This invention relates to the field of
metal recycling technology and discloses a method for recycling
titanium scrap, comprising: a mechanical pretreatment stage for crushing and primary
magnetic separation of
titanium scrap; a cleaning and rinsing stage employing a four-step cleaning process combining ultrasonic
waves and spraying with a synergistic chelating agent-biosurfactant-buffer
system;
water softening pretreatment for
hard water environments using a sacrificial-functional double-layer chelating
system and a ternary buffer
system; a
dehydration and
drying stage for removing
moisture; and a sorting and purification stage using multi-stage
magnetic separation and various physical sorting methods to obtain high-purity
titanium scrap products. This invention achieves the simultaneous execution of three functions: chelating agent complexation of
metal ions, surfactant emulsification of oil
contamination, and buffer stabilization of the reaction environment. The cleaning efficiency is 3-5 times higher than that of a single cleaning method, solving the problems of competitive consumption of chelating agents and poor cleaning process stability in
hard water environments, thus realizing high-quality recycling of titanium scrap.
