介绍了1种采用煅烧–沥滤工艺从粉煤灰中提取氧化铝(Al2O3)的新方法。以碳酸钠(Na2CO3)为活化剂,在900℃下煅烧,使粉煤灰中惰性的Al2O3转变成活性的可以溶出的铝盐。选用硫酸(H2SO4)为活性铝盐的溶出剂,在一定温度下溶出铝盐,使活化后粉煤灰中的Al2O3以液相形式溶出。用乙二胺四乙酸为络合剂有效除去铝盐[Al2(SO4)3]中的杂质铁(Fe3+)等,用蒸馏水洗涤除去钠(Na+)和其它可溶性杂质,有效提高Al2O3粉体的纯度。通过添加合适的分散剂、控制氢氧化铝[Al(OH)3]的结晶、干燥及煅烧的工艺条件,大大提高了Al2O3粉体的细度。通过X射线衍射、透射电子显微镜和N2吸附等技术分析获得的Al2O3粉体的组成与微观结构。通过以上工艺,获得Al2O3的提取率超过98%。将干燥后的Al(OH)3粉体在800℃下煅烧得到分散性好的纤维状γ-Al2O3,其纯度(质量分数)达99.6%。

A new calcining–leaching process was used to extract high purity alumina (Al2O3) powders from fly ash in this study. The fly ash was mixed with soda (Na2CO3) and calcined at 900 ℃ to yield soluble aluminates. Subsequently the calcined ash was leached with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to produce a solution containing aluminum. The unwanted metal ions including Fe3+ and Na+ were re- moved by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and water washing. Then added the proper dispersant, controlling the crystalliza- tion of aluminum trihydroxide precipitation, and the drying and calcining process was carried out, resulting in ultra fine Al2O3 pow- ders with high purity. The characteristics of the Al2O3 powders were examined by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and the Brunauer, Emmet and Teller (BET) surface analysis method. The extraction efficiency of Al2O3 can surpass 98% by optimization of the calcination and lixiviation processes. Well-dispersed fibriform γ-Al2O3 powders were obtained by calcining at 800 ℃ and the purity of the ultra fine Al2O3 powders was more than 99.6%.
