies have shown that for every 1 ton of electrolytic aluminum produced, about 10 kg of waste cathode materials are produced. Based on this calculation, my country produced mo...
