Preparation method of used oil collecting agent for low-rank coal flotation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral flotation, and relates to a preparation method of a used oil collecting agent for low-rank coal flotation.
Background
Coal is the main energy source in China, accounts for 60-70% of the total energy consumption in China in an energy structure of nearly 10 years, and is the main energy source for the current development in China. The efficient clean utilization of coal is the current foot point of energy development in China, and the status of the coal as a main energy source cannot be changed for a long time. The low rank coal resource occupies about half of the reserves of the coal resources in China. The low-rank coal has low coalification degree and rich surface oxygen-containing functional groups. For coal slime of low-rank coal, the conventional flotation method and flotation collector have low efficiency and poor benefit. The search for the flotation collector of the high-efficiency coal slime is one of effective methods for improving the treatment capacity of the low-rank coal and cleanly producing the high-quality low-rank coal.
The used oil is one of the used lubricating oils, and is a dangerous waste regulated by the state. In 2018, the consumption of the lubricating oil in China is about 880 ten thousand tons, and according to the estimation of the elimination rate of the lubricating oil in China of 60 percent, in China, about 490 ten thousand tons of waste lubricating oil are generated every year. 167 thousands of cars are disassembled and recovered in 2018, 89.5 thousands of cars are disassembled and recovered in the first half of 2019, and the car disassembling industry in China can produce a large amount of waste engine oil every year. The waste engine oil is polluted by high-temperature and high-pressure oxidation, thermal decomposition and impurities in a mechanical motion working environment, and the physicochemical properties of the waste engine oil reach respective oil change standards, so that the waste engine oil becomes a harmful pollutant oil.
Coal slime flotation is to separate coal from impurities by utilizing the difference of the surface hydrophobicity of the coal and gangue, and the addition of a collecting agent plays a crucial role in the process. The collecting agent selectively acts on the surface of coal through physical or chemical adsorption, and the surface hydrophobicity difference between the coal and gangue is improved. The coal adsorbing the collecting agent is easier to adhere to the bubbles, so that the separation of the coal and the gangue can be completed. The selectivity and the collector performance of the collector are two important indexes for measuring the performance of the collector. Coal is heterogeneous organic matter, and the lower the coalification degree, the more alkane side chains and oxygen-containing functional groups are on the surface of the coal. Therefore, the collector is preferably a reasonably composed mixture of various nonpolar hydrocarbon oils. The oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the low-rank coal are rich in impurities, so that the effect of using the oxygen-containing organic oil as the collecting agent is better. The waste engine oil can strengthen the flotation effect of the low-rank coal to a certain extent. The used oil is mainly composed of a large amount of aromatic hydrocarbon components and alkane components. The proportion of the oxidation substances such as carboxylic acid, ester, ketone, alcohol and the like is reported to be lower and less than 20 percent. The waste engine oil has high content of heavy metal ions, mechanical impurities and solid impurities, and the environment can be polluted by directly using the waste engine oil as a flotation collector.
The waste engine oil is deeply oxidized by a controllable oxidation method, so that the content of various oxygen-containing organic matters can be improved, and the performance of the waste engine oil as a low-rank coal flotation collector is further enhanced; various metal ions and solid impurities in the waste engine oil form precipitates under the oxidation reaction, so that the precipitates can be separated from the waste engine oil more easily, and the pollution of the waste engine oil is reduced.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a used oil collecting agent for low-rank coal flotation, which is used for reducing the pollution degree of used oil and enhancing the effect of the used oil in the application of the low-rank coal collecting agent. Aiming at waste engine oil and waste lubricating oil, ozone is used for carrying out controllable deep oxidation on oil, and the components of the waste oil are improved.
A preparation method of a used oil collector for low-rank coal flotation comprises the following steps:
(1) producing mixed gas of oxygen and ozone by an ozone generator;
(2) introducing the mixed gas obtained in the step (1) into a contact reaction chamber through a pressurizing tank and an air pump, and carrying out contact reaction on the mixed gas and the waste oil raw material through an aeration disc arranged in the contact reaction chamber;
(3) and after the contact reaction is finished, discharging the reacted waste engine oil product, and filtering out solid precipitates and impurities through a filter screen to obtain the waste engine oil collecting agent.
Further, in the step (1), the concentration of ozone in the ozone generator is monitored in real time through an ultraviolet light analyzer and a gas flowmeter, and the concentration of ozone is controlled to be 20-50 mg/L.
Furthermore, in the step (2), 1.0-1.5kg/h of ozone is correspondingly used for each 1kg of used oil raw material, and the contact reaction time is 3-5 h.
Further, in the step (2), during the contact reaction, stirring is performed by a ribbon stirrer.
Further, in the step (2), the content of ozone overflowing from the contact reaction chamber is monitored by an ultraviolet light analyzer, and when the concentration of the overflowing ozone is higher than 10-20mg/L, the overflowing gas is circulated and refilled into the contact reaction chamber; when the concentration of the overflowed ozone is lower than 10mg/L and the reaction time is longer than 3h, the overflowed gas is treated as tail gas.
Furthermore, the aperture of the aeration discs is 10-40 μm, and the aeration discs are uniformly distributed on the bottom and the side wall of the contact reaction chamber.
Furthermore, the lining of the contact reaction chamber is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.
Furthermore, the aperture of the filter screen is 200-400 meshes, and 1-2 channels are arranged on the filter screen.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the improved collecting agent is waste engine oil, and is a secondary utilization of waste resources; compared with the traditional collecting agents such as kerosene, diesel oil and the like, the waste engine oil has better flotation effect and lower economic cost. In the composition of the waste engine oil oxidized by ozone, long-chain alkane and cyclane can interact with the side chain of organic alkane on the surface of coal; the functional groups of aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid and alcohol formed by oxidation can react with the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the coal. The organic matter composition of the used oil collecting agent produced by the method is complex, so that the method has good collecting property and selectivity on heterogeneous coal. Heavy metal ions and solid impurities in the waste engine oil are easy to coalesce to form solid precipitates after the strong oxidation of ozone, and the pollution of the waste engine oil can be reduced through subsequent filtering removal.
