Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of adsorption materials technology, specifically to anion exchange resins, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, among various precious metal extraction technologies (such as gold, tungsten, and molybdenum), the adsorption resin method has become a core direction for replacing traditional processes due to its significant convenience and environmental friendliness: Convenience: The resin can be directly mixed with the leachate for adsorption, requiring no complex equipment modifications and adaptable to both batch and continuous production; the adsorption equilibrium time is short (usually 2-6 hours), much faster than the traditional cyanide method (24-72 hours), and subsequent gold recovery and resin regeneration can be achieved through acid washing, alkali washing, or complexing agent elution, making the operation process simple and easy to integrate with existing gold extraction processes. Environmental friendliness: The entire process does not require the use of highly toxic cyanide, avoiding the risk of soil and water pollution at the source; the resin can be reused, reducing solid waste generation, while avoiding the problem of excessive reagent consumption in the traditional zinc powder replacement method, thus reducing the overall environmental treatment cost.

[0003] However, current precious metal adsorption resin technology still has significant shortcomings: First, the resin framework pore structure design is unreasonable, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency of macroporous resins and insufficient stability of mesoporous resins, leading to the entrapment of gold ions (such as [Au(CN)2)). - First, the diffusion resistance of tungstate and molybdate ions is high, resulting in poor treatment of high-viscosity leachates or fine-particle slurries. Second, the functional groups have weak stability and are easily detached in strong acid-base (e.g., pH < 2 or pH > 12) or high-temperature (e.g., > 60℃) leaching systems, shortening the resin's lifespan. Third, it is ineffective in ultra-low concentration gold solutions (containing Au). 3+ The adsorption efficiency of <1ppm is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of deep recycling of industrial wastewater. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide anion exchange resins, their preparation methods, and applications.

The anion exchange resin prepared using this method exhibits high strength, is not easily broken, and has good stability. Furthermore, its ion exchange capacity is significantly superior to that of traditional grafted resins, demonstrating superior adsorption performance. Even under extreme conditions such as strong acidity (pH 1-2), the resin maintains a high adsorption capacity, demonstrating excellent environmental adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Current precious metal adsorption resin technology still has significant shortcomings: Firstly, the resin framework pore structure design is unreasonable, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency of macroporous resins and insufficient stability of mesoporous resins, leading to the formation of gold complex ions (such as [Au(CN)2)). - First, the diffusion resistance of tungstate ions, molybdate ions, etc., is high, resulting in poor treatment of high-viscosity leachates or fine-particle slurries. Second, the functional groups have weak stability and are easily detached in strong acid-base (pH < 2 or pH > 12) or high-temperature (> 60℃) leaching systems, shortening the resin's service life. Third, it is ineffective in ultra-low concentration gold solutions (containing Au). 3+ The adsorption efficiency of <1ppm is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of deep recycling of industrial wastewater.

[0048] Furthermore, regarding gold extraction adsorption resins, the core materials in current patents are mainly divided into three categories, but all have limitations: Polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) based resin: the most commonly used framework material. Modified by introducing amine or thiourea groups (e.g., CN202310256789.1, CN202211034567.2), although it has high mechanical strength, its pore structure is simple, resulting in insufficient selectivity for Au in cyanide-free leaching systems (e.g., thiosulfate systems), and it is easily affected by Cu. 2+ Fe 3+ Interference. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based resins: often modified by ammonium oxime modification (e.g., CN202310123456.7, CN202110876543.0), affecting [Au(CN)2]. - While exhibiting high adsorption capacity (up to 300-400 mg / g), the resin suffers from poor acid resistance and is prone to skeletal hydrolysis in leachates with pH < 3. Furthermore, its adsorption capacity significantly decreases after regeneration (single regeneration attenuation rate > 10%). Composite resin materials: Some patents attempt resin-nanoparticle composites (e.g., CN202310567890.3, which combines nano-SiO2 with PS-DVB). Although this improves the adsorption rate, the nanoparticles are prone to agglomeration, leading to pore blockage and insufficient long-term stability. Moreover, the preparation cost is high (30%-50% higher than traditional resins), making large-scale application difficult.

[0049] Based on this, the embodiments of this application at least provide anion exchange resins, their preparation methods, and applications.

[0050] In this application, the term "olefinic tertiary amine" refers to an organic compound molecule whose molecular structure simultaneously contains a carbon-carbon double bond and a tertiary amine group (-NR2, where R is an alkyl group).

[0051] In this application, the term "tertiary amine styrene" refers to a compound molecule in which a tertiary amine group is introduced as a substituent onto the benzene ring of styrene.

[0052] In a first aspect of this application, a method for preparing anion exchange resin is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0053] S100: An oil phase is obtained by mixing olefinic tertiary amines, olefinic tertiary amine styrene, crosslinking agents, and initiators;

[0054] S200: An intermediate is prepared by mixing and dispersing an oil phase and an aqueous phase, heating and polymerizing, and then curing. The aqueous phase includes a dispersant.

[0055] S300: The intermediate is mixed with the quaternizing agent to carry out the quaternization reaction, and anion exchange resin is obtained.

[0056] It should be noted that tertiary amines, as the main functional monomers, provide tertiary amine groups, which provide active sites for subsequent quaternization reactions and directly affect the ion exchange adsorption performance of the resin. Tertiary amines, such as styrene, as comonomers, enhance the rigidity and stability of the resin skeleton through their benzene ring structure. Furthermore, their own tertiary amine groups can also participate in the quaternization reaction, helping to increase the density of functional groups on the resin surface. Crosslinking agents are used to construct the three-dimensional network structure of the resin and control its porosity, mechanical strength, and swelling properties. Initiators are used to initiate the free radical polymerization reaction of alkene monomers. Their dosage affects the polymerization rate and molecular weight distribution, thereby affecting the structural uniformity and performance stability of the resin.

[0057] In some embodiments, in step S100, the mass ratio of the tertiary olefin amine, the tertiary olefin amine styrene, the crosslinking agent, and the initiator is 1:(0.2~0.5):(0.05~0.15):(0.01~0.02). Non-limitingly, the mass ratio of the tertiary olefin amine, the tertiary olefin amine styrene, the crosslinking agent, and the initiator can be, but is not limited to, 1:0.2:0.05:0.01, 1:0.3:0.05:0.01, 1:0.4:0.05:0.01, 1:0.5:0.05:0.01, 1:0.2:0.1:0.01, 1:0.3:0.1:0.01, 1:0.4:0.1:0.01, 1:0.5:0.1:0.01, 1:0.2 ...01:0.01, 1:0.2:0.01, 1:0.01:0.01, 1:0.2:0.01, 1:0.01:0.01, 1:0.01:0.01, 1:0.2:0.01, 1:0.01:0.01, 1:0.01:0.01, 1:0.2:0.01, 1:0.01:0.01, 1 15:0.01, 1:0.3:0.15:0.01, 1:0.4:0.15:0.01, 1:0.5:0.15:0.01, 1:0.2:0.05:0.02, 1:0.5:0.05:0.02, 1:0.2:0.1:0.02, 1:0.5:0.1:0.021, 1:0.2:0.15:0.02, 1:0.5:0.15:0.02, or any two of the above ratios or the range thereof.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the mass ratio range of the aforementioned tertiary amine, tertiary amine styrene, crosslinking agent, and initiator was optimized and determined, which ensures high resin exchange capacity while also taking into account good mechanical strength, pore structure, and mass transfer efficiency. If the proportion of tertiary amine styrene is too low, the resin skeleton will lack rigidity and will easily swell and collapse in a strong acid environment; if the proportion is too high, it may lead to increased phase separation during polymerization, affecting the uniformity of the resin and the distribution of functional groups. If the proportion of crosslinking agent is too low, the resin structure will be loose and the strength insufficient; if it is too high, the pores may be too small and the mass transfer resistance will increase. If the proportion of initiator is too low, the polymerization initiation efficiency will be low, the reaction will be incomplete, and the residual monomer will increase; if the proportion is too high, the initiation rate will be too fast, leading to localized polymerization heat concentration, excessively wide molecular weight distribution, or uneven crosslinking, thereby affecting the performance stability of the resin structure.

[0059] In some embodiments, tertiary amines include, but are not limited to, one or more of dimethylaminoethyl acrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, N,N-diethylaminoethyl acrylate, N,N-dimethylallylamine, and N,N-diethylallylamine.

[0060] In some embodiments, the tertiary amine styrene includes, but is not limited to, one or more of 4-dimethylaminostyrene and 2-dimethylaminostyrene.

[0061] In some embodiments, the crosslinking agent includes, but is not limited to, one or more of divinylbenzene and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate.

[0062] In some embodiments, the initiator includes, but is not limited to, one or more of azobisisobutyronitrile and benzoyl peroxide.

[0063] In some embodiments, in step S200, the aqueous phase further includes a buffer system and inorganic salts.

[0064] In some embodiments, the dispersant may be a conventional dispersant in the art, including but not limited to one or more of polyvinyl alcohol, biogelatin and hydroxyethyl cellulose.

[0065] In some embodiments, the buffer system comprises a mixed solution of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate, wherein the mass ratio of sodium dihydrogen phosphate to disodium hydrogen phosphate is (4~6):1. Further, the mass ratio of sodium dihydrogen phosphate to disodium hydrogen phosphate is 5:1.

[0066] In some implementations, the pH of the buffer system can be 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6.

[0067] In some embodiments, the inorganic salt includes, but is not limited to, one or more of sodium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium chloride.

[0068] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the buffer system, inorganic salt, and dispersant in the aqueous phase is 1:(0.05~0.25):(0.0075~0.02). Non-limitingly, the mass ratio of the buffer system, inorganic salt, and dispersant in the aqueous phase can be, but is not limited to, 1:0.05:0.0075, 1:0.15:0.0075, 1:0.25:0.0075, 1:0.05:0.01, 1:0.15:0.01, 1:0.25:0.01, 1:0.05:0.02, 1:0.15:0.02, 1:0.25:0.02, or any ratio or range between two of the above.

[0069] In some embodiments, in step S200, the dispersion conditions include: a temperature of 40°C to 50°C and a time of 1 hour to 2 hours. Non-limitingly, the dispersion temperature can be, but is not limited to, 40°C, 45°C, or 50°C; the dispersion time can be, but is not limited to, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours.

[0070] In some embodiments, in step S200, the conditions for heating polymerization include: a temperature of 60°C to 75°C and a time of 4h to 16h. Non-limitingly, the heating polymerization temperature can be 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, or 75°C; and the heating polymerization time can be 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h, or 16h.

[0071] In some embodiments, the curing conditions in step S200 include: a temperature of 80°C to 90°C and a time of 1 hour to 3 hours. Non-limitingly, the curing temperature can be 80°C, 85°C, or 90°C; and the curing time can be 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.

[0072] In some embodiments, step S200 further includes purifying the intermediate; further, the purification step includes extraction with an organic solvent, which includes, but is not limited to, one or more of ethanol, methylal and acetone.

[0073] In some embodiments, step S300 includes mixing the intermediate with the quaternizing agent in a polar organic solvent to carry out a quaternization reaction, wherein the mass ratio of the intermediate, the polar organic solvent, and the quaternizing agent is 1:(2~4):(1.2~1.8). Non-limitingly, the mass ratio of the intermediate, the polar organic solvent, and the quaternizing agent can be, but is not limited to, 1:2:1.2, 1:3:1.2, 1:4:1.2, 1:2:1.4, 1:3:1.4, 1:4:1.4, 1:2:1.6, 1:3:1.6, 1:4:1.6, 1:2:1.8, 1:3:1.8, 1:4:1.8, or any ratio or range between two of the above.

[0074] It should be noted that maintaining the mass ratio of intermediate, polar organic solvent, and quaternizing agent within the aforementioned range ensures an efficient and uniform quaternization reaction, guaranteeing sufficient swelling of the resin's internal structure and complete conversion of functional groups, while avoiding imbalance in the reaction system. Insufficient polar organic solvent may lead to incomplete swelling, limiting the reaction to the surface; excessive solvent will reduce reactant concentration and slow the reaction rate. Insufficient quaternizing agent will result in incomplete reaction and low functional group density; excessive agent may trigger unnecessary side reactions or generate excess impurities, affecting resin purity and regeneration performance.

[0075] In some embodiments, the quaternizing agent includes one or more of haloalkanes and dimethyl sulfate; further, the haloalkanes include, but are not limited to, one or more of iodomethane, chloromethane, chloroethane, bromomethane, bromoethane, bromochloromethane, and 1,2-bromochloroethane.

[0076] In some embodiments, a polar organic solvent is used as a reaction medium to swell the intermediate, allowing the quaternizing agent to penetrate into the resin and fully contact the tertiary amine groups, thus promoting a uniform reaction. Further, the polar organic solvent includes, but is not limited to, one or more of acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, and dimethylacetamide.

[0077] In some embodiments, the quaternization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 20°C to 30°C for 5 to 7 hours. Non-limitingly, the quaternization reaction temperature can be 20°C, 25°C, or 30°C, and the time can be 5 hours, 6 hours, or 7 hours. It should be noted that controlling the quaternization reaction parameters within the above range can achieve efficient and uniform quaternization, resulting in anion exchange resins with high adsorption capacity, excellent structural stability, and good regeneration performance.

[0078] In a second aspect of this application, an anion exchange resin is provided, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0079] In a third aspect of this application, the above-described anion exchange resin is provided for the application of adsorbing noble metals from a liquid phase.

[0080] In some implementations, the precious metal includes one or more of gold, tungsten, and molybdenum.

[0081] In some implementations, the pH of the liquid phase is 1 to 2.

[0082] The following are some examples.

[0083] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to examples. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. For experimental methods in the following embodiments where conditions are not specified, reference should be made to the guidelines given in this application, or to experimental manuals or conventional conditions in the art, or to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer, or to experimental methods known in the art.
