Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical uranium extraction technology, and in particular to a metallo-oxime modified iron / titanium bimetallic doped carbon electrode, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear energy is a clean, efficient, and green energy source, and its development is conducive to promoting the transformation of the energy structure. Uranium is the main fuel for the nuclear energy industry, and the uranium content in seawater is about 1,000 times the total reserves of uranium mines on land, which is expected to provide abundant raw materials for the nuclear energy industry.

[0003] Currently, adsorption is the mainstream technology for uranium extraction from seawater. However, due to the low concentration of uranium in seawater, numerous competing ions, and severe biofouling, adsorption-based uranium extraction suffers from technical bottlenecks such as low efficiency and slow rate. Electrochemical uranium extraction technology can utilize an electric field to accelerate the migration and enrichment of uranium acyl ions in seawater towards electrode materials, and further convert uranium acyl ions into solid sediments through electrochemical reactions, facilitating product collection and purification. However, current electrochemical seawater uranium extraction technology relies on high operating voltages above -3V, leading to high energy consumption and costs, and easily triggering side reactions. The main reasons are: 1) a lack of high-performance electrode materials, requiring uranium deposition to overcome high reaction potential energy; and 2) low mass transfer efficiency in the reaction system, making it difficult for uranium acyl ions to contact the electrode surface. Furthermore, seawater contains a large amount of Na+. + It readily reacts with uranium in the form of Na x U y O z The co-deposition of uranium forms affects the purity of uranium products.

[0037] Application Example 2 (1) Using the iron / titanium bimetallic doped carbon electrode modified with amine oxime prepared in Example 1 as the cathode and a platinum sheet as the anode, the cathode 6 is fixed on the fixing clamp 5 of the through-type electrolytic cell, and the anode is placed in the anode chamber 4 of the through-type electrolytic cell to complete the assembly. (2) After the seawater is settled and filtered, the pH is not adjusted.

On the other hand, seawater has a naturally alkaline pH of 7.8, with a relatively high concentration of OH-. - It can promote the formation of Na2O (UO3·H2O); conversely, when pH=6, H + Furthermore, it can suppress the formation of Na₂O (UO₃·H₂O). For these two reasons, using the conditions in Application Example 1 can prevent Na… + The co-deposition process results in a purer uranium product.

[0041] According to the formula, the uranium extraction rate in Application Example 1 was 90%, and the uranium extraction rate in Application Example 2 was 75%. Combining the final extraction rate and... Figure 3 XRD analysis of the product shows that the oxime-modified iron / titanium bimetallic doped carbon electrode provided by this invention, when used as the cathode for electrochemical seawater uranium extraction, requires only an ultra-low voltage of -0.9V to increase the uranium extraction rate to 90% under the premise of using a through-hole electrolyzer, which greatly improves the uranium extraction efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
