Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of smelting slag. Specifically, it relates to a method for preparing lead smelting slag glass-ceramics based on the oxidation of silicon-rich silicon smelting slag and composition adjustment.

BACKGROUND

Silicon slag and lead slag are waste residues discharged during the silicon and lead smelting processes of the industrial silicon and lead smelting industries respectively.

With the booming development of these industries, the increasing demand for industrial silicon and lead has led to the increasing emissions of silicon slag and lead slag from the smelting process. The discharge of these waste residues not only pollutes the environment, but also takes up a large amount of valuable land resources. It is worth mentioning that for a type of silicon-rich silicon slag (silicon content: 10-20% elemental silicon), direct disposal will easily cause a waste of valuable components in the silicon slag. In order to avoid waste, there are currently three main ways to utilize the resources of this type of silicon-rich silicon slag: recovery of elemental silicon, preparation of high-purity silica and utilization of silicon slag microcrystalline vitrification.

In terms of the recovery of elemental silicon, some patents disclose the separation of slag silicon from silicon-rich silicon slag, achieving the goal of recovering elemental silicon from silicon-rich silicon slag.

CN 111348654A discloses a method for water quenching granulation of industrial silicon slag and separation of silicon and slag. A slag silicon mixture containing elemental silicon is obtained by water quenching and rapid cooling of molten silicon slag. The slag silicon mixture is subjected to solid-liquid separation and dehydration treatment to obtain elemental silicon and achieve the separation goal of silicon and slag. In addition, the cooled silicon slag can also be extracted from the elemental silicon in the silicon slag through multiple color sorting and remelting processes. This solution is described in detail in CN 111232987A. CN 111232988A mentions that the target of efficient separation of slag silicon can also be achieved through sequential color separation and flotation methods. The above research on the separation of slag silicon has enabled the recovery of valuable elemental silicon, but there is a lack of further research on the resource utilization of the remaining silicon slag. On the other hand, CN108516556 A discloses a method for preparing high-purity silica using silicon slag, by adding sodium hydroxide solution to the silicon slag slurry for dissolution to obtain a sodium metasilicate solution; then adding sodium carbonate solution and passing in after carbonation and decomposition of CO₂ gas, metasilicate precipitate and sodium carbonate solution are obtained; the resulting metasilicate precipitate is pickled, washed and dried to obtain high-purity silica. Similarly, this method also lacks research on the resource utilization of remaining silicon slag.

In terms of microcrystalline vitrification, silicon slag is increasingly used as a raw material for the preparation of this type of material because it contains similar components.

Common silicon slag can be divided into low silicon slag and silicon rich silicon slag. Silicon slag with low silicon content can be prepared according to the existing patented waste slag building material conversion process. CN 103539357A discloses a silicon slag glass-ceramic and a preparation method thereof. Cold silicon slag and other auxiliary raw materials are batched and melted to form a molten glass liquid. The obtained glass liquid is further rolled, poured or water-quenched to form a basic glass, the basic glass is then subjected to crystallization heat treatment to obtain crystallized glass. However, for silicon-rich slag, it is difficult to obtain a homogeneous water-quenched glass frit using conventional melting systems and water quenching operations to process silicon-rich slag. Research published in CN 111348654A shows that elemental silicon is often easily retained in these water quenching slag materials, and the residue of elemental silicon is prone to have a great negative impact on the structure and performance of glass-ceramics prepared based on water quenching materials. Oxidation treatment of silicon-rich silicon slag is a feasible solution. CN110482865 A discloses a kind of crystallized glass and its preparation method and use. Silicon slag, auxiliary raw materials, oxidants or clarifiers are combined, integrated oxidation and melting are performed, and microcrystals are obtained after crystallization. However, this method is not convenient for controlling the oxidation degree of elemental silicon in silicon slag.

Silicon slag oxidation conditioning material formula: The raw materials of silicon slag oxidation conditioning material include silicon slag, albite and borax, cerium oxide and sodium sulfate, of which silicon slag is the main raw material, albite and borax act as fluxes, and cerium oxide and sodium sulfate serve as clarifier.

After drying, ball milling and sieving all the above raw materials, the formula is formulated according to a mass ratio of 55:5:1 between silicon slag, flux and clarifier.

The process of preparing lead slag glass-ceramics using the above-mentioned oxidation tempered raw materials is as follows:

• • (1) In terms of mass fraction, first weigh 40 wt % of the lead slag; then weigh 60 wt % of the silicon slag oxidation conditioning material, where the mass ratio between silicon slag, oxidant, flux and clarifier is 55:5:1; The mass ratio of albite and borax used as flux is 2:1, and the mass ratio of cerium oxide and sodium sulfate used as clarifier is 1:3.
  • (2) Weigh the oxidized and tempered raw materials according to the formula of step (1), crush and mix them in a ball mill, pass through a 200 mesh sieve, put them into a crucible, melt and keep warm in a high-temperature box furnace at 1450-1500° C., after 2-3 hours, the oxidation-modified material melt is obtained.
  • (3) Mix and melt the oxidation tempering material melt in step (2) with the hot lead slag. The mixing and melting conditions are: mixing and melting at 1500° C. for 1 hour, and a glass melt with uniform composition cannot be formed.
  • (4) Transfer or pour the molten glass liquid in step (3) into water prepared in advance at a temperature lower than or equal to 25° C. The glass liquid will turn into mostly black glass particles and a few off-white block solids.

Since no oxidant was added in comparative Example 1, the elemental silicon in the silicon-rich silicon slag could not be completely oxidized at high temperatures, resulting in the failure to obtain qualified glass-ceramics.

Comparative Example 2

This comparative example provides a method for preparing crystallized glass. The steps are the same as Example 2 of the present invention. The difference is that no silicon slag is added to the raw material of the oxidation conditioning material. The rest are the same as example 2.

Since no silicon slag was added in comparative example 2, the silicon content in the lead slag was low and the iron content was high, and obvious overflow occurred during the mixing step, resulting in the inability to obtain qualified glass-ceramics.

In summary, the present invention aims at the high elemental silicon content in silicon-rich silicon slag and its possible negative effects on the precursor heterogeneity and the structure and performance of the glass-ceramics, by pre-oxidizing and tempering the silicon-rich silicon slag, and further mix it with hot lead slag to prepare crystallized glass.

This method not only increases the flexibility and adjustability of the oxidation degree of elemental silicon in silicon slag, but also makes full use of the high silicon component of silicon slag to adjust the low silicon content of lead slag, reflecting the complementary advantages of regional solid waste and forming an organic industry chain.

In addition, the present invention takes into account the actual discharge problem of lead slag and directly uses molten oxidized slag to temper the hot lead slag, which not only fully utilizes the waste heat of the hot lead slag, but also reduces the process cost and provides a direct process for preparing high-value glass-ceramics by mixing molten oxidized slag and hot lead slag.

The total percentage of smelting waste slag in the raw materials in the present invention is 85 to 90 wt %, which not only reduces the environmental load caused by smelting slag, but also achieves the goal of collaborative high-value microcrystalline vitrification utilization of regional solid waste.

The obtained crystallized glass has high flexural strength, Mohs hardness and good corrosion resistance. It can be used as a structural or functional material and is widely used in the fields of construction, electronics and chemical industry.
