Problems solved by technology

However, the effect of replacing cobalt with a single zinc powder is not ideal, even with hundreds of times the equivalent of zinc powder, it is difficult to achieve the effect
Therefore, in the zinc powder replacement process, it is often necessary to add a certain amount of additives, such as arsenic salts, antimony salts, copper salts, etc. Although this measure will improve the effect of zinc powder replacement cobalt removal to a certain extent, it also brings some A series of problems, such as the addition of arsenic salts is easy to produce highly toxic gas of arsine hydrogen, while the purification depth of antimony salts and copper salts is low, and the treated solutions need to be further purified

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for deeply removing cobalt from zinc sulfate leaching liquid. The method is to add excessive activated zinc powder in cobalt-contained zinc sulfate solution for reaction; and after the reaction is finished, the filtration and the separation are performed to obtain zinc sulfate solution with a cobalt content of lower than 0.8 mg / L, wherein the activated zinc powder is obtained by activated liquid activated zinc powder containing copper and / or antimony and with pH of 2.5-3.5. The method can deeply remove cobalt ions in the zinc sulfate solution with high efficiency and low cost without introducing impurities harm to the zinc electrolysis, and is easy to realize the industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for removing cobalt from zinc sulfate leaching solution, belonging to the field of zinc hydrometallurgy. Background technique [0002] Cobalt is an impurity element that is extremely harmful to the hydrometallurgy process. When its concentration in the production system exceeds a certain amount, it will lead to a decrease in the quality of the electrolytic zinc, low current efficiency, and a burning phenomenon in severe cases. Therefore, The zinc hydrometallurgy process has extremely strict requirements on the concentration of cobalt in the system, usually requiring a concentration of less than 0.8mg / L, and with the application of technologies such as large plate electrolysis and mechanical zinc stripping, the requirements for cobalt content are more stringent. Therefore, how to deeply remove cobalt in zinc sulfate solution is particularly important for the normal operation of the hydrometallurgy zinc system. [0003]...
