Technical Field
The invention relates to a recycling treatment method of waste refractory materials, and belongs to the technical field of general industrial solid waste recycling environment-friendly comprehensive utilization and metal smelting.
Background
The high temperature industries such as steel, cement, glass and the like and various industrial kilns consume a large amount of refractory materials, a large amount of waste refractory bricks containing magnesium and/or chromium, lining and other waste materials such as waste high-chromium bricks, magnesia-chrome bricks, chrome corundum and the like are generated, and in addition, magnesium and chrome refractory material production enterprises can generate a large amount of waste materials containing magnesium and/or chrome in the process of producing the refractory material products. The above waste materials and scraps may be collectively referred to as waste refractory materials. The waste refractory materials are huge in quantity and extremely difficult to process, and most of the waste refractory materials are typically processed in a buried or degraded mode except that few waste refractory materials can be returned to a production line for reuse. The accumulation or burial treatment needs to occupy land, increases cost, and also causes great waste of resources and serious environmental pollution risks.
The existing recovery process of waste refractory materials is mainly divided into a fire recovery process, a wet recovery process and the like, wherein the fire recovery process is high in energy consumption and low in chromium recovery rate, in addition, aiming at refractory materials containing magnesium and chromium at the same time, the difficult problem of separation of magnesium and chromium is solved, only single elements such as chromium can be recovered, a large amount of Cr 3+ -containing wastewater can be generated in the wet recovery process, even Cr 6+ wastewater can be generated, the wastewater treatment burden is high, the cost is high, and environmental pollution is easy to cause.
The Chinese patent application CN119824250A discloses a method for producing high-purity metal chromium from waste chromium-containing refractory materials by using a carbon reduction method, which comprises the following steps of collecting the waste chromium-containing refractory materials, crushing the waste chromium-containing refractory materials to a granularity of 0.1-1mm, carrying out magnetic separation and impurity removal to obtain chromium-containing enriched matters, carrying out acid leaching and impurity removal to obtain chromium-rich raw materials, preparing the chromium-rich raw materials, carbon powder, yttrium-stabilized zirconia and lanthanum oxyfluoride into a mixture, pressing the mixture into a ball, carrying out a two-stage heating reduction process to obtain a reaction product, cooling the reaction product to 800-1000 ℃, carrying out preliminary separation of a slag removing phase through gravity sedimentation, carrying out electroslag remelting refining treatment on the residual metal phase to obtain refined metal chromium, and cooling to complete recovery of the metal chromium. The patent can realize good recovery of chromium in the waste chromium-containing refractory, but does not consider recovery of magnesium (the content is up to 41.0-42.2%) in the waste chromium-containing refractory, and rare earth additives such as yttrium stabilized zirconia, lanthanum oxyfluoride (LaOF) and the like are required to be added to realize separation and recovery of chromium elements, so that the price of the rare earth elements is higher, the treatment cost is increased, and the risk of environmental pollution caused by fluoride and rare earth substances is increased.

By contrast, the control of the MgO content in the waste refractory powder within a specific range is helpful to obtain particularly excellent recovery rate and purity index of magnesium metal and chromium metal, and further particularly excellent recovery benefit is obtained. The possible reasons are that the content of MgO in the waste refractory powder affects the porosity or porosity of the residual material of the block after carbothermic reduction, and further affects the carbothermic reduction reaction process of chromium oxide, particularly, when the content of MgO in the waste refractory powder is low, the porosity of the pores of the residual material of the block is low, the gas generated by the carbothermic reduction reaction of chromium oxide is difficult to timely discharge, and the heat transfer is weak, which is unfavorable for the generation of chromium metal, and results in lower recovery rate of chromium metal and lower purity of chromium.
