Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of resource recovery, and in particular relates to a process for separating and recovering precious metals by applying photocatalytic coupling technology. Background Art

[0002] Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, precious metals play an important role in various fields of industry, national economy, and national defense construction. However, it is reported that precious metal resources are limited in reserves, difficult to mine, and their prices remain high. Therefore, precious metal resource recovery is a very important way to develop precious metals. Among them, the recovery of platinum, palladium, gold, and silver precious metal elements is particularly important.

[0003] There are many sources of secondary resources of precious metals, among which electroplating wastewater contains more precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, gold, and silver. The recovery of precious metal elements in electroplating wastewater currently mainly includes metal replacement, extraction, adsorption, and electrolysis. While the metal replacement method enriches and recovers precious metals, it will also be contaminated by various reagents because the recovered slag is contaminated, resulting in a low recovery rate of precious metals. Although ion exchange resin adsorption has the advantages of simple operation and low labor, the ion exchange resin has limited loading capacity and the resin is expensive. The extraction method will produce a large amount of organic waste liquid, causing secondary pollution to the environment. The electrolysis method has the problems of high energy consumption, long processing time, and poor effluent quality. Therefore, providing a precious metal recovery method with high recovery rate, low energy consumption, and simple operation is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0029] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0030] 1. The present invention provides a process for separating and recovering precious metals by using photocatalytic coupling technology. The recovery method is simple. By using a composite adsorption material and an auxiliary agent in combination, photocatalytic reduction, chemical adsorption and molecular imprinting are combined. The adsorption material adsorbed with precious metals is subjected to simple ashing, impurity dissolution and reduction treatment to obtain a mixture with a high content of precious metals. This photocatalytic coupling technology can achieve efficient separation and recovery of precious metals, while avoiding the environmental pollution problems that may be caused by traditional chemical methods.

[0031] 2. The composite adsorption material in the present invention is a multi-template ion imprinted polymer, and the template ion is Pt 2+ , Pd 2+ 、Au 3+ 、Ag + There are holes in the structure that completely match the template molecules in terms of spatial position and binding sites. It has a high selective recognition characteristic for template ions and can effectively adsorb precious metal ions in electroplating wastewater. In addition, the composite adsorbent material also contains nano-titanium dioxide. Under light conditions, it can exert a coupled synergistic effect of metal reduction and organic oxidation with electron donor additives, accelerate the reduction of precious metal ions, thereby improving the adsorption efficiency of the composite adsorbent material for precious metal ions, and then improve the recovery efficiency of precious metals.

[0032] 3. The composite adsorbent material of the present invention contains a functional monomer prepared with 2-aminomethyl-15-crown-5 and allyl isothiocyanate as raw materials, which can not only participate in the cross-linking reaction, but also contains crown ether and thiourea structure, and has excellent complexing ability for precious metal ions, and can provide the composite adsorbent material with an adsorption capacity for precious metal ions, facilitate the transfer of electrons from the conduction band of Ti to metal ions, reduce the interference of oxygen, and generate new capture sites on the surface of titanium dioxide, thereby increasing the photocatalytic reduction rate and thus improving the recovery efficiency of precious metals.

[0033] 4. The composite adsorbent material of the present invention contains modified polyethyleneimine, which can not only participate in the cross-linking reaction, but also has a highly branched structure and rich nitrogen-containing functional groups. The spatial branched structure can increase the specific surface area and pore capacity of the composite adsorbent material. The nitrogen-containing functional groups form more precious metal adsorption sites, which is beneficial to the migration of precious metal ions to the composite adsorbent material, accelerates the adsorption process, and improves the recovery efficiency of precious metals.

[0034] 5. The present invention accurately controls the pH value of primary electroplating wastewater to provide favorable adsorption conditions for the composite adsorption material. When the pH value is low, the cavities in the composite adsorption material are filled with more H + The binding ability of the noble metal ions with the composite adsorption material is greatly reduced. When the pH value is too high, the noble metals will produce oxides, which are difficult to selectively separate. Therefore, the present invention controls the pH value of the primary electroplating wastewater to 6.0-6.8. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
