The invention provides a method for extracting valuable
metal elements from
coal gangue. The method comprises the following steps of: crushing and
grinding coal gangue ore, performing supercritical / subcritical water activation, classifying the
coal gangue ore into an organic
liquid phase and a
slag phase by a
hydrocyclone, and synthesizing
carbon dioxide and water from the organic
liquid phase through a supercritical reaction, wherein the
carbon dioxide is used for a subsequent
sodium aluminate reaction to obtain aluminum
hydroxide, the water is used for supplementing water to a shaking table, and the
slag phase passes through the shaking table to obtain enriched ore of carbon and
silicon dioxide, aluminum
oxide,
silicate and ore containing a small amount of
titanium and iron elements. Carbon and
silicon dioxide are separated and collected through electric separation, aluminum
oxide,
silicate and ore containing a small amount of
titanium and iron elements are added into
sodium carbonate and
calcium carbonate to be roasted and dissolved after
roasting,
slag of
calcium silicate and
calcium titanate is obtained and can be used as a
coating, a dissolving solution contains
sodium aluminate, sodium ferrite and other substances,
sodium hydroxide is added into the dissolving solution to generate
ferric hydroxide and
sodium aluminate, the
ferric hydroxide can be used as a
coating, and
carbon dioxide is introduced into the
sodium aluminate to generate aluminum hydroxide which is used as an inorganic
flame-retardant additive.
