摘要: 本实验详细研究了浸出剂种类、浓度、反应时间、温度和液固比等对脱碳气化渣中钙浸出率的影响,并讨论了CO2流量、温度、碳酸化时间对碳酸化效率和生成的沉淀碳酸钙(PCC)晶型结构的影响规律。结果表明,在2 mol/L 盐酸、液固比为20 mL/g、反应温度为50 ℃、反应时间为90 min的浸出条件下,钙浸出率最高,为98.79%。在碳酸化阶段,CO2流量主要影响碳酸化效率,通过优化碳酸化反应条件,最高碳酸化效率可达99.59%。而反应温度和时间则会对碳酸钙晶型和形貌产生显著影响,降低反应温度和缩短反应时间更有利于球霰石型碳酸钙的生成。Abstract: The gasification slag after carbon separation is difficult to realize effective utilization because of its high content of water and the presence of a small amount of residual carbon. To address these problems, a mineralization based on indirect carbonation to sequester CO2 and recycle calcium extraction to prepare nano-calcium carbonate process is proposed. The gasification slag after carbon separation mainly consists of CaO, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, as well as some non-metallic components such as SiO2. Most of the metal components exist in amorphous form. After preliminary screening of acidic leaching agents, it was found that hydrochloric acid can effectively destroy the structure of gasification slag and dissolve the metal components in gasification slag. In this paper, the effects of leaching agent type, concentration, reaction time, temperature and liquid-solid ratio on the leaching rate of calcium from decarbonized gasification slag were investigated in detail. The results showed that the highest calcium leaching rate of 98.79% was achieved under the leaching conditions of 2 mol/L HCl, liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 mL/g, reaction temperature of 50 ℃ and reaction time of 90 min. Meanwhile, the effects of CO2 flow, temperature and time on the carbonation efficiency and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) crystal structure were investigated. In the carbonation stage, the main factor affecting carbonation efficiency is CO2 flow. This is because excessive CO2 will cause carbonic acid to form in the solution and partially dissolve the precipitated CaCO3, resulting in a sharp decrease in carbonation efficiency. And the carbonation efficiency gradually increases with the increase of reaction temperature. Generally speaking, increasing the temperature is beneficial for chemical reactions. However, owing to the exothermic nature of the carbonation reaction, the positive promotion effect of high temperature on the reaction process is weakened, and the solubility of CO2 in water is reduced, resulting in a slow decrease in carbonation efficiency. The effect of reaction time on carbonation process has the same trend as the change in reaction temperature. The highest carbonation efficiency could reach 99.59% by optimizing the carbonation reaction conditions. In addition, the reaction temperature and time significantly affected the calcium carbonate crystal structure and micromorphology. The formation of calcium carbonate crystals mainly goes through three stages. In the first stage, as the reaction time prolongs, disordered amorphous calcium carbonate rapidly dehydrates to form ordered calcium carbonate crystal structure. At high supersaturation, vaterite begins to nucleate and undergoes spherical growth through nucleation at the growth front. Gradually, the solubility of amorphous calcium carbonate gradually decreases, and vaterite continues to grow into polycrystalline spheres composed of roughly equal sized crystals. In the second stage, vaterite is formed under equilibrium conditions, and its crystal size almost no longer increases, leaving part of the remaining amorphous calcium carbonate dissolution and crystallization process. In the third stage, vaterite begins to decompose and forms calcite or aragonite through dissolution-recrystallization process. Experiments result have shown that vaterite and calcite are formed at low temperatures, and aragonite is formed when heated to a certain temperature. As the reaction time increases, the particle size of calcium carbonate gradually increases. Therefore, lowering the reaction temperature and time is more favorable to the formation of vaterite type calcium carbonate.
