Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a device and a method for efficiently separating a tin-copper binary alloy by vacuum filtration, and belongs to the technical field of pyrometallurgy of non-ferrous metals. BACKGROUND
[0002] The tin-copper binary alloy is mainly derived from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). The metal content in waste circuit boards is high, and the resource utilization potential is great, so it has always been the focus of electronic waste recycling. Tin mainly exists in the form of solder in waste circuit boards, and copper mainly exists in the mother board of the circuit board. After the waste circuit board is crushed and disassembled and the metal is enriched, a tin-copper binary alloy is obtained. Since tin and copper account for a large proportion in the recycling of metals from waste circuit boards, it is necessary to separate and recycle these two metals.
[0003] At present, the main method for treating tin-copper binary alloys in the industry is electrolysis. According to the activity order of tin and copper, tin will enter the electrolyte, and finally be deposited on the cathode, while copper will be enriched in the anode mud. This method has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, difficult treatment of waste liquid, and low economy.
[0004] In the patent application with the publication number CN208532894U, a tin-copper separator is introduced. The patent does not specify the specific melting interval and the size of the separation basket mesh, which may cause a large amount of tin-copper compounds to pass through the separation basket mesh into the tin liquid, resulting in poor separation effect. In the patent application with the publication number CN108789945A, a copper-tin separation process for waste circuit boards is introduced. The process mentioned uses a copper-tin separator to heat and separate tin and copper. Due to the presence of copper-tin intermediate compounds, the separation effect is not ideal. In the patent application with the publication number CN108789945A, a method for separating copper and tin from waste circuit boards by flotation is introduced. The method mentioned finally uses hydrometallurgy, but cannot obtain copper and tin with high purity. In the patent application with the publication number CN106834744A, a method for separating tin and copper from tinned waste copper material is introduced. The method uses diesel to produce volatile matter under vacuum conditions to flush the tinned layer, and separates the tinned layer by centrifugal action. The method is carried out at high temperature and high speed, which is dangerous to some extent. In the patent application with the publication number CN112176188A, a method for deeply removing antimony and copper impurities in regenerated coarse tin is introduced. The method adds an antimony and copper removal agent to the molten tin liquid, which inevitably affects the purity of tin. Even if the antimony and copper removal agent is added, the quality of the coarse tin cannot reach the AA level Sn99.90. In the patent application with the publication number CN108277502A, a method for directly separating copper and tin alloy mixture by electrolysis is introduced. The method electrolyzes copper into electrolytic copper, and tin alloy falls into the electrolyte, which cannot completely recover the copper, and the electrolysis process has high energy consumption and is not economical. SUMMARY

[0007] The vacuum cavity 6 is provided with a detachable outer shell 11 at the top, and the filter cartridge 1 is arranged in the hollow position at the top of the vacuum cavity 6 and inside the outer shell 11. The heating body 2 is uniformly arranged outside the filter cartridge 1, the air vents 12 are arranged at the top of the outer shell 11, the argon gas cylinder 8 is connected to the air vents 12 through a stop valve pipeline, the flow valve 13 is arranged on the argon gas cylinder 8, the filter holes 3 are uniformly arranged at the bottom of the filter cartridge 1, the tin liquid cylinder 7 is arranged below the filter holes 3 and inside the vacuum cavity 6, and the vacuum pump 9 is connected to the bottom of the vacuum cavity 6.
[0008] The device for high-efficiency separation of tin-copper binary alloy by vacuum filtration has a processing capacity of 1t-10t.
[0009] The filter cartridge 1 has a diameter of 0.5m-1.5m, the filter holes have a diameter of 0.2-0.4mm, and the material is alumina.
[0010] The heating body 2 is controlled by a temperature controller 10.
[0011] The outer shell 11 is provided with a heat preservation layer 5, and the top of the outer shell 11 is provided with the lifting rings 4.
[0012] The heat preservation layer 5 has a thickness of 100mm-800mm.
[0013] The vacuum pump 9 is a direct-connection type double-stage rotary vane vacuum pump, and the pumping rate is 15-25L / s.
[0014] An application method of the device for high-efficiency separation of tin-copper binary alloy by vacuum filtration, comprising the following specific steps:
[0015] Step 1: First, lift the outer shell 11 using the lifting ring 4, place the tin-copper binary alloy in the filter cartridge 1, then place the outer shell 11 on top of the vacuum chamber 6 and secure it with hexagonal bolts for sealing. Close the shut-off valve, turn on the vacuum pump 9 to evacuate the vacuum chamber 6 and the inner shell 11 to a vacuum level of 1 Pa to 5 Pa. Then, open the shut-off valve and introduce argon gas into the vacuum chamber 6 and the inner shell 11, controlling the pressure to 0.5 MPa to 0.6 MPa. Continue to close the shut-off valve, turn on the vacuum pump 9 again to evacuate the vacuum, then open the shut-off valve and continue to introduce argon gas. Repeat the gas exchange process 4 to 6 times.
[0016] Step 2, Two-stage heating:
[0017] First stage of heating: Control the heating element 2 to heat the filter cartridge 1 at a rate of 8-10℃ / min, heat to 227-232℃, close the shut-off valve, turn on the vacuum pump 9 to evacuate to a vacuum level of 5-10Pa inside the vacuum chamber 6 and the outer shell 11, and keep warm for 0.5-1h.
[0018] Second stage of heating: Continue to control the heating element 2 to raise the temperature of filter cartridge 1 at a rate of 13-15℃ / min, raise the temperature to 400-415℃, and keep it warm for 1.5-2 hours;
[0019] During the two-stage heating process, the liquid low-copper crude tin in filter cartridge 1 will continuously flow out from filter cartridge 1 into tin liquid tank 7, and the crystalline metal that remains in filter cartridge 1 is the copper-rich phase, which can be sent to the copper smelting system for processing.
[0020] In step 1, the copper content of the tin-copper binary alloy is 5.0 wt% to 7.6 wt%.
[0021] The aforementioned molten tin cylinder 7 can be removed from the empty part at the top of the vacuum chamber 6 and placed inside.
[0022] The tin content in the aforementioned low-copper crude tin is 97.3wt% to 98.7wt%, and the copper content is 1.3wt% to 2.7wt%. The tin content in the copper-rich phase of filter cartridge 1 is 77.1wt% to 81.6wt%, and the copper content is 18.4wt% to 22.9wt%.
[0023] The metal recovery rates of tin and copper processed by this invention are 99%–99.5% and 98.5%–99.5%, respectively.
[0024] like Figure 2The principle of the present application is that tin melts at 232℃ due to its low melting point, and copper has a melting point of 1083℃ and is in solid state below 415℃. The reaction of copper and tin forms a eutectic structure of tin matrix phase and an intermetallic phase Cu6Sn5 at 227℃, and forms an intermetallic phase Cu3Sn when the temperature is raised to above 415℃ and the holding time is long, and the melting points of the two substances are both above 700℃. The tin must be completely melted, and the intermediate compound of tin and copper must not be melted, and the generated intermediate compound must be single, so the temperature must be controlled below 415℃, and the separation of tin and Cu6Sn5 is realized by physical filtration.
[0025] The purpose of the two-stage temperature rising is to preheat the furnace body so as to prevent the heating body from being broken due to too fast temperature rising, and to make the crude tin with high purity melt and flow out of the filter cartridge 1 in the one-stage holding process; and the purpose of vacuum extraction is to generate a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the filter cartridge 1, so as to promote the metal melt to flow out of the filter hole by overcoming the surface tension.
[0026] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] (1) The present method is a pure physical method, and no other substances are generated in the separation process; it is clean, environmentally friendly, energy-saving, efficient, simple in process, convenient in operation, low in cost, high in metal recovery rate, and safe and controllable in process.
[0028] (2) The present method provides a new way for removing copper in the refining process of crude tin, reduces the production cost, improves the working efficiency of crude tin refining, and effectively improves the resource utilization rate, thereby bringing huge economic benefits to enterprises.

The bottom of the vacuum cavity 6 is connected to the vacuum pump 9.
[0037] The tin copper binary alloy vacuum filtration high efficiency separation equipment has a processing capacity of 1t-10t. The diameter of the filter cartridge 1 is 0.5m, the diameter of the filter hole is 0.2m, and the material is alumina. The temperature of the heating body 2 is controlled by the temperature controller 10. The shell 11 is provided with a heat preservation layer 5, and the top of the shell 11 is provided with a lifting ring 4. The thickness of the heat preservation layer 5 is 100mm. The vacuum pump 9 is a direct connection type double stage rotary vane vacuum pump with a pumping rate of 15-25L / s. The heating body 2 is a graphite heating body.
[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the application method of the tin copper binary alloy vacuum filtration high efficiency separation equipment, the specific steps include:
[0039] Step 1, first, through the lifting ring 4, the shell 11 is lifted, 5t tin copper binary alloy (the content of copper in the tin copper binary alloy is 5.0wt%) is placed in the filter cartridge 1, then the shell 11 is placed on the top of the vacuum cavity 6 and fixed with hexagonal bolts for sealing treatment, the stop valve is closed, the vacuum pump 9 is opened to vacuumize the inside of the vacuum cavity 6 and the shell 11 to a vacuum degree of 5Pa, then the stop valve is opened, argon is introduced into the inside of the vacuum cavity 6 and the shell 11 to control the pressure to be 0.6Mpa; continue to close the stop valve, open the vacuum pump 9 again, then open the stop valve, continue to introduce argon, and the air exchange process is repeated 6 times;
[0040] Step 2, two-stage heating:
[0041] One-stage heating: control the heating body 2 to heat the filter cartridge 1 at a rate of 10℃ / min, heat to 232℃, close the stop valve, open the vacuum pump 9 to vacuumize the inside of the vacuum cavity 6 and the shell 11 to a vacuum degree of 10Pa, and keep warm for 1h;

[0043] During the two-stage heating process, the liquid low-copper crude tin in filter cartridge 1 will continuously flow out from filter cartridge 1 into tin liquid tank 7, and the crystalline metal that remains in filter cartridge 1 is the copper-rich phase, which can be sent to the copper smelting system for processing.

The specific implementation method is to place the tin-copper binary alloy (the copper content in the tin-copper binary alloy is 5.0 wt%) in a melting furnace and heat it from room temperature to 400°C, and then let it stand for 1 to 2 hours. A large amount of copper will float to the surface of the melt in the form of crystals, and then the floating copper crystals are scooped out with an industrial spoon.
[0047] After comparison and treatment, the copper content in the molten tin after copper removal was about 3.2 wt%, and the tin content in the retrieved copper crystals was about 82.4 wt%. The copper content in the molten tin was still very high, the tin-copper separation effect was not obvious, and the high-temperature slag removal operation posed a safety hazard.
