Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of resource recycling and chemical metallurgy, specifically a method for recovering valuable components from petrochemical waste. Background Technology
[0002] Petrochemical waste residue is a waste product generated during petroleum processing (such as catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming). Its composition is complex, mainly consisting of carbonaceous components (coke deposits, small amounts of hydrocarbons), catalyst residues (containing metallic elements such as molybdenum, vanadium, nickel, iron, and aluminum), and solid impurities. Improper disposal of this waste residue can not only cause serious soil and water pollution but also lead to a double waste of carbonaceous resources and valuable metals, violating the sustainable development concept of the metallurgical and chemical industries. Therefore, the resource recovery of petrochemical waste residue is of significant practical importance.
[0003] Currently, various recycling technologies have been developed in the industry for petrochemical waste containing molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel, but all have significant drawbacks: 1. Oxidative roasting method: This method removes carbonaceous components from the waste residue through high-temperature oxidative roasting (most of which are burned into carbon dioxide, with only low-value utilization), followed by sodium roasting and wet leaching to recover molybdenum and vanadium, and finally acid leaching to recover nickel. However, during roasting, molybdenum is easily lost as molybdenum trioxide, and after roasting, molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel easily form complex oxides, resulting in low subsequent leaching efficiency; at the same time, the flue gas generated by roasting causes secondary pollution. 2. Pyrometallurgical smelting method: As disclosed in Chinese patent CN117758069A, this method uses pyrometallurgical smelting to convert organic and inorganic impurities in the waste residue into glass slag, forming an alloy of molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel, followed by wet recovery of the metals in the alloy. However, this method has extremely low utilization of carbonaceous resources, and the resulting alloy has high hardness, making subsequent metal separation difficult and hindering the improvement of recovery rates. 3. Oxygen-Pressure Acid Leaching: As disclosed in Chinese Patent CN101713029A, this method uses oxygen-pressure acid leaching to first leach nickel and cobalt, and then recovers molybdenum and vanadium from the leaching residue. However, in this process, valuable metals are easily dispersed in different systems and are often carried over to each other, resulting in the purity of the final product (such as molybdenum salts, vanadium salts, and nickel salts) failing to meet industrial requirements. 4. Roasting-Alkali Leaching-Acid Leaching: As disclosed in Chinese Patents CN108018422A and CN119082501A, although stepwise leaching improves metal separation, it still relies on oxidative roasting pretreatment. This results in problems such as waste of carbonaceous resources, molybdenum volatilization loss, and difficulties in leaching composite oxides. The highest recovery rates for molybdenum and nickel are only 95% and 88%, respectively, and product purity still needs improvement.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies cannot simultaneously solve the four core problems of "waste of carbonaceous resources, environmental pollution, low recovery rate of valuable metals, and low product purity." There is an urgent need for an environmentally friendly, resource-efficient, and product-quality-compliant method for recycling petrochemical waste. Summary of the Invention

[0116] Results data: Molybdenum leaching rate was 99.71% and vanadium leaching rate was 99.69% during alkaline leaching of sulfide products; nickel leaching rate was 99.67% during acid leaching of alkaline leaching residue; the overall molybdenum recovery rate was 99.20%, vanadium recovery rate was 99.10%, and nickel recovery rate was 99.13%; there was no loss of carbonaceous acid leaching residue.
[0117] The above embodiments demonstrate that the method of the present invention can stably achieve high-value utilization of carbonaceous resources in petrochemical waste residue and efficient recovery of molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel. The product purity and metal recovery rate are significantly better than those of the prior art, and it has good prospects for industrial application.
[0118] This invention abandons the traditional oxidative roasting process. Step (A) involves high-pressure homogenization to break the metal encapsulation by the carbonaceous components. Step (D) utilizes the recovered carbonaceous acid leaching residue for the preparation of high-value carbon materials. The entire process involves no loss of carbonaceous components and no combustion pollution; the process emits no flue gas, meeting green environmental protection requirements. Furthermore, step (B) involves an anaerobic sulfidation reaction that breaks down the composite structure of molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel oxides, converting molybdenum and vanadium into easily leached sulfides, while nickel remains in the solid phase. Combined with step (C) oxidative alkaline leaching and step (D) acid leaching, the overall recovery rate of molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel is significantly improved. Simultaneously, through targeted purification processes (step E: centrifugal washing for impurity removal; step F: ultrasonic washing for impurity removal; step G: calcium salt precipitation for impurity removal), the final ammonium metavanadate, molybdic acid, and nickel sulfate are of high purity and can be directly used as industrial-grade raw materials, solving the problem of low purity in existing technologies.
