Extraction of Valuable Metals and Preparation of Mesoporous Materials from Circulating Fluidized Bed-Derived Fly Ash via an Acid-Alkali-Based Alternate Method.

ABSTRACT: Stringent leaching conditions including high pressure, temperature, and chemical consumption limit the extraction of valuable metals from circulating fluidized bed-derived high-alumina fly ash (CFB-HAFA) via the acid leaching method. In the present study, a complex utilization of CFB-HAFA, including the extraction of valuable metals (Al, Li, and Ga) and preparation of mesoporous material, is realized via a moderate acid-alkali-based alternate method. The results show that 82, 78, and 69% of Al, Li, and Ga, respectively, in CFB-HAFA are extracted by two treatments of acid leaching under moderate conditions of 15 wt % HCl concentration and 90 °C leaching temperature. The leaching behaviors of metals follow a shrinking core model, and the leaching process is first controlled by the surface chemical reaction at the initial stage and H⁺ diffusion thereafter. Numerous slit-shaped mesopores form in the residue during acid leaching. The final residue with a specific surface area of 273 m²/g can be used as an efficient adsorbent for removing methylene blue from dye wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity is approximately 140.0 mg/g at room temperature. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo second-order model can well describe the adsorption process and kinetics, implying that the adsorption is a monolayer and chemical adsorption.

Project description:This is the first in a series of three papers describing combustion of biosolids in a 5-kW bubbling fluidized bed, the ash chemistry, and possible application of the ash produced as a fertilizing agent. This part of the study aims to clarify whether the distribution of main ash forming elements from biosolids can be changed by modifying the fuel matrix, the crystalline compounds of which can be identified in the raw materials and what role the total composition may play for which compounds are formed during combustion. The biosolids were subjected to low-temperature ashing to investigate which crystalline compounds that were present in the raw materials. Combustion experiments of two different types of biosolids were conducted in a 5-kW benchscale bubbling fluidized bed at two different bed temperatures and with two different additives. The additives were chosen to investigate whether the addition of alkali (K2CO3) and alkaline-earth metal (CaCO3) would affect the speciation of phosphorus, so the molar ratios targeted in modified fuels were P:K = 1:1 and P:K:Ca = 1:1:1, respectively. After combustion the ash fractions were collected, the ash distribution was determined and the ash fractions were analyzed with regards to elemental composition (ICP-AES and SEM-EDS) and part of the bed ash was also analyzed qualitatively using XRD. There was no evidence of zeolites in the unmodified fuels, based on low-temperature ashing. During combustion, the biosolid pellets formed large bed ash particles, ash pellets, which contained most of the total ash content (54%-95% (w/w)). This ash fraction contained most of the phosphorus found in the ash and the only phosphate that was identified was a whitlockite, Ca9(K,Mg,Fe)(PO4)7, for all fuels and fuel mixtures. With the addition of potassium, cristobalite (SiO2) could no longer be identified via X-ray diffraction (XRD) in the bed ash particles and leucite (KAlSi2O6) was formed. Most of the alkaline-earth metals calcium and magnesium were also found in the bed ash. Both the formation of aluminum-containing alkali silicates and inclusion of calcium and magnesium in bed ash could assist in preventing bed agglomeration during co-combustion of biosolids with other renewable fuels in a full-scale bubbling fluidized bed.
