Technical Field
The invention relates to a process method and a device for preparing fumed silica and recovering metals by taking industrial waste residues containing silicate as raw materials, belonging to the technical field of chemical purification and environmental protection.
Background
Since the innovation is open, China makes great progress in science and technology and develops the economy rapidly; the method is particularly and rapidly developed in the aspects of mining, metal smelting, coal-fired power plants, chemical industry, building materials and the like; meanwhile, a large amount of industrial waste residues are discharged in the industrial development process: such as: copper slag, magnesium slag, nickel slag, aluminum sulfate slag, lithium slag, blast furnace slag, iron alloy slag, lead-zinc slag, granulated circuit phosphorus slag and the like; also non-metallic ore waste residues: such as kaolin, feldspar, talc, pyrophyllite, bentonite, attapulgite, palygorskite, serpentine, wollastonite and other mineral waste residues; the main components of the waste residues are ferric oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, potassium oxide, sodium oxide and non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper and the like. According to the data provided by the national statistical department: in 2004, the industrial waste residue is 12 hundred million tons, and in 2009, 20 hundred million tons of … … are broken through; if the industrial waste residues are not utilized, on one hand: the large amount of stockpiling not only occupies a large amount of land, but also causes serious air pollution, soil pollution and water resource pollution, harms the natural environment and human health, and becomes a public nuisance in the social development process. On the other hand, the industrial waste residue is a secondary resource, has great utilization value, and if the industrial waste residue is subjected to harmless and resource treatment, the secondary resource is scientifically, reasonably and efficiently utilized, so that the method has very important practical significance for implementing energy conservation and emission reduction, environmental protection and harmonious development of people and nature in the current society.
The raw materials for preparing the white carbon black by the vapor phase method are silicon tetrachloride, oxygen (or air) and hydrogen which are reacted at high temperature. The chemical reaction formula is as follows: SiCl4+2H2+O2->SiO2+4HCl, silicon tetrachloride is gasified at high temperature (flame temperature is 1000-1800 ℃), and then is subjected to gas phase hydrolysis with a certain amount of hydrogen and oxygen (or air) at high temperature of about 1800 ℃; at the moment, the generated fumed silica particles are extremely fine and form aerosol with gas, so that the aerosol is not easy to trap, and therefore the fumed silica particles are firstly gathered into larger particles in a collector, then the larger particles are collected by a cyclone separator and then sent into a deacidification furnace, and the fumed silica is blown by nitrogen-containing air until the pH value is 4-6, so that the finished product is obtained. The method is adopted by most of the enterprises producing the fumed silica in China at present, and is also a universal international production method of the fumed silica. China also has enterprises to produce fumed silica by adopting methyltrichlorosilane and successfully finishes industrialized production. The existing production process of fumed silica not only has a high-temperature process, but also uses hydrogen and oxygen which are very dangerous, flammable and explosive, and the operating environment of workers is relatively hard in the production process; the requirement on the safety coefficient is high. Relevant data and Chinese patent documents are consulted, and no relevant report of producing the fumed silica by using other raw materials is found.
If the industrial waste residue can be processed and utilized for the second time, and the industrial waste residue is combined with the preparation of the fumed silica to be used for preparing the fumed silica product, the two technical problems in the field can be solved, and the preparation method has obvious progress.

The detailed preparation process of the invention is explained in detail by taking industrial waste residue produced by certain mining company in Hubei as an example, and the content of each component in the industrial waste residue is analyzed as follows: SiO 22:30.73%;Al2O3:1.32%,Fe2O3:5.95%;CaO:50.65%;K2O:0.08%;MgO:11.30%;SO3:0.10%;Na2O: 0.10 percent. The specific production steps are as follows:
(1) mixing one or two of hydrofluoric acid and fluosilicic acid with nitric acid to prepare mixed acid liquid, wherein the hydrofluoric acid, the fluosilicic acid and the nitric acid are all in industrial grade; or industrial by-products can be adopted. Preferably, the mass concentration or volume concentration of the hydrofluoric acid is 2-30%, the mass concentration or volume concentration of the fluosilicic acid is 10-30%, and the mass concentration or volume concentration of the nitric acid is 2-40%.
Grinding the industrial waste residue to the fineness of below 200 meshes, removing iron by magnetic separation, concentrating and dehydrating slurry subjected to magnetic separation and gravity separation to obtain silicate mineral powder for later use, wherein the silicate mineral powder is optimally used after being dried, but the corresponding cost is increased.
(2) And putting the mixed acid liquid into the reaction kettle, starting a stirring device of the reaction kettle and a waste gas absorption device in the reaction system, and slowly putting the silicate mineral powder into the reaction kettle.
(3) And if the added mixed acid liquid contains hydrofluoric acid, because the reaction process of the hydrofluoric acid and the silicon dioxide is a heat release process, a cooling water valve outside the reaction kettle needs to be opened to maintain the reaction temperature at 75-85 ℃. If the added mixed acid liquid does not contain hydrofluoric acid but contains fluosilicic acid, a steam valve of a jacket of the reaction kettle and a heat source valve arranged on the kettle outer wall of a spiral tetrafluoro capillary tube bundle arranged on the inner wall of the kettle are required to be opened to slowly heat the reaction kettle.
