Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of niobium-tantalite purification, and in particular to a method for preparing high-purity tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide from niobium-tantalite. Background Art
[0002] The chemical formula of niobium-tantalite can be expressed as (Fe, Mn)(Nb, Ta)2O6, in which niobium and tantalum coexist, generally Nb2O5 accounts for 35-45wt%, Ta2O5 accounts for 3-7wt%, and it also contains 0.2-0.5wt% of antimony. The properties of antimony are similar to those of niobium and tantalum. Conventional wet smelting processes are difficult to remove a small amount of antimony. A small amount of antimony will have a significant adverse effect on the performance of capacitors. In addition, the presence of Fe will also affect the performance of capacitors and needs to be removed as much as possible. In order to remove a small amount of antimony (Sb) in niobium-tantalite, patent CN109097572A discloses a method for removing impurity antimony in tantalum-niobium wet smelting, which is to add a water-soluble chemical chelating agent to an aqueous solution of fluoroniobic acid or fluorotantalic acid containing antimony impurity metal ions and mix them thoroughly; then, ammonia is passed through the mixed solution obtained in step (1) to neutralize it, producing niobium hydroxide or tantalum hydroxide precipitate, and the precipitate is filtered and washed with pure warm water to remove the antimony impurity metal ions coexisting therein. The complexing agent is one of 2,3-dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid, 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), or a mixture of the two. Although this patented technology can basically remove antimony, the yield of niobium / tantalum will decrease. Patent CN102358918A discloses a method for removing antimony from ultra-high-purity tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide, which is achieved by adding D-296 macroporous anion exchange resin to remove antimony from the extraction system. It requires a large amount of solvent, the resin adsorption capacity is limited, and the macroporous anion exchange resin is difficult to recycle after use, and does not have an industrial production prospect.
[0003] In existing technology, niobium-tantalite is primarily used to produce high-purity niobium pentoxide, while the lower-content tantalum is discarded, resulting in a waste of resources. Examples include those described in CN117185350A, CN110563038A, CN108640153A, and CN103408070A. Tantalum is much more expensive than niobium, and tantalum capacitors offer superior performance compared to niobium capacitors in high-end applications such as military and aerospace. Patents CN114540630A, CN118854085A, CN117127030A, and CN115703644A, respectively, report separation of tantalum from niobium and tantalum using a reverse niobium extraction / strip extraction process from raw materials such as ore powder, waste acid, and wastewater containing both niobium and tantalum. However, the use of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) as the extraction agent generally results in low niobium / tantalum separation efficiency, making it difficult to achieve a balanced yield and purity of both niobium and tantalum. If high-purity tantalum pentoxide can be efficiently extracted and prepared from niobium-tantalite ore, and subsequently reduced to prepare capacitor-grade high-purity tantalum powder, it will have important significance and commercial value. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to directly use niobium-tantalite to prepare niobium-tantalum capacitors with excellent performance, the present invention provides a method for preparing high-purity tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide from niobium-tantalite.
[0005] The present invention first adds ammonium fluoride and ammonium sulfate to help decompose the mineral and lower the roasting temperature. The niobium-tantalite is then treated with a sulfuric acid-hydrofluoric acid mixture to fully dissolve the niobium-tantalum oxides. Niobium and tantalum are then extracted using a specific solvent system to separate them. Finally, high-purity niobium pentoxide and tantalum pentoxide are produced by adding ammonia for precipitation and calcination. Specifically, the present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions.
[0006] A method for preparing high-purity tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide from niobium-tantalite comprises the following steps:
[0007] (S1) crushing niobium-tantalite, adding ammonium fluoride and ammonium persulfate, ball-milling, and then heating and calcining to obtain a calcined product;
[0008] (S2) dissolving and leaching the calcined product with a mixed acid of hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid under high temperature and high pressure conditions under an inert atmosphere to obtain a leachate;
[0009] (S3) subjecting the leachate to multi-stage extraction with a first extractant to obtain a first organic phase and a first aqueous phase, wherein the first extractant comprises methyl isobutyl ketone, an alcoholamine compound, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic thiol compound, a trialkylphosphine oxide, and a C6-C10 alcohol; subjecting the first organic phase to multi-stage stripping with 3-5 mol / L sulfuric acid as a first stripping agent to obtain a tantalum-rich aqueous solution;
[0010] (S4) adding hydrofluoric acid to the first aqueous phase to adjust the hydrofluoric acid concentration to 5-7 mol / L, performing multi-stage extraction with a second extractant to obtain a second organic phase and a second aqueous phase, wherein the second extractant includes methyl isobutyl ketone, an amine compound, a fluorinated sulfonyl ionic liquid, a phosphate ester, and a C6-C10 alcohol; and performing multi-stage stripping of the second organic phase with 0.2-0.5 mol / L sulfuric acid as a second stripping agent to obtain a niobium-rich aqueous solution;
[0011] (S5) The tantalum-rich aqueous solution and the niobium-rich aqueous solution are precipitated with ammonia water, respectively. The precipitates are washed, dried, and calcined to obtain niobium pentoxide and tantalum pentoxide as products, respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, in step (S1), the niobium content of the columbite-tantalite is 35-50% by weight as niobium pentoxide, and the tantalum content is 3-7% by weight as tantalum pentoxide. The mass ratio of the columbite-tantalite, ammonium fluoride, and ammonium persulfate is 100:3-5:2-3. Adding ammonium fluoride and ammonium persulfate during the columbite-tantalite roasting process aids mineral decomposition, lowers the roasting temperature, and increases the subsequent acid leaching yield, thereby improving the yield of niobium and tantalum. The inventor's previous patent used ammonium fluoride and ammonium sulfate as roasting aids. Experimental results indicate that using ammonium persulfate instead of ammonium sulfate yields better results.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (S1), the ball milling conditions are a ball-to-material ratio of 15-30:1, a rotation speed of 200-400 rpm, and a ball milling time of 0.5-1 hour. Ball milling makes the materials more evenly mixed, which is more conducive to the effect of the roasting aid and improves the leaching rate. The temperature is raised to 750-900°C and maintained for 4-10 hours, with a heating rate of 1-20°C / min, preferably 5-10°C / min.
[0014] Furthermore, in step (S2), the inert atmosphere is at least one of nitrogen and argon; the molar ratio of hydrofluoric acid to sulfuric acid in the mixed acid is 1:5-8, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 1-2 mol / L, preferably 1-1.5 mol / L; the solid-liquid ratio of the calcined product to the mixed acid is 1 kg:4-6 L; and the high temperature and high pressure are 160-220°C and 1.5-3 MPa. Increasing the pressure facilitates the leaching of tantalum and niobium. Increasing the pressure promotes relative movement between the solid and liquid phases during the leaching process. High pressure is achieved by filling the autoclave with an inert gas.
[0015] Furthermore, in step (S3), the volume ratio of the leachate to the first extractant is 1:1-1.5, and the multi-stage extraction is 10-15 levels; the volume ratio of the first organic phase to the stripping agent is 1:1-1.5, and the multi-stage stripping is 5-10 levels.
[0016] Furthermore, in step (S3), the alcoholamine compound is selected from at least one of tributanolamine and trihexanolamine; the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic thione compound is selected from at least one of 2-indolinethione, pyridine-4(1H)-thione, pyrimidine-4(3H)-thione, thiazole-2(3H)-thione, tetrahydropyrrole-2-thione, 4-methylthiazole-2-thione, 3-methyl-2-thiazolidinethione, and 3-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinethione; the trialkylphosphine oxide is selected from at least one of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide, tri-n-hexylphosphine oxide, and Cyanex 923; and the C6-10 alcohol is selected from at least one of n-octanol, n-hexanol, n-decanol, and isodecyl alcohol.
[0017] Tantalum's fluorine complexes are more likely to enter the organic phase with organic complexes at low hydrofluoric acid concentrations. Therefore, from a cost-saving perspective, it is more economical to extract and strip tantalum first (in the process flow, operating under low acidity conditions first and then increasing the acidity is easier to implement and less expensive than first increasing the acidity and then reducing it). However, when separating niobium and tantalum in the existing technology, niobium is generally extracted and stripped first. This is because the niobium content in the leachate of niobium-tantalite is relatively high, generally more than 6 times that of tantalum. Extracting tantalum first will cause niobium loss. CN114540630A first extracts and strips tantalum at a low HF concentration, then increases the HF concentration to extract and strip niobium. However, this patent uses the conventional extractant MIBK, and the niobium-tantalum separation coefficient is not high, making it difficult to obtain high-purity niobium and tantalum oxide products, and the loss is relatively serious. The present invention utilizes a specific first extractant, which adds auxiliary extractants, co-extractants, and stabilizers to the conventional extractant MIBK. This significantly improves the niobium / tantalum separation coefficient, enabling tantalum extraction and stripping to be performed first at low HF concentrations, followed by niobium extraction and stripping at high HF concentrations. The inventors have discovered that optimal niobium / tantalum separation can only be achieved when a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic thione is used as the first extractant. For example, 1,3-disulfuric acid-2-thione cannot achieve this effect. This may be because, at low HF concentrations, tantalum typically forms [TaF7] 2- Fluorine-complexed anions require more coordination sites to form stable complexes. Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic thioketones can coordinate simultaneously with both the nitrogen and sulfur atoms, and this chelation effect results in higher selectivity for tantalum. Niobium 1,3-disulfate-2-thione also binds strongly, resulting in decreased selectivity.
[0018] Furthermore, the first extractant is a mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone, alcoholamine compounds, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic thiol compounds, trialkylphosphine oxides, and C6-C10 alcohols in a mass ratio of 40-60:10-15:7-10:4-6:2-3.
[0019] Furthermore, in step (S4), the volume ratio of the first aqueous phase to the second extractant is 1:1-1.5, and the multi-stage extraction is 10-15 stages; the volume ratio of the first organic phase to the stripping agent is 1:1-1.5, and the stripping stages are 5-10 stages. Preferably, in the second extractant, the amine compound is selected from at least one of trioctylamine and trihexylamine; the phosphate ester is selected from at least one of tributyl phosphate, tripentyl phosphate, trihexyl phosphate, and di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate; the C6-C10 alcohol is selected from at least one of n-octanol, n-hexanol, n-decanol, and isodecanol; and the fluorine-free sulfonyl ionic liquid is selected from at least one of the following structural formulas:
[0020]
[0021] Furthermore, the second extractant is a mixed solvent of methyl isobutyl ketone, amine compounds, fluorine-free sulfonyl ionic liquid, tributyl phosphate, di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, and isodecyl alcohol in a mass ratio of 60-80:8-15:5-8:5-8:2-5:2-3.
[0022] Furthermore, in step (S5), ammonia precipitation is performed by adding ammonia to adjust the pH to 10-11, and washing is performed by alternating washing with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water for 3-5 times; calcination is performed at 850-1000° C. for 5-10 hours in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to obtain the product.
[0023] The preparation method of the present invention utilizes existing equipment and, by adding ammonium fluoride and ammonium persulfate, reduces the roasting temperature, reduces the amount of hydrofluoric acid used in subsequent leaching, improves the leaching rate, and improves the yield of tantalum and niobium. Through two extractions and back extractions, tantalum and niobium are extracted respectively using two different extractants, thereby achieving efficient separation of tantalum and niobium. The final products, tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide, have high purity and high yield, are suitable for use as capacitor-grade tantalum powder and niobium powder, and have extremely high economic value. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] (S5) The tantalum-rich aqueous solution and the niobium-rich aqueous solution are respectively adjusted to pH 10 with aqueous ammonia, precipitated, and the precipitates are alternately washed three times with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, dried to constant weight, and calcined at 900° C. for 8 h in an air atmosphere to obtain niobium pentoxide and tantalum pentoxide, respectively.
