Гальваношламы – источник вторичных материальных ресурсов при получении пигментов-наполнителей для лакокрасочных изделий

Abstract

Galvanic production occupies one of the first places according to the degree of negative impact on the environment due to the content of heavy metal ions which have toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. Finding an effective method of recycling and utilization of galvanic sludge will solve the problem of the steady growth of the cost of metals and minimize the negative impact on the environment, which is an important environmental task of great scientific and practical significance. This paper presents the results of studies on the extraction of iron oxide(III) Fe2O3 from ironcontaining galvanic sludge to use it as a filler pigment in the manufacture of paint (red iron oxide). At the initial stage, the original galvanic sludge was dissolved in distilled water to a creamy consistency, and then, sulfuric acid was gradually added until the pH value gradually decreased (pH 6.0–1.5), metal sulfates were obtained. Iron hydroxide(III) Fe(OH)3 was precipitated from filtered sulfate solutions with 40% NaOH alkali solution at pH 1.5–4.1. After preliminary drying at a temperature of ≈ 150 оС, heat treatment was carried out at 600±2 оС for 5–6 h, obtaining iron oxide(III) Fe2O3, which met the requirements of GOST 10503-71 “Oil paints, ready to use. Technical Conditions in terms of particle size, oil capacity, particle density and pH of aqueous extracts. The iron minium paint made on its basis also met the requirements of this GOST on parameters: viscosity, hiding power, drying time, etc. A schematic diagram is proposed for obtaining a filler pigment used for the production of paints and varnishes. The scheme uses a set and layout of equipment widely used in industry (conveyor, batchers, screw feeders, acid and alkali treatment baths, centrifuge, drying and roasting oven).
