The invention discloses a method for separating and recovering nano-
zinc oxide from a
zinc-containing solution through complexing-
ammonia distillation, and belongs to the field of
hydrometallurgy. According to the method,
zinc-
ammonia complexing is utilized, firstly,
impurity ions with low
precipitation pH are removed by adjusting the pH value of a solution, then the pH value of the solution is reduced in a heating
ammonia distillation mode, and
zinc ion precipitation is separated out, so that the
zinc ion precipitation is separated from
impurity ions with high precipitation pH in the solution, high-purity zinc-containing precipitation is obtained, and finally high-purity
nano zinc oxide is obtained through low-temperature
roasting. The obtained zinc extraction
tailings can be roasted to prepare the NH3-SCR catalyst with excellent performance, a
calcium-
magnesium-containing solution can be used for CO2 mineralization, and full-quantitative utilization of
impurity ions is achieved. According to the method, separation of zinc and
impurity ions in the zinc-containing solution can be achieved, the nano-zinc
oxide product is obtained, the purity of the nano-zinc
oxide product is as high as 97.2%, and the zinc
recovery rate reaches 95%. The method realizes the purpose of separating, purifying and preparing the high-purity zinc oxide in the complex solution, has the characteristics of simple process, environment friendliness and low cost, and has wide application prospect and practical significance.
