Definitions

  • the method according to the invention relates to a treatment for insolubilization by the wet method of used soldering for the purpose of their storage or their landfill.
  • These mixtures of variable composition consist of carbonaceous products (30% to 50% by weight) but also of refractory elements, generally of the silico-aluminous type, impregnated with cyanides (CN - 1% by weight) of fluorinated compounds (FZ 20%) generally alkaline, sodium (Na - 20%) mainly in the state of NaF.
  • the method according to the invention is based on the observation that it is possible to recombine, with inexpensive and readily available additives, almost all of the fluorine of the fluorinated compounds impregnating the spent pot lining as well as the free soda produced from the causticization reaction, to form insoluble compounds which are easily filterable, while the remaining soluble compounds such as cyanides, generally in the state of sodium cyanide, are dissociated under the conditions of temperature and pressure chosen to carry out these reactions of insolubilization.
  • the amount of free sodium hydroxide obviously varies according to the chemical composition of the pot lining and the proportion of pot lining crushed in the suspension.
  • the addition of kaolinite is regulated between 0.12 and 0.20 kg per kg of suspension, the weight composition of which, for sodium contents in the used pot lining generally between 10% and 15% by weight, varies in the following proportions:
  • kaolinite In addition to kaolinite, it is worth mentioning among the main clays which can be used illite and smectites such as montmorillonite, bentonite, which by fixing the free soda lead to the formation of a mixture of insoluble zeolites (analcime and zeolite Na-Pt). More generally, the mixtures thus formed are synthetic feldspathoids or zeolites.
  • reaction temperature which must be above 140 ° C. and preferably between 180 ° C and 250 ° C.
  • the increase in temperature promotes, on the one hand the reaction in the direction of the transformation of the clay into insoluble synthetic compound by fixation of free soda, on the other hand the decomposition of the cyanides by hydrolysis according to the basic reaction
  • the excellent permeability of the solid cake is observed, which can be washed effectively with a relatively small volume of water since the "wash ratio" is that is to say the volume of water necessary for washing relative to the volume of water impregnating the wet cake after spinning, is substantially close to 1.
  • the mother liquors and the washing waters are combined to form a weakly alkaline liquor which is recycled in the first two stages of the process for the preparation of the pot lining and lime suspensions on the one hand and kaolin on the other hand.
  • the wet residue As for the wet residue, it is subjected to a leaching test according to French standard X 31-210 to determine the levels of cyanide, sodium and fluorine; the CN content by weight must remain below 0.01% and the fluorine content must remain below a limit which varies, according to the national standards in force, between 0.05% and 0.3%.
  • Table 1 summarizes the most significant characteristics of comparative tests of autoclave treatments, for 3 hours, at different temperatures 145 ° C, 180 ° C and 220 ° C of 3 samples of 2 kg of a suspension of "all comings" crushed pot lining whose fluorine and sodium contents were 10.1% and 14.9% respectively.
  • the weight composition of the 2 kg samples was 0.47 kg of pot lining, 0.1 kg of slaked lime and 1.43 kg of water.
  • the proportion of kaolin subsequently added was 0.15 kg per kg of suspension.
  • the suspension after autoclaving was cooled to below 100 ° C and filtered under a vacuum of 500 mm Hg.
  • an autogenous grinder is fed simultaneously with the crushed product 2 at a rate of 1 t / h, quicklime 3 (grain size 0-10 mm) at a rate of 0.25 t / h, recycled liquor 4 at a rate of 4, Om 3 / h.
  • the autogenous crusher operates in a closed circuit on a 1 mm mesh screen.
  • the suspension obtained 5 is stored in a stirred tank for an average period of 1 hour.
  • a heat transfer fluid rotates in a closed circuit between the two exchangers and a boiler where an additional thermal energy is made 21, 22 and 23.
  • the cooled suspension 13 is then filtered and the cake formed is washed on a band filter.
  • the mother liquors 15 and the washing waters 17 representing a total of 5.5 m 3 / h are combined in a storage tank to form the recycled liquor 4 and 6.
  • the washing water 16 is 3.1 m 3 / hour compensates for the loss of water by impregnating the residue.
  • wet residue has a total weight of 5.5 tonnes, including 3.1 tonnes of water.
