Abstract

:
In the current investigation, we synthesize zeolite using two different waste streams, such as aluminum dross and waste glass powder, for its potential application in indium and tin recovery from the leach liquor of waste liquid crystal display (LCD) glass. The aluminum dross (Al resource) and waste glass powder (Si resource) were used as raw materials for the synthesis of zeolite. Zeolite was synthesized using different weight ratios of Al dross and waste LCD glass by hydrothermal synthesis route using NaOH. The weight ratio variations of Al dross and waste LCD glass in this study are 0.3:1, 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 using 2 M NaOH hydroxide by the hydrothermal technique. The synthesized zeolite was analyzed by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) followed by the possible application for recovery/extraction of indium and tin from leach liquor of waste LCD glasses. The indium extraction of average 93.66%, and tin extraction of 93.10% could be achieved from mixed solution indium and tin chloride. The significant achievement of the current investigation is that it can address two environment problems simultaneously, i.e., waste LCD glass and Al dross, and can be used for value recovery from waste LCD, LCD etching waste like secondary resources.

1. Introduction

Zeolite is a functional ceramic material having versatile physicochemical properties and thus has attracted great interest in the environmental field as one of the most important classes of catalyst, adsorbent, and ion exchanger [1,2]. The zeolites are theoretically known to have millions of crystal structures and generally exist in the form of aluminum and silicon polymerized with hydroxyl groups. Zeolites crystal are microporous hydrated aluminosilicates of tetrahedral SiO4 and AlO4− where O atoms in the corners shared between SiO4 and AlO4− generate pores and channels [3]. Zeolite not only occurs naturally but is also industrially synthesized for various applications [4,5]. The zeolite not only attracts environmental application but has also been abundantly applied in a diverse range of applications which includes water treatment [6,7], petroleum refining [8,9], gas adsorption [10,11], agriculture [12,13], and green chemistry [14,15]. The current market size for synthetic zeolite is presently estimated to be 5.2 billion dollars per annum which is expected to reach 5.9 billion dollars per annum by 2023 [16].
Synthesis of zeolite from industrial wastes has been reported in the literature, which can be a reasonably promising research area for zeolite synthesis and application [3]. Yoldi et al. have reported the synthesis of zeolites from industrial wastes rich in Si and/or Al, which valorizes coal fly ash, biomass ash, aluminum dross as zeolites. Jha et al. and Bukhari et al. synthesized zeolite from industrial waste like fly ash [17,18]. Shigemoto et al. have reported the zeolite synthesis from coal fly ash by fusion with sodium hydroxide by hydrothermal technique [19]. Zeolite synthesis from fly ash is fairly common and has been reported by several authors. Iglesia et al. reported the synthesis of zeolite from red mud, which is an industrial waste and is a mammoth challenge that is yet to be addressed [20]. Synthesis of zeolite using waste to waste stream integration valorization process can be an innovative idea that has been hardly explored in the literature.
The current investigation involves the incorporation of two waste streams like Al dross and waste liquid crystal display (LCD) glass for the synthesis of zeolite. In our current investigation, the different weight ratios of two wastes were used for zeolite synthesis, followed by its application in indium and tin extraction from mixed chloride solution. Zeolite was synthesized from a mixture of different weight ratios of Al dross and waste LCD powder. As explained above for the synthesis of zeolite, two components i.e., SiO4 and AlO4− are very important. Therefore, waste resources, like Al dross that contains aluminum or waste LCD glass that contains silicon, are considered as raw material for the synthesis of zeolite in our current study. The synthesized zeolite was analyzed by XRD, SEM, and BET followed by its possible application for the recovery/extraction process of indium and tin from leach liquor of waste LCD glasses. Depending upon the cases, the same process can be applied for indium- and tin-bearing wastes like indium tin oxide (ITO) itching industry waste and washing liquor of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactor solution.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Materials

All chemicals like were of analytical grade and were used without further purification, supplied by Daejung chemical and metal Co, Ltd. (Siheung-si, Korea). Al dross (MgO, MgAl2O3) and waste displayed glass powder which are the primary source of SiO2 was used for the synthesis of zeolite. Waste displayed glass powder was obtained through a series of processes like size reduction, crushing, grinding, and heat treatment. The process flow chart for waste displayed glass powder collection is presented in Figure 1.

2.2. Methods

A complete methodology for the synthesis of zeolite from a mixture of Al dross (MgO, MgAl2O3) and waste displayed glass powder is explained in Figure 2. The particle size of both Al dross and waste displayed glass powder was analyzed by a particle size analyzer (PSA, Bluewave, Microtrac, York, PA, USA). Both the powders were mixed with different concentrations of NaOH by the hydrothermal process, followed by hydrothermal synthesis. The synthesized zeolite was the washed and dried. The zeolite was isolated and characterized by different techniques. The application perspective of synthesized zeolite was analyzed by using it as an adsorbent for indium and tin separation. Details of the adsorption study are explained below in the adsorption application section. Synthesized zeolite was applied for indium and tin separation with a perspective for the potential application of zeolite for the separation of indium and tin from leach liquor of waste LCD solution.

2.3. Characterization

The composition of zeolite powder was analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, XRD-6100, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), XRF (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, ZSX Primus II, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan), and MP-AES (Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy 4200, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm measurement was carried out for the calculation of Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET, TriStar II 3020, Micromeritics, Norcross, GA, USA).

2.4. Adsorption Application

Zeolite synthesized by the above method was used for adsorption studies. For each study, 1 g of zeolite was used as an adsorbent for the extraction of indium and tin mixed solution. Indium and tin mixed with chloride solution of 44 ppm and 84 ppm, respectively was used for the investigation. The motivation for selecting indium- and tin-mixed chloride solution for the adsorption studies was for the recovery of indium from the ITO-bearing waste like LCD. Though indium concentration in ITO is major and tin concentration is minor, in our study higher concentration of tin was considered for prospective versatile application, like different indium bearing waste. The 200 mL of 1 g of zeolite was added and kept for 24 h under constant stirring at 200 RPM in all experimental conditions. After 24 h the indium and tin concentration was analyzed using MP-AES (MP-AES (Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy 4200, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

3. Results and Discussion

Zeolite was synthesized using different weight ratios of Al dross and waste LCD glass by hydrothermal synthesis route using NaOH. The particle size of both Al dross and waste displayed glass powder were analyzed, the average particle size was 13.41 and 5.68 μm, respectively. The weight ratio variations for Al dross and waste LCD glass in this study were 0.3:1, 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 using 2 M NaOH hydroxide. The experimental parameter used for studies is presented in Table 1. The requisite weight ratio of Al dross and waste LCD glass powered were mixed thoroughly. The powder mixture of Al dross and waste LCD glass was added to 2 M of NaOH at 100 g/L into the hydrothermal reactor. The reaction was carried out at 90 °C and 24 h under constant stirring of 200 rpm. After cooling, the separated zeolite was characterized by XRD and SEM. Figure 3a represents the XRD pattern for synthesized zeolite, which has been synthesized at different composition ratios. XRD in Figure 3a indicates that at lower Al dross composition clear and sharp XRD peaks were observed in contrary to higher Al dross composition where broad and comparatively less sharp XRD peaks were observed. Figure 3b compares the intensity of the primary peak of synthesized zeolite which has been extracted from Figure 3a. Figure 3b clearly indicates that intensity of primary peak in XRD follows the order as 0.3:1 > 0.5:1 > 1:1 > 2:1 > 3:1 > 4:1 for Al dross and waste LCD glass in the weight ratio variation study. Figure 3 clearly indicates that for Al dross lower composition ratio shows better crystallization of the zeolite.
Figure 4 represents the SEM images for the synthesized zeolite, which has been synthesized at different compositions, i.e., weight variation ratios for Al dross and waste LCD glass were 0.3:1, 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1. Figure 4 indicated the zeolite has various morphologies. When the weight ratio for Al dross and waste LCD glass was 1:1, the SEM indicated quite conglomerated. When the weight ratio of Al dross and waste LCD glass was 0.3:1, the SEM indicated that zeolite has quite an irregular shape but mostly is three-dimensional. When the weight ratio of Al dross and waste LCD glass was 2:1, the SEM indicated that zeolite has lesser conglomeration but flower-like morphology. The same figure clearly indicates that when the weight ratios of Al dross and waste LCD glass were 3:1 and 4:1, the SEM indicated that zeolite has a clear flower-like morphology.
As the purpose of the zeolite synthesis was for its application in the metal separation of indium and tin by adsorption, the surface area of all synthesized zeolites was analyzed by BET. As SEM analysis of zeolite indicated the sample particles are quite heterogeneous, hence, multiple (3) BET analyses were performed for each sample and are presented in Table 2. BET analysis clearly indicated that the surface area of the zeolite synthesized had Al dross and waste LCD glass weight ratio variations of 0.3:1, 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1, and using 2 M NaOH hydroxide were 23.9 ± 2.9, 26.6 ± 4.4, 27.3 ± 1.6, 31.6 ± 1.9, 26.4 ± 1.8, and 22.9 ± 2.7 m2/g, respectively.
From the application perspective, indium and tin extrication from mixed metal solution was investigated using synthesized zeolite as an adsorbent. Each of the zeolite samples synthesized with the above process was investigated for indium and tin separation by adsorption technique. Adsorption behavior of the synthesized zeolite is depicted in Figure 5. Figure 5 indicated, after 24 h, a significant fraction of indium and tin was adsorbed using zeolite synthesized from different weight ratios of Al dross and waste LCD glass. The figure indicates a fraction of metal extracted by zeolite as a function of the composition of Al dross and waste LCD glass weight ratio in the zeolite. The figure indicated indium extraction was independent of zeolite composition ratio whereas extraction was independent of zeolite composition. Despite Al dross composition variation in the zeolite, the indium extraction was averaged 93.66%. As Al dross fraction decreases in the zeolite tin extraction increased, which varies from 63.50 to 93.10%. Figure 5 indicates that indium and tin separation is not quite efficient, but, using synthesized zeolite both the metal can be extracted quantitatively. Figure 5 clearly opens the opportunity for prospective application of zeolite for indium and tin recovery from leach solution even at a very dilute solution.
Potentially, the synthesized zeolite can be applied for indium and tin concentration, extraction, and recovery. Indium and tin are the main compositions in various wastes, like LCD, LCD itching industry wastewater, and MOCVD reactor wash liquor which are challenging for indium recovery. More particularly, waste LCD glass is one of the largest volumes of e-waste generated associated with indium recovery. Indium recovery challenged from waste LCD glass is, (i) followed by single-stage leaching, the indium and tin concentration is very low, discourages industrial recovery [21,22,23]; (ii) enrichment of leach liquor is quite challenging [24,25]; (iii) from very dilute solution, indium and tin recovery can lead to disproportionate volume of wastewater generation; (iv) higher energy consumption which potentially negates the carbon footprint LCD recycling. Figure 5 indicated both indium and tin can be quantitatively extracted, which can be enriched by desorption. Followed by adsorption-desorption indium and tin enrichment, our developed process reported elsewhere can be integrated for purification of indium and recovery of tin. Figure 6 represents potential application flowsheet where indium can be recovered from leach liquor of waste LCD through leaching. Figure 6 indicated the leach liquor can be generated using the optimum condition reported in our earlier investigation elsewhere [21]. The primary challenge for indium recovery from LCD waste is associated with a low concentration of indium and tin in the leach liquor, which can be overcome through adsorption and elution using synthesized zeolite. Once, leach liquor concentrated, the indium and tin can be purified using the solvent extraction, which has been reported by Swain et al. elsewhere [25,26,27]. In the solvent extraction process Tin can selectively be scrubbed out using Cyanex 272 from the leach liquor leaving indium in raffinate solution. From the raffinate solution, the indium can be recovered using D2EPHA as an extractant. By the process, both the extractants, i.e., Cyanex 272 and D2EPHA can be regenerated and reused, which can close the loop and can be benefited from the cost-effective perspective.

4. Conclusions

Zeolite was synthesized from a mixture of waste to waste stream combination like Al dross and waste LCD glass which is potentially applied for possible concentration indium and tin from leach liquor of waste LCD glass. The significant achievement of the current investigation is intended to address two environment problems simultaneously, i.e., waste LCD glass and Al dross, and can be used for value recovery from waste LCD, LCD etching waste like secondary resources.
