Definitions

  • Bauxite is the basic raw material for almost all manufactured alumina compounds. In the course of production of aluminum compounds, most bauxite is refined to aluminum hydroxide by the Bayer process.
  • the Bayer process involves hot leaching of bauxite with NaOH solution in pressure vessels to obtain supersaturated sodium aluminate solutions from which Al(OH) 3 is precipitated by seeding.
  • Bayer process refineries share six common process stages: bauxite mining; raw material preparation; bauxite digestion; separation, washing, disposal of insoluble bauxite residue; aluminum hydroxide (trihydrate) precipitation; and calcinations to anhydrous alumina.
  • the process of separating bauxite residue solids from the supersaturated green liquor near its boiling point is known as “clarification”.
  • the coarser solid particles are generally removed with a “sand trap” cyclone.
  • the slurry is normally fed to the center well of a mud settler where it is treated with a flocculant composition that may be based on a variety of flocculating agents including starch, flour, polyacrylate salt polymer, acrylate salt/acrylamide copolymer, and/or water-soluble polymers containing pendant hydroxamic acid or salt groups.
  • clarified sodium aluminate solution referred to as green liquor, overflows a weir at the top of the mud settling tank and is passed to the subsequent process steps.
  • the sodium aluminate solution is generally cooled to enhance supersaturation and then seeded, e.g. with fine gibbsite seed from previous cycles to initiate precipitation of the desired end product Al(OH) 3 .
  • the present invention provides silicon-containing polymers, flocculant compositions and processes for the reduction of suspended solids from a process stream of the Bayer alumina process.
  • the processes involve contacting a Bayer process stream with such a silicon-containing polymer and/or flocculant composition to flocculate suspended solids in Bayer process streams.
  • silicon-containing polymers and flocculant compositions described herein are particularly useful for flocculating suspended DSP in Bayer process streams.
  • silicon-containing polymers include those having pendant silane groups, e.g., silicon-containing pendant groups of the Formula (I) attached thereto:
  • each R is independently hydrogen, C 1-20 alkyl, C 1-20 alkenyl, C 6-12 aryl, C 7-20 arylkyl, a group I metal ion, a group II metal ion, or NR′ 4 + ; where each R′ is independently hydrogen, C 1-20 alkyl, C 1-20 alkenyl, C 6-12 aryl, and C 7-20 arylkyl; and where R and R′ are each independently unsubstituted, hydroxy-substituted, or beta-hydroxy substituted.
  • R can be or include an aryl group.
  • aryl as used herein is a broad term and is used in its ordinary sense, including, without limitation, to refer to an aromatic carbocyclic moiety such as phenyl or naphthyl, as well as arylalkyl and alkylaryl moieties.
  • the polymer backbone comprises substituted ethylene recurring units, e.g., —[CH 2 C(R x )H]—, wherein R x comprises a silane group with or without a linking group as described elsewhere herein, or another pendant substituent.
  • R x comprises a silane group with or without a linking group as described elsewhere herein, or another pendant substituent.
  • a single kind of linking group can be employed, or combinations of linking groups can be employed.
  • additional hydrogen atoms of the ethylene recurring unit can be substituted by a pendant silane group or some other pendant group.
  • the monomers or resulting recurring units can be hydrolyzed by aqueous base, either before or after polymerization.
  • Suitable comonomers include, but are not limited to, vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile, styrene, acrylic acid and it esters, acrylamide and substituted acrylamides such as acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid.
  • the copolymers can also be graft copolymers, such as polyacrylic acid-g-poly(vinyltriethoxysilane) or poly(vinylacetate-co-crotonic acid)-g-poly(vinyltriethoxysilane).
  • the silicon-containing polymer comprises recurring units, the recurring units comprising a first recurring unit having a structure —[CH 2 C(R 1 )H]—, a second recurring unit having a structure —[CH 2 C(R 2 )H]—, a third recurring unit having a structure —[CH 2 C(R 3 )H]—, a fourth recurring unit having a structure —[CH 2 C(R 4 )H]—, and a fifth recurring unit having a structure —[CH 2 C(R 5 )H]—, wherein R 1 is C( ⁇ O)NH 2 , wherein R 2 is —C( ⁇ O)O ⁇ , wherein R 3 is —C( ⁇ O)NHO ⁇ , wherein R 4 is —NHC( ⁇ O)NHCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Si(O ⁇ ) 3 , and wherein R 5 is —NH 2 .
  • Flocculant compositions including those containing a silicon-containing polymer flocculant as described herein (e.g., a silicon-containing polymer flocculant for a DSP) and/or a polymer flocculant for a Bayer process red mud, may be concentrated or diluted (e.g., in water), and may include additional ingredients. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that Bayer process sites are often located far from flocculant manufactureres, and thus it is often desirable to transport the flocculant composition to the Bayer process site in a relatively concentrated form in order to minimize shipping costs.
  • a silicon-containing polymer flocculant as described herein e.g., a silicon-containing polymer flocculant for a DSP
  • a polymer flocculant for a Bayer process red mud may be concentrated or diluted (e.g., in water), and may include additional ingredients. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that Bayer process sites are often located far from flocculant
  • the concentrated flocculant composition can then be conveniently diluted in an aqueous medium on site to form a dilute flocculant composition, at or about the time that it is to be used.
  • the aqueous medium with which the concentrated flocculant composition is diluted may be water in a relatively pure form, recycled water from various sources, or an aqueous Bayer process stream.
  • the DSP may comprise, for example, a sodium aluminosilicate.
  • at least a portion of the DSP is suspended in the flocculant composition.
  • concentration of any particular polymer flocculant in a flocculant composition may vary over a broad range, e.g., from about 0.1 part per million to about 100% (e.g., highly concentrated form containing little or no water).
  • examples of suitable concentrations of the anionic polymer flocculant in the flocculant composition include amounts in the range of from about 0.1 part per million to about 1,000 parts per million, and examples of suitable concentrations of the silicon-containing polymeric flocculant in the flocculant composition include amounts in the range of from about one part per million to about 500 parts per million.
  • the Bayer process stream comprises suspended DSP, e.g., from about 0.02 grams per liter to about 200 grams per liter of suspended DSP.
  • suspended DSP e.g., from about 0.02 grams per liter to about 200 grams per liter of suspended DSP.
  • the polymer flocculants and flocculant compositions described herein are particularly useful for flocculating suspended DSP in Bayer process streams.
  • a synthetic Bayer liquor is made by adding 256 g sodium aluminate, 66 g sodium hydroxide, and 40 g sodium carbonate to water to make a total of 1000 ml and heating to 100° C.
  • a DSP is made by heating kaolin in sodium hydroxide solution to 150° C., followed by filtration, washing, and drying to recover dry DSP.
  • Red mud solids are obtained from mud slurry typically being discharged to waste at an operating Bayer plant. This mud is washed free of the associated dilute sodium aluminate solution, dried and ground.
  • a slurry of 9 g Pearl starch (National Starch and Chemical Co., Bridgewater, N.J., USA) is mixed with 2 g glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and stirred at room temperature for 16 hours.
  • the reaction product is partially dried at 50° C., then heated to 95° C. in 20 g/l aqueous NaOH to make a 3% solution.
  • the product is Reagent C.
  • Reagent C exhibits significantly increased settling rates for suspended DSP or red mud, compared to unfunctionalized pearl starch, indicating that Reagent C is an effective flocculating agent in its own right.
  • Reagent C is even more effective in flocculating suspended DSP/red mud mixtures (10/70, 20/80, and a 40/60). Good clarity is also observed for red mud and DSP/red mud mixtures treated with Reagent C.
  • Reagent C significantly increases the settling rate of red mud and substantially improves clarity when employed in combination with Superfloc HX-400.
  • a reagent is made by a process similar to that of Example 5a, except 0.005 moles (0.60 g) styreneoxide is used instead of the epoxybutane.
  • the product is Reagent G.
  • Scripset 520 a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer made by Hercules Inc., Wilmington, Del., USA
  • Scripset 520 a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer made by Hercules Inc., Wilmington, Del., USA
