Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of brine extraction, and particularly relates to a method and system for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Brine refers to liquid mineral products with a salt content of more than 5%, which is generally formed in the ore mining stage or the process of natural rain washing the ore. The brine contains rich trace metal elements and noble metal elements, and therefore it is of great significance to extract rare earth elements from the brine. Among these rare earth elements, the extraction of strontium is particularly important, because the traditional method for extracting strontium is mainly to use strontium-containing ores as raw materials for leaching. If the brine is used as raw material for extraction, the high-energy consumption operations such as crushing and sintering required in the traditional strontium ore extraction stage can be avoided, thereby reducing the cost of strontium extraction. The brine can be divided into yellow brine and black brine according to the region. The yellow brine has a shallower burial depth than the black brine, and is mainly produced in the Jurassic and Cretaceous strata. It is named yellow brine because it contains yellow suspended matter, and its salt concentration is lower than that of the black brine. Compared with the black brine, the yellow brine has the characteristics of low extraction difficulty and high strontium content when used as raw material for strontium extraction.

[0003] At present, the methods for extracting strontium from brine include solvent extraction, ion exchange, membrane separation and precipitation separation. Among these methods, the precipitation separation method is widely used because of its low precipitant and short processing flow. However, the yellow brine contains a large amount of calcium and a small amount of barium. Since calcium, barium and strontium belong to the same group, it will increase the difficulty of strontium extraction. The current precipitation separation method cannot meet the demand of high-purity strontium extraction. SUMMARY

[0021] Figure 1 The following is a schematic flow chart of a method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine provided in an embodiment of the present application; like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine, wherein the high-calcium brine contains calcium, magnesium, barium and strontium, and the method comprises: S1. Using an alkaline complex agent to perform a first precipitation separation on the high-calcium brine to remove magnesium, part of the calcium and part of the barium in the high-calcium brine to obtain a separated precipitate containing calcium, barium and strontium; S2. The separated precipitate containing calcium, barium and strontium is dissolved and diluted sequentially using an acid solvent to obtain a dissolving solution; S3. The solution is hot filtered using a first sodium hydroxide to remove calcium from the solution to obtain a first filtrate containing barium and strontium; S4. The first filtrate containing barium and strontium is subjected to a second precipitation separation using sodium sulfate to remove barium from the first filtrate to obtain a second filtrate containing strontium; S5. The second filtrate containing strontium is subjected to a third precipitation separation using a composite additive to obtain a strontium carbonate product; Wherein, the composite additive comprises first sodium carbonate, urea and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

[0022] It should be noted that the first sedimentation separation, the second sedimentation separation and the third sedimentation separation are all carried out by combining a sedimentation tank and a filter to separate the solid phase precipitate and the liquid phase material.

[0023] It should be noted that the third precipitation separation can be carried out under conditions where the pH is above 10.

[0024] It should be noted that the high-calcium brine may contain iron and ferrous ions in addition to calcium, magnesium, barium and strontium.

[0025] It should be noted that the acid solvent may be hydrochloric acid.

[0026] It should be noted that the method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine provided in the examples of this application is based on the traditional precipitation separation method, with the addition of a composite additive. Through the synergistic effect of the composite additive (sodium carbonate + urea + EDTA), highly selective precipitation of strontium is achieved in the final precipitation step, significantly improving the purity of strontium carbonate. The specific mechanism is as follows: 1. Triple synergistic mechanism of composite additives: (1) Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid: selective complexation of residual impurity ions: Action target: preferentially complex residual Ca 2+ 、Ba 2+(especially trace amounts of calcium which are difficult to completely remove); Chemical principle: The order of complex stability between ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and metal ions is: Fe 3+ >Al 3+ >Ca 2+ >Ba 2+ >Sr 2+. 1) Key point: Ca 2+ The complexing ability of Sr is significantly stronger than that of 2+ , EDTA preferentially locks residual calcium; Ba 2+ Although its complexing ability is weaker than that of Sr 2+ , but high concentration of EDTA can still inhibit its precipitation; 2) Results: Prevents co-precipitation of CaCO3 / BaCO3 and SrCO3, reducing impurity inclusion; (2) Urea: homogeneous precipitation regulates crystal growth; 1) Mechanism of action: Urea can slowly hydrolyze under heating conditions to form ammonium ions and carbonate ions; 2) Advantage: The hydrolysis process of urea can slowly release CO3 2- → Maintain low supersaturation → avoid localized nucleation; Uniform nucleation → formation of SrCO3 crystals with uniform particle size → reduction of impurity adsorption; Dense crystallization → reduces the inclusion of impurities by crystal defects; (3) Sodium carbonate: provides the main precipitant and assists urea in supplementing CO3 2- The source of strontium to ensure complete precipitation; High pH environment: Enhanced EDTA for Ca 2+ / Ba 2+ The chelating ability of EDTA is the highest when pH>10.

[0027] 2. Collaborative impurity removal chain with the previous process: The role of composite additives is based on efficient impurity removal at the front end: (1) First precipitation (alkaline complex): remove most of the Mg 2+ (Producing Mg(OH)2↓) and some Ca 2+ / Ba 2+ , reducing the burden of impurity removal in the subsequent third precipitation separation; (2) Hot filtration to remove calcium (sodium hydroxide): Calcium is selectively precipitated by taking advantage of the fact that the solubility of Ca(OH)2 at high temperature is lower than that of Sr(OH)2; The remaining trace amounts of calcium become the main target of EDTA removal; (3) Sodium sulfate to remove barium: BaSO4 has very low solubility. When sodium sulfate is added, barium is precipitated first → ensuring that the residual barium content is less than 1ppm.

[0028] 3. Quantitative effect of purity improvement: Capture of residual Ca by EDTA complexation 2+ / Ba 2+ , avoid CaCO3 / BaCO3 mixed crystals; Through urea homogeneous precipitation, dense SrCO3 single crystals are generated to reduce the surface adsorption and lattice defect inclusion of SrCO3; Through the first precipitation separation, hot filtration and other front-end cascade impurity removal, most of the magnesium, calcium and barium can be removed, reducing the impurity load of the terminal precipitation.

[0029] In summary, the present invention provides a method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine, which adopts the dual strategy of "step-by-step deep impurity removal + complexation homogeneous precipitation": (1) The front-end process gradually removes major impurities such as Mg / Ca / Ba; (2) The terminal composite additive uses EDTA to selectively lock calcium, urea to regulate crystallization kinetics, and sodium carbonate to provide a precipitation environment to achieve: 1) Deep isolation of impurity ions; 2) High crystallinity SrCO3 single-phase precipitation.

[0030] This method can break through the purity bottleneck of traditional precipitation separation methods and meet the requirements for the use of high-purity strontium compounds.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the amount n1 of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and the amount n2 of the strontium in the first filtrate satisfy: n1:n2=(0.15 to 0.25):1; and / or The amount n3 of urea, the amount n4 of the first sodium carbonate, and the amount n2 of strontium in the first filtrate satisfy: n3:n4:n2=(3.0 to 3.5):(1.2 to 1.5):1.

[0032] In these embodiments, the molar ratio of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to the first filtrate is (0.15 to 0.25):1, which ensures that there is sufficient ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in the first filtrate. The ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid can preferentially complex the residual calcium and barium, facilitating the removal of calcium, barium and strontium. In addition, the molar ratio of urea, sodium carbonate and strontium in the first filtrate is (3.0 to 3.5): (1.2 to 1.5):1, which ensures that there is sufficient urea and sodium carbonate in the first filtrate. The urea can regulate the crystal growth of strontium carbonate by homogeneous precipitation to improve the purity of the strontium carbonate crystals. At the same time, the sodium carbonate can assist the urea in replenishing CO3. 2- source to ensure complete strontium precipitation.

[0033] The amount n1 of EDTA can be 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24 or 0.25.

[0090] Related experiments and effect data: 1. For each stage in Example 1, the precipitation data were statistically analyzed: (1) Separation effect of the first precipitation separation: Using 15 mol / L sodium hydroxide as the precipitation reagent, the precipitation effect of 100 mL of high calcium brine was calculated. The results are as follows: Figure 4 This shows that controlling the amount of sodium hydroxide added to about 5 mL has a good precipitation effect (the precipitation rates of iron and magnesium are close to 100%, while the majority of calcium precipitation is 87.75%).

[0091] (2) Separation effect of the first precipitation separation in the second stage: 1.5 mol / L sodium carbonate was used as the precipitation reagent. Based on the amount determined in the above step (1), the precipitation effect of the brine filtrate obtained after precipitation of 100 mL of high calcium brine was calculated. The results are as follows: Figure 5 This indicates that controlling the amount of sodium carbonate added to about 5 mL has a good precipitation effect (21.01% of calcium and barium are separated, while 95.42% of strontium is retained).

[0092] (3) Separation effect of hot filtration: The hot filtration temperature of comparative example 4 was compared with that of example 1. 15 mol / L sodium hydroxide was used as the hot filtration reagent. The precipitation effect of the first filtrate treated under the above optimal conditions was statistically analyzed. The results are as follows: Figure 6 This shows that the hot filtration at around 90°C and the amount of sodium hydroxide added controlled at around 1.6mL has a good precipitation effect (most of the calcium is precipitated, and the precipitation rate of calcium is 96.69%).

[0096] 2. The strontium carbonate products obtained in each embodiment and comparative example were collected respectively, and their purity and extraction rate were statistically analyzed. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0097] Table 2 Purity and extraction rate data of strontium carbonate products in various examples and comparative examples

[0098] As can be seen from Table 1, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine. This method adopts the dual strategy of "step-by-step deep impurity removal + complex homogeneous precipitation" and the synergistic effect of composite additives (sodium carbonate + urea + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) to achieve highly selective precipitation of strontium in the final precipitation step, significantly improving the purity of strontium carbonate to more than 90%.

[0099] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 directly uses sodium carbonate as a composite additive. Although the extraction rate of its strontium carbonate product is less affected, its product purity is low and it is difficult to meet the purity requirements of subsequent use.

[0100] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 does not use ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which makes it difficult to selectively complex the residual impurity ions in the third precipitation separation stage, resulting in lower purity and extraction rate of the final product.

[0101] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 does not use urea, which makes it difficult to fully carry out the third precipitation separation using sodium carbonate as the main precipitant, and the purity of the strontium carbonate product is also affected.

[0102] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 4 uses room temperature as hot filtration, which results in the presence of more calcium ion impurities in the strontium carbonate product, greatly affecting the purity and extraction rate of the strontium carbonate product.

[0103] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 5 does not perform the second precipitation separation, which results in the presence of more barium ion impurities in the strontium carbonate product, greatly affecting the purity of the strontium carbonate product and partially affecting its extraction rate.

[0104] In summary, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine. This method is based on the dual strategy of "step-by-step deep impurity removal + complex homogeneous precipitation". Through the synergistic effect of composite additives (sodium carbonate + urea + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), the purity of strontium carbonate is greatly improved, and the extraction rate of the strontium carbonate product is effectively improved.

[0105] In addition, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine. This method can extract a high-purity strontium carbonate product from yellow brine with high calcium, high barium and high strontium content at a relatively low cost, and can also achieve graded recovery of calcium and barium, which is beneficial to the continuous treatment of yellow brine and does not affect the subsequent salt production process of the yellow brine.

[0106] In addition, the embodiment of the present application provides a system for extracting strontium from high-calcium brine. The system has a simple overall structure and a convenient operation process, which is conducive to the large-scale production of yellow brine.

[0107] The foregoing is merely a detailed description of the present invention, intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
