Leaching optimization and dissolution behavior of alkaline anions in bauxite residue

赤泥碱性阴离子浸出优化及溶解行为（英文）

Bauxite residue is a highly alkaline waste containing soluble alkaline anions, which can cause environmental concerns. The optimal leaching conditions, distribution of alkaline anions, types of pivotal alkaline anions and their dissolution behaviors were investigated based on the combination of single factors-orthogonal experiments and leaching stage experiment. Using a two-stage leaching, 86% of the soluble alkaline anions（CO3^2-, HCO4^-,Al（OH）4^-, OH^-） were leached with a L/S ratio of 2 mL/g, at 30 ℃, over 23 h. During the first stage of leaching, approximately 88% of alkaline anions were leached from the dissolution of free alkali（Na OH, carbonate, bicarbonate, NaAl（OH）4） with the rest originating from the dissolution of alkaline minerals（calcite, cancrinite and hydrogarnet）. Supernatant alkalinity was 69.78 mmol/L with CO3^2- accounting for 75%. Furthermore, carbonate leaching was controlled by solid film diffusion using the Stumm Model with an apparent activation energy of 10.24 kJ/mol.

赤泥是氧化铝工业生产过程中产生的高碱性固体废弃物。基于单因素-正交实验开展赤泥碱性阴离子浸出特性研究,结合多级浸出实验探讨最佳浸出条件、碱性阴离子分布特征、关键碱性离子类型及其溶解行为。结果表明:在液固比2 mL/g、浸出温度30°C、浸出时间23 h、2次浸出条件下,可溶性碱性阴离子(CO^(2-)_3,HCO^-_4,Al(OH)^-_4,OH^-)的最佳浸出率达86%;赤泥1次浸出液中,88%的阴离子来源于可溶性碱(NaOH、碳酸盐、碳酸氢盐、NaAl(OH)_4),12%的阴离子来源于化学结合碱(方解石、钙霞石、水化石榴石);在最佳浸出条件下,可溶性碱性离子浸出总浓度为69.78 mmol/L,CO^(2-)_3约占75%;碳酸盐溶解反应的表观活化能为10.24k J/mol,这主要受固膜扩散控制。
