Abstract

The clean Ta / Nb ore converting process includes decomposing Ta / Nb ore in KOH and molten salt, diluting and separating decomposed product to obtain high concentration KOH solution and solid phase connecting potassium titanate / niobate, hot water leaching and separating potassium hexatitanate / hexaniobate solution and iron-manganese slag precipitate containing insoluble potassium metatitanate / metaniobate; regulating pH value of hexatitanate / hexaniobate solution to alkali to obtain hexatitanate / hexaniobate crystal and reusable crystalline mother liquid; and decomposing potassium metatitanate / metaniobate and iron-manganese slag with HCl solution to obtain metatitanate / metaniobate crystal. The said process has no fluorine ion pollution and high ore decomposing rate, and may produce potassium titanate / niobate as intermediate for producing various Ta / Nb products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for converting tantalum and niobium ore, in particular to a method for extracting potassium hexatantalate (niobium) (K 8 (Ta, Nb) 6 o 19 ·nH 2 O) and potassium metatantalum (niobium) (K(Ta, Nb)O 3 ) clean conversion method. technical background [0002] At present, high-concentration HF acid (>60%) or high-concentration HF-H are used at home and abroad 2 SO 4 Mixed acid decomposes tantalum-niobium ore. This process consumes a lot of HF acid, and about 10% of HF is discharged in the form of waste gas, which becomes the main gaseous pollution of tantalum-niobium metallurgy; a large amount of fluorine is also produced in the process of waste liquid treatment. Stone, calcium sulfate residues, 10-15 tons of such residues will be produced every ton of ore is processed, the environmental pollution is very serious, and the decomposition rate of the difficult-to-decompose tantalum-niobium ore is low, only about 85%. ...
