Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of metallurgy and chemical industry, and in particular to the field of antimony hydrometallurgy. Background Art

[0002] Antimony is a key metallic material widely used in flame retardants, photovoltaic glass, lead-acid batteries, polyester catalysts, and alloy manufacturing. Antimony occurs primarily in nature as stibnite (Sb2S3), with a smaller amount occurring as antimony sinter (Sb2O3). Existing methods for producing metallic antimony can be categorized as pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical. Currently, the industry primarily utilizes the "blast furnace volatilization-reverberatory furnace reduction" process to produce metallic antimony. However, this process is energy-intensive and is accompanied by the emission of large amounts of low-concentration SO2 flue gas, making antimony smelting a significant contributor to environmental concerns.

[0003] Compared to pyrometallurgical antimony smelting, hydrometallurgical antimony smelting technology has attracted much attention due to its environmental advantages. Based on the differences in leaching systems, hydrometallurgical antimony smelting processes can be divided into acidic leaching processes and alkaline leaching processes. Acidic leaching processes, represented by chloride leaching-electrodeposition, have high requirements for equipment corrosion protection, and the leachate composition is complex and difficult to remove impurities, which is not conducive to continuous production and industrial application. Therefore, the existing technology tends to adopt sodium sulfide leaching-sodium thioantimonite solution electrodeposition (sodium sulfide leaching-electrodeposition). For example, Chinese patent document with publication number CN107641818A discloses a process for producing raw antimony, which comprises the following steps: flotation and leaching of an antimony ore containing 3% to 5% to obtain an antimony-containing leachate, and then using the antimony-containing leachate to produce raw antimony using a diaphragm-free electrodeposition method.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN105063354A discloses a cascade recovery method for refractory gold ore containing arsenic and antimony. The method specifically describes adding sodium sulfide to the gold ore under alkaline conditions to leach antimony; the leachate is then electrolytically deposited to obtain cathode antimony liquid.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology reports some schemes for preparing antimony metal by electrolytic deposition of antimony sulfide and alkaline leaching solution, but the anode of the existing scheme will preferentially undergo oxygen evolution reaction (4OH - =O2+4e - +2H2O), which will increase the consumption of alkali, significantly increase the electricity and preparation costs. Not only that, the effect and efficiency of cathode antimony precipitation also need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problems of the existing technology, the present invention provides an antimony hydrometallurgical method that couples sulfide ion oxidation reaction, aiming to provide a new antimony hydrometallurgical method that couples sulfide ion oxidation and antimony reduction to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

[0007] In the prior art, antimony concentrate is usually leached in the presence of sulfide and alkali, and the high-alkali leaching system is directly electrolyzed, and the electrolysis method is basically a diaphragm-free electrolysis method. In this electrolysis method, antimony is precipitated at the cathode, but the dominant reaction at the anode is oxygen evolution. This consumes a lot of electricity, and the antimony produced is difficult to meet the high-demand application scenarios. To address this problem, the present invention innovatively proposes the following new processing ideas, specifically:

[0008] The invention relates to an antimony hydrometallurgical method coupled with a sulfide ion oxidation reaction, wherein antimony concentrate is leached in a leaching agent containing a water-soluble sulfide A and an alkali A to produce an antimony-containing leachate; and the antimony-containing leachate is electrolytically treated in an electrolytic cell.

[0009] The electrolytic cell comprises a container and a cationic diaphragm that separates the container into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber; the cathode chamber is provided with a cathode, and the anode chamber is provided with an anode compounded with a sulfur ion oxidation catalyst;

[0010] During the electrolysis process, the antimony-containing leachate is used as electrolyte A and placed in the cathode chamber, and a solution containing water-soluble sulfide B and alkali B is used as electrolyte B and placed in the anode chamber. The anode and cathode are then conductively connected for electrolysis, so that antimony is deposited in the cathode chamber to form antimony. During this process, sulfur ions undergo an oxidation reaction in the anode chamber.

[0011] The present invention innovatively electrolyzes the antimony leachate in an electrolytic cell separated by a cationic membrane, and jointly controls the anode, electrolytes A, and electrolyte B. This allows for synergy, enabling electroreduction of antimony ions at the cathode and selective oxidation of sulfur ions at the anode. The method of the present invention couples antimony reduction and sulfur ion oxidation, and achieves unidirectional movement of active ions. The method of the present invention achieves efficient antimony conversion, improves antimony yield and purity, and effectively reduces energy consumption and anode alkali consumption.

[0018] In the present invention, known sulfur ion oxidation catalysts can be compounded in the anode of the present invention to achieve selective oxidation of sulfur ions in the anode chamber, and based on this, coupling of sulfur ion oxidation and antimony reduction is achieved.

This preferred material facilitates integration with the inventive process, further enhancing the coupling effect between sulfur oxidation and antimony reduction.

[0020] In the present invention, the modified cobalt ferrite preparation method is, for example, to prepare the modified cobalt ferrite by heat-treating a material containing an iron source, a cobalt source, and a modification source (boron source and / or phosphorus source) to form nuclei. The nucleation temperature is, for example, 300-800°C.

After 30 minutes of leaching, the mixture was filtered to obtain a filtrate. The filter cake was then washed with water (the liquid-to-solid ratio during the washing stage was 1-2 mL / g) to obtain a washing solution.

The antimony precipitation amount and quality were low, and the Faraday efficiency under the same amount of electricity was far lower than that of the solution of the present invention. This also shows that the method of the present invention can obtain better Faraday efficiency, better antimony electrolysis efficiency and effect, and in addition, it has lower alkali consumption and has excellent industrial application prospects.
