The pH of the zinc sulfate solution is adjusted to 1.5-3.5, and a precipitant such as trialkylbismuth, trialkylantimony, trialkyllead, or trialkylvanadium is added. The mass ratio of chlorine to precipitant in the solution is controlled to be 1:1-100. The mixture is then heated to 50-80℃ and reacted for 0.5-2 hours. Solid-liquid separation is then performed to remove the chlorine oxide precipitate.
It improves the efficiency and stability of chlorine removal, and achieves an environmentally friendly and economically feasible treatment solution.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically relating to a method for dechlorination in zinc sulfate solution. Background Technology
[0002] Zinc sulfate, an important raw material for electrolytic zinc production, often contains a certain amount of chlorine impurities in its solution. If this chlorine is introduced directly into the next zinc production process without treatment, it will severely affect product quality. While various methods exist for chlorine removal, they often suffer from low efficiency, high cost, and operational complexity in practical applications. Therefore, developing a method that can solve these technical problems is essential. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for dechlorination in zinc sulfate solution.

Pretreatment: Adjust the pH of the zinc sulfate solution to be treated to 1.5~3.5 to obtain material a; B. Main reaction: Add a precipitant to material a and stir to obtain a dechlorinated zinc sulfate solution; The precipitant is trialkylbismuth, trialkylantimony, trialkyllead, or trialkylvanadium.
[0005] Its technical principle is as follows: Step 1: Pretreatment. Under acidic conditions, the carbon-metal bonds in alkyl metal compounds break, releasing metal ions and alkanes.
[0006] R3M + 3H + → M 3+ + 3RH↑ Step 2: The main reaction, releasing high-valence metal ions (M... 3+ It hydrolyzes and combines with chloride ions to form chloride oxide precipitates.
[0007] M 3+ + H2O + Cl − → MOCI↓ + 2H + The method for dechlorinating zinc sulfate solution described in this invention involves adjusting the pH of the chlorine-containing zinc sulfate solution to 1.5-3.5, adding a precipitant while stirring, controlling the mass ratio of chlorine to the precipitant in the solution to 1:1-100, heating the mixed solution to 50-80°C, reacting for 0.5-2 hours, separating the solid and liquid phases, and filtering to remove the chlorine oxide precipitate, thus completing the removal of chlorine from the zinc sulfate solution. The precipitant can be trialkylbismuth, trialkylantimony, trialkyllead, trialkylvanadium, etc. This invention improves the efficiency and stability of chlorine removal by controlling reaction conditions such as pH, temperature, and the type of precipitant, ultimately achieving an environmentally friendly and economically feasible treatment solution.
