Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for recovering ammonia nitrogen from ammonium molybdate precipitation mother liquor and removing other impurity ions. Background Art

[0002] Molybdenum and its alloys are widely used in fields such as metallurgy, electronics and electrical engineering, chemical engineering, environmental protection, and aerospace. They are important mineral resources indispensable for my country's economic development and scientific research. With the development of my country's economy, the demand for molybdenum and molybdenum products in various industries will inevitably continue to increase. As a strategic mineral resource, molybdenum has poor flotation performance in some low-grade ores due to differences in mineral properties. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop and optimize the smelting and purification technologies of low-grade, complex, and polymetallic molybdenum ores to achieve improved comprehensive molybdenum metal recovery and the recovery of polymetallic compounds associated with molybdenum ores.

[0003] A domestic enterprise carried out indoor condition tests, pilot tests and expanded tests on the oxygen pressure leaching process technology for uranium-molybdenum co-existing raw ore, and finally realized the industrial application of the raw ore oxygen pressure leaching process technology. After the application of this technology, the molybdenum leaching rate increased from 33% to 36% of conventional leaching to more than 85%, improving the comprehensive recovery rate of molybdenum resources and doubling the production capacity. Because the production process water of the enterprise adopts a closed-loop circulation method, during the production operation, K in the circulating water + 、Na + NH4 + 、Fe 3+ 、Al 3+ , Ca 2 + Mg 2+ 、SO4 2- The concentration of impurity ions is high, and the molybdenum leaching rate shows a downward trend with the increase of impurity ion concentration. In severe cases, it is reduced by more than 10% compared with the early stage of industrialization. + The cations have the greatest influence on the leaching rate of Mo in oxygen pressure leaching. + When the concentration dropped from 8g / L to 12g / L and below 2g / L, the Mo leaching rate basically returned to the initial level of industrial application. + The ions mainly come from the molybdenum back extraction qualified liquid in the production process of ammonium molybdate, and are finally collected in the ammonium molybdate acid precipitation product and acid precipitation mother liquor. According to the analysis of the acid precipitation mother liquor, the NH4 + Ion concentration is 55g / L~80g / L, SO4 2- The ion concentration is 190g / L~230g / L.

[0004] Due to the low precipitation rate of ammonium molybdate, the mother liquor of sulfuric acid precipitation still contains 8-20g / L of molybdenum. For the recovery of Mo from the mother liquor of ammonium molybdate precipitation, the more commonly used methods in the industry include selective precipitation, ion exchange, extraction, and activated carbon adsorption. Considering the maturity of the process technology and compatibility with existing process systems, this company adopted a solvent extraction method, using a mixture of 6-9wt% tri-fatty amine or trioctylamine, 10-20wt% tributyl phosphate, and 75-80wt% sulfonated kerosene to recover the molybdenum metal. The extracted organic phase enters the existing stripping system, and the raffinate enters the evaporation tank. This method can effectively recover the molybdenum in the mother liquor of sulfuric acid precipitation, reducing the molybdenum concentration in the raffinate of the mother liquor of sulfuric acid precipitation to below 20mg / L, and achieving a recovery rate of over 99.3%. However, when the raffinate of sulfuric acid precipitation mother liquor is returned to oxygen pressure leaching for recycling, the molybdenum leaching rate decreases with the increase of impurity ion concentration due to the presence of impurity ions in the raffinate, which seriously affects the molybdenum leaching rate of oxygen pressure leaching. + If ammonia water with a concentration of 13% to 18% can be recovered, it can be used as a stripping agent in the molybdenum stripping process, thereby comprehensively utilizing the ammonia nitrogen resources in the raffinate of the sulfuric acid precipitation mother liquor. Therefore, in order to return the sulfuric acid precipitation mother liquor raffinate after molybdenum recovery to the production system, avoid affecting the molybdenum leaching rate of complex molybdenum ore oxygen pressure leaching, and at the same time recover the ammonia nitrogen resources in the sulfuric acid precipitation mother liquor raffinate, it is urgent to develop a method for recovering ammonia nitrogen and removing other impurity ions from the ammonium molybdate precipitation mother liquor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for removing ammonia nitrogen and other impurity ions from ammonium molybdate acid precipitation mother liquor.
