Description

Continuous biological dealkalization process for red mud
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of harmless treatment of industrial solid wastes, in particular to a continuous biological dealkalization process of red mud.
Background
Red mud is solid or semi-solid powdery solid waste produced in alumina industry, which is rich in ferric ions and is red or reddish brown. About 1.5 tons of red mud are produced per 1 ton of alumina produced. By 2016, global red mud inventory exceeds 30 million tons, and is increasing at a rate of 1.2 million tons per year. The red mud stockpiling amount in China is over 4.0 million tons, and the annual output of the red mud is over 0.6 million tons. At present, the resource utilization efficiency of the red mud is very low, so that most of the discharged red mud can only be stockpiled and disposed. However, since red mud has extremely high alkalinity, once alkaline leachate of red mud flows out during stacking, serious pollution is caused to surrounding surface water, underground water or soil environment. And the alkaline dust on the surface layer of the red mud can be conveyed to peripheral farmlands through wind power, so that the alkaline pollution degree is increased. Meanwhile, the extremely high alkalinity of the red mud can seriously inhibit the resource utilization efficiency of the red mud, for example, the red mud is used as a building material additive or precious metal elements in the red mud are recycled. Therefore, the dealkalization of the red mud has important practical significance for safe stockpiling and resource utilization.
At present, the red mud dealkalization has the following methods:
1. lime dealkalization method. The method removes the alkalinity in the red mud by forming precipitates through calcium ions in the lime, hydroxyl and carbonate in the red mud, has low alkalinity removal rate, and easily releases the alkalinity again after the precipitates of calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and the like on the surface layer of the red mud are dissolved.
2. Carbon dioxide neutralization. The alkalinity of the red mud is reduced by forming precipitates with calcium, magnesium and the like in the red mud after the hydrolysis of the carbon dioxide, the method has the advantages of complex instruments and equipment, high energy consumption, high initial investment cost and extremely easy rebound of pH after the neutralization.
3. Acid neutralization. The alkalinity of the red mud is neutralized by inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and the like or organic acid such as citric acid and the like, and the method has the advantages of great acid consumption, high operating cost and easy secondary pollution.
4. Water washing neutralization method. The method dissolves alkaline substances in the red mud by the solvent water and discharges the alkaline water, thereby reducing the alkalinity of the red mud. The method has low efficiency of removing the alkalinity of the red mud, and a large amount of discharged alkaline liquid can not be directly discharged, thereby improving the subsequent treatment cost of the whole process.
5. Neutralization with seawater. The method also has the defect of low dealkalization efficiency, and is only suitable for coastal areas.

The stirring device is a blade type rotating mechanical stirrer. The aeration device is an air compressor 12 and a microporous aeration head 11, and the microporous aeration head aerates at the bottom of the dealkalization tank.

The starting stage has the effects of improving the adaptability of the dealkalization functional bacteria to extreme habitat of the red mud and avoiding the phenomena that the bacteria are inactivated in large quantity due to sudden contact with the high-concentration red mud and the quantity of the viable bacteria cannot be maintained in the dealkalization stage. In the dealkalization stage, the alkalinity of the red mud is reduced by metabolites such as organic acid secreted by thalli and carbon dioxide generated by respiration. The dealkalization stage adopts a continuous feeding and continuous discharging operation mode, the mode can ensure that the strains are always maintained in a logarithmic growth phase, the strains have high acid production capability, and the negative influence of a growth lag phase on the biological dealkalization efficiency is avoided.
(1) In the start-up phase, the culture mode is batch feed and batch discharge. And (3) the mixed slurry in the proportioning tank enters a dealkalization tank through a flow pump, and the activated aspergillus niger spore suspension is inoculated in the dealkalization tank, wherein the inoculation amount is 0.1-0.5% of the volume of the mixed slurry in the dealkalization tank.

The dealkalization tank is filled with mixed slurry once, the red mud concentration of the mixed slurry is 1 percent, and the aeration intensity is 2.4-3.0 m3/m2h, stirring at 160-240 rpm at 30-36 ℃.

The second starting period, the mixed slurry is filled in the dealkalization tank once, the red mud concentration of the mixed slurry is increased to 2 percent, the culture condition is the same as the first period until the pH value of the slurry is reduced to 3.0 or the slurry is culturedAnd stopping culturing when the time reaches 240 hours, and discharging 85-95% of the total volume of the slurry from the dealkalization tank to the coagulation tank. By analogy, the concentration of the red mud in the mixed slurry in each next period is increased by 1% compared with that in the previous period until the concentration is increased by 15%, and the starting stage is ended after the culture.
Except for the last starting period, the dealkalized slurry discharged to the coagulation tank in each starting period reacts with a coagulant in the coagulation tank, enters a settling tank for solid-liquid separation and is discharged, namely, a complete process flow is carried out in each starting period.
When the red mud concentration of the mixed slurry is within 5 percent, the nutrient solution can enter the batching tank after being sterilized for 30min at the temperature of more than 120 ℃ and at the pressure of more than 102.5 kPa. When the concentration of the red mud exceeds 5 percent, the nutrient solution can directly enter the batching tank without sterilization. The concentration of the red mud in the mixed slurry in the last period after the pre-culture is finished is 15%, and after the culture is finished, 85-95% of the total volume of the slurry is not discharged from the dealkalization tank at one time, but the continuous dealkalization stage is carried out.
(2) In the continuous dealkalization stage, the system operation mode is continuous feeding and continuous discharging. The liquid inlet flow and the liquid discharge flow of the mixed slurry are adjusted by a flow pump, so that the volume of the mixed slurry in the dealkalization tank is not less than 90 percent of the total effective volume of the dealkalization tank. The red mud concentration of the mixed slurry in the dealkalization tank is controlled to be 10-15%. Control conditions in the dealkalization stage: the retention time of the mixed slurry in the dealkalization tank is that the pH value of the mixed slurry is kept between 6.5 and 7.5, and the aeration intensity is 2.8 to 3.2m3/m2h, stirring at the speed of 180-260 rpm and at the temperature of 30-36 ℃.
3. The slurry flowing out of the dealkalization tank enters a coagulation tank, mycelium and tiny red mud particles in the mixed slurry form flocculating constituents and aggregates through coagulation reaction, and therefore solid-liquid separation in a settling tank is facilitated. Coagulant is added through a coagulant feeding pipe at the upper part of the coagulation tank. The mixing tank is provided with a stirring device which can uniformly mix the slurry and the coagulant. The coagulant is polyacrylamide, the mass concentration of the coagulant is 3-5%, the stirring speed is 50-60 rpm, the coagulant adding mode is continuous feeding, the adding flow rate is 0.05-0.1% of the flow rate of slurry entering a coagulation tank, and the reaction time is 15-60 min.
4. And (4) allowing the slurry flowing out of the coagulation tank to enter a settling tank for solid-liquid separation, wherein the settling time is 1-3 h. The supernatant on the upper part of the settling tank is the alkali removing liquid, the alkali removing liquid flows out from an alkali removing liquid discharging pipe on the upper part of the settling tank, the pH value of the alkali removing liquid is neutral, the alkali removing liquid can be directly discharged, and metal ions such as potassium, sodium and the like enriched in the alkali removing liquid can be recovered. The mud at the lower part of the settling tank is a mixture of bacterial cells and red mud particles, and the mud flows out of a mud outlet pipe at the lower part of the settling tank and enters a plate-and-frame filter press for further dehydration. The press filtrate removed in the plate and frame filter press is refluxed to the coagulation tank. The residue after dehydration is dealkalized red mud, the pH value of which is neutral, and the dealkalized red mud can be safely stockpiled and disposed, and can also be used as an additive of building materials or a raw material for recovering precious metals. If thallus cells in the dealkalized red mud are further removed, the dealkalized red mud can be dried and then incinerated at the high temperature of 320-350 ℃.
And in the continuous dealkalization stage, the red mud concentration of the mixed slurry in the dealkalization tank is controlled to be 10-15%. The low concentration of red mud powder may cause the propagation of mixed bacteria in the nutrient solution, and the high concentration of red mud powder may inhibit the growth and metabolism activity of bacteria in the dealkalizing tank, thus reducing the dealkalizing efficiency.
