Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solid waste resource utilization, in particular to a method for recovering copper and high-purity silicon powder from waste organosilicon contacts. Background Art

[0002] Organosilicon materials boast properties such as electrical insulation, high and low temperature resistance, radiation resistance, flame retardancy, corrosion resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness, and non-toxicity and odorlessness. They are widely used in industries such as construction, textiles, electronics, light industry, medical care, and the automotive industry. Currently, methylchlorosilane, the most important monomer for synthesizing organosilicon products, has become the foundation and pillar of the organosilicon industry. Methylchlorosilane production primarily utilizes the direct Rochow process, where monochloromethane (CH3Cl) and silicon powder are added to a fluidized bed reactor and react directly over a ternary copper catalyst to produce methylchlorosilane. Over time, excessive surface deposits on the copper catalyst reduce its reactivity, leading to a decrease in organosilicon monomer yield. To ensure continuous and stable reaction, the remaining silicon powder and catalyst must be removed from the reactor, forming industrial waste, or organosilicon waste.

[0003] The main components of waste silicone contacts are silicon powder, copper powder, carbon powder, and iron, with their respective contents at 65%-75%, 10%-15%, 1%-5%, and 0.2%-2%. During the production of organosilicon monomers, waste contact emissions account for approximately 7%-10% of the total monomer volume. As organosilicon production continues to expand, waste contact emissions will continue to increase. The accumulation of waste silicone contacts not only poses safety risks but also causes serious environmental pollution and represents a significant waste of resources.

[0004] Extensive research has been conducted to recover silicon powder and copper from waste organosilicon contacts. Chinese patent CN102943177A discloses a method for recovering copper and silicon powder from waste organosilicon residues. This process involves mixing the waste organosilicon residue with concentrated sulfuric acid, heating and aging it, and then immersing it in water. This process results in difficulties in slurry mixing, complex operation, high equipment requirements, high energy consumption, and low silicon powder purity. Chinese patent CN104843721A discloses a method for recovering waste organosilicon contacts. This process involves calcining the waste organosilicon contacts, leaching them in an oxidizing ammonia-ammonium salt mixed solution, and then soaking them in acid to obtain high-purity silicon powder. However, this process also suffers from high energy consumption.

[0005] Therefore, providing a harmless treatment process for waste silicone contacts that is economical, environmentally friendly, low in energy consumption, non-corrosive to equipment, and has high purity and yield of silicon powder and copper is of great significance to the development of my country's silicone industry. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a method for recovering copper and high-purity silicon powder from waste silicone contacts, so as to solve the technical problems in the prior art of recovering copper and silicon powder from waste silicone contacts, such as severe equipment corrosion, difficulty in slurry mixing, high energy consumption and low purity of silicon powder.

[0007] The present invention provides a method for recovering copper and high-purity silicon powder from waste organosilicon contacts, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Solid-liquid separation: the leaching slurry is separated into solid and liquid to obtain copper-containing leachate and leach residue, and the leach residue is washed, filtered, and neutralized to obtain silicon powder;

[0010] Copper extraction: adjusting the pH value of the copper-containing leachate to 1.5-2.0, then adding a copper extractant to the copper-containing leachate for extraction, and separating the aqueous phase and the organic phase to obtain a copper extraction residue and a copper-containing organic phase;

[0012] Copper electrowinning: The stripped copper sulfate solution is subjected to copper electrowinning to obtain cathode copper.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 The present invention provides a process flow chart of a method for recovering copper and high-purity silicon powder from waste organic silicon contacts. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0017] The present invention provides a method for recovering copper and high-purity silicon powder from waste organosilicon contacts, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1. Oxidative acid leaching: Add the waste organosilicon contactors, sulfuric acid solution A and the regulator into the flotation-mechanical stirring coupled leaching tank. Air is introduced into the flotation-mechanical stirring coupled leaching tank and the scraper is continuously operated to scrape off the surface flotation layer. The leaching is carried out by mechanical stirring to obtain the leaching slurry. The main chemical reactions during the leaching process are as follows:

[0019] H2SO4+CuO=CuSO4+H2O

[0020] H2SO4+Cu2O=CuSO4+Cu+H2O

[0021] 2H2SO4+2Cu+O2=2CuSO4+2H2O

[0022] S2. Solid-liquid separation: The leaching slurry is separated into solid and liquid to obtain copper-containing leachate and leaching residue, and the leaching residue is washed, filtered, and neutralized to obtain silicon powder.

[0023] S3, copper extraction: adjusting the pH value of the copper-containing leachate to 1.5-2.0, then adding a copper extractant to the copper-containing leachate for extraction, and separating the aqueous phase and the organic phase to obtain a copper-extracted residual solution and a copper-containing organic phase.

[0024] S4. Copper stripping: adding sulfuric acid solution B to the copper-containing organic phase for stripping, and separating to obtain stripped copper sulfate solution and regenerated organic phase.

[0025] S5. Copper electrowinning: subjecting the stripped copper sulfate solution to copper electrowinning to obtain cathode copper.

[0026] The present invention uses an air flotation-mechanical stirring coupled leaching tank as leaching equipment. On the one hand, air is filled into the leaching process to replace the addition of chemical oxidants, which not only reduces production costs, but also reduces corrosion to equipment and eliminates the safety hazards caused by chemical oxidants in the production process. On the other hand, the coupling effect of air flow agitation and mechanical stirring synergistically achieves a higher copper leaching rate at a lower sulfuric acid concentration and a shorter leaching time, which greatly improves production efficiency. At the same time, a scraper in the air flotation-mechanical stirring coupled leaching tank can scrape off carbon powder floating to the water surface, thereby improving the purity of silicon powder.

[0027] The present invention adds a regulator during the oxidative acid leaching process of waste silicone contacts. On the one hand, the slurry is quickly and fully mixed, thereby accelerating the leaching of copper and improving production efficiency; on the other hand, it helps the carbon powder attached to the surface of the silicon powder to float to the water surface under the action of the buoyancy of bubbles and then be scraped off by the scraper equipment, thereby achieving carbon powder-silicon powder separation and significantly improving the purity of the silicon powder.

[0028] Compared with the traditional replacement method for producing sponge copper, the present invention adopts the copper extraction-electrodeposition process. On the one hand, it can avoid the problem of treating acidic wastewater containing ferrous sulfate generated in the traditional replacement process, thereby being more environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly; on the other hand, in the entire process flow, both the raffinate and the regenerated organic phase can be recycled, which significantly reduces the production cost and has higher economic benefits.
