Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical production technology, specifically relating to a method for treating Cyanex 272 raffinate in manganese sulfate production. Background Technology

[0002] In the hydrometallurgical process of cobalt and nickel, manganese, as a by-product, is often used to produce battery-grade manganese sulfate. During this production, Cyanex 272 extractant is used to extract manganese and separate it from calcium. The Cyanex 272 raffinate obtained after extraction contains 1-2 g / L of calcium, 0.1-1 g / L of manganese, 100-300 mg / L of total phosphorus, 600-800 mg / L of COD, and 20-50 g / L of sodium sulfate. The pH of the Cyanex 272 raffinate is approximately 4.5-5.5. In existing production processes, sodium fluoride is commonly used for calcium removal. This method introduces fluoride, and the fluoride slag is classified as hazardous waste. Furthermore, the wastewater requires subsequent resin defluorination, and the resin regeneration process generates a large amount of wash water that needs treatment, resulting in high environmental costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for treating Cyanex 272 raffinate in manganese sulfate production, specifically including the following:

[0004] A method for treating Cyanex 272 raffinate in manganese sulfate production includes the following steps:

[0005] (1) Manganese precipitation: Add liquid alkali to the Cyanex 272 raffinate to maintain the pH of the solution at 10-10.5 and carry out the manganese precipitation reaction; after the reaction is completed, filter to obtain the first filtrate and manganese hydroxide residue; the manganese hydroxide residue obtained in this step can be returned to the previous process for dissolution, which can effectively recover manganese. In this process, about 30% of calcium will precipitate. Some calcium hydroxide will be mixed in the manganese hydroxide. The liquid alkali added in this process should not be too concentrated, and it is advisable to control it at 10%. Adding too concentrated liquid alkali will cause an increase in calcium co-precipitation.

[0006] (2) Precipitation of calcium: Add 1.2-1.3 times the excess of sodium phosphate to the first filtrate to carry out the precipitation reaction; after the reaction is completed, filter to obtain the second filtrate and calcium phosphate residue;

[0007] Ksp[CaF2]=2.7×10 -11

[0008] Ksp[Ca3(PO4)2]=1.04×10 -24

[0009] Based on the solubility product constant, calcium phosphate is less soluble than calcium fluoride, therefore sodium phosphate is used as a precipitant to remove calcium precipitate.

[0010] (3) Phosphorus removal: Add 5‰-10‰ of polyferric solution to the second filtrate, and then add liquid alkali to adjust the pH of the solution to 4.5-5.5 to carry out the phosphorus removal reaction; after the reaction is completed, filter to obtain the third filtrate and phosphorus-containing iron slag.

[0011] (4) Evaporation and crystallization: Add liquid alkali to the third filtrate, adjust the pH of the solution to 6-7, and then carry out evaporation and crystallization to obtain industrial sodium sulfate.

[0012] Preferably, the mass concentration of the liquid alkali in step (1) is 8-12%; and the reaction time of the manganese precipitation reaction is ≥0.5h.

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the manganese content in the first filtrate is ≤1 mg / L; and the calcium content in the first filtrate is 25-35% lower than that in the Cyanex 272 raffinate.

[0014] Preferably, the reaction temperature of the calcium precipitation reaction in step (2) is 50-60℃ and the reaction time is ≥0.5h.

[0015] Preferably, in step (2), the calcium content in the second filtrate is ≤20 mg / L.

[0016] Preferably, the mass concentration of the liquid alkali in step (3) is 30-35%; the reaction temperature of the phosphorus removal reaction is 50-60℃, and the reaction time is ≥1h.

[0017] Preferably, the phosphorus content in the third filtrate of step (3) is ≤1 mg / L and the COD content is reduced to 200-250 mg / L.

[0018] Preferably, the mass concentration of the liquid alkali in step (4) is 30-35%.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] (1) The present invention discloses a method for treating Cyanex 272 raffinate in the production of manganese sulfate, which uses sodium phosphate instead of sodium fluoride in the prior art to precipitate calcium ions. No hazardous waste is generated during the treatment process. Since the treatment of Cyanex 272 raffinate itself requires phosphorus removal, no additional pollutants are introduced. This method can improve the safety of the treatment process while effectively reducing environmental protection costs.

[0021] (2) The present invention discloses a method for treating Cyanex 272 raffinate in the production of manganese sulfate. In addition to using sodium phosphate to remove calcium, it also limits the specific process parameters such as pH, reaction time, and reaction temperature of each process flow such as manganese precipitation, calcium precipitation, phosphorus removal, and evaporation crystallization. It provides the best treatment scheme for Cyanex 272 raffinate, ensuring the final treatment effect. The content of impurities such as manganese, calcium, and phosphorus in the final solution does not exceed 1 mg / L, which meets the treatment requirements of Cyanex 272 raffinate. At the same time, it ensures that the purity of industrial sodium sulfate, the product of evaporation crystallization, can meet the standards for external sale, thereby increasing the value of by-products and reducing production costs.
