Production of Anhydrite Binder from Waste Fluorangydrite

Abstract

The technology for obtaining hydrofluoric acid and the peculiarities of its production were studied, and the physical and chemical properties of the waste were examined. Activators that accelerated the hardening of the anhydrite binder were selected. The process of recycling fluorine hydrite waste from the production of hydrofluoric acid at Ulba Metallurgical Plant JSC was studied, and anhydrite unburnt binder with a setting time of 30 min was obtained. On the basis of the obtained data, a technological scheme of anhydrite binder production was developed. The effectiveness of the technological scheme was confirmed experimentally. This work aimed to study the possibility of the integrated use of secondary and anthropogenic raw materials from Ulba Metallurgical Plant, which represents an important means of not only increasing production efficiency and economic benefits and reducing the irrational alienation of land resources, but also protecting against the pollution of water and air basins, as the environmental policy of UMP JSC is nowadays of great importance.
