Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of solid waste treatment, in particular to a method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste, ferrous sulfate and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Recovery of iron from solid waste (such as titanium dioxide slag, steel slag, battery black powder and copper smelting slag, etc.) and preparation of ferrous sulfate is an important way to realize resource recycling and environmental protection, and the prepared ferrous sulfate is widely used in water treatment, agricultural fertilizer, battery material and other fields, and its purity directly determines the performance and application safety of downstream products.
[0003] In the process of recovering iron from solid waste to prepare ferrous sulfate, the solid waste often contains transition metal impurities such as nickel, cobalt and manganese in addition to iron elements, for example, nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium in the positive electrode material of waste batteries (battery black powder), and nickel-cobalt-manganese alloy residues in steel slag. In the process of acid leaching iron, nickel ions (Ni 2+ ), cobalt ions (Co 2+ ) and manganese ions (Mn 2+ ) will enter the leaching solution together with iron ions, and will be co-precipitated or crystallized with them in the subsequent preparation of ferrous sulfate. The existing impurity removal treatment for the recovery process cannot completely separate nickel, cobalt and manganese, resulting in excessive impurity ions in the product.
[0004] The above problems result in that the nickel-cobalt-manganese impurity ions in the ferrous sulfate recovered from solid waste cannot be completely removed, and the purity is insufficient, which limits the industrial application of solid waste recovery and preparation of ferrous sulfate. For water treatment, it will affect the flocculation effect and cause secondary pollution, for battery material, it will reduce the electrode stability, and for fertilizer, it will accumulate in the soil and harm crops. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an impurity removal scheme that is suitable for solid waste recovery scenarios and can efficiently and completely remove nickel, cobalt and manganese impurities, to promote the industrial application of solid waste recovery and preparation of ferrous sulfate. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application discloses a method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste, ferrous sulfate and application, to solve the technical problem that nickel-cobalt-manganese impurity ions cannot be completely removed in the preparation of ferrous sulfate from solid waste recovery of iron in the related art.
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste, comprising the following steps: Step S10: providing iron-containing waste, dissolving the iron-containing waste in acid solution to prepare an iron source solution; Step S20: adding a phosphorus source and an oxidizing agent to the iron source solution to oxidize the ferrous iron to ferric iron; adjusting the pH to 1.7 to 2.5 to generate a ferric phosphate-containing precipitate, and after the reaction is completed, performing solid-liquid separation and washing to obtain a ferric phosphate-containing solid phase; Step S30: dissolving the ferric phosphate-containing solid phase obtained in step S20 in a sulfuric acid solution, removing insoluble substances through solid-liquid separation, adjusting the pH to 1.7 to 2.5 to generate a ferric phosphate-containing precipitate, and after the reaction is completed, performing solid-liquid separation and washing to obtain a ferric phosphate-containing solid phase; Step S40: dissolving the ferric phosphate-containing solid phase obtained in step S30 in a sulfuric acid solution, adding a reducing agent to reduce the ferric iron to ferrous iron, and after the reaction is completed, performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a ferrous sulfate-containing liquid phase; Step S50: adjusting the pH of the ferrous sulfate-containing liquid phase obtained in step S40 to 0 to 1, and performing alcohol precipitation, solid-liquid separation, and washing to obtain a ferrous sulfate coarse crystal; Step S60: dissolving the ferrous sulfate coarse crystal in water, adjusting the pH to 5 to 7 under the protection of an inert gas, and after the reaction is completed, performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a ferrous sulfate-containing liquid phase; Step S70: adjusting the pH of the ferrous sulfate-containing liquid phase obtained in step S60 to 1 to 2, and then performing final impurity removal treatment, wherein the final impurity removal treatment is performed at least twice; at least one alcohol precipitation is performed in the at least twice impurity removal operations; and a ferrous sulfate product is obtained.
[0007] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a ferrous sulfate product prepared by the above method.
[0008] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an application of the above ferrous sulfate product in preparing high-purity iron single substance or high-purity iron-containing compound, wherein the iron-containing compound includes any one of ferric oxide, ferric hydroxide, ferrous hydroxide, lithium ferric phosphate, and nano Fe3O4. The high-purity iron single substance refers to an iron single substance with a purity of 3N or higher; and the high-purity iron-containing compound refers to an iron-containing compound with a purity of 3N or higher.
[0009] The technical solutions adopted by the embodiments of the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: ① In step S20, iron and multiple impurities are preliminarily separated by phosphoric acid, so that the iron phosphate solid phase is separated from the dispersed impurity solution, realizing the enrichment and preliminary removal of iron; in step S30, the iron phosphate solid phase is subjected to acid dissolution and reprecipitation recrystallization operation, which is aimed at deep removal of alkali metal impurities that are easily dissolved in acid. Such impurities re-enter the liquid phase in the acid dissolution stage and are difficult to re-embed in the iron phosphate crystal lattice during the reprecipitation process, thereby realizing effective separation; for transition metals and heavy metals such as manganese, cobalt, nickel, and copper, they are stripped from the crystal lattice interstices through the regular growth of iron phosphate crystals during recrystallization, realizing substantial removal; the cooperation of steps S20 and S30 not only guarantees a high yield of iron element, but also greatly reduces the impurity treatment load for subsequent steps.
[0010] ② In step S40, the reduction of iron powder is used to convert trivalent iron to divalent iron (adapting to the valence state requirement of ferrous sulfate); in step S50, the alcohol precipitation effect of alcohol solvent is used to realize the precipitation of ferrous sulfate coarse crystals. First, the phosphorus impurity in the system is greatly reduced, and the intervention of alcohol solvent will weaken the complexing ability of phosphate and metal ions, making it difficult for them to enter the crystal phase with ferrous sulfate, thereby realizing the effective separation of phosphorus and ferrous sulfate coarse crystals; at the same time, the selective interception of alkali metal impurities in the liquid is formed, and by means of the dielectric properties of the alcohol solvent and water mixed system, most of the alkali metal ions remain in the liquid, while the ferrous sulfate is preferentially crystallized and precipitated, which can realize preliminary purification. The core function of step S40 is to complete the valence state conversion of iron to adapt to the product form of ferrous sulfate; step S50 utilizes the alcohol precipitation effect of alcohol solvent to realize the preliminary enrichment of ferrous sulfate crystal phase while efficiently removing a large amount of phosphorus impurities in step S40 system. The two steps cooperatively complete the valence state adjustment, phosphorus impurity removal, and target enrichment, which not only solves the separation problem of phosphorus and iron, but also lays a foundation for high-purity crystal phase for subsequent refining.
[0011] ③In step S60, the stubborn impurities in the ferrous sulfate coarse crystal are deeply removed under weak alkaline conditions. First, the complete removal of phosphorus impurities is achieved. The trace amount of phosphate ions remaining in the weak alkaline environment will form stable precipitates with metal ions in the system, completely separating from the liquid phase. At the same time, high-valence metal impurities such as titanium, vanadium, aluminum, and chromium can be removed. Such impurities are easy to form hydroxide precipitates under weak alkaline conditions, while ferrous sulfate can remain stable in solution in this pH range, achieving precise separation of impurities and target substances. In addition, magnesium, calcium, cobalt, nickel, and copper are deeply purified, reducing their residual amount to a very low level. In step S70, through the final impurity removal treatment (at least one alcohol precipitation removal), the final impurity removal and product purification are completed. First, the residual alkali metal impurities in the system are removed. Alcohol precipitation can trap most of the alkali metal ions, and other impurities can be further removed from the ferrous sulfate lattice, achieving ultra-low residual. At the same time, trace amounts of residual alkaline earth metals and transition metal impurities can be trapped again. Through the screening effect of the crystallization process, the purity of the target product reaches the application standard. Thus, the complete removal of sodium, aluminum, potassium, phosphorus, vanadium, and other types of impurities is achieved. The heavy metal impurities such as cobalt, nickel, and copper are also reduced to below the detection limit, obtaining high-quality ferrous sulfate heptahydrate.
[0012] ④Steps S50 and S70 form a step-by-step impurity removal process that first enriches and removes alkali metals, and then refines and purifies. In step S50, the metastable effect of the alcohol solvent is used to achieve directional enrichment of ferrous sulfate, while most of the easily soluble alkali metal impurities are trapped in the liquid, completing the preliminary removal of alkali metals and the concentration of iron-based products, reducing the impurity load for subsequent refinement. The final purification treatment in step S70 (at least one alcohol precipitation treatment) further reduces the residual amount of alkali metals, ensuring the product crystal form and purity. The two-step process cooperates to not only avoid iron loss caused by single impurity removal, but also solve the technical problem of simultaneous purification of multiple types of impurities, achieving a balance between impurity removal efficiency and product yield. It is the key process synergy to ensure that the final product meets the standards.
[0013] (2) The method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste provided by the embodiment of the present application can prepare ferrous sulfate with a purity of more than 99.99%, which belongs to high-quality ferrous sulfate. The high-quality ferrous sulfate can be used in high-end fields that are extremely sensitive to impurity content. For example, the electronic industry, for preparing high-purity iron-based functional materials such as magnetic materials, ferrite, etc.; as an iron source precursor in the process of semiconductor manufacturing or thin film deposition (the content of metal impurities such as Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, etc. needs to be strictly controlled); for preparing cleaning or etching liquid (as a reducing agent or complexing component in a specific process); new energy material research and development: as a high-purity iron source for synthesizing lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) positive electrode material. Battery-grade iron phosphate has strict requirements for the purity of iron and impurities (especially heavy metals) in raw materials; for preparing iron-based catalysts or electrode materials, used in fuel cells, supercapacitors, etc.; scientific research and analytical chemistry: used as a standard substance or reference reagent for titration analysis (such as the determination of iron content by potassium dichromate method); used as a raw material for preparing calibration solutions in spectral analysis (ICP-MS, AAS, etc.); used as a starting material for synthesizing other high-purity iron compounds (such as high-purity iron oxide, nano Fe3O4, etc.); preparation of special optical / magnetic materials: preparation of high-purity red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide and other pigments, used in high-end coatings, ceramics or optical coatings; used for growing single crystals or preparing magnetic recording materials. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of the present application.
[0015] In the related art, the impurities in ferrous sulfate are mainly divalent ions such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese, which are difficult to remove. Since the pH of the trivalent iron phosphate precipitate is much lower than that of the divalent ions such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese, most of the divalent ion impurities can be removed by the method of oxidizing and precipitating iron phosphate and then washing. However, since the precipitation process is in a solution system with a high impurity concentration, some impurity ions inevitably form interstitial solid solutions and enter the iron phosphate lattice, which cannot be removed by washing. When the iron phosphate is redissolved in pure sulfuric acid to release the impurity ions in the lattice, the divalent impurity ions such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese are almost impossible to form interstitial solid solutions again and thus be removed by washing.
[0016] Therefore, the present application provides a method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste, ferrous sulfate, and application. The method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste, ferrous sulfate, and application provided by the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0017] This application provides a method for preparing ferrous sulfate from iron-containing waste, comprising the following steps: Step S10: Provide iron-containing waste, dissolve the iron-containing waste in acid solution to obtain iron source solution; Step S20: Add phosphorus source to the iron source solution to form a first mixed solution. Heat the first mixed solution to 40°C to 60°C. Add oxidant to the first mixed solution to oxidize ferrous iron to ferric iron. Adjust the pH to 1.7 to 2.5 to generate a precipitate containing ferric phosphate. After the reaction is complete, perform solid-liquid separation and washing to obtain a solid phase containing ferric phosphate. When the first mixed solution contains aluminum, the solid phase obtained in this step also contains aluminum phosphate.
[0018] In this step, the reaction that occurs after adding the oxidant can be represented as (using hydrogen peroxide as an example): 2Fe 2+ +H₂O₂ + 2H₂ + →2Fe 3+ +2H2O.
[0019] Then, by precisely controlling the pH value, ferric phosphate is completely precipitated; the reaction that occurs can be represented as: Fe 3+ +PO4 3- →FePO4↓.
[0020] Step S30: Dissolve the iron phosphate-containing solid phase obtained in step S20 in sulfuric acid solution, remove insoluble matter by solid-liquid separation, adjust pH to 1.7 to 2.5, generate iron phosphate-containing precipitate, and after solid-liquid separation and washing, obtain iron phosphate-containing solid phase; In this step, the solid phase containing ferric phosphate (FePO4) reacts with sulfuric acid to produce water-soluble ferric sulfate and phosphoric acid, preparing for subsequent recrystallization. The reaction formula is as follows: 2FePO4+3H2SO4→Fe2(SO4)3+2H3PO4; In this reaction, sulfuric acid provides H₂. + This disrupts the precipitation equilibrium of ferric phosphate, causing it to dissolve into Fe. 3+ and PO4 3- (PO4) 3- With H + (Combined to form H3PO4), and with trace amounts of intermittent solid solution impurities Ni 2+ Co 2+ Mn 2+ Once all the divalent transition metal ions have entered the solution, the insoluble impurities in the solid phase containing ferric phosphate (metal ion hydroxides with strong hydrolytic ability, such as hydrated titanium dioxide and boehmite) are insoluble in dilute sulfuric acid and can be removed by solid-liquid separation.
[0021] When the pH is adjusted to 1.7 to 2.5, the Fe in the solution... 3+ With PO4 3- (From the ionization of H3PO4) they recombine to form a relatively pure ferric phosphate precipitate, the reaction formula is: Fe2(SO4)3+2H3PO4→2FePO4↓+3H2SO4; The optimal pH range for iron phosphate precipitation is 1.7 to 2.5, at which point Fe... 3+ With PO4 3- The binding ability is strong, and the precipitation is more complete; while Ni previously dissolved in the solution 2+ Co 2+ Mn 2+ At this pH, divalent transition metal ions are unlikely to form precipitates and will remain in the liquid phase, where they can be completely removed by subsequent washing.
[0022] Step S40: Dissolve the solid phase containing ferric phosphate obtained in step S30 in sulfuric acid solution, add a reducing agent to reduce ferric iron to ferrous iron, and after the reaction is completed, separate the solid and liquid phase to obtain the liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate. In this step, the solid phase containing ferric phosphate (FePO4) reacts with sulfuric acid to produce water-soluble ferric sulfate and phosphoric acid, preparing for the subsequent reduction reaction. The reaction formula is as follows: 2FePO4+3H2SO4→Fe2(SO4)3+2H3PO4; In this reaction, sulfuric acid provides H₂. + This disrupts the precipitation equilibrium of ferric phosphate, causing it to completely dissolve into Fe. 3+ and PO4 3- (PO4) 3- With H + (Combined to form H3PO4), ensuring Fe 3+ It can react fully with reducing agents.
[0023] Under stirring conditions at 40-60℃, high-purity iron powder (Fe) reacts with Fe in the solution. 3+ A redox reaction occurs, Fe 3+ Reduced to Fe 2+ High-purity iron powder itself is oxidized into Fe. 2+ Reaction formula: Fe + Fe2(SO4)3 → 3FeSO4; Sulfuric acid provides H₂ in the dissolution reaction. + The reduction reaction does not consume sulfuric acid, and the final solution mainly consists of FeSO4 and H3PO4. Solid-liquid separation can remove trace amounts of unreacted high-purity iron powder (insoluble matter) and obtain a relatively pure liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate.
[0024] Step S50: Adjust the pH of the liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate obtained in step S40 to 0 to 1, and obtain crude ferrous sulfate crystals through alcohol precipitation, solid-liquid separation, and washing. In this step, sulfuric acid is added to the liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate (containing FeSO4 and H3PO4) to adjust the pH to 0 to 1, the purpose of which is to maintain the strong acidity of the system. A strong acidic environment inhibits the ionization of phosphoric acid (avoiding the formation of Fe3(PO4)2 precipitate) and does not react chemically with any components in the solution, ensuring the stable presence of ferrous ions and phosphoric acid in the solution. During alcohol precipitation, because ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) is readily soluble in water but sparingly soluble in alcohol solvents such as ethanol and n-propanol, adding 1.2 to 1.8 times its mass of alcohol solvent to the liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate will reduce the polarity of the liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate and destroy the Fe... 2+ The solvation reaction with water molecules causes a sharp decrease in the solubility of ferrous sulfate, leading to crystallization and precipitation from the solution (forming coarse ferrous sulfate crystals). Meanwhile, phosphoric acid (H3PO4), miscible with alcohol or water, remains dissolved and separates from the ferrous sulfate crystals along with the liquid phase, achieving "phosphorus-iron separation." This significantly reduces phosphorus impurities in the system. The presence of the alcohol solvent weakens the complexation ability of phosphate ions with metal ions, making it difficult for them to enter the crystal phase with ferrous sulfate, thus effectively separating phosphorus from the coarse ferrous sulfate crystals. Simultaneously, it selectively retains alkali metal impurities in the solution. Utilizing the dielectric properties of the alcohol-water mixture, most alkali metal ions remain in the liquid, while ferrous sulfate preferentially crystallizes out, achieving preliminary purification. Furthermore, the alcohol solvent used can be recycled and reused, reducing costs.
[0025] Step S60: Dissolve the crude ferrous sulfate crystals in water, adjust the pH to 5 to 7 under the protection of an inert gas, and after the reaction is completed, separate the solid and liquid phases to obtain a liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate. This step achieves complete removal of phosphorus impurities. The trace amounts of phosphate remaining under a weakly alkaline environment will form a stable precipitate with metal ions in the system, completely detaching from the liquid phase. This process is carried out under an inert gas (such as nitrogen) to prevent Fe... 2+ It is oxidized to Fe by oxygen in the air. 3+ (To prevent the formation of Fe(OH)3 precipitate, which would lead to the loss of ferrous sulfate); when the pH is adjusted to 5 to 7, ferrous sulfate can be completely dissolved, while residual trace heavy metal impurities (such as aluminum, titanium, vanadium) and OH groups released from water dissociation will be lost. - The ferrous sulfate precipitate is formed by the combination of the two substances, which can be removed by solid-liquid separation. Furthermore, it deeply purifies alkaline earth metals such as magnesium and calcium, as well as heavy metals such as cobalt, nickel, and copper, reducing their residual levels to extremely low levels. The resulting liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate is a high-purity ferrous sulfate solution.
[0026] Step S70: Adjust the pH of the liquid phase containing ferrous sulfate obtained in step S60 to 1 to 2, and then perform final impurity removal treatment to obtain the ferrous sulfate product.
[0027] In this step, the final impurity removal and product purification are achieved through a secondary purification process (at least one alcohol precipitation). First, alcohol precipitation is used to specifically remove residual alkali metal impurities from the system. Alcohol precipitation can retain most alkali metal ions, and combined with other purification methods, it can further remove alkali metals from the ferrous sulfate lattice, achieving ultra-low residue. At the same time, it can also retain trace amounts of residual alkaline earth metals and transition metal impurities. Through the sieving effect of the crystallization process, the purity of the target product meets the application standards. Thus, the complete removal of various impurities such as sodium, aluminum, potassium, phosphorus, and vanadium is achieved, and heavy metal impurities such as cobalt, nickel, and copper are reduced to below the detection limit, resulting in high-quality ferrous sulfate heptahydrate.

[0038] In some embodiments, in step S20, when the iron-containing waste contains phosphorus and the molar amount of phosphorus in the iron source solution is greater than or equal to the molar amount of iron after the iron source solution is prepared, there is no need to supplement the phosphorus source. It is understood that when the phosphorus content in the iron-containing waste is high, the iron-containing waste is used as both an iron source and a phosphorus source.
[0039] In some embodiments, in step S30, the solid phase containing ferric phosphate is dissolved in a sulfuric acid solution with a mass percentage concentration of 10% to 30%. In this step, the solid phase containing ferric phosphate can be directly dissolved in the 10% to 30% sulfuric acid solution; alternatively, the solid phase containing ferric phosphate can be first dispersed in water, and then concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass percentage concentration of 98% can be added to completely dissolve the solid phase containing ferric phosphate.

The purity of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O) was calculated to be 99.9892% using formula (1). The total iron yield was calculated to be 85.24% by multiplying the iron yields of each step.
[0129] Comparative Example 2: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in step S70, alcohol precipitation to remove impurities is replaced by evaporation, concentration, cooling, and crystallization to remove impurities. The procedure was the same as in Example 1, yielding 64.44 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O).
[0130] The impurity content in ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O) was detected by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry). The impurity ions were: lithium 0.00 ppm, sodium 208.79 ppm, magnesium 0.79 ppm, aluminum 1.91 ppm, potassium 0.96 ppm, calcium 5.51 ppm, phosphorus 0.00 ppm, titanium 0.07 ppm, vanadium 0.00 ppm, chromium 0.02 ppm, manganese 0.04 ppm, cobalt 0.01 ppm, nickel 0.01 ppm, copper 0.00 ppm, zinc 0.01 ppm, cadmium 0.00 ppm, and lead 0.01 ppm. The purity of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O) was calculated to be 99.9781% using formula (1). The total iron yield was calculated to be 74.05% by multiplying the iron yields of each step.
[0131] Based on the data from Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2: In Example 1: Step S30 achieves deep pre-retention of heavy metals, and this step, in conjunction with step S20, achieves total removal rates of 99.93%, 99.85%, and 99.77% for cobalt, nickel, and manganese, respectively. Iron is lost only slightly during this process, achieving a synergistic balance between impurity removal and yield retention. In step S70, alkali metals are refined through alcohol precipitation and crystallization. This step, along with step S50, also forms a staged synergistic process for sodium removal. Step S50 performs coarse sodium removal (reducing sodium from 1347.79 ppm to 120.86 ppm), and S70 further reduces sodium to 5.50 ppm through final impurity removal (secondary alcohol precipitation), forming a staged synergy of coarse and fine removal. Simultaneously, ferrous sulfate is directionally enriched during alcohol precipitation, avoiding iron loss during crystallization and achieving a synergistic effect between impurity removal and yield retention. In summary, Embodiment 1 of this application achieves high yield, high purity, and low impurities through synergistic impurity removal in each step, possessing industrial application value and promising prospects for industrial application.
[0132] In Comparative Example 1: the purity was only 99.9892%. After omitting S30, the iron yield only decreased slightly by 0.49 percentage points, but the impurities of cobalt, nickel, and manganese increased by hundreds of times (cobalt increased from 0.03 ppm to 10.80 ppm), and aluminum also remained at 2.77 ppm. The product could not meet the impurity control requirements for battery-grade raw materials, and the process lost its core application significance.
[0133] In Comparative Example 2, the overall yield was only 74.05%, which was cost-effective. Although the purification capacity of cobalt, nickel and manganese was slightly improved after replacing alcohol precipitation with crystallization, the sodium impurity increased dramatically to 208.79 ppm (37.96 times that of Example 1), and the iron yield dropped sharply to 74.05% (a decrease of 11.68 percentage points). The raw material loss was too large, and it was not feasible for industrialization.
[0134] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
