Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vanadium battery, and particularly relates to a method for preparing vanadium battery electrolyte by short process of alkaline vanadium solution. BACKGROUND

[0002] The all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has become one of the preferred technologies for large-scale energy storage due to its excellent cycle stability and scalability. The commercial VRFB electrolyte usually adopts a sulfuric acid system (V 3+ / V 4+ / V 5+ ), and the pH value needs to be maintained in the range of 0-2 to obtain the best electrochemical performance. However, more than 90% of vanadium resources extraction processes currently use alkaline leaching methods (such as sodium roasting-water leaching), and the obtained leaching solution has a pH>10 and contains Fe, Al, Si and other impurities. The traditional process needs to be repeatedly adjusted by acid and alkali to convert it into an acidic electrolyte, resulting in a long process and high cost.

[0003] There are three major technical problems in the current conversion of alkaline vanadium solution: (1) Incomplete removal of impurities: step-by-step precipitation method is used, but Fe and Al residues still reach 20-50 ppm, which will form a colloidal blockage in the ion exchange membrane during the subsequent acidification process; (2) Large consumption of acid and alkali: first neutralize with sulfuric acid to pH=2 to precipitate silicon, then readjust to pH=7 to remove iron and aluminum, and finally acidify to pH=0, with acid and alkali consumption reaching 3 times the theoretical value; (3) Low current efficiency: in the acidic electrolysis, V 4+ / V 5+ conversion current efficiency is only 82-85%, and the electrode is easily passivated by silicon and aluminum deposits.

[0004] Recent improvement attempts have obvious shortcomings. The solvent extraction method uses P204 extractant, which can deeply remove impurities, but the loss of organic phase increases the cost by 30%; the biological adsorption method uses sulfate-reducing bacteria to remove heavy metals, but the bacteria are inactivated under strong acid conditions; the catalytic electrolysis method introduces Ce 3+ / Mn 2+ catalyst, but metal ions pollute the electrolyte and affect the battery life.

[0005] Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0019] Figure 1 A flow chart of a vanadium battery electrolyte preparation method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the following will further illustrate the embodiments of the present application in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings.

[0021] It should be noted that all the expressions of "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish two same name but different entities or different parameters. It can be seen that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of description, and should not be understood as a limitation of the embodiments of the present application. The subsequent embodiments will not be described one by one.

[0022] As mentioned in the above background, the method process of preparing vanadium battery electrolyte from alkaline vanadium solution in the prior art is lengthy, cannot realize direct conversion from "alkaline leaching solution to acidic electrolyte", and needs to go through an intermediate pH value transition stage. To solve this problem, the present application proposes a short process method capable of directly preparing high-purity acidic electrolyte from alkaline vanadium solution, which adopts a three-stage process route of "alkaline deep impurity removal → vanadium form directional conversion → acidic efficient electrolysis".

[0023] Reference Figure 1 The present application proposes a method for preparing vanadium battery electrolyte from alkaline vanadium solution by a short process, comprising the following steps: S1, adding an adsorbent to the alkaline vanadium solution to remove impurities to obtain a vanadium solution after impurity removal; wherein the adsorbent comprises mercapto chitosan microspheres; S2, mixing and reacting the vanadium solution after impurity removal and a conversion agent to convert V(OH)4 + in the vanadium solution after impurity removal into VO 2+ (that is, to convert pentavalent vanadium into tetravalent vanadium) to obtain a vanadium solution after conversion; wherein the conversion agent comprises ascorbic acid and sulfite; S3, adjusting the vanadium solution after conversion to be acidic and adding an aminopolycarboxylic acid ligand to obtain an electrolyte to be electrolyzed, and electrolyzing the electrolyte to be electrolyzed to obtain an electrolyte containing V 3+ and VO 2+ .

[0024] In some embodiments, the alkaline vanadium solution has a pH of 9-12 and contains at least one impurity of Fe, Al and Si. The alkaline vanadium solution can be a leaching solution obtained by an alkaline leaching method (such as sodium roasting-water leaching). In some embodiments, the V concentration of the alkaline vanadium solution is 30-40 g / L, the Fe concentration is 1.5-3.0 g / L, the Al concentration is 1.0-2.0 g / L, and the Si concentration is 1.0-1.5 g / L.

[0025] Step S1 corresponds to the alkaline deep impurity removal stage. In this stage, the mercapto chitosan, a biological adsorbent, is used as the adsorbent to remove impurities, which can effectively adsorb and remove Fe, Al, Si and other impurities in the alkaline vanadium solution. The adsorption mechanism is: under alkaline conditions, the mercapto group forms stable coordination bonds with Fe 3+ , Al 3+ , and Si is electrostatically adsorbed in the form of SiO3 2- . The adsorption capacity of mercapto chitosan under strong alkaline conditions can be increased by 8 times compared with traditional resins, and can be simply regenerated and reused after elution with 0.1 mol / L HCl. In some embodiments, the impurity residual amount of the vanadium solution after impurity removal obtained by step S1 is: Fe <0.5 ppm, Al <0.3 ppm, and Si <2 ppm, and the impurity removal effect is obvious.

[0026] In some embodiments, the particle size of the thiolated chitosan microspheres is 50-100 μm, and the thiol content is 2.5-5 mmol / g, thereby ensuring good impurity removal effect. In some embodiments, the adsorbent is added to the basic vanadium solution to remove impurities, including: after adding the adsorbent to the basic vanadium solution, oscillating at 30-60°C for 1-3 h, and then filtering, wherein the solid-liquid ratio of the adsorbent and the basic vanadium solution is 3-8 g / L.

[0027] In some embodiments, the method of the present application further comprises preparing thiolated chitosan microspheres by crosslinking chitosan with 2,3-dimercaptosulfonic acid sodium (DMPS), and the preparation method specifically comprises: dissolving chitosan in an acid solution to obtain a dissolved solution; wherein the mass of chitosan is 2-10% of the mass of the acid solution; adding 2,3-dimercaptosulfonic acid sodium to the dissolved solution, and reacting at 50-90°C for 3-6 h under an inert atmosphere (such as nitrogen) to obtain a post-reaction solution; wherein the mass of 2,3-dimercaptosulfonic acid sodium is 2-5% of the mass of the dissolved solution; dropping the post-reaction solution into a basic solution or performing spray drying to obtain thiolated chitosan microspheres. The degree of deacetylation of chitosan can be ≥95%. The acid solution can be an acetic acid solution with a mass percentage concentration of 1-5% (such as 2%), or it can also be other dilute acids with a mass percentage concentration of 1-10%. The basic solution can be a NaOH solution with a mass percentage concentration of 3-8% (such as 5%). In some embodiments, the post-reaction solution is dropped into the basic solution to form microspheres, which are washed with ethanol after filtration, and then vacuum dried to obtain thiolated chitosan microspheres. In other embodiments, the post-reaction solution is spray dried at 130-180°C to obtain thiolated chitosan microspheres. It should be understood that although the present application proposes the preferred method for preparing thiolated chitosan microspheres as described above, the present application is not limited thereto, and thiolated chitosan microspheres prepared by other methods in the prior art can also be used where feasible.

[0028] Step S2 corresponds to the vanadium form directional conversion stage. In this stage, a composite system of ascorbic acid and sulfite is used, which can avoid the generation of V2O5 precipitate, and directly obtain VO 2+ , realize precise control of vanadium form, realize efficient conversion of V(OH)4 + → VO 2+ (the conversion rate is >99%). The reaction mechanism is: ascorbic acid provides reducing hydroxyl groups to promote the reduction of V(V) to V(IV), and SO3 2- inhibits the polymerization of vanadium to avoid the generation of V2O5 precipitate.

[0029] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of ascorbic acid to sulfite in the conversion agent is (10-25):(2-5). In some embodiments, the conversion agent is a composite solution comprising ascorbic acid and sulfite, wherein the concentration of ascorbic acid in the conversion agent is 0.1-0.25 mol / L and the concentration of sulfite is 0.02-0.05 mol / L. Mixing and reacting the decontaminated vanadium solution with the conversion agent comprises: mixing the decontaminated vanadium solution and the conversion agent at a volume ratio of 1:(0.04-0.08) and reacting at 60-90°C for 20-40 minutes. In some embodiments, the pH of the decontaminated vanadium solution is 9.5-11. The sulfite may be, for example, one or more of Na2SO3, K2SO3, NaHSO3, and (NH4)2SO3.

[0030] Step S3 corresponds to the acidic high-efficiency electrolysis stage. In this stage, a stabilizer is used to improve the stability of the acidic electrolyte to be electrolyzed, and V 3+ / VO 2+ , eliminating the vanadium precipitation-calcination-dissolution steps. In some embodiments, the pH of the electrolyte solution is adjusted by adding an acid (e.g., concentrated sulfuric acid) to the converted vanadium solution, ultimately bringing the pH of the electrolyte solution to 1-1.5. In some embodiments, the method further comprises adjusting the vanadium concentration of the electrolyte solution to 1.5-2.5 mol / L. In some embodiments, the concentration of the stabilizer in the electrolyte solution is 0.02-0.1 mol / L. The stabilizer may include one or more of the following: an inorganic stabilizer, an organic acid, an organic acid salt, an alcohol, and a surfactant. Inorganic stabilizers may include one or more of the following: phosphoric acid, phosphates, sulfates, and boric acid; organic acids may include one or more of the following: oxalic acid, citric acid, and aminopolycarboxylic acid ligands (e.g., EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and HEDTA (N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid)); alcohols may include methanol and / or ethylene glycol; and surfactants may include PEG and / or Tween 20. Of course, the present invention is not limited to these examples; other suitable stabilizers known in the art may be employed. In some embodiments, performing electrolysis comprises: 2 Electrolysis was performed at a current density of 4 to 7 hours. Graphene / carbon felt composite electrodes can be used for electrolysis. The electrolyte obtained contains V 3+ and VO 2+ The molar ratio is about 1:1, for example 1:(0.95~1.05).

[0031] In summary, the present application relates to a method for preparing high-purity acidic vanadium electrolyte from alkaline vanadium leaching solution by coupling biosorption, selective conversion and electrochemical catalysis technology. The method uses a two-stage pH control strategy, first uses a modified biosorbent to deeply remove impurities such as iron, aluminum and silicon, and then realizes efficient electrolysis of vanadium in acidic medium through directional conversion of vanadium oxy groups and composite electrocatalytic system, with a current efficiency of more than 95%. The present application solves the problems of traditional process such as repeated adjustment of acid and alkali, long process and impurity interference, and is suitable for high-performance vanadium flow battery energy storage system.
