Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrometallurgical technology, and particularly relates to a method and reaction device for simultaneous and efficient iron precipitation and organic matter removal, which is applicable to solution purification treatment in zinc smelting process. Background Technology

[0002] In hydrometallurgical zinc refining, after the zinc concentrate is roasted and leached with hot acid or directly with oxygen pressure, zinc enters the leachate, while iron, which is associated with the ore, also dissolves into the solution. The presence of iron ions severely affects subsequent electrolysis processes, leading to reduced current efficiency and decreased cathode zinc quality. Therefore, it is essential to efficiently remove iron ions during the neutral leaching stage. Currently, the mainstream industrial iron removal methods include the jaundice process, the goethite process, and the hematite process. The jaundice process produces slag with low iron content and large volume, and because it adsorbs toxic elements such as arsenic, it is classified as hazardous solid waste, and long-term storage will put enormous pressure on the environment. Although the goethite process produces slag with slightly higher iron content, it is still classified as hazardous solid waste and is difficult to treat. While the hematite process can produce slag with relatively high iron content (classified as general solid waste), this method has extremely high equipment requirements, requiring operation under high temperature and pressure, resulting in extremely high technical barriers and energy consumption.

[0003] Furthermore, to improve the quality of electrolytic zinc and recover valuable metals, various organic substances (such as gums, β-naphthol, tannic acid, and various extractants) are often added during the production process. Excessive organic substances can lead to reduced current efficiency, increased energy consumption, and decreased product quality. Currently, methods for removing organic substances mainly include air flotation, activated carbon adsorption, ultrasonic demulsification and oil removal, membrane separation, and oxidation processes. However, these are usually carried out separately from the iron removal process, resulting in long process flows, complex operations, and high costs. Therefore, developing a technology that can simultaneously and deeply remove iron and organic substances, is simple, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the hydrometallurgical zinc smelting industry.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-11 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a method for simultaneously and efficiently depositing iron and removing organic matter, comprising the following steps: (a) Leachate pretreatment: The leaching solution from the wet zinc smelting purification process contains zinc ions at a concentration of 1-100 g / L, total iron at a concentration of 1-5 g / L, and organic matter at a concentration of 1-5 g / L. The organic matter includes gum, soapberry powder, β-naphthol, tannic acid, and extractant P. 204 Extractant N 235 One or more of the following are used: the initial pH of the leachate is 2.0-3.6. First, neutralizing agent A is added to the leachate to adjust the pH to 3.6-4.0. Neutralizing agent A is one of zinc metal oxide or carbonate. Then, the adjusted solution is transferred to a leachate storage tank for preheating and continuous stirring. After the solution temperature reaches 50-95℃, the solution is injected into the iron removal reactor, where the pH is adjusted to the optimal reaction range of 4.0-5.0. The core purpose of pretreatment is to create optimal conditions for the reaction between organic matter and iron ions. Too high a pH will lead to zinc loss, while too low a pH will affect the reaction efficiency between organic matter and iron.

[0020] (II) Oxidation reaction: An oxidant (compressed air, oxygen, or ozone) is introduced into the iron removal reactor, and the flow rate of the oxidant is controlled at 10-300 L / h by a flow meter, and the reaction is carried out for 0.5-4 h. During this process, ferric ions (Fe³⁺) in the solution undergo complexation precipitation and catalytic oxidation reactions with organic matter, so as to achieve simultaneous deep removal of organic matter and iron ions.

[0021] (III) Post-processing: After the reaction, the reaction slurry is aged for 1-4 hours to promote flocculation and growth of the precipitate. Then, solid-liquid separation (such as filtration and sedimentation) is performed to obtain a purified zinc solution with extremely low iron content (e.g., below 0.004 g / L) and low total organic carbon (TOC) residue (e.g., below 10 mg / L), as well as a precipitate with high iron content that is easy to filter. The iron-containing precipitate can be washed and used as a raw material for ironmaking for resource utilization. Furthermore, alkali treatment (such as sodium hydroxide solution) can be used to dissolve the precipitate, reducing processing costs.

[0022] The working principle of this invention lies in: creatively utilizing Fe 3+ Dual interaction mechanisms with organic matter: ① Complexation precipitation mechanism: Fe in solution 3+ It rapidly undergoes coordination reactions with abundant active functional groups (such as hydroxyl -OH, carboxyl -COOH, etc.) in organic molecules to generate stable organic-iron composite precipitates with a three-dimensional network structure. These precipitates are large and dense flocs with excellent settling and filtration performance, far exceeding that of traditional ferric hydroxide colloids, thus achieving highly efficient precipitation and separation of iron while simultaneously encapsulating and immobilizing organic matter within the precipitate. ② Catalytic oxidation mechanism: Fe 3+It can act as a catalyst, activating functional groups in organic molecules and catalyzing the introduction of oxidants (such as O2 and O3) to generate stronger oxidizing species (such as hydroxyl radicals), which attack the organic molecular chains, causing them to break, open rings, or even mineralize into CO2 and H2O, thereby deeply degrading TOC in the solution. These two mechanisms promote each other, forming a synergistic "catalytic cycle" that achieves the simultaneous and efficient removal of iron and organic matter.

[0023] like Figures 5-11 As shown, the present invention also discloses a reaction apparatus for the above method, comprising the following main structural components: The leachate storage tank 2 is located at the top of the iron removal reactor 9 and is used to receive, store, preheat, and initially regulate the leachate. The leachate storage tank 2 is equipped with a heating element 3, a feed pipe 18, a first mixing inlet 4, and a second mixing inlet 5. A centrifugal pump 27 is also connected to the feed pipe 18, which pumps the leachate into the leachate storage tank 2. The leachate storage tank 2 is equipped with an automatic stirring mechanism 1 with adjustable stirring speed.

[0024] The iron removal reactor 9, serving as the core reaction vessel, is connected to the leachate storage tank 2 via a threaded interface 15. Support feet 13 are circumferentially distributed at the bottom of the iron removal reactor 9. An inner reactor cylinder 11 is installed inside the iron removal reactor 9, and an automatic stirring mechanism 1 with adjustable stirring speed is installed within the inner reactor cylinder 11. A top plate 22 is installed at the top of the iron removal reactor 9, and a first mixing outlet 14 and a second mixing outlet 12 are correspondingly located at the lower end of the inner reactor cylinder 11. A neutralizing agent inlet 10 is installed on the side wall of the inner reactor cylinder 11, and an oxidant distributor can also be installed within the inner reactor cylinder 11. A reactor cap 26 is installed at the top of the iron removal reactor 9 to facilitate heat preservation and prevent heat loss; a corrosion-resistant lining 21 made of silicon carbide is installed on its inner wall, suitable for acidic environments. The iron removal reactor 9 is also equipped with an explosion-proof device 7 and an exhaust port 23 to prevent localized high pressure and thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring operational safety.

[0025] Tilting mechanisms and lifting devices 24 are provided on both sides of the iron removal reactor 9. The tilting mechanisms and lifting devices 24 are connected to the iron removal reactor 9 through the connecting mechanism 20 to facilitate the tilting adjustment of the iron removal reactor 9 for slag discharge or maintenance.

[0026] An oxidant supply system is used to stably deliver and precisely control the oxidant flow rate to the iron removal reactor. The oxidant supply system includes a gas supply device, a gas pipeline 16, and a flow meter 17, for quantitatively supplying oxidant to the iron removal reactor 9. The gas supply device is an air compressor 8, an industrial oxygen tank 29, or an ozone generator 30. Gas enters the reactor inner cylinder 11 through a first inlet 6 and a second inlet 19. The industrial oxygen tank 29 is equipped with a flow meter 17 and a pressure valve 28. The ozone generator's panel is equipped with a power supply 31, an oxygen source starter 32, and an ozone starter 33. The gas pipeline 16 is made of corrosion-resistant material, and the flow meter 17 has an accuracy of ±1%.

[0027] The control unit is linked with the pH electrode 25 installed in the iron removal reactor 9, the temperature sensor installed in the leachate storage tank 2, and multiple flow meters used to measure the flow rate of gas or liquid, so as to realize the automatic monitoring and adjustment of key parameters such as reaction pH, temperature, and oxidant flow rate, and ensure the stability of process conditions.

[0028] Both the leachate storage tank 2 and the iron removal reactor 9 are equipped with an automatic stirring mechanism 1, with adjustable stirring speed to ensure uniform mixing of the solution; the main body of the reaction device is made of polypropylene or stainless steel, with a temperature range of -20-150℃.

[0029] The working principle or method of the reaction device of the present invention: The leachate is pumped into the leachate storage tank 2 through the feed pipe 18 by the centrifugal pump 27; the heating element 3 is activated and the automatic stirring mechanism 1 is started to uniformly preheat the solution to the set temperature. After preheating, the threaded interface is opened and the solution flows into the iron removal reactor 9 through the first mixing inlet 4 and the second mixing inlet 5; the pH electrode 25 monitors the pH in real time, and the control unit drives the feeding system to add neutralizing agent through the neutralizing agent inlet 10 to precisely adjust the pH to the set range. Subsequently, the oxidant (from the air compressor 8, industrial oxygen tank 29 or ozone generator 30) is controlled by the gas supply pipe 16 and the flow meter 17 and is introduced into the inner cylinder of the reactor from the first air inlet 6 and the second air inlet 19, and the reaction is continuously stirred; after the reaction, the slurry is discharged into the aging tank through the first mixing outlet 14 and the second mixing outlet 12, and is purified by solid-liquid separation.

[0030] The method and reaction apparatus provided by this invention have the following basic process flow: Figure 1 As shown, the core lies in creating optimal initial reaction conditions through specific pretreatment, and then using an oxidant at a suitable temperature and pH to initiate and maintain a synergistic precipitation-oxidation reaction between Fe³⁺ and organic matter.
