Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a method for preparing ferric phosphate by utilizing waste acid liquid from aluminum products. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economy, the use of electroplating and passivation has increased. The rapid development of these industries has also spawned a large amount of industrial waste, of which waste acid accounts for a large proportion. The composition of these waste acids after surface treatment is complex and changeable, and a large proportion of them can be recycled. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle the waste acids through reasonable methods, otherwise it will have an irreversible impact on the ecological environment. Therefore, the recycling and utilization of waste acids from surface treatment will be beneficial to the economic benefits of the industry and the environmental benefits required by the government.

[0003] Most of the waste acids from surface treatment are waste phosphoric acid and waste sulfuric acid with high concentrations. If these waste acids are discharged directly into the soil without resource treatment, the nearby vegetation will wither, affecting the surrounding ecological environment and causing irreversible harm. If they are discharged directly into the nearby water system without resource treatment, the water environment will become eutrophic, affecting the ecological environment and causing damage to the water body.

[0004] Lithium iron phosphate is known as one of the most promising lithium battery cathode materials in the 21st century because of its wide source of raw materials, large specific capacity, high safety performance, long service life, and unique catalytic properties. In the 21st century, it is made into lithium batteries and widely used in various fields such as automobiles, aerospace, and mobile phones. In recent years, as the country vigorously develops the field of new energy power vehicle batteries, related research on lithium iron phosphate has also been continuously explored. At present, the precursors of lithium iron phosphate include iron oxide, iron sulfate, iron phosphate, etc. Among them, iron phosphate has a rich skeleton structure and provides both iron and phosphorus sources. Compared with other precursors, its changes in the synthetic unit cell are small, which can improve the stability of the material. Therefore, iron phosphate is the core precursor for the preparation of lithium iron phosphate.

[0005] At present, although waste solutions are recycled to prepare iron phosphate, the crystal form of the currently produced iron phosphate is mostly amorphous, and amorphous crystalline iron phosphate is not conducive to being used as a precursor material for lithium iron phosphate batteries. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for preparing ferric phosphate using waste acid liquid from aluminum products. The method is conducive to using waste acid liquid from aluminum products to prepare shaped and crystalline ferric phosphate and has the advantage of easy operation.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for preparing ferric phosphate using waste acid solution from aluminum products is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Step 5, drying: drying the crude ferric phosphate to obtain ferric phosphate dihydrate product.

[0014] In some embodiments, the iron salt solution is ferrous sulfate with a purity of 99%.

[0015] In some embodiments, in step 1, the reaction time is 0.5 h to 4 h.

[0016] In some embodiments, in step 2, the reaction time is 10 min to 60 min, and the standing time is 1 h to 2 h;

[0017] Furthermore, after filtering the first precipitate, a filter cake is obtained, the filter cake contains calcium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, and ferrous phosphate, and the filter cake is recovered.

[0018] In some embodiments, in step three, the reaction time is 5 min to 60 min, and the standing time is 1 h to 2 h.

[0019] In some embodiments, in step 4, the citric acid solution is washed 5 to 12 times.

[0020] In some embodiments, in step five, the drying temperature is 50°C to 70°C.

[0021] In some embodiments, in step 1, the stirring speed is 400 rpm / min to 800 rpm / min;

[0022] In step 2, the stirring speed is 400 rpm / min to 800 rpm / min.

[0023] In some embodiments, ferric phosphate is prepared using a production device, the production device comprising:

[0024] The first reactor, the second reactor and the third reactor, the first reactor is connected to the first filter plate frame at the bottom, the first reactor is connected to the second reactor, the bottom of the second reactor is connected to the third reactor, the third reactor is connected to the second filter plate frame, and the second filter plate frame is connected to the oven,

[0025] The first reactor is connected to a first feeder and a second feeder, and the second reactor is connected to a third feeder.

[0026] When using,

[0027] In step 1, the adjusted iron salt solution is added to the first feeder, the waste acid liquid of aluminum products is placed in the first reactor, and the iron salt solution is added to the waste acid liquid of aluminum products in the first reactor through the first feeder. After the reaction, the waste acid liquid is filtered by standing and the bottom material is discharged. The obtained solution is the filtrate.

[0028] In step 2, calcium hydroxide is added to the second feeder, and calcium hydroxide is added to the filtrate of the first reactor through the second feeder, and the first precipitate at the bottom of the first reactor is passed through the first filter plate frame for filtration, and the supernatant in the first reactor is passed into the second reactor;

[0029] In step 3, a hydrogen peroxide solution is added to the third feeder, and the hydrogen peroxide solution is added to the ferrous phosphate solution in the second reactor through the third feeder, and the second precipitate at the bottom of the second reactor is transferred to the third reactor.

[0030] In step 4, a citric acid solution is added to the second precipitate in the third reactor for washing. After washing, the excess solution is removed by the second filter plate frame. The obtained solid is a crude iron phosphate and is transferred to the oven for drying.

[0031] Also provided is the application of iron phosphate, wherein the iron phosphate is prepared by the above-mentioned method of preparing iron phosphate by using waste acid liquid of aluminum products, and the iron phosphate is applied in positive electrode materials of lithium ion batteries.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the method for preparing ferric phosphate using waste acid liquid of aluminum products of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] (1) The method of preparing ferric phosphate using waste acid liquid of aluminum products of the present invention uses waste acid liquid of passivated aluminum products as a phosphorus source, which, on the one hand, reduces the phosphorus concentration in the waste acid, solves the problem of waste acid discharge, is beneficial to environmental protection and simplifies the waste acid discharge process, and on the other hand, reduces the production cost of phosphate raw materials.

[0034] (2) The method of preparing ferric phosphate using waste acid liquid of aluminum products of the present invention first adds an iron salt solution to the waste acid liquid of aluminum products, and obtains a filtrate containing ferric phosphate after filtering. Then, calcium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH of the entire solution system. Since the calcium ions in the calcium hydroxide react well with the sulfate ions of the passivated waste acid liquid of aluminum products to generate solid calcium sulfate, the sulfate ions can be removed after the calcium sulfate is removed, thus laying a foundation for the waste acid liquid of aluminum products to be used as a phosphorus source, thereby overcoming the effect that the traditional use of sodium hydroxide can only adjust the pH.

[0035] (3) The method for preparing ferric phosphate using waste acid liquid of aluminum products of the present invention, after impurities are removed in step 2, precipitated calcium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide and ferrous phosphate are produced, sulfate, aluminum ions and ferrous sulfate in the waste acid liquid of aluminum products are effectively removed, and the waste acid liquid of aluminum products is further impurities removed, and the phosphate concentration in the waste acid is effectively reduced to meet the national emission standards. The obtained supernatant mainly contains ferrous ions, phosphate ions and hypophosphite ions. The ferrous phosphate solution can be used as a raw material for preparing lithium iron phosphate batteries. The ferrous phosphate solution is treated with a hydrogen peroxide solution to obtain a second precipitate containing ferric phosphate; the second precipitate is then washed with a citric acid solution to completely remove sulfate in the ferric phosphate product, which can reduce the agglomeration phenomenon between particles and control the generation of spherical ferric phosphate, effectively control the particle size between crystal grains, and facilitate the crystallization of ferric phosphate in the subsequent drying. Therefore, adding a certain concentration of citric acid for multiple washings can effectively promote the crystallization of ferric phosphate and remove excess impurities at the same time, thereby overcoming the problem that the traditional method of washing with only washing water cannot effectively remove sulfate and affects the crystallization of the finished product. Furthermore, the present invention uses a citric acid solution with a concentration of 3-5%, so as to avoid the situation that the ferric phosphate mostly forms discus when washed with low-concentration citric acid, and cannot be well crystallized into spherical ferric phosphate.

[0036] (4) In the method of preparing iron phosphate using waste acid liquid from aluminum products of the present invention, the iron phosphate product is further dried by a high-temperature device such as a muffle furnace, which promotes the formation of iron phosphate crystals and removes two molecules of water to become anhydrous iron phosphate. The crystallinity of the product meets the conditions for preparing lithium iron phosphate precursors.

[0037] (5) The method of preparing iron phosphate using waste acid liquid of aluminum products of the present invention uses waste acid of passivated aluminum products as a phosphate raw material, effectively reducing the phosphorus concentration in the waste acid and solving the problem of waste acid discharge, that is, the precursor iron phosphate that meets the performance requirements of lithium iron phosphate batteries can be prepared by using the phosphate in the waste acid of passivated aluminum products, and the phosphorus source in the waste acid can be recycled to meet the national emission requirements for discharge. Compared with the traditional treatment method of waste acid of passivated aluminum products before discharge, this method avoids the use of crystallization method, biological method, etc., not only recovers high-concentration phosphate to prepare iron phosphate, but also reduces the phosphorus source cost of the traditional method for preparing iron phosphate and simplifies the process for preparing iron phosphate, and the product properties such as crystallinity meet the standards of lithium iron phosphate battery precursors, overcomes the problem that the sludge generated by the traditional method for treating waste acid of aluminum products is difficult to recycle, and then solves the problem of phosphorus-containing sludge polluting the environment and the waste of resources due to the difficulty in recovering phosphorus in the sludge.

[0038] (5) The method of the present invention for preparing iron phosphate using waste acid liquid of aluminum products, and the method of the present invention for preparing iron phosphate using high-concentration phosphate in surface treatment waste acid as a phosphorus source, have a shorter reaction time and a lower preparation cost compared with the existing method for preparing iron phosphate; the method of the present invention for preparing iron phosphate using high-concentration phosphate in surface treatment waste acid as a phosphorus source, compared with the traditional method for preparing iron phosphate, does not produce flammable and explosive gases, and the operation is safer and more efficient.
