Abstract

The invention discloses a method for dissolving tantalum from tantalum-containing materials. The method comprises the following steps: 1. Agglomeration: crushing tantalum-containing material powder or massive tantalum-containing material, grinding them finely, and mixing them with solid fluorine-containing compounds , and then pressed into agglomerates to obtain mixture agglomerates; 2. Calcination: put the mixture agglomerates into a crucible for calcination, and obtain clinker after natural cooling; 3. Dissolution: add clinker to the sulfuric acid solution medium, and then heat and stir Until it is completely dissolved, a tantalum-containing solution is obtained. The present invention uses solid fluorine-containing compound combined with sulfuric acid to replace HF-H 2 SO 4 The role of the mixed solution of tantalum promotes the dissolution of tantalum, and the obtained tantalum-containing solution is the same as that using HF‑H 2 SO 4 The difference between the tantalum-containing solution obtained from the mixed solution is very small, and it can be directly used for the subsequent treatment of the tantalum-containing solution in the prior art, avoiding the disadvantage of directly using hydrofluoric acid, greatly improving the operating environment, simple process, easy to implement, suitable for promote.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of recovery and utilization of rare metal resources, and in particular relates to a method for dissolving tantalum from materials containing tantalum. Background technique [0002] Tantalum has the advantage of high corrosion resistance, but it becomes a disadvantage for dissolution and purification, and it is difficult to use common and cheap inorganic acids as their leaching agents. Except for the most corrosive hydrofluoric acid, tantalum is difficult to be dissolved by other inorganic acids, and its solubility is very small. At present, the domestic industry generally adopts hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid mixed leaching method to decompose tantalum-containing ore and tantalum-containing slag. Hydrofluoric acid with a mass fraction of 60% to 70% is generally used for leaching, and the decomposition temperature is 90°C to 100°C. And the acid consumption exceeds the stoichiometric theoretical consumpt...
