Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vanadium extraction metallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for sodium roasting of vanadium slag and water leaching to extract vanadium and recycle sodium salt and process water. Background Art

[0002] Vanadium slag is the main raw material for the production of vanadium oxide. The traditional industrial production process is sodium roasting and water leaching to extract vanadium. During the sodium roasting process of vanadium slag, part of the chromium reacts with sodium salts to form water-soluble sodium chromate, which enters the solution during the sodium clinker water leaching process, forming an alkaline leachate of sodium vanadate containing chromium; after the leachate is dephosphorized with calcium chloride, sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH of the leachate to ≈ 2 and ammonium sulfate is added to precipitate vanadium to obtain the intermediate product ammonium polyvanadate. The vanadium precipitation wastewater mainly contains Na + NH4 + 、SO4 2- 、V 5+ Cr 6+ 、SiO3 2- etc., by adding reducing agents such as sodium metabisulfite, sodium bisulfite or sodium sulfite to V 5+ Cr 6+ Restore to V 4+ Cr 3+, The solution is then adjusted to a pH of 7-9 using sodium hydroxide, allowing vanadium, chromium, and silicon to precipitate, forming a vanadium-chromium reduction sludge. After separating the vanadium, chromium, and silicon, the solution is further adjusted to a pH of approximately 12 using sodium hydroxide. Ammonia is then removed by stripping, absorbed with sulfuric acid, and recycled for vanadium precipitation. The deammoniated wastewater is evaporated, concentrated, and crystallized to produce sodium sulfate as a solid waste. The condensate produced during the evaporation process contains a certain concentration of ammonia, which is produced during the clinker leaching cycle, impacting the leaching process. For every ton of vanadium pentoxide produced, approximately 2.5-3 tons of sodium sulfate as a solid waste are generated. In the existing sodium roasting-water leaching process for vanadium extraction, sodium roasting consumes a large amount of sodium carbonate and the water treatment process is complex, resulting in high vanadium oxide production costs. The treatment of vanadium precipitation wastewater produces a large amount of sodium sulfate as a solid waste, posing a significant environmental risk. Achieving low-cost recycling of sodium salts and process water, reducing vanadium oxide production costs, and minimizing the generation of sodium sulfate as a solid waste from water treatment are key challenges facing the vanadium industry.

[0003] To achieve the recycling of sodium salts during the vanadium slag extraction process, Publication No. CN 116837230A provides a method for clean vanadium extraction from vanadium slag and its application. The main technical concept involves using calcium oxide to remove silicon and phosphorus from the sodium-containing leachate, then using the calcium oxide to precipitate vanadium, producing an intermediate product, calcium vanadate, and a vanadium precipitation mother liquor. The vanadium precipitation mother liquor is then passed through CO2 to crystallize sodium bicarbonate, which is then returned to the roasting process as a sodium-forming additive. The sodium bicarbonate mother liquor is separated to remove chromium and then recycled for clinker leaching. The calcium vanadate is leached with sodium bicarbonate, evaporated and concentrated to produce solid sodium metavanadate. This solid is then mixed with an aluminum additive, reduced at high temperature, and leached to separate vanadium and sodium. The sodium-containing solution is then passed through CO2 to crystallize sodium bicarbonate, which is then returned to the roasting process as a sodium-forming additive. This process achieves the recycling of sodium salts, but it also presents challenges such as a lengthy process flow and high water evaporation.

[0004] Publication No. CN 116854109A provides a method for producing sodium carbonate and ammonium sulfate from sodium sulfate. The main technical concept involves dissolving the sodium sulfate and mixing it with ammonium bicarbonate, causing a double decomposition reaction to produce solid sodium bicarbonate. The crystallization mother liquor is then evaporated and crystallized to produce a mixed salt of sodium sulfate and ammonium sulfate, which is then separated to produce ammonium sulfate. The sodium bicarbonate can be recycled as a sodium-forming additive for vanadium slag roasting. A small amount of ammonium sulfate can be recycled as an ammonium salt in the vanadium precipitation process, with the majority of the ammonium sulfate being sold externally. While this method achieves the recycling of sodium salts, it also presents challenges such as a longer vanadium oxide production process and the addition of ammonium sulfate as a byproduct.

[0005] The problem of how to achieve low-cost recycling of sodium salt and process water based on the existing vanadium slag sodium roasting-water leaching vanadium extraction production process, reduce the cost of vanadium oxide production process and reduce the generation of sodium sulfate as solid waste in water treatment remains to be solved. At present, there are no relevant technical reports that can effectively solve the above problems and have prospects for industrial application. Summary of the Invention

[0039] f) distilling and separating the separated liquid to obtain a solvent and a primary crystallization mother liquor; the solvent is returned to step e) for recycling; the primary crystallization mother liquor is returned to step b) for water immersion;

[0040] Dissolving the primary crystals and adding ammonium compounds to precipitate vanadium, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain ammonium metavanadate solid and vanadium precipitation supernatant; wherein the ammonium compounds include one or more of ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and ammonia water;

[0041] g) introducing CO2 into the upper layer of the vanadium precipitation liquid to adjust the pH and crystallize sodium bicarbonate, performing solid-liquid separation to obtain sodium bicarbonate solid and secondary crystallization mother liquor; the sodium bicarbonate solid is returned to step a) for mixing with the vanadium slag and then sodiumization and roasting; the secondary crystallization mother liquor is returned to step f) to participate in dissolving the primary crystals.

[0042] In the method provided herein, in step a), the vanadium slag is mixed with the sodium salt and then roasted. This allows the vanadium in the vanadium slag to react with the sodium salt to form soluble sodium vanadate, facilitating the dissolution of the vanadium into the solution during the subsequent water leaching process. Furthermore, during the roasting process, a small amount of chromium in the vanadium slag reacts with the sodium to form water-soluble sodium chromate.

[0043] In the method provided by the present invention, in step a), the vanadium slag is preferably obtained by vanadium extraction and blowing from vanadium-containing molten iron in a converter; the main components of the vanadium slag preferably include V2O5, FeO, SiO2, TiO2, CaO, MgO, MnO and Cr2O3, wherein the content of V2O5 is generally 10-20wt%; the particle size of the vanadium slag is preferably ≤300μm, more preferably ≤200μm, further preferably ≤150μm, and most preferably ≤125μm (120 mesh).

[0044] In the method provided by the present invention, in step a), the mass ratio of the sodium salt calculated as Na2O to the vanadium slag calculated as V2O5 is preferably (0.93-1.05):1, specifically 0.93:1, 0.94:1, 0.95:1, 0.96:1, 0.97:1, 0.98:1, 0.99:1, 1:1, 1.01:1, 1.02:1, 1.03:1, 1.04:1 or 1.05:1.

[0045] In the method provided by the present invention, in step a), the temperature of the sodium calcination is preferably 780-830°C, specifically 780°C, 785°C, 790°C, 795°C, 800°C, 805°C, 810°C, 815°C, 820°C, 825°C or 830°C; the time of the sodium calcination is preferably 60-120 min, specifically 60 min, 65 min, 70 min, 75 min, 80 min, 85 min, 90 min, 95 min, 100 min, 105 min, 110 min, 115 min or 120 min.

[0046] In the method provided by the present invention, in step a), after completing the sodium roasting, the obtained sodium clinker is preferably ground. The particle size of the ground sodium clinker is preferably ≤300 μm, more preferably ≤200 μm, further preferably ≤150 μm, and most preferably ≤125 μm (120 mesh).

[0047] In the method provided herein, in step b), the sodium-treated clinker is leached in water, dissolving the water-soluble sodium vanadate in the clinker into a solution to produce a leachate. Because the primary crystallization mother liquor, after separation of vanadium and sodium, is subsequently recycled for clinker leaching, the sodium and vanadium concentrations in the leachate are higher than those in conventional processes, facilitating the subsequent crystallization and separation of sodium and vanadium from the solution.

[0048] In the method provided by the present invention, in step c), the main impurity elements contained in the leaching solution are chromium, silicon and phosphorus.

[0049] In the method provided by the present invention, in step c), the molar ratio of the sodium aluminate calculated as Al to the leachate calculated as Si is preferably (0.6-1):1, specifically 0.6:1, 0.65:1, 0.7:1, 0.75:1, 0.8:1, 0.85:1, 0.9:1, 0.95:1 or 1:1; the reaction temperature of the precipitation removal of silicon is preferably 50-80°C, specifically 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C or 80°C; the reaction temperature of the precipitation removal of silicon is preferably 50-80°C, specifically 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C or 80°C; The pH value is preferably 9 to 10.5, specifically 9, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 10, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, or 10.5. The reaction time for the precipitation desiliconization is preferably 10 to 60 minutes, specifically 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, 50 minutes, 55 minutes, or 60 minutes. In the present invention, when the amount of sodium aluminate used is calculated at a molar ratio of Al / Si = 0.6 to 1, the silicon concentration of the desiliconized solution can be reduced to below 0.05 g / L, meeting the technical requirements for subsequent weakly alkaline ammonium vanadium precipitation.

[0050] In the method provided by the present invention, in step d), the chromium removal agent is selected as an organic reagent composed of three elements: C, H, and O. This is to avoid the chromium removal agent introducing sulfur, NH3, etc., which affect sodium salt, process water circulation, and ammonia volatilization and deteriorate the operating environment. The reaction products of the chromium removal process are mainly chromium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide. No new impurity ions are introduced into the solution system, which avoids the problem that traditional chromium removal technology generally uses sulfur-containing reducing agents such as sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfide, and sodium sulfhydride to introduce sulfur, affecting the recovery of sodium salt in the form of sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate and the process water circulation. In the chromium removal process, trivalent chromium combines with phosphate to form a chromium phosphate precipitate, which enters the by-product chromium hydroxide. This reaction can control the phosphorus concentration of the solution system to be maintained within a smaller fluctuation range and will not be enriched. The chromium removal slurry is cooled and concentrated by reduced pressure evaporation to create conditions for subsequent vanadium and sodium crystallization separation.

[0051] In the method provided by the present invention, in step d), the reaction temperature of the reduction chromium removal is preferably 150-250°C to improve the chromium removal rate and control the oxidation product of the chromium removal agent to be carbonate, specifically 150°C, 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, 190°C, 200°C, 210°C, 220°C, 230°C, 240°C or 250°C; the reaction time of the reduction chromium removal is preferably 1-4h, specifically 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h or 4h.

[0052] In the method provided by the present invention, in step d), the volume of the dechromized concentrated vanadium solution is preferably 70-80% of the volume of the desiliconized solution, specifically 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79% or 80%; the Cr concentration of the dechromized concentrated vanadium solution is preferably controlled at ≤0.1 g / L, specifically 0.01 g / L, 0.02 g / L, 0.03 g / L, 0.04 g / L, 0.05 g / L, 0.06 g / L, 0.07 g / L, 0.08 g / L, 0.09 g / L or 0.1 g / L.

[0053] In the method provided herein, in step e), CO2 is passed through the dechromized concentrated vanadium solution to adjust the solution pH. This is to convert some of the sodium vanadate salt into sodium bicarbonate, which has a lower solubility, thereby facilitating the crystallization and separation of sodium ions from the solution. Simultaneously, sodium pyrovanadate is converted into sodium metavanadate. Because the solubility of sodium bicarbonate and sodium metavanadate decreases with decreasing temperature and they are insoluble in organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol, lowering the solution temperature and adding an organic solvent can help increase the solution's supersaturation and promote the crystallization of sodium bicarbonate and sodium metavanadate.

[0054] In the method provided by the present invention, in step e), the pH value of the dechromized concentrated vanadium solution is preferably adjusted to 7 to 9 by CO2, specifically 7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9 or 9; the volume ratio of the solvent to the dechromized concentrated vanadium solution is preferably (0.5 to 1):1, specifically the crystallization temperature is preferably 15-30°C, specifically 15°C, 16°C, 17°C, 18°C, 19°C, 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C (room temperature), 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C or 30°C.

[0055] In the method provided by the present invention, in step f), the separated liquid after separating the sodium bicarbonate and sodium metavanadate solids contains a solvent. Since the boiling point, specific heat capacity, and latent heat of vaporization of the solvents methanol and ethanol are much smaller than those of water, the energy required for distilling and separating the solvent is less than that for evaporating process water, which can reduce the evaporation and concentration cost of process water. The solvent separated by distillation can be recycled for the next round of sodium bicarbonate and sodium metavanadate crystallization. The primary crystallization mother liquor after separating the solvent has a low concentration of vanadium and sodium ions and can be recycled for leaching sodium clinker, reducing the amount of fresh water used for immersion.

[0056] In the method provided by the present invention, in step f), the primary crystallization product is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium metavanadate. By using ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonia water or the like to precipitate vanadium, the vanadium in the sodium metavanadate can be combined with ammonium ions to form ammonium metavanadate precipitate, thereby achieving the separation of vanadium and sodium, while avoiding the introduction of SO4 by using ammonium salts such as ammonium sulfate and ammonium chloride to precipitate vanadium. 2- 、Cl - Affects the circulation of sodium salt and process water.

[0057] In the method provided by the present invention, in step f), the solution Na after the primary crystals are dissolved + The concentration is preferably 35 to 50 g / L, specifically 35 g / L, 36 g / L, 37 g / L, 38 g / L, 39 g / L, 40 g / L, 41 g / L, 42 g / L, 43 g / L, 44 g / L, 45 g / L, 46 g / L, 47 g / L, 48 g / L, 49 g / L or 50 g / L; the pH value of the vanadium precipitation reaction is preferably 9.3 to 9.8, specifically 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7 or 9.8. In the present invention, it is preferred to control the Na content of the vanadium precipitation solution. +The concentration is 35-50 g / L and the reaction pH is 9.3-9.8, because the solubility of sodium bicarbonate is relatively small, and a higher pH value of vanadium precipitation can increase the CO3 2- concentration, and correspondingly reduce HCO3 - concentration to avoid a large amount of sodium ions crystallizing out in the form of sodium bicarbonate during the vanadium precipitation process.

[0058] In the method provided by the present invention, in step f), the reaction time, reaction temperature and amount of ammonium compound used in the vanadium precipitation can be selected and determined according to the vanadium precipitation rate index of the weak alkaline ammonium salt vanadium precipitation test. + The molar ratio of the ammonium compound calculated as V to the primary crystallized product calculated as V is preferably (2.8-3.5):1, specifically 2.8:1, 2.9:1, 3:1, 3.1:1, 3.2:1, 3.3:1, 3.4:1 or 3.5:1; the reaction temperature of the vanadium precipitation is preferably 10-20°C, specifically 10°C, 11°C, 12°C, 13°C, 14°C, 15°C, 16°C, 17°C, 18°C, 19°C or 20°C; the reaction time of the vanadium precipitation is preferably 3-5h, specifically 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 4.5h or 5h.

[0059] In the method provided by the present invention, in step g), the upper layer of vanadium precipitation solution mainly contains Na + NH4 + 、CO3 2- 、HCO3 - VO3 - The purpose of passing CO2 into the upper layer of vanadium precipitation is to lower the pH value of the solution and make the CO3 2- Converted to HCO3 - . Since the solubility of sodium bicarbonate is much smaller than that of sodium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and sodium vanadate, the sodium ions in the solution will crystallize out in the form of sodium bicarbonate, thereby realizing the recovery of sodium salt in the solution. The recovered sodium bicarbonate is returned to the sodium roasting process of step a) as a sodium-forming additive for recycling. Sodium bicarbonate decomposes into sodium carbonate during the high-temperature roasting process, which has the same function as the conversion of vanadium achieved by roasting with sodium carbonate in the existing vanadium slag. The secondary crystallization mother liquor after separating sodium bicarbonate contains a certain amount of ammonium bicarbonate, which is circulated for dissolving the primary crystals composed of sodium bicarbonate and sodium metavanadate and precipitating vanadium, thereby realizing the low-cost recycling of ammonium salts.

[0060] In the method provided by the present invention, in step g), the pH value of the vanadium precipitation upper layer liquid is preferably adjusted to 7.5-8.5 by CO2, specifically 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5.
