Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vanadium extraction from shale. Specifically, it relates to a method for preparing vanadium, chromium, aluminum, and silicon products by cascade separation of vanadium shale. Background Art

[0002] Alkali leaching of vanadium shale has the characteristics of good selectivity, few types of impurity ions, high alkalinity, high concentration of impurity ions in the solution, and less slag. However, the leaching solution belongs to a high-alkali multi-impurity system, and the pH of the leaching solution is usually higher than 14, containing high concentrations of Na + , K + , Si, Al, Cr and other impurity ions; under alkaline conditions, silicon exists in the form of SiO3 2- , and it is easy to form silicon-aluminum colloid with Al 3+ , adsorb vanadate ions, resulting in the loss of vanadium; then there is the problem of multi-metal separation. Chromium (Cr) and vanadium (V) have similar chemical properties, and it is difficult to achieve selective separation by traditional precipitation methods; while aluminum (Al) exists in the form of AlO2 - , and it will compete with vanadium for extraction sites when using the extraction method for separation, resulting in poor separation effect. The above problems seriously restrict the recovery of vanadium and the purity of vanadium products. Therefore, developing green and efficient separation technologies and realizing the separation and resource utilization of vanadium and impurity ions have become one of the hot topics of concern for scientific and technological personnel.

[0003] For the patented technology of "a method for extracting vanadium from vanadium shale by segmented microwave roasting-stepwise alkali leaching" (CN 115725863A), by utilizing the efficient selective heating characteristics of microwave on vanadium shale, the lattice destruction of vanadium-containing minerals in the microwave crystal-breaking roasting process is strengthened, and thus the efficiency of microwave crystal-breaking roasting is improved. However, the vanadium leaching rate of this process is relatively low, only 78.94%.

[0004] Long Sisi et al. (Long Sisi, Feng Qiming, Zhang Guofan, Ou Leming, Lu Yiping. Recovery of silicon and vanadium from the leaching solution of the V-Si-CO3 2- -H2O system and regeneration of the leaching agent [J]. Journal of Central South University (Science and Technology), 2014, 45: 663-670) proposed a process of stone coal oxidative roasting-alkali leaching-neutralization for impurity removal-solvent extraction-ammonium salt precipitation of vanadium-calcination to produce refined vanadium. This process directly precipitates silicon from the high-concentration silicon-containing leaching solution with CO2 as the pH adjuster, and uses the causticization process to increase the alkalinity of the remaining solution after vanadium extraction, so as to regenerate the leaching agent. However, the purity of the white carbon black product prepared by this process is relatively low, only reaching 98%.

[0005] The patented technology of "A method for leaching vanadium from vanadium-bearing shale ore" (CN 102031367A) involves crushing and grinding the vanadium-bearing shale ore, adding a leaching solution prepared with ammonium persulfate and mixed alkali, leaching at normal temperature and pressure, separating the solid and liquid after leaching to obtain a vanadium-containing leaching solution, purifying and adjusting the pH value of the leaching solution, enriching vanadium ions to obtain a vanadium precipitation mother liquor, removing impurities such as silicon and phosphorus from the vanadium precipitation mother liquor and then adding ammonia water or ammonium salt to obtain ammonium polyvanadate precipitate, and calcining the ammonium polyvanadate to obtain vanadium pentoxide. The process flow is shortened, the impurity treatment operation is simple, and the production cost can be reduced. However, for every 1 ton of V2O5 produced, approximately 46.39 - 59.67 tons of vanadium extraction tailings are generated, and the amount of tailings is relatively large.

[0006] Wang Xuewen et al. (Wang Xuewen, Wang Huaguang, Gao Daxiong. A clean technology to separate and recover vanadium and chromium from chromate solutions[J]. Hydrometallurgy, 2018, 177: 94 - 99.) precipitated a mixture of polyvanadic acid and sodium polyvanadate from a Na3VO4 solution by hydrolysis, and obtained V2O5 after calcining and washing it. Under the condition that the pH value is 3.8 - 4.5, Fe 2+ or Fe 3+ was added to remove vanadium residues in the vanadium precipitation mother liquor, and then Na2SO3 was used to reduce Cr(Ⅵ) in the solution to Cr(Ⅲ), and Cr2O3·xH2O precipitate was formed under the conditions of 90℃ and pH > 8.5. The chromium oxide hydrate can be processed to obtain Cr2O3. However, the purity of the obtained vanadium pentoxide product is 98.6%, and the purity of the chromium sesquioxide product is 98.7%, and the purities are both relatively low.

[0007] The patented technology of "A production process for extracting aluminum, vanadium, molybdenum, and nickel elements from black shale without three-waste emissions" (CN 104152687B) involves aging, leaching, and solid-liquid separation of the vanadium shale, adding ammonium salt or potassium salt to the solution to form alum crystals, then oxidizing the solution and using resin adsorption and desorption to obtain a vanadium-rich solution, precipitating vanadium with ammonium salt to form vanadium pentoxide, and then adjusting the pH to form molybdic acid crystals and evaporating and concentrating to form nickel sulfate crystals. However, the recovery rate of aluminum is less than 70%, and the recovery rate is relatively low.

[0008] In summary, the existing vanadium extraction processes from shale still have technical defects such as low leaching rate, large amount of slag, low product purity, and low recovery rate. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The present invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art, and the purpose is to provide a method for preparing vanadium, chromium, aluminum, and silicon products by cascade separation of vanadium shale with high leaching rate, small slag amount, high product purity, and high recovery rate.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the specific steps of the technical solution adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0011] Step 1: Mix vanadium shale fine abrasive and sodium hydroxide according to the mass ratio of vanadium shale fine abrasive to sodium hydroxide of 1:0.2 - 5, roast, leach in a water bath, and perform solid-liquid separation to obtain vanadium shale alkaline leaching solution.

[0012] Charge materials according to the mass ratio of the sum of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium carboxymethylcellulose to the mass of silicon in the vanadium shale alkaline leaching solution of 1 - 10:100, mix to obtain a mixed solution; wherein, the molar ratio of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide to sodium carboxymethylcellulose is 1:1 - 10; then adjust the pH value of the mixed solution to 6.0 - 10.0 with sulfuric acid with a concentration of 30 - 50 vol%, place it in a water bath for reaction, and perform solid-liquid separation to obtain desiliconized solution and silicon precursor I.

[0013] Wash silicon precursor I with sulfuric acid with a concentration of 5 - 15 vol% for 1 - 5 times to obtain silicon precursor II and acid washing solution.

[0014] Wash silicon precursor II with clear water for 1 - 5 times to obtain silicon precursor III and water washing solution.

[0015] Mix the acid washing solution and the water washing solution to obtain a washing solution.

[0016] Step 2: Adjust the pH of the desiliconized solution to 8.0 - 12.0 with sodium hydroxide solution to obtain the desiliconized solution with adjusted pH, and then co-extract vanadium and chromium in the desiliconized solution with adjusted pH according to the volume ratio of blank organic phase to the desiliconized solution with adjusted pH of 1:0.1 - 10. The co-extraction time is 1 - 9 min to obtain vanadium-chromium organic phase.

[0017] Adjust the pH of the washing solution to 1.0 - 2.0 with sodium hydroxide to obtain the washing solution with adjusted pH, and then extract and separate vanadium and aluminum in the washing solution with adjusted pH according to the volume ratio of blank organic phase to the washing solution with adjusted pH of 1:0.1 - 10. The extraction and separation time is 1 - 9 min to obtain vanadium-rich organic phase and aluminum-containing raffinate.

[0018] Charge materials according to the volume ratio of the vanadium-rich organic phase to the vanadium-chromium organic phase of 1:1 - 3, mix to obtain a mixed organic phase; then perform acid back-extraction on the mixed organic phase with a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 0.5 - 2.5 mol / L to obtain vanadium-rich solution and chromium-containing organic phase.

[0019] The chromium-containing organic phase is subjected to alkaline back-extraction with a sodium hydroxide solution having a concentration of 0.5 to 2.5 mol / L to obtain a chromium-rich solution and a lean organic phase.

[0020] Step 3: Wash the lean organic phase 2 to 4 times with sulfuric acid having a concentration of 5 to 15 vol% to obtain a regenerated organic phase, and return the regenerated organic phase to Step 2 to replace the blank organic phase for cyclic extraction of vanadium and chromium and vanadium and aluminum. Among them, the volume ratio of sulfuric acid having a concentration of 5 to 15 vol% to the lean organic phase is 1:1 to 10.

[0021] Step 4: Calcinate the silica precursor III at 550 to 850 °C for 0.5 to 2 h to obtain a white carbon black product.

[0022] Adjust the pH of the aluminum-containing raffinate to 5 to 6 with sodium hydroxide to form aluminum hydroxide precipitate, and calcine it at 600 to 800 °C for 0.5 to 2 h to obtain an aluminum oxide product.

[0023] Adjust the pH of the vanadium-rich solution to 1.8 to 2.0 with ammonia water, precipitate vanadium at 90 to 95 °C for 1.5 to 2.0 h to obtain ammonium polyvanadate, and calcine the ammonium polyvanadate at 500 to 600 °C for 0.5 to 2 h to obtain a vanadium pentoxide product.

[0024] Add sodium sulfite to the chromium-rich solution, adjust the pH to 8 to 10 to form chromium hydroxide, and calcine the chromium hydroxide at 800 to 1000 °C for 1.5 to 3.0 h to obtain a chromium sesquioxide product.

[0025] In this technical solution:

[0026] The vanadium shale fine abrasive is obtained by first decarbonizing the vanadium shale and then grinding it to a particle size of less than 74 μm accounting for 75 wt%. Among them, the vanadium shale: V2O5 is 0.50 to 1.8 wt%, SiO2 is 45 to 60 wt%, Al2O3 is 5 to 10 wt%, Cr2O3 is 0.1 to 1.0 wt%, K2O is 2 to 6 wt%, CaO is 3 to 8 wt%, and Na2O is 0.2 to 0.6 wt%.

[0027] The temperature of the roasting is 400 to 600 °C, and the time of the roasting is 0.5 to 2 h.

[0028] The liquid-solid ratio of the water leaching is 1 to 4:1, the temperature of the water leaching is 25 to 95 °C, and the time of the water leaching is 0.5 to 2 h.

[0029] The temperature of the reaction in the water bath is 50 to 95 °C, and the time is 60 to 120 min.

[0030] The blank organic phase refers to the organic phase containing an amine extractant, a synergistic extractant, and sulfonated kerosene; wherein: the proportion of the amine extractant in the blank organic phase is 5-25 vol%, the proportion of the synergistic extractant in the blank organic phase is 5-15 vol%, and the rest is sulfonated kerosene.

[0031] The amine extractant is one of N235, N1923, and N263; the synergistic extractant is one of sec-octanol and TBP.

[0032] The acid stripping is carried out with a sulfuric acid solution. The acid consumption for acid stripping is 1.0-2.5 mol / L, the phase ratio O / A for acid stripping is 1-5:1, and the time for acid stripping is 15-30 min.

[0033] The alkali stripping is carried out with a sodium hydroxide solution. The alkali consumption for alkali stripping is 0.5-2.0 mol / L, the phase ratio O / A for alkali stripping is 1-5:1, and the time for alkali stripping is 5-20 min.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] 1. The present invention introduces molten alkali, causing local deformation of the fine vanadium shale abrasive, thereby achieving complete decomposition of the fine vanadium shale abrasive. During the transformation of the fine vanadium shale abrasive into Na2SiO3 and anorthite, the defects of the fine vanadium shale abrasive are enhanced, promoting the dissolution of silicon, resulting in the expansion and cracking of the fine vanadium shale abrasive. Therefore, more cracks appear in the fine vanadium shale abrasive, and it becomes more porous, strengthening the release of vanadium and effectively promoting the improvement of the vanadium and silicon leaching rates.

[0036] 2. The present invention introduces cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. During the production of silica white, the two act on silica white in the form of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds, alternately adsorbing on the surface of silica white, hindering the adsorption of impurity ions on the surface of silica white, thereby improving the purity of the silica white product, and the purity of the silica white (silicon dioxide) product is higher than 99%. When extracting and separating vanadium and aluminum, vanadium in the solution forms a V-O bond with the amine extractant, enriching vanadium in the organic phase, while aluminum cannot form a bond with the amine extractant, reducing the ion concentration in the solution, thereby improving the purity of aluminum trioxide, and the purity of the aluminum trioxide product is higher than 98.8%. When co-extracting vanadium and chromium, vanadium binds to the amine extractant through a V-O bond, and chromium binds to the amine extractant through a Cr-O bond. Vanadium and chromium are enriched in the organic phase. During acid stripping, the acid breaks the V-O bond, while the Cr-O bond remains unchanged, enriching vanadium in the vanadium-rich solution. During alkali stripping, the Cr-O bond is broken, enriching chromium in the chromium-rich solution, thereby improving the purity of vanadium pentoxide and chromium trioxide products; the purity of the vanadium pentoxide product is higher than 98.5%, and the purity of the chromium trioxide product is higher than 98.8%.

[0037] 3. The improvement of the vanadium and silicon leaching rates in the present invention reduces the remaining vanadium extraction tailings. For every 1 ton of V2O5 produced by the present invention, 34.56 tons of vanadium extraction tailings are generated, which is a 25.5% - 42.08% reduction in the amount of tailings compared to the general alkali leaching process. In contrast, for every 1 ton of V2O5 extracted by the traditional shale vanadium extraction process, 120 - 150 tons of tailings are generated. Compared with this, the amount of generated tailings is reduced by 71.2% - 76.96%.

[0038] 4. The present invention adopts a cascade separation process, which reduces the adsorption of vanadium, aluminum, and chromium during the preparation of silicon products. In the subsequent extraction process, through countercurrent extraction, 99.9% extraction and stripping of vanadium and chromium in the desiliconized liquid are achieved, fully enriching vanadium and chromium. For every 1000 tons of vanadium shale processed by the present invention: 13.23 tons of vanadium pentoxide products, 381.75 tons of silicon dioxide products, 18.10 tons of aluminum oxide products, and 2.65 tons of chromium oxide products are produced; the recovery rate of vanadium is higher than 89.8%, the recovery rate of silicon is higher than 90.8%, the recovery rate of aluminum is higher than 87.9%, and the recovery rate of chromium is higher than 90.4%.

[0039] Therefore, the present invention has the characteristics of high leaching rate, less tailings, high product purity, and high recovery rate. Specific Embodiments

[0171] The advantages of this specific embodiment are as follows:

[0172] 1. This specific embodiment introduces molten alkali, causing local deformation of the finely ground vanadium shale, thereby achieving complete decomposition of the finely ground vanadium shale. During the transformation of the finely ground vanadium shale into Na2SiO3 and anorthite, the defects of the finely ground vanadium shale are enhanced, promoting the dissolution of silicon, resulting in the expansion and cracking of the finely ground vanadium shale. Therefore, more cracks appear in the finely ground vanadium shale, and it becomes more porous, strengthening the release of vanadium and effectively promoting the increase in the leaching rates of vanadium and silicon.

[0173] 2. This specific embodiment introduces cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. During the production of silica white, the two act on silica white in the form of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds, alternately adsorbing on the surface of silica white, hindering the adsorption of impurity ions on the surface of silica white, thereby improving the purity of the silica white product, and the purity of the silica white (silicon dioxide) product is higher than 99%. When extracting and separating vanadium and aluminum, vanadium in the solution forms a V - O bond with the amine extractant, enriching vanadium into the organic phase, while aluminum cannot form a bond with the amine extractant, reducing the concentration of ions in the solution, thereby improving the purity of aluminum oxide, and the purity of the aluminum oxide product is higher than 98.8%. When co - extracting vanadium and chromium, vanadium binds to the amine extractant through a V - O bond, and chromium binds to the amine extractant through a Cr - O bond. Vanadium and chromium are enriched into the organic phase. During acid back - extraction, the acid breaks the V - O bond, while the Cr - O bond remains unchanged, enriching vanadium into the vanadium - rich solution. During alkali back - extraction, the Cr - O bond is broken, enriching chromium into the chromium - rich solution, thereby improving the purity of the vanadium pentoxide and chromium sesquioxide products; the purity of the vanadium pentoxide product is higher than 98.5%, and the purity of the chromium sesquioxide product is higher than 98.8%.

[0174] 3. The increase in the leaching rates of vanadium and silicon in this specific embodiment reduces the remaining vanadium - extraction tailings. This specific embodiment produces 34.56 tons of vanadium - extraction tailings per ton of V2O5 produced, a reduction of 25.5% - 42.08% in the amount of tailings compared to the general alkali - leaching process; while the traditional vanadium - extraction process from shale produces 120 - 150 tons of tailings per ton of V2O5 extracted. In comparison, the amount of tailings generated is reduced by 71.2% - 76.96%.

[0175] 4. This specific embodiment adopts a cascade separation process, reducing the adsorption of vanadium, aluminum, and chromium during the preparation of silicon products. In the subsequent extraction process, through countercurrent extraction, 99.9% extraction and stripping of vanadium and chromium in the desiliconized liquid are achieved, enriching vanadium and chromium sufficiently. For every 1000 tons of vanadium shale processed in this specific embodiment: 13.23 tons of vanadium pentoxide products, 381.75 tons of silicon dioxide products, 18.10 tons of aluminum oxide products, and 2.65 tons of chromium sesquioxide products are produced; the recovery rate of vanadium is higher than 89.8%, the recovery rate of silicon is higher than 90.8%, the recovery rate of aluminum is higher than 87.9%, and the recovery rate of chromium is higher than 90.4%.

[0176] Therefore, this specific embodiment features high leaching rate, less slag volume, high product purity, and high recovery rate.
