Embodiment 1

[0064] The embodiment uses potassium-containing shale and analytically pure CaO as raw materials. Among them, the potassium-bearing rock samples come from the potassium-bearing sand shale mining area in Pingshun area, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, and the analytically pure CaO contains 98% CaO. The chemical analysis results of the ore are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Specific steps include:

[0068] Step 1: crush 500 grams of potassium-containing rock, add 400 ml of water, grind in a ball mill for 15 minutes, filter, and dry to obtain a potassium-containing rock sample that has passed a 200-mesh sieve;

[0069] Step 2: Take 50 grams of potassium-containing rock sample, add 70 grams of alkaline ad...

Embodiment 2

[0074] Example 2: Influence of molten salt thermal activation temperature on potassium activation rate and rubidium leaching rate

[0075] The steps of the method described in Example 1 were adopted, but the reaction temperatures for thermal activation of molten salt in step 2 were adjusted to be 160°C, 200°C, 240°C, 260°C and 280°C respectively, and experiments were carried out at different reaction temperatures. The results are shown in figure 2 .

[0076] from figure 2 It can be seen that with the increase of temperature, the effective potassium activation rate and the rubidium leaching rate both increase gradually. The higher the temperature, the more intense the reaction. At 260 °C, the effective potassium activation rate was 91%, and the rubidium leaching rate was 42%. The activation rate growth then slowed down. Excessive temperature requires high equipment material and high energy consumption. Taking into account comprehensively, the optimal temperature is chosen...

Embodiment 3

[0077] Example 3: Influence of molten salt thermal activation reaction time on potassium activation rate and rubidium leaching rate

[0078] Using the steps of the method described in Example 1, the reaction temperature of the thermal activation of molten salt is set to be 260 ° C, but the reaction times of thermal activation of molten salt in the adjustment step 2 are respectively 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h and 6h. Experiments were carried out at different reaction times, and the results are shown in image 3 .

[0079] from image 3 It can be seen that the effective potassium activation rate and the rubidium leaching rate increase with the increase of time, and remain basically unchanged after 4 hours with the extension of the reaction time. The phase of the hydrothermal system is complex. In order to save costs, reduce energy consumption, and avoid side reactions, the time should not be too long, and the optimal reaction time is 4h.

Abstract

The invention relates to the fields of mineral processing and hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method for synergistically extracting potassium and rubidium from potassium-containing rocks. The method includes the following steps: crushing and grinding potassium-containing rocks to obtain ore powder; mixing potassium-containing rocks with quicklime or slaked lime as an alkaline additive, adding water, and placing molten salt in a molten salt furnace for thermal activation; Solid-liquid separation to obtain filtrate and filter residue containing rubidium and potassium, the filter residue is used to produce silicon-calcium fertilizer; the filtrate is carbonized by adding potassium carbonate aqueous solution, and filtered to remove impurities to obtain the secondary filtrate; the secondary filtrate is evaporated and crystallized to obtain potassium and rubidium Crystals: Potassium and rubidium crystals are roasted to obtain potassium and rubidium enrichment salts, which are purified and separated to obtain potassium carbonate and rubidium carbonate. Using lime as an alkaline additive, the solid-liquid separation filtrate is alkaline, calcium ions precipitate into the tailings, and the tailings are used to prepare silicon-calcium fertilizers. Compared with using sodium hydroxide as an alkaline additive, the cost is lower and the filtrate saves Potassium and sodium separation process is beneficial to the purification of potassium and rubidium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of mineral processing and hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method for synergistically extracting potassium and rubidium from potassium-containing rocks. Background technique [0002] my country's water-soluble potash resources are poor, and the import dependence of potash fertilizers has been over 50% over the years. The water-insoluble potassium ore (potassium-containing rock) is rich in resources, and a lot of researches on potassium extraction have been carried out at home and abroad. Problems such as high energy consumption, high cost, single product, low added value, and poor economic benefits have not been applied on a large scale. [0003] Rubidium is an extremely important rare metal resource with unique optoelectronic properties and excellent chemical activity. It is widely used in military industry, electronic instruments and meters, electric light sources, medicine and other fields. Potassium-bearing ...
