Problems solved by technology

It can be seen that the composition of spent electrolytes is complex, which brings great challenges to the separation and extraction of valuable components.
Chinese patent application specification CN108677020A, CN110668483A, CN111517349A, CN109759423A and CN110194478A etc. provide a series of wet treatment process of waste electrolyte, all adopt acid or (and) aluminum salt to process waste electrolyte, use cryolite, aluminum fluoride or hydroxyl fluoride Recovering aluminum and fluorine elements in the electrolyte in the form of aluminum, etc., the process is long, the recovery rate is low, the acidic leachate has high requirements for equipment, and the further treatment of the wastewater generated in the process is still a problem
Recently, the Chinese patent application specification CN111485252A provides a dry processing process similar to the above-mentioned RU2462418C1 patent. Its hydrate polymer, etc.; in fact, the boiling point of aluminum chloride is 181 ° C, which is not conducive to the reaction at too low a temperature, and aluminum chloride is gaseous at a high temperature, and it is difficult to contact with fluorine-containing materials. Pollution; aluminum nitrate begins to decompose at about 135°C to produce highly toxic nitrogen oxides
[0005] In general, the cores of the above-mentioned RU2462418C1 and CN111485252A are to use aluminum sulfate and fluorine-containing waste electrolyte to carry out solid phase reaction at high temperature, and to recover valuable aluminum fluorine in the form of aluminum fluoride, which requires high processing temperature; however, The efficiency of solid-phase reaction is low and the conversion rate is not high, which leads to low utilization rate of raw materials and low content of effective aluminum fluoride in the product. At the same time, solid-phase reaction is not conducive to mass transfer and crystallization, and the particle size of aluminum fluoride produced is too fine and has poor fluidity. Not good for AlF 3 Automatic unloading

Embodiment 1

[0038] The steps of the method for treating the fluorine-containing waste electrolyte of the present embodiment are as follows:

[0039] (1) Take 50kg of waste electrolyte from an electrolytic aluminum plant (XRF fluorescence analysis: F 49.68wt.%, Na 21.48wt.%, Al14.48%, Ca 5.46, K 5.13wt.%, O 2.59wt.%, Mg 0.57 wt.%, S 0.18wt.%), crushed to less than 2mm to obtain waste electrolyte powder for use;

[0040] (2) Take 100kg of aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate and heat it up to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min, keep the temperature for 2 hours, then heat up to 400°C, keep the temperature for 2 hours, and crush it to less than 2 mm after cooling, and weigh to obtain anhydrous aluminum sulfate powder 51.5 kg for use;

[0041] (3) Take 48kg of waste electrolyte powder, 43kg of anhydrous aluminum sulfate powder and 1.5kg of sodium carbonate and mix them evenly, and then ball mill to pass through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain mixed powder.

[0042] (4) Put the mixed powder obtained in step ...

Embodiment 2

[0047] Take 50kg of the same waste electrolyte as in Example 1, change the temperature in step (4) to 600 ° C, and other conditions remain unchanged, repeat the steps (1)-(6) of Example 1, and finally obtain 38.6kg of aluminum fluoride product, Got by-product potassium sulfate 10.8kg, by-product sodium sulfate 40.5kg. The obtained aluminum fluoride was detected, and the results are shown in Table 1.

Embodiment 3

[0049] Example 1 was repeated, and the difference was only that: the temperature in step (4) was controlled to 580° C., and the obtained aluminum fluoride product was detected. The results are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for efficiently treating fluorine-containing waste electrolyte. Additives and reaction aids are added to the waste electrolyte, mixed uniformly and ground to less than 0.355mm, roasted, cooled at a specific rate and then crushed and washed to obtain an aluminum fluoride product , the filtrate is concentrated to further extract other by-products. The present invention reduces the primary crystal temperature of the system by adding a reaction assistant, so that the reaction is carried out in a molten state, the mass transfer efficiency is high, the reaction conversion rate is high, and the effective aluminum fluoride content in the product is high; at the same time, the holding time and cooling rate are further controlled, The aluminum fluoride grains produced by the reaction grow up, and the obtained aluminum fluoride has good fluidity, which is well compatible with the current automatic feeding equipment of industrial aluminum electrolytic cells, and realizes the green and sustainable development of the electrolytic aluminum industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for treating fluorine-containing waste electrolyte, and belongs to the field of metallurgical solid waste recovery and treatment. Background technique [0002] Fluorine-containing waste electrolyte is one of the main solid wastes produced in the process of aluminum electrolysis, which mainly comes from three aspects: one is the electrolyte that is removed during the operation of the electrolytic cell to stabilize the molecular ratio; the other is the waste electrolyte mixed in the residual anode ; The third is the electrolyte mixed in the waste cathode when the tank is overhauled. It is understood that the production of ton of aluminum often requires the production of various waste electrolytes of 20-30kg. At present, in industry, fluorine-containing waste electrolytes are generally disposed of by stacking, which not only occupies the effective space of electrolytic aluminum enterprises, but also soluble fluorine may ...
