Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for enriching secondary resources of platinum group metals using an electromagnetic field, belonging to the technical field of platinum group metal resource recovery. Background Art
[0002] Platinum group metals (PGMs) have stable chemical properties, excellent catalytic activity, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. They are widely used in automotive exhaust purification, electronics, chemical catalysis, and aerospace. PGMs are relatively abundant in secondary resources, especially in spent automotive exhaust catalysts, petrochemical waste catalysts, and fine chemical waste catalysts, with PGM content far exceeding that of their original ore, making them highly valuable for recycling.
[0003] Currently developed spent automotive catalysts basically use pyrometallurgical smelting enrichment processes to recover platinum group metals, but the existing pyrometallurgical enrichment technology still has problems such as long enrichment cycle, high energy consumption, and low PGMs content in ferroalloys. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the existing technology of using pyrometallurgical smelting enrichment process to recover platinum group metals, which has problems such as long enrichment cycle, high energy consumption, and low PGMs content in ferroalloys, the present invention proposes a method for enriching secondary resources of platinum group metals using electromagnetic field. During the electromagnetic field enrichment process, the electromagnetic effect promotes the migration and growth of ferroalloy collector grains (iron Fe, nickel Ni, cobalt Co, manganese Mn), thereby enhancing the collector's ability to capture platinum group metals; a composite collector composed of iron concentrate and waste ternary precursor is used, and the coupling effect between iron Fe, nickel Ni, cobalt Co, and manganese Mn can be utilized to enhance the electromagnetic enrichment effect.
[0005] A method for enriching secondary resources of platinum group metals using an electromagnetic field, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) uniformly mixing platinum group metal-containing waste, a collector, a reducing agent, an additive, and a binder to obtain a mixture;
[0007] (2) wet-grinding the mixture to obtain a wet-grinded mixture, pelletizing the wet-grinded mixture, and drying the mixture to obtain pellets containing platinum group metal waste;
[0008] (3) Under a protective atmosphere, the platinum group metal waste pellets are electromagnetically enriched in a temperature-controlled electromagnetic field induction heating furnace to obtain reduced pellets;
[0009] (4) Magnetic separation is used to recover ferroalloy-PGMs from the reduced pellets to achieve the enrichment of platinum group metals.
[0010] Preferably, the platinum group metal-containing waste material in step (1) is automobile exhaust waste catalyst, petrochemical waste catalyst or fine chemical waste catalyst containing platinum group metals.
[0011] Preferably, the collector in step (1) is composed of iron ore concentrate and waste ternary precursor powder containing nickel, cobalt and manganese, and the mass ratio of iron ore concentrate to waste ternary precursor powder is 39~49:1; the reducing agent is coke powder or anthracite, the additive is one or more of quicklime, limestone, slaked lime, borax and sodium carbonate, and the binder is one or more of inorganic binders or organic binders.
[0012] More preferably, the waste ternary precursor powder is one or more of NCM811 precursor, NCM622 precursor, and NCM523 precursor, the inorganic binder is water glass and / or bentonite, and the organic binder is one or more of humic acid, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, starch, and dextrin.
[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of the collector to the platinum group metal-containing waste is 1.5-2:1, the mass ratio of the platinum group metal-containing waste to the reducing agent is 4-4.5:1, the mass ratio of the platinum group metal-containing waste to the additive is 11-15:1, and the mass ratio of the platinum group metal-containing waste to the binder is 30-35:1.
[0014] The strength of the platinum group metal waste pellets in step (2) is not less than 200N / P.
[0015] Preferably, the electromagnetic enrichment method in step (3) specifically comprises:
[0016] At an electromagnetic field frequency of 10-30kHz, the temperature is raised from 400-600°C to 700-900°C to achieve variable temperature electromagnetic enrichment for 20-30 minutes. During this low-temperature stage, the low-frequency electromagnetic field has a stronger penetration depth and can more effectively act on the interior of the reduced pellets, causing the primary crystals of the metallic iron alloy produced by the reduction to form in large quantities on the surface of the capture agent, laying the foundation for the subsequent stages.
[0017] Under an electromagnetic field frequency of 40-60 kHz, the temperature is raised from 700-900°C to 1100-1300°C for 20-30 minutes to achieve variable temperature electromagnetic enrichment. During this medium temperature stage, the collector ferroalloy grains begin to grow rapidly. The moderate frequency provides moderate electromagnetic and magnetic forces, accelerating the migration of particles in the ferroalloy grains, achieving rapid growth of the ferroalloy grains and efficient capture of PGMs.
[0018] The electromagnetic enrichment is carried out at a constant temperature of 1100-1300°C for 80-180 minutes at an electromagnetic field frequency of 80-100kHz. During this high-temperature constant stage, the high-frequency electromagnetic field can generate a stronger local electromagnetic force density, causing the iron alloy grains generated in the low and medium magnetic fields to migrate and aggregate, allowing the iron alloy grains to fully grow to the target size (tens or even hundreds of microns). At the same time, it ensures that the PGMs have enough time to reach distribution equilibrium in the iron alloy phase through diffusion, achieving deep capture.
[0019] The electromagnetic field frequency is reduced to 60-70kHz, and constant temperature electromagnetic enrichment is carried out at a temperature of 1100-1300℃ for 50-60min. During this high-temperature constant stage, the grains have fully grown, and the frequency is moderately reduced (but stirring is still maintained) to allow PGMs to settle on the ferroalloy grains and allow the ferroalloy grains to continue to aggregate and grow, creating a more favorable phase distribution for subsequent magnetic separation (large particles are easier to separate), stabilizing the grain structure, reducing internal defects, and ensuring that PGMs are fully homogenized in the ferroalloy phase.
[0020] In the step (4), the grain size of the ferroalloy-PGMs is 50-200 μm.
[0021] The principle behind the electromagnetic field enrichment of secondary PGM resources is that low PGM recovery rates are often caused by low collector efficiency. Low PGM content in ferroalloys is a major challenge in the pyrometallurgical enrichment of secondary PGM resources. Electromagnetic field enrichment promotes the growth of ferroalloy collector grains (Fe / Ni / Co / Mn) through the electromagnetic effect of the electromagnetic field. The alternating electromagnetic field induces an induced current within the collector grains, which is perpendicular to the magnetic field and interacts with the alternating electromagnetic field to generate an electromagnetic force (Lorentz force). Furthermore, the collector ferroalloy grains are magnetized in the magnetic field, and the interaction between the magnetized ferroalloy grains and the magnetic field results in a magnetic force. Due to the different electrical conductivity and magnetic susceptibility of the collector iron alloy grains and non-metallic grains, the electromagnetic force and magnetic force they are subjected to in the electromagnetic field are of different magnitude and direction. The collector iron alloy grains migrate and aggregate under the action of electromagnetic and magnetic forces in the electromagnetic field. The migration and aggregation enable the iron alloy grains to better capture platinum group metals during movement. In the absence of the electromagnetic field, the iron alloy grains only grow in a fixed position and do not have the migration and aggregation process. Therefore, the capture effect of platinum group metals is poor, resulting in a low platinum group metal recovery rate; the collector grain size after aggregation in the electromagnetic field is larger than the iron alloy grain size without the electromagnetic field. The large-sized iron alloy grains are more easily recovered in the magnetic separation process, making the platinum group metal recovery rate of the electromagnetic field enrichment method higher than that of the method without electromagnetic enrichment; electromagnetic enrichment realizes the increase of the collector iron alloy grain size and migration and aggregation, significantly improves the capture effect of the collector, increases the platinum group metal content in the iron alloy, and increases the recovery rate of Fe-PGMs alloy in the magnetic separation stage.
[0022] During electromagnetic enrichment, the collector iron alloy grains (Fe / Ni / Co / Mn) preferentially form at defects in the magnetite lattice. Initially, these grains form at numerous locations and exhibit a fragile structure. Therefore, low-frequency electromagnetic field and variable-temperature electromagnetic enrichment are required to ensure the mass formation of primary collector crystals during low-temperature enrichment. As the electromagnetic enrichment temperature increases, the collector iron alloy grains continue to grow. At this point, high-frequency electromagnetic field and constant-temperature electromagnetic enrichment facilitate rapid growth, migration, and aggregation of the collector grains, improving their efficiency in capturing platinum group metals.
[0023] The mechanism chain of the electromagnetic field enrichment of secondary resources of platinum group metals in the present invention is: alternating electromagnetic field → generation of Lorentz force (electromagnetic force) → driving the movement of ferroalloy grains → substantially increasing the contact frequency between ferroalloy grains → providing kinetic energy to overcome aggregation resistance → efficient aggregation → substantially increasing the size of ferroalloy grains → substantially increasing the contact opportunities between ferroalloy and PGMs particles / atoms → strengthening the diffusion and mass transfer of PGMs into ferroalloy grains → significantly improving the capture ability and dissolution rate of ferroalloy grains for PGMs → ultimately forming large-sized, PGMs-rich ferroalloy grains → efficient separation through magnetic separation → achieving high recovery rate enrichment of platinum group metals.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] (1) The present invention uses a composite collector composed of iron concentrate and waste ternary precursor, and utilizes the coupling effect between metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and manganese to enhance the electromagnetic enrichment effect;
[0026] (2) The present invention uses an electromagnetic field enrichment method to recover platinum group metals from platinum group metal-containing waste materials. The collector can achieve efficient enrichment of platinum group metals at a low temperature of 1100-1300°C (the traditional smelting enrichment temperature is 1400-1600°C), which can significantly reduce the energy consumption of the platinum group metal enrichment process, improve the platinum group metal enrichment efficiency and the platinum group metal content in the ferroalloy, and increase the platinum group metal recovery rate;
[0027] (3) The traditional enrichment method of platinum group metal waste is to use heat treatment without the action of electromagnetic field. The collector grains are generated and grown at the defects of magnetite lattice. There is no migration and aggregation process, and the growth of grain size is limited. However, under the action of electromagnetic field, the collector grains are not only affected by thermal energy, but also by electromagnetic force and magnetic force. The collector grains grow due to migration and aggregation. This has a significant improvement effect on the capture and recovery of platinum group metals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above.
[0033] The schematic diagram of the device for electromagnetic field enrichment of secondary resources of platinum group metals of the present invention is shown in Figure 1 Under a protective atmosphere, platinum group metal scrap pellets are electromagnetically enriched (in a temperature-controlled electromagnetic field induction heating furnace) to obtain reduced pellets. When an alternating electromagnetic field is applied, the collector ferroalloy produced by the reduction is a good conductor, while the surrounding slag is a relatively insulator (or has extremely poor conductivity). The electromagnetic field exerts an electromagnetic effect on the ferroalloy grains. According to the Lorentz force law, a strong electromagnetic force is generated inside and around each conductive ferroalloy grain. The direction of the electromagnetic force is alternating (depending on the direction of the electromagnetic field), but its net effect is to drive the ferroalloy grains to migrate. The Lorentz force acts on the ferroalloy grains, causing adjacent ferroalloy grains to aggregate and contact. This movement is not the isolated behavior of a single grain. A large number of grains are simultaneously subjected to force movement, resulting in migration and aggregation within the entire melt, which significantly increases the collision frequency and contact opportunities between different ferroalloy grains and between ferroalloy grains and dispersed PGMs particles / atoms. When two ferroalloy grains come into contact, the energy barrier formed by overcoming surface tension is overcome and they merge into a larger grain; driven by electromagnetic force, the grains can more easily overcome the surface tension resistance during collision, significantly improving the aggregation efficiency; reducing the physical barriers to aggregation and capture; collision and aggregation allow the originally small ferroalloy grains to grow into larger grains, thereby greatly increasing the grain size; and the dispersed PGMs atoms or tiny particles are "captured" by the ferroalloy grains that are more easily moved. Once they contact the surface of the ferroalloy grains, the PGMs will quickly dissolve into the molten ferroalloy phase (capture). The electromagnetic force accelerates the diffusion of PGMs inside the ferroalloy, making its distribution more uniform and avoiding local saturation, significantly improving the collector (ferroalloy)'s ability to capture PGMs, and increasing the rate and degree of transfer of PGMs from the slag phase to the alloy phase, ensuring that more PGMs are "collected" into the growing collector ferroalloy grains.
