Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a mechanical activation combined oxygen pressure leaching method for extracting aluminum oxide from fly ash, which utilizes sodium pyrosulfate to mechanically activate the fly ash, and utilizes a sodium persulfate high pressure leaching method to effectively destroy stable crystal phases such as mullite, corundum and the like in the fly ash, so that a higher Al extraction rate is obtained under milder conditions.
In order to achieve the above object, the technical scheme of the present invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a persulfate high-pressure leaching method for extracting aluminum oxide from fly ash comprises the following steps:
1) Calcining the fly ash at 800 ℃ and grinding to obtain pretreated fly ash;
2) Placing the pretreated fly ash and sodium pyrosulfate into a ball milling tank, and performing ball milling activation to obtain activated clinker;
3) Adding activated clinker into sodium persulfate and deionized water, stirring uniformly, and then transferring all the mixture into a high-pressure reaction kettle for reaction;
4) After the reaction is finished, carrying out solid-liquid separation on clinker to obtain filtrate and filter residue containing aluminum ions;
5) And diluting 2-5 g of filtrate to 50g, measuring the content of Al 3+ in the filtrate by using an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer, and converting the content into the content of alumina.
Further, the calcination of the fly ash in the step 1) is performed in a muffle furnace for 3 hours, and the pulverized fly ash is ground and then screened by a 200-mesh sieve to ensure that the particle size of the fly ash is less than 45 um.
Further, in the step 2), the pretreated fly ash and sodium pyrosulfate are mixed according to the molar ratio of sodium pyrosulfate to alumina in the pretreated fly ash of (0-20): 1, more preferably (0-4): 1, and the ball milling time is 0-10 hours, more preferably 0-4 hours.
Further, in the step 2), the planetary ball mill is adopted to ball-mill and activate the fly ash, the mass ratio of the agate balls to the materials is 3:1, and the replacement time is 15 min/time by adopting a positive and negative replacement ball milling mode.
Wherein, in step 2), the main principle of activating the fly ash by utilizing sodium pyrosulfate is that sodium pyrosulfate is an ionic compound and its sulfur anion has oxidizing property, S 2O7 2- is a dimer of sulfate anions, and SO 4 2- has bridging oxygen atoms, sulfate groups are easy to be connected with Al 3+ to form a complex three-dimensional network, and almost all oxygen atoms in tetrahedral SO 4 2- groups can be combined with Al 3+, and the oxygen atoms are not combined with aluminum terminal but are further connected with sulfur atoms (Al-O-S structure), thereby destroying part of the Al-O-Si structure. While Na + shows an electron acceptor that is interactive with oxygen atoms in the aluminosilicate, contributing to the hopeful formation of anionic sulfate complexes by Al 3+ that disrupt the confinement of the original crystal lattice. The equation for the reaction process is as follows:
Na2S2O7→Na2SO4+SO3 (1)
Al 2O3 (corundum) +3Na 2S2O7→2Na3Al(SO4)3 (2)
Al 6Si2O13 (mullite) +9Na 2S2O7→6Na3Al(SO4)3+2SiO2 (3)
Al 2O3 (glassy phase) +3Na 2S2O7→2Na3Al(SO4)3 (4)
Further, in the step 3), the addition amount of sodium persulfate is (0-20) to 1, more preferably (0-4) to 1 according to the molar ratio of sodium persulfate to aluminum oxide in the fly ash, and the addition amount of deionized water is (1-20) to 1, more preferably (2-8) to 1 according to the liquid-solid ratio of deionized water to (activated clinker plus sodium persulfate);
The main principle of leaching the fly ash by utilizing sodium persulfate under high pressure is that the sodium persulfate can be decomposed into H + generated by HSO 4 - and O 2,HSO4 - when being contacted with water, and can form interfacial hydroxyl with a large amount of unsaturated oxygen in the solution, so that interfacial oxygen is lost, crystal lattice vacancies are generated, the lattice defects of aluminosilicate crystals in the fly ash are caused, and the constraint of oxygen atoms on aluminum atoms is weakened, so that the aluminum atoms are free from lattice constraint and enter the solution. The equation for the reaction process is as follows:
Na2S2O8+H2O→2NaHSO4+1/2O2(pH=3~7) (1)
Al2O3+6NaHSO4→Al2(SO4)3+3Na2SO4+3H2O (2)
In step 3), the stirring rotation speed is set to 300rpm in the reaction process in step 3), the reaction temperature is 140-240 ℃, and the leaching temperature is preferably 140-240 ℃ to mainly create subcritical water environment. When the temperature and pressure of water are lower than its critical temperature Tc (374.3 ℃) and critical pressure Pc (22.1 Mpa), and in the vicinity of the proximity state, it is called subcritical water. Research has shown that subcritical water is an excellent reaction medium capable of promoting the reaction rate and thus the recovery of aluminum.
Further, in the step 3), the initial heating rate of the reaction kettle is set to be 5 ℃ per minute, and the heating rate is set to be 3 ℃ per minute after the initial heating rate is close to 80% of the target temperature, so as to prevent the reaction kettle from suffering from the phenomenon of temperature runaway;
Further, in the step 4), the filter residue is dried at 105 ℃ in a suction filtration mode for solid-liquid separation, and can be further recycled, such as preparing a molecular sieve or a porous material.
Further, in step 5), three parallel filtrates are taken each time, and the content of elements is measured by using an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer, so that the confidence interval of the test result is ensured to be 90-95%.
Further, in step 5), the formula of the concentration of Al 3+ in the solution converted into alumina is: Wherein M Al2O3 and M Al are the relative molecular masses of Al 2O3 and Al respectively, g.mol-1;m is the mass of the fly ash in a single test, g, V is the volume of the aluminum leaching solution, mL, and W Al2O3 is the mass fraction of Al 2O3 in the fly ash.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that firstly, the ball milling activation method is adopted to fully mix sodium pyrosulfate with the fly ash, firstly, the Si-O-Al bond and the Al-O bond on the surface of the fly ash are destroyed by utilizing pyrosulfate ions, the Al < 3+ > is hopefully destroyed to form an anionic sulfate complex by the constraint of the original crystal lattice, then, the mullite structure in the fly ash is further destroyed by utilizing the sodium persulfate high-pressure leaching method, the lattice defect of the aluminosilicate crystal is caused, the constraint of oxygen atoms to aluminum atoms is weakened, and therefore, the aluminum atoms are free from the lattice constraint and enter the solution.
2. The method has the advantages that the adopted process is milder, the leaching rate can be higher when the leaching temperature is 200 ℃, and compared with the traditional sodium carbonate or ammonium sulfate/ammonium bisulfate roasting method which can obtain higher Al extraction rate at 800 ℃ or even above, the energy consumption is low and the efficiency is high.
3. The method has the advantages that the used reagent is mild, no corrosiveness is generated, no pollution gas is generated in the reaction process, the problem of treatment of waste acid, alkali and other solutions is not needed to be considered, meanwhile, the recovery rate of aluminum is high, and the maximum recovery rate of aluminum is 98.92 percent, so that the method is a clean and efficient valuable element recovery method.
