Dealkalization and Leaching Behavior of Fe, Al, Ca, and Si of Red Mud by Waste Acid from Titanium White Production.

ABSTRACT: Dealkalization is the necessary step for the multipurpose use of red mud (RM), and acid leaching is a productive method to realize the dealkalization of RM. Most researches focus on recovering metals from the highly alkaline waste by pure acid leaching or stabilization by dealkalization. In this study, according to the strong alkalinity of RM and strong acidity of the waste acid from titanium dioxide production, the waste acid was used for the dealkalization of RM. The effects of leaching temperature, reaction time, the concentration of waste acid, liquid-solid ratio (L/S), and stirring rate on the dealkalization of RM were investigated, and the main metal ions in the dealkalization solution were analyzed. The results show that the leaching ratio of sodium can reach 92.3591% when the leaching temperature is 30 °C, the reaction time is 10 min, the concentration of waste acid is 0.6238 mol/L, the L/S is 4:1, and the stirring rate is 300 rpm. The residual alkali content in the treated RM is 0.2674%, which is a reduction to less than 1%. The phase analysis results show that the sodalite and cancrinite in RM are dissolved, decomposed, and transformed after acid leaching. Therefore, RM meets the requirements of building materials after dealkalization, which provides further development as building material products.

Effective Utilization of Waste Red Mud for High Performance Supercapacitor Electrodes.

Project description:In recent years, metal oxide-based, inexpensive, stable electrodes are being explored as a potent source of high performance, sustainable supercapacitors. Here, the employment of industrial waste red mud as a pseudocapacitive electrode material is reported. Mechanical milling is used to produce uniform red mud nanoparticles, which are rich in hematite (Fe2O3), and lower amounts of other metal oxides. A comprehensive supercapacitive study of the electrode is presented as a function of ball-milling time up to 15 h. Ten-hour ball-milled samples exhibit the highest pseudocapacitive behavior with a specific capacitance value of ?317 F g-1, at a scan rate of 10 mV s-1 in 6 m aqueous potassium hydroxide electrolyte solution. The modified electrode shows an extraordinary retention of ?97% after 5000 cycles. A detailed quantitative electrochemical analysis is carried out to understand the charge storage mechanism at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The formation of uniform nanoparticles and increased electrode stability are correlated with the high performance. This work presents two significant benefits for the environment; in energy storage, it shows the production of a stable and efficient supercapacitor electrode, and in waste management with new applications for the treatment of red mud.

Molecular Structures of Al/Si and Fe/Si Coprecipitates and the Implication for Selenite Removal.

Project description:Aluminum and iron oxides have been often used in the coagulation processes during water purification due to their unique surface properties toward anions. In the presence of silica, the coprecipitation of Al/Si or Fe/Si might decrease the efficiency of wastewater purification and reuse. In this study, surface properties and molecular structures of Al/Si and Fe/Si coprecipitates were characterized using spectroscopic techniques. Also, the selenite removal efficiency of Al/Si and Fe/Si coprecipitates in relation to their surface and structural properties was investigated. While dissolved silicate increased with increasing pH from Fe/Si coprecipitates, less than 7% of silicate was discernible from Al/Si samples over the range from acidic to alkaline conditions. Our spectroscopic results showed that the associations between Al and Si were relatively stronger than that between Fe and Si in coprecipitates. In Al/Si coprecipitates, core-shell structures were developed with AlO6/AlO4 domains as the shells and Si frameworks polymerized from the SiO2 as the cores. However, Si framework remained relatively unchanged upon coprecipitation with Fe hydroxides in Fe/Si samples. The Si core with Al shell structure of Al/Si coprecipitates shielded the negative charges from SiO2 and thereby resulted in a higher adsorption capacity of selenite than Fe/Si coprecipitates.

Phase equilibria and structural investigations in the system Al-Fe-Si.

Project description:The Al-Fe-Si system was studied for an isothermal section at 800 °C in the Al-rich part and at 900 °C in the Fe-rich part, and for half a dozen vertical sections at 27, 35, 40, 50 and 60 at.% Fe and 5 at.% Al. Optical microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for initial sample characterization, and Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of the annealed samples was used to determine the exact phase compositions. Thermal reactions were studied by Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). Our experimental results are generally in good agreement with the most recent phase diagram versions of the system Al-Fe-Si. A new ternary high-temperature phase τ12 (cF96, NiTi2-type) with the composition Al48Fe36Si16 was discovered and was structurally characterized by means of single-crystal and powder XRD. The variation of the lattice parameters of the triclinic phase τ1 with the composition Al2+x Fe3Si3-x (-0.3 < x < 1.3) was studied in detail. For the binary phase FeSi2 only small solubility of Al was found in the low-temperature modification LT-FeSi2 (ζβ ) but significant solubility in the high-temperature modification HT-FeSi2 (ζα ) (8.5 at.% Al). It was found that the high-temperature modification of FeSi2 is stabilized down to much lower temperature in the ternary, confirming earlier literature suggestions on this issue. DTA results in four selected vertical sections were compared with calculated sections based on a recent CALPHAD assessment. The deviations of liquidus values are significant suggesting the need for improvement of the thermodynamic models.

Synthesis of Scandium Phosphate after Peroxide Assisted Leaching of Iron Depleted Bauxite Residue (Red Mud) Slags.

Project description:Anticipated future demand and limited primary sources of Sc highlight the importance of secondary Sc resources such as bauxite residue (red mud). In this study, a process route starting from red mud aiming to recover Sc as a concentrate by a combination of pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes was developed. Bauxite residue was treated in an electric arc furnace (EAF) for Fe removal as well as slag conditioning with varying flux additions and various cooling conditions. 95% of iron recovery to the metal was achieved. Resulting slags were subjected to identical H2O2 supported H2SO4 leaching conditions at 75 °C. The effect of slag mineralogy and crystallinity on the leaching efficiencies were investigated using XRD and QEMSCAN analysis. As a result of the highly amorphous nature of acidic slags, maximum of 72% Sc leaching was obtained. For leached slags, water quenched basic slag was found to be the most promising condition resulting in an extreme Sc leaching yield of 97% and this slag was selected for the further Sc precipitation. High impurity removal rates and selective Sc separation were achieved with a triple-stage successive precipitation to synthesize a Sc concentrate. Starting from EAF treatment followed by leaching and precipitation, 85% of the initial Sc in the red mud was successfully recovered as Sc phosphate.

Characterization of Microstructures and Tensile Properties of Recycled Al-Si-Cu-Fe-Mn Alloys with Individual and Combined Addition of Titanium and Cerium.

Project description:Individual and combined addition of Ti and Ce on the recycled Al-Si-Cu-Fe-Mn alloy was conducted. The microstructures and tensile properties of these fabricated alloys were investigated. In the case of Ti or Ce which was individually added, the added amount was ranging from 0.03?wt.% to 0.09?wt.%. The combined addition of Ti and Ce was set at the ratios of 1?:?1, 1?:?3, and 3?:?1 with a total amount of 0.12?wt.%. Microstructures and phases of these alloys were investigated by using an optical microscope, X-ray diffraction testing, and SEM coupled with EDS. The morphologies of these alloys were quantified by analyzing the SDAS value, length of secondary phases, and phases' distribution uniformity. Tensile testing was carried out for understanding the strengthen effect of the modification process. Results show that the addition of Ce was favorable to the strength and % elongation because the coarse needle-like phase and the polyhedral phase were effectively refined. Their SDAS values and distribution factor were remarkably declined with the increase of the Ce level. The Ti addition could also refine the secondary phases and SDAS values. But its effect was not as prominent as the addition of Ce. Combined addition of Ti and Ce elements at the ratio of 1?:?3 resulted in the samples reaching maximum comprehensive tensile properties. In this case, the short needle-like phase was uniformly distributed in the microstructure. Few polyhedral phases could be found in the Al-Si-Cu-Fe-Mn matrix. The strengthening of these fabricated materials was due to the grain refinement for ?-Al and modification for coarse secondary phases. In addition, distribution uniformity of secondary phases was also changed by their modification effects.

Nucleation and Ostwald Growth of Particles in Fe-O-Al-Ca Melt.

Project description:Tremendous focus has been put on the control of particle size distribution which effects the grain structure and mechanical properties of resulting metallic materials, and thus nucleation and growth of particles in solution should be clarified. This study uses classical nucleation theory and Ostwald ripening theory to probe the relationship between the compositions of Fe-O-Al-Ca melts and the behavior of particles under the condition of no external stirring. Our experimental data suggest that decreasing the initial Ca addition and Al addition is conductive to the increase of nucleation rate for calcium aluminate particles, which exhibits a same change trend with that predicted from classical nucleation theory. Based on the experimental evidence for particles size distribution in three-dimensional, we demonstrate that Ostwald ripening is the predominate mechanism on the coarsening of particles in Fe-O-Al-Ca melt at early stage of deoxidation under the condition of no external stirring but not at later stage.

Evaluation of Main Factors for Improvement of the Scandium Leaching Process from Russian Bauxite Residue (Red Mud) in Carbonate Media.

Project description:The carbonate leaching of scandium from the landfilled bauxite residue (red mud) of the Bogoslovsky Aluminum Plant (Russia) and samples of red mud (RM) after alkaline pretreatment has been investigated. The results of kinetic studies allowing to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of different conditions and intensification factors in the process of scandium leaching from RM in carbonate/bicarbonate media are presented. It was determined that for 2.0 mol L-1 Na2CO3 leaching solution ultrasonic treatment under gas (CO2) carbonation conditions in the pH range of 9.5-10.0 allows reducing the scandium leaching time by two times and reaching 40-45% scandium extraction. Leaching of RM in carbonate/bicarbonate media is accompanied by secondary processes (adsorption, hydrolysis, and coprecipitation) leading to a decrease in scandium extraction. The obtained results allow improving understanding of scandium chemical behavior in complex aqueous carbonate/bicarbonate systems and can be used for the optimization of the alternative carbonate process for scandium extraction from RM.

The utilization of red mud waste as industrial honeycomb catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NO.

Project description:As a new way for the high-value utilization of red mud (RM) waste, we proposed an improved approach to prepare the RM-based sludge/powder via the sulfuric acid hydrothermal dissolution and NH3 aqueous precipitation route and then the RM-based industrial-sized honeycomb (150 × 150 × 600 mm) was successfully produced by the extrusion moulding method in pilot scale. The synthesized RM-based powdery/honeycomb catalyst exhibited more than 80% deNO x activity and good durability of H2O and SO2 above 350°C. But the decline of NO conversion was also observed above 350°C, which was confirmed to result from the increased oxygenation of NH3 at high temperature. To improve the NO conversion at high temperature, NH3 was shunted and injected into the catalyst bed at two different places (entrance and centre) to facilitate its uniform distribution, which relieved the oxidation of NH3 and increased deNO x efficiency with 98% NO conversion at 400°C. This work explored the industrial application feasibility for the RM-based honeycomb catalyst as well as the possible solution to decrease the oxygenation of NH3 at high temperature, which presented a valuable reference for the further pilot tests of RM catalyst in industry.
