Abstract

The invention provides a method for recovering waste hard alloy. According to the method, the waste hard alloy is used as an anode to directly perform electrolysis in a fused salt. The method comprises the following steps: 1) carrying out vacuum dehydration by using a fused salt dielectric; 2) by using the waste hard alloy as the anode and an inert electrode as the cathode, electrolyzing in the molten fused salt dielectric at 350-1000 DEG C; and 3) separating and collecting the metal powder and fused salt dielectric after electrolysis. According to the technical scheme, tungsten and cobalt ions can be directly dissolved out of the anode material-waste hard alloy to enter the fused salt dielectric, and deposit on the cathode plate under the driving action of the electrolysis voltage, thereby obtaining the metal powder granules. The tungsten, cobalt and other product materials obtained by electrolysis can be used as hard alloy materials, high-temperature structure materials, weapon materials, photocatalytic materials and the like, and are applicable to the fields of production processing, aerospace, war industry, environmental energy sources and the like. The method has the advantages of short technical process, no discharge of solid/liquid/gas waste and environment friendliness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metallurgy, in particular to a method for recovering metal from waste cemented carbide. Background technique [0002] Cemented carbide is a powder metallurgy product made of tungsten carbide powder as the main component, cobalt or nickel as the binder, and sintered in a vacuum furnace or a hydrogen reduction furnace. [0003] There is a shortage of cobalt resources in my country, and a large amount of imports are required every year. Although tungsten resources are relatively abundant, with the increase in output in recent years, the reserves and recoverable quantities are decreasing day by day. The tungsten content of waste cemented carbide can reach 40% to 95%, which is much higher than the tungsten content of APT, the raw material for cemented carbide production, and has very high utilization value. Therefore, the recycling of waste cemented carbide is of great significance to the rational use and protection of...
