Acidification process and kinetics of silicon slag from aluminum fluoride production

为解决实际生产中氟化铝生产残渣(简称硅渣)难利用问题,以云南某地硅渣为研究对象,以浓硫酸为酸化浸出介质,以浸出率为指标,以单因素实验为基础,研究了酸化过程中酸用量、反应温度、反应时间的影响。结果表明,最佳酸化条件为:加入理论酸用量(23.66 g)1.3倍的浓硫酸,反应温度170℃,反应时间90 min,该条件下SiO_(2)的纯度迅速提升至大于99.00%,Al浸出率大于99%,F浸出率大于97%;该反应为液-固多相反应中的收缩未反应核模型,反应活化能为62.97 kJ/mol,浸出过程由化学反应控制。该方法的提出对硅渣的利用提供了一种新思路,具有反应时间短、耗水少、酸化后有价元素浸出率高的优点。

Silicon slag is a kind of solid waste produced in the reaction between fluorosilicate and aluminum hydroxide when aluminum fluoride is produced by fluorosilicate method.Aluminum fluoride is mainly used as auxiliary solvent in electrolytic aluminum industry in China and the demand is huge.Therefore,a large number of silicon slag wastes are produced.Enterprises usually store silicon slag by stockpiling,resulting in large land occupation and environmental pollution.Silicon slag contains valuable elements which can be reused is a protection of resources.In this work,a silicon residue in Yunnan Province is used as the research object.The silicon residue is acidified by concentrated sulfuric acid and the leaching rate is calculated according to the residual amount of aluminum and fluorine after acidification.A single-factor experimental scheme for the acidification process of silicon slag is designed by studying the effects of acid dosage,reaction temperature and reaction time in the acidification process of silicon slag.The phases of silicon slag,acid slag and final product are analyzed by XRD.The results show that when concentrated sulfuric acid with 1.3 times the amount of theoretical acid(23.66 g)is added,the reaction temperature is 170℃and the reaction time is 90 min,the leaching rate of aluminum is greater than 99%,the leaching rate of fluorine is greater than 97%,and the purity of SiO_(2)is rapidly increased to more than 99.00%.The acidification process of silicon slag is studied by kinetic experiments.The results show that the acidification process of silicon slag conformed to the shrinking unreacted core model in the liquid-solid multiphase reaction.The activation energy of the reaction is 62.97 kJ/mol and the leaching process is controlled by chemical reactions.The proposed method provides a new idea for the utilization of silicon slag,which has the advantages of short reaction time,less water consumption and high leaching rate of valuable elements after acidification.
