red slime, sulfates extraction, lime, reagent softening, sorption capacityAbstract
The processes of reagent purification of aqueous solutions from sulfates when using the red slime of the Mykolayiv Alumina Plant were investigated in this work. According to chemical analysis, this slime contains a sufficient amount of alumina (up to 18 %) and calcium oxide (up to 10 %) and along with calcium silicate and iron oxides contains sodium and calcium aluminate. The ability of sodium aluminate to precipitate from a solution of sulfates in the form of calcium sulfoaluminate was used in the work to purify water from sulfate anions. The process takes place when treating the solution with sludge and lime suspension. The extraction of sulfates was achieved at the level of 64-75%. The dependence of the efficiency of sulfates extraction on their initial concentration is determined. It is shown that at the initial concentration of sulfates of 20 mg-eq/dm3 at a lime consumption of 2–10 mg-eq/dm3 at a sludge consumption of 1 g/dm3 the residual concentration of sulfates decreases to 7.8–9.1 mg-eq/dm3. At a sulfate concentration of 40 mg-eq/dm3, the concentration of sulfates decreases to 10.8–21.2 mg-eq/dm3 at a lime consumption of 30 mg-eq/dm3, regardless of the sludge consumption.
