description | To reveal how CaF<sub>2</sub> improves the dissolution ratios of aluminum and iron ions in coal gangue, CaF<sub>2</sub> and hydrochloric acid are used to extract Al<sup>3+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup> from the coal gangue calcined powder. The leaching ratios of Al<sup>3+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup> are measured, and the filter residues are analyzed by BET, XRD, and SEM. The results show that adding 3% CaF<sub>2</sub> could increase the extraction ratio of Al<sup>3+</sup> from 62.96% to 92.10% under optimized conditions, and that of Fe<sup>3+</sup> is increased from 85.12% to 95.73%. The mechanism of CaF<sub>2</sub> as an auxiliary to improve the leaching ratio of Fe<sup>3+</sup> is that HF reacts with the thin layers of gangue calcined powder containing silica to form soluble SiF<sub>4</sub>, thus forming pores that promote the diffusion of H<sup>+</sup> and inner ions, improving the leaching ratios of Al<sup>3+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup>. Finally, the CaF<sub>2-</sub>assisted acid leaching process is optimized. The results showed that it is efficient and feasible to extract Al<sup>3+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup> with the assistance of CaF<sub>2</sub> and that HF has a catalytic effect in the reaction system. This work provides a reference for the next step of actual production. |
