Abstract

The present study investigated the effect of a water-washing process, which is part of the acid hydrometallurgical process for recovery of high purity of zinc, on the removal of alkali metals and chlorides (Na, K, Ca, Cl) from Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). Two EAFD samples with different properties were characterized by particle size, XRD and element analysis, and their washing efficiencies (%) on alkali metals and chlorides were compared according to pH, washing time, liquid to solid (L/S) ratio and number of washings. The results show that the alkali metals and chlorides could be effectively removed by the washing (at L/S ration of 3 for more than 30 min., pH 10~11) while minimizing loss of zinc (<0.1%), in which the washing efficiency was Na-78%, K-76%, Cl >99%, respectively. Na and K could be removed up to 97% and 89% respectively by 3 times of repeated washings. With increased sample volume (10 times) of the mixed (1:1, w/w) sample with two types of EAFD, it was confirmed that the pH(10~11) can be used as the main process control parameter for the washing of the alkali metals regardless of EAFD properties.

본 연구에서는 전기 제강로 분진(EAFD)으로부터 고 순도의 아연회수를 위한 산 습식법 중 알칼리 금속 및 염화물(Na, K, Cl) 제거를 위한 적정 수 세척공정의 운영조건에 대해 조사하였다. 서로 다른 성상을 가지는 두 종류의 EAFD 시료를 대상으로 원소분석, XRD, 입도 분석 등의 물리화학적 특성을 분석하였고, 세척액의 pH, 세척시간, 고액비(mL/g) 및 세척반복횟수 등에 따른 알칼리 금속 및 염화물의 세척효율(%)을 비교하였다. 연구 결과, EAFD 내 알칼리 금속과 염화물은 고액비 3, 세척시간>30, pH 10~11의 조건에서 아연과 철의 손실을 최소화하면서(<~0.1%) 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었으며, 1회 세척시 Na-78%, K-76%, Cl >99%의 세척효율을 보였다. Na와 K는 3회 반복 세척 시 각각 97%, 89%까지 제거 가능하였다. 두 종류의 EAFD 혼합(1:1)시료를 대상으로 시료 용량을 늘려(10배) 수행한 실험 결과에서도 세척액의 최종 pH 10~11에서 Zn의 손실 없이 Na, K, Cl 등을 효과적으로 제거 가능함을 확인하였다.
