Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy of non-ferrous metals, and particularly relates to a method for nearly total element recovery from low-precious metal zinc replacement powder. Background Art

[0002] Hydrometallurgy is a method in which ores, beneficiated concentrates or other raw materials enriched by ore dressing are contacted with an aqueous solution or other liquid, and through chemical reactions, etc., the valuable metals contained in the raw materials are transferred into the liquid phase, and then various valuable metals contained in the liquid phase are separated and enriched, and finally recovered in the form of metals or other compounds. One of the very important steps in hydrometallurgy is to extract valuable metals from the solution. At present, the methods for extracting metals from the solution are mainly divided into electrolysis and chemical methods. Among them, the chemical methods mainly include hydrogenation reduction method, sulfur dioxide reduction method, ferrous reduction method, replacement method, etc. Considering that the standard electrode potential of zinc is -0.763V, it can reduce the metals with negative electrode potential, and it is a commonly used replacement agent and one of the preferred replacement agents for recovering and enriching valuable metals in low-precious metal feed solutions.

[0003] At present, the treatment of zinc replacement powder is mainly used to recover elements such as iron, copper, and zinc in the zinc replacement powder. The treatment methods include conventional acid leaching, pressure oxidation acid leaching, etc. By leaching one or several elements in the zinc replacement powder into the solution, and then extracting the valuable metals by extraction. However, this method often only targets a certain specific element, and the recovery and utilization of other elements are not high, and the equipment requirements are high, making it difficult to achieve industrialization, resulting in waste of resources.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN 117845078 A discloses "A Method for Recovering Indium from Zinc Replacement Residue". After steps such as acid leaching, reduction, and extraction, indium recovery is achieved. However, this method has high equipment requirements, a long operation process, and only targets indium in zinc replacement residue, without mentioning the recovery and utilization of other valuable metals, resulting in waste of resources. Chinese Patent CN114318017 A discloses "A Method for Deep Leaching of Zinc, Copper, Gallium, and Germanium from Zinc Replacement Residue". This process uses two-stage acid leaching and can achieve a leaching rate of more than 95% for zinc, copper, gallium, and germanium. However, this method has high equipment requirements and only mentions the leaching of several elements, without covering the separation and utilization of valuable metals in it, and the process is incomplete and unable to realize economic value. Chinese Patent CN 113430387 A discloses "A Method for Total Extraction and Separation of Gallium, Iron, and Zinc from Sulfuric Acid Leaching Solution of Zinc Replacement Residue", which can achieve a recovery rate of more than 99% for gallium and iron and more than 85% for zinc. However, this method uses a large amount of extractant, has a complex operation, and a high cost, which is not conducive to large-scale production. Chinese Patent CN 106834692A discloses "A Comprehensive Recovery Method for Valuable Metals in Zinc Powder Replacement Residue". This method performs leaching under high temperature and high pressure. Although a high leaching rate can be obtained, it has high equipment requirements, a large investment, and high energy consumption. At the same time, it does not mention the treatment of heavy metals such as cadmium and chromium, and the enrichment of these heavy metals in the system will affect the leaching efficiency and reduce the comprehensive recovery rate.

[0005] In summary, the current treatment processes for zinc replacement powder have the following deficiencies: 1. Only the leaching step or the extraction and purification step is considered, and a complete process for treating zinc replacement powder is not mentioned. Only one or a few elements are targeted, and the valuable elements are not comprehensively utilized. 2. For the recovery and utilization of valuable elements, extraction is basically used, a large amount of extractant is used, the working environment is harsh, and the extractant is expensive, resulting in a high cost, which is not conducive to large-scale production. 3. The treatment of heavy metals such as chromium, cadmium, and thallium is not mentioned, which will cause secondary pollution.

[0006] The present invention provides a process for realizing the high-value utilization of nearly all elements in zinc replacement powder under mild conditions. It can be carried out at room temperature without the need to provide high-pressure conditions. An acid solution is used to leach zinc replacement powder, and then various valuable metals are selectively extracted from the leaching solution and made into corresponding downstream products to maximize value, without generating secondary pollution, and without introducing fluorine. It has low equipment requirements, a simple process, and is easy to operate, making up for the deficiencies of the existing technical means for treating zinc replacement powder. Summary of the Invention

In addition, a small amount of thallium is also leached out, with a thallium leaching rate of 67.2%. To realize the high-value utilization of copper in the copper-containing solution, the copper in the copper-containing solution is selectively enriched using the extractant first to obtain a zinc-containing solution and a copper-rich organic phase, and then 2 mol / L sulfuric acid is used for stripping to obtain a copper sulfate solution. The extractant used in this process consists of N902 and sulfonated kerosene. The mass concentration of N902 is 20%, the O / A ratio is 1:1, the extraction time is 10 min, and the extraction rate is 96.3%.

The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution used is 10 mol / L, the liquid-solid ratio is 10:1, the dissolution temperature is maintained at 90 °C, and the dissolution time is 3 h. After the reaction is complete, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain a lead-containing liquid and an alkali-soluble solid. The main component composition of the lead-containing liquid is shown in Table 17:

[0084] Table 17 Composition of the lead-containing solution

[0085]

[0086] As can be seen from the data in Table 17, the main component of the lead-containing solution is lead ions, and the concentration of OH - ions in the solution is very high. Therefore, in order to realize the high-value utilization of lead in the lead-containing solution, sodium carbonate is added as a precipitant to the lead-containing solution. After stirring and precipitating for 3 h, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain lead carbonate products. The composition of the alkali-soluble solid is shown in Table 18 below:

[0087] Table 18 Composition of the alkali-soluble solid

[0088]

[0089] Calculated from the data in Table 18, the lead dissolution rate is 87%. The alkali-soluble solid is dissolved with 5 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution. Chlorine gas is introduced during the dissolution process, and the liquid-solid ratio is maintained at 5:1. Stir and dissolve at 80 °C for 5 h. After the dissolution is completed, iron powder with a concentration of 10 g / L is added for replacement. After replacement at room temperature for 1.5 h, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain crude bismuth, and then molten refining is carried out at 800 °C to obtain bismuth ingots.

[0091] The main components of a low-precious-metal zinc replacement powder are shown in Table 19:

[0092] Table 19 Composition of a low-precious-metal zinc replacement powder

[0093]

[0094] According to the component analysis of the zinc replacement powder in Table 19, sulfuric acid solution is used to dissolve zinc and copper in the zinc replacement powder. The concentration of the sulfuric acid solution used is 3 mol / L, the liquid-solid ratio is 1:1, hydrogen peroxide is added as an oxidant during dissolution, the addition amount of the oxidant is 10%, the dissolution process is carried out at room temperature, and the dissolution time is 1 h. After the reaction is complete, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain a copper-containing solution and an acid-soluble solid. The composition of the copper-containing solution is shown in Table 20.

[0095] Table 20 Composition of the copper-containing solution

[0096]

[0097] As can be seen from the data in Table 20, sulfuric acid dissolution mainly targets zinc and copper in the zinc replacement powder, and their leaching rates are 93.0% and 95.8% respectively. In addition, a small amount of thallium is also leached out, and the thallium leaching rate is 65.6%. To realize the high-value utilization of copper in the copper-containing solution, the copper in the copper-containing solution is selectively enriched by the extractant first to obtain a zinc-containing solution and a copper-rich organic phase, and then 2 mol / L sulfuric acid is used for back-extraction to obtain a copper sulfate solution. The extractant used in this process is composed of β-naphthalene sulfonic acid, N902 and sulfonated kerosene. The mass concentration of β-naphthalene sulfonic acid is 1.5%, the mass concentration of N902 is 30%, the O / A ratio is 2:1, the extraction time is 20 min, the extraction rate is 98.2%, and the structure and spatial configuration of naphthalene sulfonic acid can assist N902 to improve the extraction rate of impurities. Then, sodium chloride and a reducing agent are added to the copper sulfate solution after back-extraction. The addition amount of sodium chloride is 1:1 with the copper ions in the solution. The reducing agent sulfur dioxide is added for reduction at 50 °C (the addition amount of sulfur dioxide is 1:1 with the copper ions in the solution). After reacting for 1 h, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain cuprous chloride, realizing the recovery and high-value utilization of copper. At this time, the main component in the zinc-containing solution is zinc sulfate, but there are still a small amount of heavy metals such as thallium. Therefore, zinc powder is added to the zinc-containing solution for replacement. The addition amount of zinc powder is 0.1 g / L. The zinc-containing solution after replacement is subjected to zinc electrowinning, and the solid is returned to the first step for dissolution. The composition of the acid-soluble solid is shown in Table 21.

[0098] Table 21 Composition of Acid-Soluble Solid

[0099]

[0100] Leach gold and silver in the acid-soluble solid using a gold leaching agent (which is commercially available). During leaching, ensure that the liquid-solid ratio is 5:1, the leaching time is 24 h, the leaching pH is 10, and the leaching temperature is 25 °C. After the reaction ends, perform solid-liquid separation to obtain a gold-containing solution and a lead-containing solid. The gold-containing solution is extracted with a first organic phase to obtain a gold-rich organic phase and a silver-containing solution. The extractant used for extraction is dibutyl carbitol and sulfonated kerosene. Wash the first organic phase with 0.5 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid, and reduce gold using a sodium sulfite solution. The ratio of the amount of sodium sulfite added to the gold ions in the solution is 0.5:1. After smelting at 1100 °C, a gold ingot is obtained. Add ammonium ferrous sulfate with a mass fraction of 15% to the silver-containing solution, and then extract it with a second organic phase. The extraction rate is 99.90%. The second organic phase used is diisooctyl sulfide and sulfonated kerosene. Ammonium ferrous sulfate selectively binds with silver ions and synergistically acts with diisooctyl sulfide, effectively improving the extraction rate of silver ions. Then wash the second organic phase with 0.5 mol / L nitric acid, and then back-extract silver using a glucose solution. The ratio of the amount of glucose added to the silver ions in the solution is 1:1. After smelting at 1000 °C, a silver ingot is obtained.

[0103]

[0104] As can be seen from the data in Table 22, the main component of the lead-containing solid is lead sulfate. Dissolve it using a sodium hydroxide solution. The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution used is 5 mol / L, the liquid-solid ratio is 5:1, the dissolution temperature is maintained at 50 °C, and the dissolution time is 1 h. After the reaction is complete, perform solid-liquid separation to obtain a lead-containing liquid and an alkali-soluble solid. The main component composition of the lead-containing liquid is shown in Table 23:

[0105] Table 23 Composition of the lead-containing solution

[0106]

[0107] As can be seen from the data in Table 23, the main component of the lead-containing solution is lead ions, and the concentration of OH - ions in the solution is very high. To realize the high-value utilization of lead in the lead-containing solution, introduce CO 2 into the lead-containing solution as a precipitant. After stirring and precipitating for 1 h, perform solid-liquid separation to obtain a lead carbonate product. The composition of the alkali-soluble solid is as follows in Table 24:

[0109]

[0110] It can be calculated from the data in Table 24 that the lead dissolution rate is 71.2%. The alkali-soluble solid is dissolved with 2 mol / L sulfuric acid solution. 15 g of ferric chloride is added during the dissolution process. The liquid-solid ratio is maintained at 2:1, and stirring and dissolution are carried out at 50 °C for 3 h. After the dissolution is completed, 5 g / L of lead powder is added for replacement. After replacement at room temperature for 0.5 h, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain crude bismuth, and then molten refining is carried out at 600 °C to obtain bismuth ingots.
