Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the metallurgical industry, and more particularly to a method for the resource utilization of hydrometallurgical slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore. Background Technology

[0002] Deep-sea mineral resources contain abundant valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, copper, iron, and manganese, making them essential for metal smelting. Among the smelting technologies for deep-sea mineral resource development, sulfuric acid pressure leaching is a promising approach. By treating polymetallic oxide minerals through pressure leaching, valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, and copper can be selectively extracted, while iron and manganese remain in the leaching residue. Hydrometallurgical slag mainly consists of oxides or hydrated oxides, and the residual iron and manganese within it have recovery value, although their content is much lower than that of conventional iron and manganese resources. How to extract and recover iron and manganese from this type of resource is a technical problem that needs to be solved for the further development of deep-sea resources.

[0003] For the treatment of secondary resources of smelting slag mainly composed of iron and manganese oxides, patent document CN118142543A discloses a method for leaching iron and manganese slag using titanium dioxide waste acid. The titanium dioxide waste acid can dissociate elements such as Fe, Mn, and Mg from the iron and manganese slag, and Ca is converted to CaSO4 and separated from the system. The Fe and Mn-containing solution is precipitated with ammonia water to obtain a composite oxide containing Mn and Fe, which can be used to prepare a denitrification catalyst after binding, drying, and calcination. However, the raw material used in this process is high-iron, low-manganese slag. Iron is relatively easy to leach with sulfuric acid, but leaching high-manganese slag is more difficult. In addition, iron and manganese are difficult to separate, and titanium impurities contained in the titanium dioxide waste acid will enter the iron and manganese leaching solution. The leaching solution can be used as a raw material for the composite catalyst, but it cannot produce other products with higher purity. Patent CN117209034A discloses a method for preparing manganese iron oxalate oxide using iron-rich manganese slag as a Cr(VI) removal agent in wastewater. After mixing iron- and manganese-rich slag with sulfuric acid solution to form a slurry, a certain amount of iron powder and oxalic acid are added. After a long period of sedimentation, manganese-iron oxalate composite oxide is formed. This precipitate can be used to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater. However, this process requires a long mixing and sedimentation time, resulting in low reaction efficiency. Furthermore, this method does not achieve the separation and recovery of iron and manganese. The prepared oxide, when used as a wastewater adsorbent, forms new complex smelting slag, creating greater technical difficulties for further recycling. Besides recovering valuable metals, some technical routes employ resource-based methods to prepare low-value-added products for use as building material raw materials in the construction industry. For example, patent document CN105237030A uses manganese-iron slag mixed with phosphate tailings, phosphogypsum, ilmenite slag, cement clinker, additives, etc., to cast-in-place foamed concrete, obtaining concrete blocks or structural layers as building materials. This method consumes a large amount of waste slag resources, but the preparation of building materials requires complex multi-source slag proportioning, limiting the actual amount of slag that can be processed. In addition, it suffers from complex reagents, low added value of the resulting building materials, and low acceptance in related industries.

[0004] Based on existing technologies, how to extract iron and manganese stepwise from low-iron-manganese resources, such as smelting slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore, and prepare high-value products with high purity remains a technical challenge. It is necessary to develop methods with strong separation effect, high recovery efficiency, simple process flow, and higher product purity to solve the technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for the resource utilization of hydrometallurgical slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The product collection process is simple: iron products can be quickly collected through flue gas condensation, and the reaction slag undergoes a simple washing process to retain manganese chloride. The product can then be collected through dissolution and evaporation crystallization. The iron and manganese products have high purity; the volatilization and condensation of the iron products yields high-purity ferric chloride crystals.

The obtained iron and manganese products can be used as raw materials for high-value-added products such as lithium iron phosphate cathode materials, effectively solving the technical challenge of stepwise iron and manganese recovery from polymetallic nodule hydrometallurgical slag. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this application and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope of this application.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process for resource utilization of hydrometallurgical slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore provided in Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0029] First, the solution provided in this application will be explained in more detail as follows:

[0030] The first aspect of this application provides a method for the resource utilization of hydrometallurgical slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore, comprising:

[0031] Provides hydrometallurgical slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore;

[0032] The wet slag from the seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore, carbon monoxide, and chlorine are first mixed and reacted to obtain a reaction slag, and the flue gas generated during the reaction process is collected.

[0033] It should be noted that in this step, the iron and manganese in the oxidized ore hydrometallurgical slag undergo a chlorination reaction to transform into ferric chloride (FeCl3) and manganese chloride (MnCl2). The ferric chloride (FeCl3) escapes from the reactor in gaseous form with the reaction flue gas, while the manganese chloride (MnCl2) remains in the reaction slag in solid form. The flue gas is then condensed and crystallized to obtain ferric chloride.

[0034] The reaction residue was washed with an ether compound, and the washing residue was obtained by solid-liquid separation;

[0035] The washing residue was subjected to water immersion and solid-liquid separation to obtain a manganese chloride solution.

[0036] In some embodiments, the hydrometallurgical slag of the seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore is obtained by high-pressure sulfuric acid leaching of seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore and / or cobalt-rich crust.

[0037] And / or, the iron content in the hydrometallurgical slag of the seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore is 5-15% by mass, the manganese content is 15-40% by mass, and the silicon content is 5-20% by mass;

[0038] Optionally, the iron content in the hydrometallurgical slag of seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore can be any value between 5%, 10%, 15% or 5%-15%, the manganese content can be any value between 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% or 15%-40%, and the silicon content can be any value between 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 5%-20%.

[0039] It should be noted that the composition of the hydrometallurgical slag from the seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore differs from that of conventional manganese-iron ore resources. It has low iron and manganese content and high silicon content. Due to the sulfuric acid pressure leaching process, the slag has a high residual sulfur content. Furthermore, the hydrometallurgical slag is non-magnetic and cannot be separated and enriched for iron and manganese through direct beneficiation or other processes.

[0040] And / or, the average particle size of the hydrometallurgical slag from the seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore is 20-150 μm.

[0041] Optionally, the average particle size of the hydrometallurgical slag from seabed cobalt-manganese oxide ore can be any value between 20μm, 30μm, 60μm, 90μm, 120μm, 150μm, or 20-150μm.

[0042] It should be noted that the beneficial effect of this particle size range is that the residual nickel, cobalt and copper content of the hydrometallurgical slag after the pressure leaching process is very low, and the iron and manganese enrichment is higher, which is conducive to its resource extraction.

[0043] In some embodiments, the chlorine gas accounts for 20%-80% of the total gas volume in the reaction;

[0044] Optionally, chlorine gas accounts for any value between 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 20%-80% of the total gas volume of the reaction.

[0045] It should be noted that the volume percentage of chlorine gas must be limited to the range mentioned in this invention. Within this range, ferric chloride (FeCl3) products can be formed, while ensuring the effective conversion efficiency of the reaction and maximizing the reaction effect.

[0046] And / or, the carbon monoxide accounts for 20%-80% of the total gas volume of the reaction.

[0047] Optionally, carbon monoxide accounts for any value between 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 20%-80% of the total gas volume of the reaction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out at a temperature of 300-600°C for a time of 1-4 hours.

[0049] Optionally, the reaction temperature can be any value between 300℃, 350℃, 400℃, 450℃, 500℃, 550℃, 600℃ or 300-600℃, and the time can be any value between 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h or 1-4h.

[0050] It is important to note that the reaction temperature should be limited to the range mentioned in this invention. Within this range, iron and manganese form different product phases, achieving a separation effect. The higher the temperature, the higher the reaction efficiency, the faster the conversion, and the shorter the time required to achieve the desired reaction effect.

[0051] In some embodiments, the temperature of the condensation and crystallization is 0-30°C;

[0052] Optionally, the temperature for condensation and crystallization can be any value between 0℃, 5℃, 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃, or 0-30℃.

[0053] And / or, the number of stages of condensation crystallization is 2-3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the ether compound includes diethyl ether and / or isopropyl ether.

[0055] Optionally, the reagent can be a mixture of ethers containing one or both of diethyl ether and isopropyl ether.

[0056] It should be noted that the reagents used in this step should be limited to the range of ethers mentioned in this invention. Within this range, the reagents have solubility selectivity and can dissolve impurities other than manganese products, thereby achieving a purification effect and improving the purity of manganese in the water leaching solution in the next step.

[0057] In some embodiments, the water immersion temperature is 0-80℃, the liquid-to-solid ratio is 2-10mL / g, the stirring speed is 100-400rpm, and the time is 10-60min.

[0058] Optionally, the water immersion temperature can be any value between 0℃, 5℃, 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃, 40℃, 50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, or 0-80℃; the liquid-to-solid ratio can be any value between 2 mL / g, 4 mL / g, 6 mL / g, 8 mL / g, 10 mL / g, or 2-10 mL / g; the stirring speed can be any value between 100 rpm, 200 rpm, 300 rpm, 400 rpm, or 100-400 rpm; and the time can be any value between 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 60 min, or 10-60 min.

[0059] In some embodiments, the manganese chloride solution is concentrated, evaporated, and crystallized to obtain manganese chloride crystals.

[0060] In some embodiments, the manganese chloride crystals, the ferric chloride, water, and a phosphorus source are mixed and precipitated to obtain manganese ferric phosphate.

[0061] In some embodiments, the phosphorus source includes one or more of ammonium phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and phosphoric acid.

[0062] The implementation schemes of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are only for illustrating this application and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of this application. Unless otherwise specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply.

Chlorine accounts for 35% of the total gas volume, and the remainder is carbon monoxide. The reaction time is 2 hours. A two-stage condenser is installed at the reactor outlet to condense the flue gas at a condensation temperature of 20°C.

[0096] In this comparative example, the recovery rates of iron and manganese were 30% and 5%, respectively.

[0097] Furthermore, since the iron and manganese products were not separated, additional steps are needed to extract the iron and manganese and purify the products.
