Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gallium recovery and extraction technology, specifically to a method for efficiently enriching gallium and separating iron from pressurized wet zinc smelting solutions. Background Technology
[0002] Gallium is a crucial basic material supporting the development of modern high-tech fields such as computers, 5G communications, aerospace, new energy, and medicine.
[0003] Gallium is extremely dispersed in the Earth's crust, mainly occurring in non-ferrous metal deposits such as zinc and aluminum. Currently, 90% of the world's gallium comes from aluminum smelting, and 10% from zinc smelting.
[0004] Traditional wet zinc smelting uses a roasting-leaching process. During roasting, gallium is contained in zinc ferrite. In the subsequent atmospheric pressure leaching process, gallium is contained in the leaching residue. When the leaching residue is volatilized in a rotary kiln, gallium remains in the kiln slag and is difficult to recover.
[0005] When zinc concentrate is directly processed using a pressurized wet leaching process, over 90% of gallium is leached into the solution. Subsequent zinc powder replacement processing of the zinc-oxygen pressure leaching solution enriches gallium in the replacement slag, but the gallium enrichment efficiency is low, only 50%. Meanwhile, the gallium phase in the replacement slag is complex, leading to problems such as a lengthy process and low recovery rate in subsequent gallium recovery from the slag.
[0006] Due to Ga 3+ with Fe 3+ With similar radii, Ga is used in pressurized wet zinc smelting processes. 3+ with Fe 3+ The trends are relatively consistent: the core problem in gallium enrichment is how to efficiently precipitate gallium from pressurized wet zinc smelting solutions and how to quickly separate gallium from iron in gallium-enriched products. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Based on this, in order to overcome the problems of low gallium enrichment efficiency and difficult gallium-iron separation in existing pressurized wet zinc smelting solutions, this invention provides a method for efficiently enriching gallium and separating iron from pressurized wet zinc smelting solutions, thereby improving the gallium enrichment and achieving effective gallium separation.
[0008] A method for efficiently enriching gallium and separating iron from a pressurized wet zinc smelting solution includes the following steps:
[0009] Fe 2+ Oxidation: The zinc oxygen pressure leaching solution is oxidized to reduce Fe... 2+ Oxidized to Fe 3+ The first solution was obtained;
[0010] pH adjustment: Add PbO and ZnO to the first solution to adjust the pH to 2.0-2.4 to obtain the second solution;
[0011] Adsorption and precipitation: Activated carbon is added to the second solution, adsorption is performed, and then the solution is filtered to obtain gallium-rich precipitate;
[0012] Zinc leaching with dilute acid: Add H2SO4 to the gallium-rich precipitate to leach zinc and obtain gallium-rich material;
[0013] Cyclic leaching: A strong alkali is added to a portion of the gallium-enriched material for leaching to obtain a gallium alkali leaching solution and iron slag; if the gallium content in the gallium alkali leaching solution is 20-50 g / L, it can be collected; if the gallium content in the gallium alkali leaching solution is less than 20 g / L, it is mixed with another portion of the gallium-enriched material, and a strong alkali is added again for cyclic leaching.
[0014] The zinc-oxygen pressure leaching solution contains the following components: Zn 2+ 150~200g / L, Fe 2+ 10-15 g / L, Fe 3+ 0.1~0.5g / L, H2SO4 10~25g / L, Ga 3+ 10–30 mg / L.
[0015] The chemical reaction equations involved in this invention are as follows:
[0016] Fe 2+ Oxidation: Fe 2+ +O2+4H+→4Fe 3+ +2H2O
[0017] pH adjustment:
[0018] Adsorption and precipitation:
[0019] Circulating leaching:
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: (1) it achieves deep enrichment of gallium in the zinc leaching solution of pressurized wet zinc smelting without affecting the main process of zinc extraction; (2) it achieves efficient separation of iron and gallium in gallium enrichment; (3) it achieves short-process extraction of gallium in gallium enrichment; (4) the by-product iron slag has a high iron grade and can be used as raw material for blast furnace ironmaking.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the Fe 2+ The oxidation method is as follows: Oxygen is introduced at a rate of 0.25–0.5 L / min at 80–90 °C until the Fe in the zinc-oxygen pressure leaching solution is extracted. 3+ Increase the concentration to 1–1.5 g / L, then stop the oxygen flow to obtain the first solution. Increase the Fe concentration.3+ Concentration is beneficial for subsequent Fe 3+ and Ga 3+ Coprecipitation, Fe 3+ Low concentrations can lead to incomplete precipitation, affecting gallium recovery; Fe 3+ High concentrations can lead to excessive precipitation, which in turn reduces the gallium grade.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the amount of ZnO added is 66.7% to 333.3% of the PbO, based on the mass of Pb and Zn. A suitable ratio of zinc oxide to lead oxide is beneficial for subsequent gallium enrichment. If there is too little lead oxide, gallium precipitation will be incomplete; if there is too much, the leaching residue will be large, resulting in a low gallium grade in the replacement residue. Zinc oxide is used to adjust the pH to a suitable range without affecting gallium enrichment and the main process zinc extraction.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the pH adjustment method is as follows: after adding the PbO and ZnO, react at 80-90℃ for 0.5-3 hours to obtain a second solution.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the amount of activated carbon added is 0.2 to 0.4 g / L. If the amount of activated carbon added is too low, the precipitation efficiency will be low or even incomplete precipitation will be impossible, affecting the gallium recovery rate. If the amount of activated carbon added is too high, the amount of precipitation will be too high, which will lead to a decrease in the gallium grade.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the adsorption precipitation method involves adding activated carbon, aging the solution at 80–90°C for 2–4 hours, and then filtering to obtain gallium-rich precipitate. Adding activated carbon to assist precipitation effectively reduces the gallium content in the neutralized solution. Furthermore, activated carbon can adsorb free gallium ions in the solution, further improving the gallium recovery rate. This step also yields a neutralized solution, from which zinc can be recovered.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the dilute acid zinc leaching method involves adding 0.05–0.1 mol / L H₂SO₄ at a liquid-to-solid ratio of 2.5–5 mL / g at 80–90°C, leaching for 15–30 min to obtain gallium-enriched material. Using dilute sulfuric acid for leaching avoids gallium leaching and prevents a decrease in gallium recovery rate. This step also yields a zinc leaching solution, which can be mixed with a zinc-oxygen pressure leaching solution for recycling.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the strong base includes sodium hydroxide.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the cyclic leaching method involves adding 1–4 mol / L NaOH at a liquid-to-solid ratio of 2.5–5 mL / g at 80–90°C and leaching for 1–4 hours to obtain a gallium alkali leaching solution and iron slag. Using a strong alkali of appropriate concentration can maximize gallium leaching, improve gallium recovery rate, and reduce losses. Attached Figure Description
