Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically relating to a method for efficient purification and targeted oxygen suppression and impurity removal of precious antimony alloys. Background Technology

[0002] Antimony is an important metalloid element with unique physical and chemical properties, widely used in flame retardants, alloy manufacturing, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals, playing an indispensable role in modern industry. In flame retardant applications, antimony is primarily used to produce antimony white (antimony trioxide). Currently, the raw materials for antimony white production mainly include lead anode mud, antimony ingots, and other antimony-containing materials. The preparation process generally involves: first, obtaining precious antimony through reduction smelting of antimony-containing materials; then, removing impurities such as arsenic and tellurium through a purification process; and finally, obtaining qualified antimony white products through blowing.

[0003] In the process of removing impurities from precious antimony, traditional methods typically employ alkali addition to remove arsenic and tellurium. However, this process has significant shortcomings: the resulting arsenic-alkali slag has a high antimony content, resulting in low antimony recovery. Simultaneously, tellurium is dispersed and of low grade, failing to achieve effective enrichment. To improve antimony recovery, the material is often repeatedly smelted, leading to the continuous accumulation of arsenic within the system. The lack of effective open-circuit treatment negatively impacts the overall economic efficiency and environmental friendliness of the process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for the efficient purification and targeted oxygen suppression and impurity removal of precious antimony alloys. By introducing a highly efficient arsenic and tellurium removal agent and a composite reducing agent, efficient separation and separate recovery of arsenic, tellurium, and antimony are achieved. This method significantly reduces the antimony content in arsenic-alkali slag while simultaneously enriching tellurium, effectively improving the direct antimony recovery rate and tellurium recovery rate during the preparation of antimony white from precious antimony alloys. It has promising prospects for industrial application and significant promotional value.

[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A method for efficient purification and targeted oxygen suppression and impurity removal of noble antimony alloys includes the following steps:

[0007] S1 After melting the noble antimony alloy, an arsenic and tellurium removal agent is added, and the alloy is smelted at 600~610℃ to obtain a pre-purified alloy melt and arsenic and tellurium slag; the arsenic and tellurium removal agent is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate.

[0008] S2 The pre-purified alloy melt obtained in step S1 is heated to 620~640℃, a reducing agent is added, and arsenic-alkali slag and refined antimony alloy are obtained by smelting; the reducing agent is a mixture of antimony sulfide and sodium hydroxide.

[0009] S3 The arsenic tellurium slag obtained in step S1 and the arsenic alkali slag obtained in step S2 are ball-milled, leached and filtered to obtain filtrate and filter residue;

[0010] S4. The filtrate obtained in step S3 is mixed with sulfuric acid, and after the reaction, neutralization residue and neutralization liquid are obtained.

[0011] Among them, the noble antimony alloy is an alloy obtained from the reduction smelting of lead anode mud in a converter. Its main components are: Cu content 0.3wt%~0.7wt%, Sb content 55wt%~65wt%, Au content 900~1300g / t, Ag content 5wt%~15wt%, Pb content 8wt%~20wt%, Bi content 5wt%~20wt%, As content 3wt%~10wt%, and Te content 0.5wt%~5wt%.

[0012] The reaction mechanism of this invention is as follows:

[0013] This invention first removes most of the arsenic and tellurium from the noble antimony alloy at a relatively low temperature (600~610℃) using an arsenic and tellurium removal agent, causing the arsenic and tellurium slag to float on the surface of the pre-removed noble antimony alloy melt. Then, at a higher temperature (620~640℃), a reducing agent is used for deep arsenic removal, and crucially, the oxidation of metallic antimony is directionally inhibited. This invention achieves deep reduction of antimony and recovery of arsenic and tellurium, avoiding antimony dispersion during the impurity removal process and thus improving the direct antimony recovery rate.

[0014] In step S1, sodium nitrate acts as an oxidant to oxidize arsenic and tellurium in the noble antimony alloy into arsenates and tellurates, which then react with sodium hydroxide to form arsenic-tellurium slag, thereby achieving efficient enrichment of tellurium. The main reaction is as follows:

[0015] 2NaNO3→2NaNO2+O2↑;

[0016] As2O3 + O2 → As2O5;

[0017] As2O5+6NaOH→2Na3AsO4+3H2O;

[0018] Te + O2 → TeO2;

[0019] 2TeO2 + 1 / 2O2 → Te2O5;

[0020] Te2O5+6NaOH→2Na3TeO4+3H2O;

[0021] 3As2O3+3Te+15NaNO3+24NaOH→6Na3AsO4+3Na2TeO4+15NaNO2+12H2O.

[0022] Preferably, in step S1, the melting temperature is 600~610℃.

[0023] Preferably, in step S1, the melting time is 4-5 hours, until the surface alloy turns slightly red, at which point the melting is stopped.

[0024] Preferably, in step S1, the molar ratio of the arsenic removal agent, sodium hydroxide, and sodium nitrate is (250~260):(7~10).

[0025] Preferably, in step S1, the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide in the arsenic and tellurium removal agent to the total amount of arsenic and tellurium in the noble antimony alloy is 1:(1.5~3).

[0026] In step S2, a mixture of antimony sulfide and sodium hydroxide is used as a reducing agent. Antimony sulfide preferentially combines with oxygen, forming a protective layer on the surface of the molten antimony through a chemical reaction. This directionally inhibits the oxidation of the main antimony metal, keeping it within the alloy and preventing it from entering the slag phase. Meanwhile, the impurity arsenic is deeply reduced and removed. The main reactions are as follows:

[0027] 2Sb2S3+9O2→2Sb2O3+6SO2↑;

[0028] Sb₂O₃ + 2NaOH → 2NaSbO₂ + H₂O;

[0029] As2O3+Sb2S3→As2S3+Sb2O3.

[0030] Preferably, in step S2, the melting time is 4-5 hours, until the alloy turns silvery-white.

[0031] Preferably, in step S2, the molar ratio of the reducing agent, antimony sulfide, and sodium hydroxide is (1~4):(82~88).

[0032] Preferably, in step S2, the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide in the reducing agent to the total amount of arsenic in the pre-purified alloy melt is 1:(1~3).

[0033] Preferably, in step S2, the refined antimony alloy is blown to obtain antimony white.

[0034] In step S3, the arsenic-tellurium slag and arsenic-alkali slag are ball-milled to leach arsenic and tellurium from the slag.

[0035] Preferably, in step S3, the ball milling is performed to a particle size of 100-200 mesh; during the leaching process, the liquid-solid mass ratio is (3-4):1, the leaching temperature is 70-80℃, and the leaching time is 30-60 min.

[0036] Preferably, the filter residue obtained in step S3 is returned to the converter for processing to recover valuable metals.

[0037] In step S4, sulfuric acid is used for a neutralization reaction to convert the tellurium-containing compounds in the filtrate into crude tellurium dioxide, i.e., neutralization residue, which is then separated from the arsenic in the neutralization liquid.

[0038] Preferably, in step S4, the sulfuric acid concentration is 8wt%~12wt%.

[0039] Preferably, in step S4, the molar ratio of sulfuric acid to the total amount of tellurium in the filtrate is 1:(1~3), and the reaction time is 0.5~1h.

[0040] Preferably, the neutralized liquid obtained in step S4 is returned to the water treatment system to recover arsenic, and the neutralized residue is used to recover tellurium.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] This invention introduces a highly efficient arsenic and tellurium removal agent and a composite reducing agent during the impurity removal process of precious antimony alloys. On the one hand, it achieves the enrichment and recovery of tellurium, avoiding the problem of low yield caused by the dispersion of tellurium during recovery. On the other hand, it prevents antimony-containing compounds from entering the arsenic-alkali slag, thereby improving the direct recovery rate of antimony. At the same time, this invention has strong applicability to the impurity removal of precious antimony alloys and reduces the number of repeated treatments during the impurity removal process, thus lowering production costs.

[0081] test

[0082] The component content of the arsenic tellurium slag, arsenic alkali slag and crude tellurium dioxide neutralization slag obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was detected, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0085]

[0086] Note: "-" in Table 1 indicates not detected.

[0087] Characterization results from Example 1 show that by adding the arsenic-removing tellurium agent, tellurium is effectively enriched, and the tellurium recovery rate (i.e., the percentage of tellurium content in the neutralized slag to the total tellurium content in the noble antimony alloy) reaches 67.85%. Furthermore, the reducing agent of this invention can deeply remove arsenic from the noble antimony alloy and inhibit antimony removal, reducing the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag to 0.99% of the total antimony content in the noble antimony alloy, thus improving the direct antimony recovery rate. Correspondingly, in Example 2, the tellurium recovery rate is 67.56%, and the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag accounts for 0.89% of the total antimony content in the noble antimony alloy; in Example 3, the tellurium recovery rate is 72.65%, and the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag accounts for 0.90% of the total antimony content in the noble antimony alloy. In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, because only sodium hydroxide was added in steps S1 and S2, the tellurium recovery rate was only 11.2%, and the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag accounted for 6.01% of the antimony content in the precious antimony alloy, increasing the amount of antimony occupied in the arsenic-alkali slag and reducing the direct antimony recovery rate. In Comparative Example 2, because only sodium hydroxide was added in step S1, the tellurium recovery rate was only 21.1%, and the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag accounted for 3.74% of the antimony content in the precious antimony alloy; in Comparative Example 3, because only sodium hydroxide was added in step S2, the tellurium recovery rate was only 20.6%, and the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag accounted for 5.33% of the antimony content in the precious antimony alloy. Therefore, this invention, by adding an arsenic and tellurium removal agent, converts tellurium and arsenic in the precious antimony alloy into oxidized salt slag, significantly improving the enrichment and recovery of tellurium. At the same time, the reducing agent of this invention deeply removes arsenic from the precious antimony alloy and inhibits the removal of antimony, reducing the antimony content in the arsenic-alkali slag and improving the direct antimony recovery rate.
