AI Technical Summary
In the existing wet phosphoric acid process for removing heavy metals, inorganic sulfides release hydrogen sulfide, posing a safety hazard. Organic sulfides are inefficient and costly, making it difficult to meet the production requirements of high-purity phosphoric acid. Furthermore, there is a lack of selective removal mechanisms for different heavy metal ions. Traditional processes are energy-intensive and difficult to scale up for industrial production.
By combining modifiers and heavy metal removal agents, and adding them before the slurry pump after mixing phosphate rock powder with sulfuric acid, a synergistic effect is achieved, which improves the precipitation efficiency of heavy metals, reduces the amount of reagents used and production costs, and improves the dispersion performance and stability of the heavy metal removal agent.
It significantly improves the removal efficiency of heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, and copper, reduces production costs, simplifies the operation process, facilitates industrial production, and meets the quality requirements of high-purity phosphoric acid.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for removing heavy metals from wet-process phosphoric acid, belonging to the field of phosphoric acid purification technology. Background Technology
[0002] Wet-process phosphoric acid, a core raw material in the phosphate chemical industry, suffers from high concentrations of harmful metals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu) introduced from low- to medium-grade phosphate rock (As 30-200 ppm, Cd 5-50 ppm, Cu 20-150 ppm), severely hindering its high-value application. Existing removal technologies face three major bottlenecks: 1) As(III) is electrically neutral and difficult to capture in strongly acidic environments (pH 1-3); 2) Inorganic sulfide precipitation releases H2S with an arsenic removal rate of <40%; 3) Organic sulfides have low efficiency, high cost, and limited application sites. Meanwhile, the upgrading of standards for food-grade phosphoric acid (As ≤ 0.5 ppm) and high-end phosphate fertilizers (Cd ≤ 10 ppm) urgently necessitates the development of low-cost, one-step deep removal technologies.
[0003] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: 1. Traditional wet phosphoric acid removal of heavy metals mainly relies on the addition of inorganic sulfides and organic sulfides. The use of inorganic sulfides releases hydrogen sulfide, which poses a safety hazard and has a high cost. Although organic sulfides can effectively remove heavy metals, they have the problems of short efficiency and high cost.
[0004] 2. Existing purification methods, such as chemical precipitation, solvent extraction, and crystallization, are insufficient to effectively address the high heavy metal content in wet-process phosphoric acid, and cannot meet the production requirements for high-purity phosphoric acid.
[0005] 3. The current wet-process phosphoric acid process lacks an optimization and adjustment mechanism for key parameters, making it difficult to achieve better heavy metal removal and product quality, thus affecting the purity and quality of phosphoric acid.
[0006] 4. Existing technologies lack selective removal mechanisms for different types of heavy metal ions, making it difficult to achieve efficient extraction and removal of specific heavy metals.
[0007] 5. Traditional wet-process phosphoric acid production has high energy consumption and high production costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the safety hazards that may arise from the release of hydrogen sulfide from inorganic sulfides during the removal of heavy metals in wet phosphoric acid, as well as the low efficiency and high cost of organic sulfides. This invention provides a method for removing heavy metals from wet phosphoric acid. By using a modifier and a heavy metal removal agent in combination, this invention aims to achieve simultaneous and efficient removal of arsenic, cadmium, copper, etc., and overcome the industry problems of poor selectivity and serious secondary pollution in acidic systems.
[0009] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A method for removing heavy metals from wet-process phosphoric acid, characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) After crushing and pre-flotation treatment of phosphate rock, mix it with sulfuric acid at a mass ratio of 1:1.3-1.5 and react at 80-87℃ for 30-90 min to form a slurry; (2) Before the slurry enters the filter, a modifier and a heavy metal removal agent are added to the slurry pump; the modifier is a cosolvent and / or emulsifier, the cosolvent is one or a mixture of two or more of ethanol, propanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, n-octanol, and isooctanol, the emulsifier is one or a mixture of two or more of alkyl aromatic sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates, lignin sulfonates, sulfosuccinates, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers, stearates, phosphate esters, and quaternary ammonium salts; the heavy metal removal agent is one or a mixture of two or more of dialkyl dithiophosphate, dialkyl dithiophosphate ester, dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid, and dialkyl dithiophosphite. (3) The slurry is filtered to obtain dilute phosphoric acid. The dilute phosphoric acid is then settled and concentrated to obtain crude concentrated phosphoric acid. The crude phosphoric acid is then settled, separated and purified to obtain pure phosphoric acid.
[0010] The alkyl aromatic sulfonates are sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium xylenesulfonate, or calcium xylenesulfonate; the alkyl sulfonates are sodium secondary alkyl sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfonate, or α-sulfonyl fatty acid methyl ester; the lignin sulfonates are sodium sulfate lignin sulfonate or sodium lignin sulfonate; the sulfosuccinates are sodium dibutyl sulfosuccinate, sodium diisobutyl sulfosuccinate, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, sodium diisooctyl sulfosuccinate, sodium ditridecyl sulfosuccinate, or polysiloxane sulfosuccinate; the fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers are AEO-3, AEO-7, or TX-10; the stearates are sodium stearate or calcium stearate; the phosphate esters are polyethylene glycol or sodium lauryl phosphate; and the quaternary ammonium salts are didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride or benzalkonium chloride.
[0011] Add 1.5-15 kg of heavy metal removal agent per ton of slurry. The amount of modifier added should be based on a mass ratio of modifier to heavy metal removal agent of 1:20-50.
[0012] The amount of cosolvent added is 0.002-0.03% of the slurry mass, and the amount of emulsifier added is 0.003-0.02%.
[0013] The modifier and heavy metal removal agent react with the slurry at a temperature of 70-80℃ for a time of 5-30 seconds. The modifier and heavy metal removal agent are mixed with the slurry in the conveying pipeline, where the slurry temperature is 70-80℃. The reaction time is limited by the pipeline length and pump flow rate, generally between 5-30 seconds. Existing single-use heavy metal removal aids cannot achieve the removal effect in such a short time.
[0014] The heavy metal residues in the wet-process phosphoric acid obtained in step (3) are Cd≤3ppm, As≤4ppm, and Cu≤0.1ppm.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the method of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the existing technology, most of the removal of arsenic, cadmium, and copper from phosphoric acid is carried out in concentrated acid storage tanks. Because concentrated phosphoric acid has high viscosity, the reagent is difficult to disperse, and the generated complexes need to be further removed, which increases the production cost. 2. This invention significantly improves the precipitation efficiency of arsenic, cadmium, and copper in wet-process phosphoric acid by adding a modifier and a heavy metal removal agent during the process of adding the phosphogypsum slurry into the filter, thereby forming a synergistic effect. This overcomes the problems of high toxicity of inorganic sulfides and long action time, low efficiency, and high cost of heavy metal removal agents in existing methods. 3. This invention employs a synergistic mechanism between modifiers and heavy metal removal agents, which can effectively reduce the amount of reagents used, accelerate the reaction time, significantly reduce production costs, and improve the economy and practicality of wet-process phosphoric acid. 4. The method of the present invention is simple to operate, requires no modification to existing processes and equipment, is easy to industrialize, and has good practical value and prospects for promotion and application; 5. The modifier of the present invention can effectively improve the dispersion performance of heavy metal removal agent in wet phosphoric acid, improve the solubility and stability of heavy metal removal agent, enhance the removal effect of arsenic, cadmium and copper, and solve the problems of easy sedimentation and deactivation of organic sulfides in the existing methods.
