Problems solved by technology

[0002] A large number of catalysts are used in the petrochemical production process, among which the commonly used catalysts are zinc-copper-cobalt-nickel catalysts, in which zinc (Zn) is used as the carrier of the catalyst, and copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co) are catalysts. The main active component of the catalyst can no longer be used after the catalyst loses its activity. At present, the waste catalyst is usually directly landfilled, incinerated or discarded. However, the spent catalyst contains a large amount of metal substances. Direct landfill, incineration or disposal will not only cause great harm to the natural environment. Great impact, but also cause waste of non-ferrous metal resources
[0003] The current method of recovering metals is generally to extract metal elements from spent catalysts by acid leaching or alkali leaching, but the metals obtained by this recovery method have low purity and low recovery rate

Embodiment 1

[0072] 1000 g of spent catalysts containing zinc, copper, cobalt and nickel were pulverized to below 120 mesh using a pulverizer, and the pulverized catalyst was placed in a muffle furnace at 1000°C for calcination for 5 hours and then cooled to room temperature to obtain a heat-treated spent catalyst;

[0073] Use 10mol / L NaOH solution to carry out alkali leaching to the waste catalyst after heat treatment, the volume ratio of the waste catalyst mass to NaOH solution is 100g:1L, react under stirring conditions, the reaction temperature is 80 °C, and the reaction time is 5h, to obtain Alkali leaching solution and alkali leaching residue. It can be detected that the leaching rate of Zn after alkali leaching is 99%.

[0074] The resulting alkaline leaching solution is Na 2 ZnO 2 Solution, using the electrolysis method to prepare Zn simple substance, the electrolysis conditions are: electrolysis temperature is 50 °C, electrolysis time is 35min, OH - The concentration is 4mol / L...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for recovering metals from waste catalysts containing zinc, copper, cobalt and nickel. The method provided by the invention removes copper from waste catalysts by means of heat treatment, alkali leaching, acid leaching, extraction and stripping. , zinc, cobalt and nickel are gradually separated, and then recycled. Finally, copper is recovered in the form of copper sulfide, cobalt is recovered in the form of cobalt salt, and zinc and nickel are recovered in the form of simple metals. The recovery rate is high and the resulting products are of high purity. The results of the examples show that the recovery rate of copper in the method provided by the invention is 93-95%, and the purity of the obtained copper sulfide is 99-99.9%; the recovery rate of zinc is 96-99%, and the purity of zinc is as high as 99%-99.9%; The recovery rate is 96-98%, the cobalt salt product purity is 99-99.9%; the nickel recovery rate is 95-98%, and the elemental nickel purity is 99-99.9%.
