Problems solved by technology

[0006] The recycling of nickel-based superalloy waste mainly includes pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. However, due to the complex characteristics of the process and multiple considerations such as economic evaluation and environmental evaluation, there is no economically feasible recycling process to practice.
At present, considering the characteristics of nickel-based superalloys, such as complex and changeable chemical composition, the mainstream process adopts wet process for comprehensive recycling. The process generally includes leaching, chemical pre-removal, extraction and removal, nickel-cobalt separation and other processes. However, this process is long, with high energy consumption, large acid consumption, high cost of environmental protection treatment, and low direct recovery rate of rare metals, which are easy to be lost in the process, and the economic benefits are not obvious

Abstract

The invention provides a comprehensive recycling method for metals in superalloy scrap. The method comprises the following steps of: melting and atomizing nickel-based superalloy scrap into metal powder in certain particle size distribution by adopting a melting and atomizing process, constructing a metal powder bed layer by placing the metal powder in a fixed fluidized bed, placing the fixed fluidized bed in a tubular furnace, controlling the tubular furnace to be at a certain temperature, and enabling reactant gas with a certain pressure to pass through the metal powder bed layer from bottom to top, so that the reactant gas and nickel-based superalloy powder react at a certain reaction temperature to generate metallic oxides and metal chlorides; and separating different metals by utilizing that saturated vapor pressures of different metallic chlorides are different, then respectively treating the metals in a known manner, and recycling rare and precious metals, especially the metals such as rhenium, molybdenum and ruthenium. By adopting the comprehensive recycling method provided by the invention, the aim of comprehensively recycling valuable metals can be achieved, and the recycling efficiency of rare metals can be greatly improved; and the process is concise, the cost is low, and no pollution is produced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a comprehensive recovery method for nickel-based superalloys, especially nickel-based superalloy wastes containing rare and precious metals such as rhenium, ruthenium, tungsten, molybdenum and tantalum. Background technique [0002] Nickel-based superalloys refer to austenitic alloys based on nickel (more than 50% nickel). In the range of 650-1100 °C, it has comprehensive properties such as high strength, good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, good fatigue performance, and fracture toughness. [0003] Nickel-based alloys contain more than ten alloying elements, among which Cr mainly plays an anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion role, and other elements mainly play a strengthening role. According to their strengthening mode, they can be divided into: solid solution strengthening elements, such as tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, chromium and vanadium, etc.; precipitation strengthening elements, such as aluminum, titanium...
