Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a pyrite and cobalt ore smelting method, in particular to a method for recovering valuable metals based on pyrite and high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore double ore intensified leaching, belonging to the technical field of mineral processing and metallurgy. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional cobalt ore processing technology generally relies on sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas or coke as a reducing agent, which has significant environmental and process defects. Although the sulfur dioxide reduction method can partially reduce high-valence metals (such as Co 3+ , Mn 4+ ), but its strong corrosion leads to a 30%~50% reduction in equipment life, and the SO2 emission limit in the tail gas is strict (usually <50ppm), with high processing cost; the coke high-temperature reduction method needs to operate above 800℃, with energy consumption of 200~300kWh per ton of ore, carbon emissions increasing by more than 40%, and ash impurities (such as silicon and aluminum) mixed into the slag, reducing the purity of the leaching solution and increasing the difficulty of subsequent separation.
[0003] The direct acid leaching process has very low extraction efficiency for valuable metals in cobalt ore that has not been pretreated, because high-valence oxides (MnO2, Co3O4) are difficult to dissolve in dilute acid, and the leaching rate of cobalt and manganese is generally less than 20%, and the leaching rate of copper is less than 15%. Existing reduction leaching can effectively improve the leaching rate of metals such as cobalt and manganese, for example, Chinese patent application (publication number: CN1401799A) discloses using pyrite as a reducing agent to leach valuable elements Co, Ni, Mn, Cu in cobalt ore, with leaching rates of Co 92~95%, Mn 95~96%, and Ni 55~60%, which effectively improves the leaching rate of valuable metals, but does not achieve separation and recovery of metal ions. Chinese patent application (publication number: CN102021331A) discloses that high-manganese cobalt ore is treated by reduction leaching, preliminary purification, manganese-cobalt separation, and extraction separation to obtain manganese carbonate, copper sulfate, nickel carbonate, and cobalt chloride or cobalt sulfate products, but the process flow is very complex, the efficiency is low, the reagent cost is high, and it is not conducive to industrial production. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the cobalt ore processing process in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for recovering valuable metals based on the synergistic leaching of pyrite and high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore, which can enhance the leaching of cobalt, manganese, copper and other valuable metals in cobalt ore under mild conditions based on the synergistic leaching of pyrite and high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore, and on this basis, a combined process of Lix984 extraction, sodium jarosite method for removing iron and Versatic 10 extraction for separating cobalt is adopted to realize the efficient separation and recovery of copper, cobalt, manganese and other valuable metals in turn, and the interference of impurity metal ions can be effectively avoided. The method has a short process flow, low reagent consumption cost, realizes the resource utilization of high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore, and has the advantages of short process flow and low reagent consumption cost.
[0005] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the present application provides a method for recovering valuable metals based on the synergistic leaching of pyrite and high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore, which comprises the following steps:
[0006] (1) mixing cobalt ore powder and high-manganese low-cobalt pyrite powder and leaching with sulfuric acid solution to obtain a leaching solution containing cobalt, manganese, copper and iron;
[0007] (2) recovering copper from the leaching solution containing cobalt, manganese, copper and iron by using Lix984 extraction system through extraction and stripping to obtain a raffinate containing cobalt, manganese and iron;
[0008] (3) removing iron from the raffinate containing cobalt, manganese and iron by using sodium jarosite method to obtain an iron-removed solution containing cobalt and manganese;
[0009] (4) recovering cobalt from the iron-removed solution containing cobalt and manganese by using Versatic 10 extraction system through extraction and stripping to obtain a raffinate containing manganese.
[0010] The present application is based on the characteristics of low cobalt grade of high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore and the difficulty of dissolving high-valence oxides (Co3O4, MnO2) contained therein in dilute acid, which is the main reason for the low leaching rate of cobalt and manganese therein. The present application uses a synergistic leaching method of pyrite and high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore, which can promote the efficient reduction leaching of high-valence cobalt and manganese (Co3O4, MnO2) in high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore under relatively mild conditions by using pyrite as a reducing agent. The obtained leaching solution mainly contains valuable metal ions such as Co 2+ , Mn 2 + , Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ . The efficient separation of valuable metal ions such as Co 2+ , Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ by using a short process and low cost method is one of the important innovations of the present application, and the efficient separation of valuable metal ions such as Co 2+Compared to other metal ions, it affects the removal of Fe by the sodium ferrous sulfate process. 3+ The main metal ions, in this invention, are extracted and separated using the Lix984 extraction system. 2+ The Lix984 extraction system can achieve Cu extraction. 2+ Highly efficient recycling while reducing CO 2+ Mn 2+ The loss, based on this, the reduction leaching process uses a sulfuric acid leaching system, and almost all the iron in the leachate is in the form of Fe. 3+ It exists in the form of sodium ferric sulfate for the removal of Fe. 3+ Provides favorable conditions, while the sodium ferrous sulfate process for Fe 3+ Thorough and selective removal, avoiding Co 2+ Mn 2+ The losses ultimately affected Co. 2+ With Mn 2+ For the separation of Co, this invention employs the Versatic 10 extraction system, which is effective for the extraction of Co. 2+ The extraction selectivity is good, Co 2+ With Mn 2+ High separation coefficient, capable of achieving Co 2+ With Mn 2+ Highly efficient separation and recovery. In summary, this invention employs a combined process of Lix984 extraction for copper separation, sodium ferrous sulfate for iron removal, and Versatic10 extraction for cobalt separation, enabling highly efficient separation and recovery of valuable metals such as copper, iron, cobalt, and manganese.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the high-manganese, low-cobalt cobalt ore powder to the pyrite powder is 100:5~20. If the amount of pyrite is too low (<5%), the high-valent cobalt and manganese in the high-manganese, low-cobalt cobalt ore will not be sufficiently reduced and leached. If the amount of pyrite is too high (>20%), excessive iron impurities will be introduced, increasing the burden on subsequent iron removal and increasing sulfuric acid consumption by more than 15%. The mass ratio of the high-manganese, low-cobalt cobalt ore powder to the pyrite powder is further preferably 100:10~15.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the high-manganese, low-cobalt cobalt ore is an oxidizing mineral with a cobalt grade of 0.3% to 0.5% and a manganese grade of 10% to 15%. The main phases of the high-manganese, low-cobalt cobalt ore include pyrolusite, kaolinite, hematite, and chlorite.
[0013] As a preferred scheme, the leaching conditions are: the concentration of sulfuric acid solution is 20-50 g / L, the solid-liquid ratio of leaching solution is 2-4 L:1 kg, the stirring rate is 200-300 r / min, the leaching temperature is 50-90 DEG C, and the leaching time is 3-5 hours. Under the preferred leaching conditions, the efficient leaching of valuable metals in the high-manganese and low-cobalt cobalt ore powder can be ensured. The concentration of sulfuric acid solution is further preferably 35-45 g / L. The leaching temperature is further preferably 75-85 DEG C. The solid-liquid ratio of leaching solution is further preferably 3-4 L:1 kg. Under the optimized conditions, the cobalt leaching rate is greater than or equal to 95.47%, the manganese leaching rate is greater than or equal to 79.11%, and the copper leaching rate is greater than or equal to 84.32%.
[0014] As a preferred scheme, in step (2), the extraction is 2-4 stage countercurrent extraction, the phase ratio O / A is 1:2-2:1, the mass concentration of Lix984 extractant in the organic phase is 5-20%, the contact time of each extraction stage is 5-10 min, and the extraction pH is controlled in the range of 1-2. The "phase ratio" referred to in the present application refers to the phase volume ratio. Sulfonated kerosene is used as a diluent in the organic phase. Under the preferred extraction conditions, especially when the pH is controlled in the range of 1-2, the selective extraction effect of Lix984 extractant on Cu 2+ can be improved, and the loss of Co 2+ and Mn 2+ metal ions is reduced. The pH adjustment generally uses a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1 mol / L.
[0015] As a preferred scheme, in step (2), the stripping stage is 1-2 stages, the stripping solution is a 1.0-2.0 mol / L sulfuric acid solution, and the phase ratio O / A is 1:1-3:1.
[0016] Under the preferred conditions, the Lix984 extraction-sulfuric acid stripping process adopted in the present application has a copper recovery rate of greater than or equal to 99.68%.
[0017] As a preferred scheme, the process of removing iron by the jarosite method is: adding jarosite seed crystals to the cobalt-, manganese-, and iron-containing raffinate, adjusting the pH to 2.0-2.5, and reacting at 50-90 DEG C for 0.5-2 hours. The jarosite method has good selectivity for removing Fe 3+ and is thorough in removing Fe 3+ . Under the preferred conditions, the removal rate of iron is greater than or equal to 98%.
[0018] As a more preferred scheme, the addition amount of the jarosite seed crystals in the cobalt-, manganese-, and iron-containing raffinate is 0.5wt.%-1.0wt.%. By introducing an appropriate amount of jarosite seed crystals, the crystallization of Fe 3+ in the form of jarosite can be accelerated.
[0019] As a preferred scheme, in step (4), the extraction is 2-4 stage countercurrent extraction, the extraction phase ratio O / A is 1:2-2:1, the mass concentration of Versatic 10 extractant in the organic phase is 5-20%, the extraction contact time of each stage is 5-10 min, and the extraction pH is controlled in the range of 5-6. The organic phase uses sulfonated kerosene as a diluent. The pH adjustment generally uses a 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution. The Versatic 10 extractant does not need to be saponified. Under the preferred extraction conditions, especially when the pH is controlled in the range of 5-6, the selectivity of the Versatic 10 extractant to Co 2+ can be effectively improved, while the extraction of the Versatic 10 extractant to Mn 2+ is inhibited, thereby greatly improving the cobalt-manganese separation coefficient β (Co / Mn). The pH adjustment generally uses a 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution.
[0020] As a preferred scheme, in step (4), the stripping stage is 1-2 stages, the stripping solution is a 0.5-1.5 mol / L sulfuric acid solution, and the stripping phase ratio O / A is 1:1-1:3.
[0021] Under the preferred conditions, the Versatic 10 extraction-sulfuric acid stripping process adopted by the present application has a cobalt recovery rate of ≥99.55% and good cobalt-manganese separation effect.
[0022] The high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore powder of the present application is obtained by wet ball milling, screening and drying of high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore raw ore. The ball milling is performed to a particle size of about 2 mm, and then the ore slurry is screened using a 200 mesh screen. The undersize is dried to obtain the high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore powder.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] (1) The technical scheme of the present application uses pyrite to cooperatively reduce and leach high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore, which can achieve efficient leaching of high-valence metals (Co3O4, MnO2) in high-manganese low-cobalt cobalt ore under mild conditions, avoids the use of traditional sulfur dioxide reducing agents, completely eliminates the risk of sulfur pollution, saves the roasting process to reduce carbon emissions, and can use dilute acid leaching with an optimized sulfuric acid concentration of 40 g / L (100 g / L is required in the traditional process), thereby reducing acid mist emission and waste liquid treatment pressure.
[0025] (2) The technical scheme of the present application has a high leaching rate of valuable metals in high-manganese and low-cobalt cobalt ore, such as a cobalt leaching rate of ≥95% (a traditional process <80%), a manganese leaching rate of ≥78%, and a copper leaching rate of ≥84%; and the combination process of Lix984 extraction separation of copper, iron removal by jarosite method, and Versatic 10 extraction separation of cobalt has a good metal separation effect, a high recovery rate, a copper recovery rate of up to 99%, a cobalt recovery rate of ≥99%, and an impurity iron removal rate of >98%.

[0067] Effect: Fe removal rate 98.8%; total loss rate of Co and Mn < 0.5%.
[0068] Step 7 refers to Example 1.
[0069] Overall recovery rate: Cu 99.71%, Co 99.52%, Fe removal rate 98.8%.
[0070] Comparative Example 1
[0071] The only difference compared with Example 1 is that steps 5 and 6 are replaced, i.e. first perform step 6 of the jarosite process to remove iron, and then perform step 5 of the copper extraction. The other steps refer to Example 1.
[0072] Problem:
[0073] During the jarosite process to remove iron, Cu 2+ co-precipitates with Fe 3+ , and the copper loss rate is as high as 18.3%.
[0074] During the copper extraction process, a small amount of iron (Fe < 0.1 g / L) remains in the raffinate, which interferes with cobalt extraction, and the cobalt recovery rate drops to 91.7%.
[0075] Comparative Example 2
[0076] The only difference compared with Example 1 is that first perform step 7 of the cobalt extraction, and then perform step 5 of the copper extraction and step 6 of the jarosite process to remove iron in sequence. The other steps refer to Example 1.
[0077] Problem:
[0078] Initial pH conflict: Versatic 10 requires weak acidity (pH ≥ 5) to separate cobalt from manganese, but the leaching solution has a pH of about 0.8, which needs to be adjusted to 5.5 (consumes NaOH 12.5 kg / ton of ore).
[0079] After adjusting the pH, Fe 3+ hydrolyzes and precipitates, clogging the extraction tank, and the cobalt recovery rate is only 89.4%.
[0080] Comparative Example 3
[0081] The only difference compared with Example 1 is that in step 2, the reduction mixture is mixed with a mass ratio of 100:25 of cobalt ore powder and pyrite powder (i.e. the mass of pyrite is 25% of the mass of cobalt ore powder). The other steps refer to Example 1.
[0082] Problem:
[0083] The addition amount of pyrite powder is too high, and the excess pyrite powder induces the encapsulation and co-precipitation of cobalt by iron and sulfur precipitates, as well as the secondary precipitation of cobalt sulfide, resulting in a decrease in cobalt leaching rate to 79.8%. The Co leaching rate is reduced to 79.8%, the Mn leaching rate is reduced to 69.2%, the Fe leaching rate is 99.3%, and the Fe 3+ concentration in the leaching solution reaches 12.7 g / L, and contains divalent iron ions, which is not conducive to the subsequent iron removal process.
[0084] Comparative Example 4
[0085] The only difference compared with Example 1 is that the reduction mixture in Step 2: cobalt ore powder and pyrite powder are mixed in a mass ratio of 100:3 (i.e. the mass of pyrite is 3% of the mass of cobalt ore powder). Other steps refer to Example 1.
[0086] Problem:
[0087] Due to insufficient reducing agent, high-valence manganese and cobalt are not fully reduced, and the Co leaching rate is reduced to 83.2%, lower than 96.2% in Example 1.
[0088] Comparative Example 5
[0089] The only difference compared with Example 1 is that the cobalt extraction in Step 7 (three-stage countercurrent extraction):
[0090] Organic phase: 10% Versatic 10 + 90% sulfonated kerosene.
[0091] The pH is adjusted to 2.5 using 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, the extraction phase ratio O / A = 1:1, and the contact time is 10 min / stage.
[0092] Stripping: 1.0 mol / L H2SO4, O / A = 1:2, 1-stage stripping.
[0093] Problem:
[0094] Effect: The Co recovery rate is 72.4%, and the cobalt-manganese separation coefficient β (Co / Mn) is only 8.5. The purity of the manganese raffinate Mn 2+ is 89.7%, and the cobalt content is 0.83 g / L. Under the condition that Versatic 10 is not saponified, the cobalt recovery rate is only 72.4% (separation coefficient β = 8.5) at pH = 2.5, proving that Versatic 10 is the key to realizing cobalt-manganese separation by controlling the pH at around 5.5 without saponification.
