Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of metal recovery, in particular to a method for recovering tin from MOCA wastewater and waste materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] The product name of MOCA is 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl methane, commonly known as MOCA, which belongs to a diamine chain extender. When MOCA is used as a vulcanizing agent for cast polyurethane wear-resistant rubber, it can be widely applied to the mechanical industry, automobile and aircraft manufacturing industry, mining industry, sports facilities (such as plastic running tracks and plastic floors) and light manufacturing industry, and can also be used as a crosslinking agent for polyurethane coatings and adhesives, a curing agent for epoxy resins, and used for preparing products with high electrical resistance.

[0003] The preparation method of commercial MOCA products is usually as follows: first, o-chloroaniline is used as a raw material to react with hydrochloric acid to generate o-chloroaniline hydrochloride, then the o-chloroaniline hydrochloride is condensed with formaldehyde in the presence of stannous chloride as a catalyst to generate 4,4'-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) hydrochloride, then the 4,4'-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) hydrochloride is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to generate MOCA, and then multi-stage washing, oil-water separation, stripping, dehydration and granulation are performed. The synthetic catalyst stannous chloride is not only retained in the synthetic mother liquor but also retained in the wastewater and MOCA waste materials in the washing process. The wastewater is concentrated by evaporation, the recovered distilled water is discharged after reaching the standard, and the catalyst stannous chloride is mixed in the distillation residue and MOCA waste materials in the form of hazardous waste and is safely landfilled.

[0004] This treatment method is a great waste of valuable tin resources, and how to separate and recover the metal tin in the MOCA waste materials is a bottleneck problem to be solved in the industry. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the application provides a method for recovering tin from MOCA wastewater and waste materials, which comprises the following steps:

[0006] Pretreatment of MOCA wastewater containing tin: 40-60 wt% hydrogen peroxide is added to the MOCA production process wastewater, and stirring is performed until all the stannous ions in the MOCA production process wastewater are converted into stannic ions, then sodium hydroxide is added to adjust the pH to 6-7, and tin mud is recovered by filtration;

[0007] Pre-treatment of tin-containing MOCA waste: the waste (e.g. MOCA, stannous chloride, stannic oxychloride, and dichlorobenzene ammonium, etc.) produced in the MOCA production process is mixed with tin sludge, 25-35 wt% hydrochloric acid solution is added to adjust the pH to 3-5 to obtain a mixture a, 3-5 L of deionized water is added to each 1 kg of the mixture a, and mixed and stirred into a slurry, solid-liquid separation is performed, and such repeated washing is performed 2-5 times to remove the soluble salt (e.g. sodium chloride, etc.) in the tin-containing waste to obtain the pre-treated tin-containing MOCA waste;

[0008] Preparation of tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution: the tin content in the pre-treated tin-containing MOCA waste is detected, 25-35 wt% hydrochloric acid solution is added to the pre-treated tin-containing MOCA waste according to the stoichiometric ratio (1:4-8) mol of tin to hydrogen chloride, and heated for 4-6 h, cooled, and solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain the tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution, and the MOCA waste after tin recovery is returned to the MOCA production line for use;

[0009] Preparation of crude tin oxide: sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate is added to the tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution to adjust the pH value to 6-7, stirring is then performed, and solid-liquid separation and washing are performed to obtain the crude tin hydroxide and sodium chloride solution.

[0010] Preferably, the mass concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 50 wt% in the process of pre-treating the tin-containing MOCA waste.

[0011] Preferably, the ratio of the MOCA production process wastewater to 40-60 wt% hydrogen peroxide is 1000 L:(1-5) L in the process of pre-treating the tin-containing MOCA waste. Excessive hydrogen peroxide will not only cause the cost of treating the wastewater to be too high, but also cause secondary environmental pollution.

[0012] Preferably, the ratio of the MOCA production process wastewater to 40-60 wt% hydrogen peroxide is 1000 L:(2-3) L in the process of pre-treating the tin-containing MOCA waste.

[0013] Preferably, the stirring time is 2-4 h and the stirring speed is 500-1500 r / min in the process of pre-treating the tin-containing MOCA waste.

[0014] Preferably, the heating temperature is 90-120 °C in the process of preparing the tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution. A reasonable heating temperature can ensure that the hydrochloric acid and the tin compounds in the waste are fully reacted, while avoiding unnecessary side reactions or volatilization loss caused by excessively high temperature.

[0015] Preferably, the heating temperature is 95-110 °C in the process of preparing the tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution.

[0016] Preferably, the mass concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution used in the process of preparing the tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution is 31 wt%

[0017] Preferably, in the preparation of crude tin oxide, the stirring time is 2-4h, and the stirring speed is 500-700r / min. Here, the stirring speed should not be too fast, because too fast stirring speed can easily produce bubbles, leading to inaccurate pH value test. Also, the stirring speed should not be too slow, because too slow stirring speed can lead to uneven stirring and inaccurate pH value test. Moreover, the stirring time should not be too short, because too short stirring time can lead to insufficient reaction.

[0018] Beneficial effects are that: the application first pretreats MOCA wastewater and waste materials, then separates tin elements in MOCA production wastewater and MOCA production waste materials by hydrochloric acid to obtain a tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution, and then neutralizes the tin-containing hydrochloric acid solution by an alkaline substance to form a tin oxide precipitate. The crude tin oxide prepared by this method has a high tin content and less impurities, and can be directly applied to tin smelting raw materials or tin chemical production raw materials. The sodium chloride solution is directly recycled by evaporation crystallization, and the MOCA waste materials after tin separation can also return to the MOCA production line, so as to effectively improve the utilization rate of metal tin and MOCA raw materials, reduce the generation of hazardous waste, and has good economic and environmental benefits.
