Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for producing zinc carbonate by using blast furnace cloth bag ash dechlorination wastewater.
Background
The blast furnace bag dust is dust collected by a bag-type dust collector along with raw material dust carried by blast furnace gas and particles generated by violent reaction in a high-temperature region in the blast furnace smelting process. In recent years, more and more iron and steel enterprises adopt a rotary hearth furnace process to recover zinc in blast furnace cloth bag ash. As the chloride ion content in the blast furnace cloth bag ash is higher, about 3 percent, the blast furnace cloth bag ash needs to be washed by water for dechlorination and then enters the rotary hearth furnace so as to prevent the chloride ion from corroding the rotary hearth furnace system. However, most of zinc in the blast furnace cloth bag ash exists in the form of zinc oxide, about 10% -20% of zinc exists in the form of zinc chloride, and in the process of washing the blast furnace cloth bag ash, part of soluble zinc chloride is dissolved in liquid, and if the part of zinc is not treated, on one hand, the water treatment in the subsequent water treatment process is not up to standard, and on the other hand, the waste of zinc resources is caused.
In the technical aspect of comprehensive utilization of blast furnace cloth bag ash, some wet zinc extraction processes are too complex, and acidic or alkaline substances are added during production of zinc products, so that difficulty is increased in the subsequent water treatment process. When relevant patent documents are inquired, no case of producing zinc carbonate by using blast furnace bag ash is found, and only data similar to that of producing zinc carbonate by using other zinc-containing materials are searched.
The application number is 201710907907.X, the Chinese invention patent with the invention name of 'recycling method of zinc in galvanized waste steel and zinc-containing materials' discloses: the method is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) acid washing: putting galvanized waste steel and iron and steel and a zinc-containing material into a reaction tank, and adding dilute hydrochloric acid into the reaction tank for acid washing to obtain a mixed solution A containing iron ions and zinc ions and the waste steel and iron; (2) oxidizing and removing impurities: adding hydrogen peroxide into the mixed solution A for oxidation, adding strong base to adjust the pH of the solution to 4.5, and obtaining a solid-liquid mixture containing precipitates; (3) deep oxidation and impurity removal: repeating the operation in the step (2) until the solution is colorless and transparent, and obtaining a solid-liquid mixture containing the precipitated zinc ions with the pH value of 4.5; filtering out the precipitate for later use to obtain a mixed solution B containing zinc ions; (4) separation: adding a sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide solution into the mixed solution B, adjusting the pH of the solution to 6, and separating out zinc carbonate or zinc hydroxide to obtain a solution containing sodium chloride; (5) drying: and (3) drying the zinc carbonate or the zinc hydroxide in the step (4) for 1-3h at the temperature of 100-. The disadvantages of this patent are: after acid washing and oxidation impurity removal, dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are added, the steps are complicated, and the cost is high.
The invention has application number of 201711208334.8, and is a Chinese patent of 'a method for preparing zinc carbonate by using zinc leaching residue', and discloses: the method is characterized by comprising the following steps: the method comprises the following steps: slurrying the zinc leaching residues with water, wherein the mass liquid-solid ratio is 3-4:1, adding hydrogen peroxide with the mass of 1-10% of that of the zinc leaching residues, stirring for 2h, and filtering to obtain filtrate A and filter residues B; step two: pulping and washing the filter residue B with water, wherein the mass liquid-solid ratio is 3-4:1 during pulping, washing for 0.5h, and filtering to obtain a filtrate C and a filter residue D, wherein the filtrate C is returned to the step one and used as pulping water of zinc leaching residues; step three: adjusting the pH value of the filtrate A to 3-4 by using sodium hydroxide, stirring for 0.5-1h, and filtering to obtain filtrate E and filter residue F; step four: and continuously adding ammonium bicarbonate into the filtrate E to stabilize the pH value to 8-9, continuously stirring to perform precipitation reaction for 1H, and filtering to obtain filtrate G and a product H, wherein the product H is zinc carbonate. The disadvantages of this patent are: the PH of the zinc leaching residue liquid is too low, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide are added, the pH is oxidized and adjusted, most of zinc in the filtrate exists in the form of zinc sulfate, and the zinc leaching residue liquid is not suitable for the filtrate of blast furnace bag ash.
