Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ammonium metavanadate purification technology, and more specifically, to a method for purifying ammonium metavanadate with zero wastewater discharge. Background Technology
[0002] Vanadium, as an important transition metal element, occupies an irreplaceable strategic position in modern industrial systems due to its abundant valence states (+2, +3, +4, +5), excellent electrochemical activity, and catalytic performance. Its compounds are widely used in iron and steel metallurgy (as alloying additives to improve strength and toughness), the chemical industry (as catalysts in sulfuric acid production, flue gas denitrification, etc.), the new energy field (as active material in the electrolyte of all-vanadium redox flow batteries), and emerging functional materials (such as optical materials and precursors for superconducting materials). Ammonium metavanadate is the most crucial and universal intermediate compound connecting primary vanadium resources (such as crude products extracted from vanadium-titanium magnetite, coal shale, or spent catalysts) with the aforementioned high-end application end products. High-purity vanadium pentoxide ( The preparation of vanadium battery electrolytes (≥99.9%) is usually based on the thermal decomposition of high-purity ammonium metavanadate; the synthesis of vanadium battery electrolytes (such as vanadium oxysulfate solution) also depends on high-purity vanadium sources to ensure long-term stability and efficiency.
[0003] However, vanadium in nature or in primary industrial products is always accompanied by various impurities. Industrial-grade ammonium metavanadate obtained through the traditional "roasting-leaching-precipitation" process typically has a purity of only 95% to 98%, and its impurity profile is complex, mainly including alkali metal and alkaline earth metal ions such as potassium (…). ),sodium( ),calcium( ),magnesium( Transition metal ions: such as iron ( ),chromium( ),manganese( Non-metallic oxygen-containing anions: such as phosphate (…). ), arsenate ( ), silicate ( Or in its polymeric colloidal form (existing), sulfate ( Others include molybdenum (Mo) and aluminum (Al).
[0004] The presence of these impurities, even in minute quantities, can have a catastrophic impact on the performance of the final material. For example, in all-vanadium redox flow batteries, impurity ions (especially...) , , , Impurities can significantly alter the ionic strength and conductivity of the electrolyte, competitively cross ion exchange membranes, leading to decreased coulombic efficiency, accelerated capacity decay, and even precipitation that clogs flow channels. In catalysis, certain poisons (such as As and P) can irreversibly occupy the active sites of catalysts, causing catalyst deactivation. Therefore, developing high-purification technologies that can deeply, economically, and environmentally remove these impurities, especially those with chemical behaviors similar to vanadium, is crucial for transforming vanadium resources from commodities to high-tech materials, possessing significant scientific and industrial value.
[0005] For a long time, the industrial purification of ammonium metavanadate has mainly relied on traditional methods based on the principle of chemical precipitation, such as the alkali dissolution-ammonium salt precipitation method. Although these processes are mature and have a large processing capacity, their inherent defects are fully exposed when pursuing ultra-high purity of 99.5% or even electronic grade (99.99%), which are mainly reflected in: (1) The paradox of "introduction-removal": The strong alkali (NaOH / KOH) introduced to dissolve the raw materials becomes difficult to completely remove from the product. The source of impurities has fallen into a dilemma of "introducing new impurities in order to purify".
[0006] (2) High environmental cost: The precipitation process generates a large amount of high salt ( , High ammonia nitrogen ( Wastewater is difficult and costly to treat, leaving a heavy environmental footprint and running counter to increasingly stringent environmental regulations worldwide.
[0007] (3) Low resource utilization: Due to the “common ion effect”, the mother liquor after precipitation cannot be directly reused to dissolve raw materials, resulting in a limited recovery rate of vanadium (usually <95%) and the consumption of a large amount of fresh water, which does not conform to the principle of circular economy.
[0008] These bottlenecks not only restrict the upward mobility of my country's vanadium products in the high-end value chain, but also place enormous environmental and cost pressures on related industries. Therefore, this invention provides a zero-wastewater discharge method for purifying ammonium metavanadate. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a zero-wastewater purification method for ammonium metavanadate, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems.
[0010] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a method for purifying ammonium metavanadate with zero wastewater discharge, comprising the following steps: S1. Grind the crude ammonium metavanadate, dissolve it in hot water, add a co-solvent, and simultaneously emit ultrasound into the solid-liquid mixture to obtain an ammonium metavanadate solution after dissolution. S2. Keep the temperature of the ammonium metavanadate solution at 60-80℃. Under rapid stirring, first add a weak acidic impurity remover, control the pH to 5-6.5, and react for 1-5 minutes. Then adjust to slow stirring, add a weak alkaline impurity remover, control the pH to 7-8.5, and react for 8-20 minutes. Finally, stop stirring, let stand, filter, and obtain a deeply purified ammonium metavanadate solution. S3. Under rapid stirring conditions, the deeply purified and impurity-removed ammonium metavanadate solution is cooled to 53-58℃. At this time, the stirring speed is adjusted to medium speed, a crystallization promoter is added, and the reaction is kept at this temperature for 40-90 minutes to promote the crystallization and precipitation of ammonium metavanadate. Then, the temperature is cooled to 35-40℃ and the reaction is kept at this temperature for 20-40 minutes to promote the crystal growth of ammonium metavanadate. Finally, high-purity ammonium metavanadate crystals and low-concentration ammonium metavanadate mother liquor are obtained by centrifugation and filtration. S4. Wash and dry the high-purity ammonium metavanadate crystals to obtain the high-purity ammonium metavanadate product; S5. Heat the low-concentration ammonium metavanadate mother liquor, add the powder of crude ammonium metavanadate after grinding, add a co-solvent, and simultaneously emit ultrasound into the solid-liquid mixture. After dissolution, a high-concentration ammonium metavanadate solution is obtained for the second time. S6. Repeat steps S2-S5 to achieve purification of ammonium metavanadate with zero wastewater discharge.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that, in step S1, the co-solvent is glycerol or polyethylene glycol.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: in step S1, the hot water temperature is 70-90℃; and in step S5, the heating temperature is 70-90℃.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that, in step S1, the mass ratio of ammonium metavanadate to hot water is 1:(10-15).
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that, in steps S2 and S3, the stirring speed of the rapid stirring is 100-300 rpm; the stirring speed of the medium-speed stirring is 60-100 rpm; and the stirring speed of the low-speed stirring is 20-60 rpm.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that, in steps S1 and S5, the frequency of the ultrasonic wave is 25-40 kHz.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that, in steps S1 and S5, the crude ammonium metavanadate is ground to 150-200 mesh.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that, in step S2, the weakly alkaline impurity remover is one or more of magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, sodium aluminate, and calcium hydroxide.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that, in step S2, the weakly acidic impurity remover is one or more of polyaluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, magnesium chloride, and magnesium sulfate.
[0019] The present invention is further configured such that, in step S3, the crystallization promoter is ammonium citrate.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that, in step S2, the settling time is 30-90 minutes.
[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Innovation in process concept and system design (1) With “zero wastewater discharge” as the primary goal, this invention constructs a complete mother liquor recycling-feeding regeneration system. The low-concentration mother liquor after centrifugation is not discharged but directly used as the dissolving medium for the next batch. The concentration is restored by adding crude raw materials, thus achieving 100% recycling of water resources and residual vanadium resources.
[0022] (2) This invention differs from the “dead knot” of traditional precipitation method mother liquor that cannot be reused due to salt accumulation, and also from the problem of impurity accumulation in simple recrystallization mother liquor. This patent defines “wastewater” as a process medium in essence through the concept of “forced circulation + synchronous purification and regeneration”, and realizes the complete internal circulation of the production system.
[0023] 2. Innovation in process enhancement and coupling techniques (1) This invention enhances the dissolution technology through the synergistic effect of "ultrasonic cavitation-co-solvent". The ultrasonic cavitation effect is introduced into the dissolution stage to form a physical-chemical synergy with the chemical co-solvent. The micro-jets and local high temperature and pressure generated by ultrasound can effectively break particles and enhance mass transfer. Especially for fine particles after grinding, it can significantly improve the dissolution rate and final concentration, which solves the bottleneck of low solubility and slow dissolution inherent in hot water method, and provides a high concentration starting point for high-efficiency circulation.
[0024] (2) This invention employs a smart segmented pH gradient removal technology of "acid first, then alkali," designing a refined two-stage pH control process of "weak acid removal → weak alkali removal," and matching it with a stirring sequence of "fast stirring → slow stirring → settling." The acidic stage (pH 5-6.5) is completed quickly with rapid stirring, aiming to selectively precipitate or complex specific metallic impurities (such as iron and aluminum) that are more easily removed under weak acidity. The alkaline stage (pH 7-8.5) switches to slow stirring and extends the reaction time, aiming to remove anionic impurities such as silicon, phosphorus, and arsenic, and to make the previously formed flocs denser. The settling stage promotes the full growth and sedimentation of the flocs. This segmented strategy avoids the limitations of degrading all impurities under a single pH condition, achieving sequential, selective, and deep removal of complex impurity profiles. Simultaneously, by matching the stirring program, it optimizes reaction kinetics and solid-liquid separation performance.
[0025] 3. Innovation in crystallization process control (1) The present invention uses a temperature-controlled graded crystallization technology induced by a "crystallization promoter". In the crystallization stage, instead of using the traditional external ammonium salt or seed crystal, a crystallization promoter is introduced. The crystallization promoter changes the crystal interface energy at the microscopic level, reduces the nucleation barrier, and induces the formation of more regular and easier-to-filter crystals. The precipitation rate of ammonium metavanadate is >85% (the cooling temperature can be controlled at 35-40℃). In contrast, the precipitation rate of ammonium metavanadate that is directly cooled without adding a crystallization promoter is generally <45%, and the temperature needs to be lowered to below 25℃, which is not conducive to industrial production.
[0026] (2) The present invention uses a two-stage precise cooling process (53-58℃ heat preservation for crystallization → 35-40℃ heat preservation for growth). The staged cooling first creates a supersaturation suitable for large-scale crystallization, and then provides conditions for slow crystal growth, thereby ensuring both high precipitation rate and high crystal quality (reducing impurity encapsulation and improving particle size uniformity).
[0027] (3) The modular and continuous design of “dissolution-removal-crystallization-circulation” makes the process easy to achieve automated control and transition to continuous production mode. Each cycle is fixed, which facilitates production management and quality monitoring. Attached Figure Description
