Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-value recycling technology for cemented carbide waste, and in particular to a method for improving the leaching rate of oxidized cemented carbide grinding materials. Background Technology
[0002] As an important secondary source of tungsten resources, cemented carbide scrap has significant recycling value.
[0003] However, existing tungsten leaching processes suffer from multiple technical bottlenecks. In traditional alkaline leaching, Fe and Mn readily co-precipitate with tungsten hydroxides when dealing with high-impurity abrasive materials, resulting in a tungsten leaching rate of only 88%-92%. Although leaching can be enhanced by adding phosphates, the introduction of phosphorus leads to the formation of tungsten phosphate precipitate during subsequent tungsten purification, increasing separation costs. Furthermore, the oxidation-roasting combined with water leaching process requires high-temperature pretreatment above 700℃, resulting in high energy consumption and costs. Moreover, the leaching process largely relies on a single temperature field, leading to long reaction cycles, low production efficiency, high actual costs, and wastewater containing high concentrations of impurity ions after leaching.

Detect the impurity content of the crushed and oxidized cemented carbide grinding material, add an activator and remove iron to obtain pretreated material; S2. The pretreated material is subjected to gradient heating and calcination, followed by water quenching and grinding to obtain the calcined product; S3. Add a leaching agent to the calcined product and adjust the pH value. After gradient aeration, perform microwave and ultrasonic synergistic leaching treatment. After solid-liquid separation, obtain the leachate.
[0019] This application improves the tungsten leaching rate to over 99.5% and the impurity removal rate to over 98% through the synergistic effect of activators, leaching agents and multi-field coupling, solving the problem of tungsten leaching from high-impurity grinding materials and reducing the difficulty of subsequent tungsten purification.
[0020] In some embodiments, in step S1, based on 100wt% of oxidized cemented carbide grinding material; when the impurity Fe2O3+MnO2 < 3wt%, the activator is 5wt%-8wt% sodium carbonate; when 3wt% ≤ impurity Fe2O3+MnO2 ≤ 6wt%, the activator is 5wt%-10wt% sodium carbonate and 2wt%-3wt% calcium oxide; when the impurity Fe2O3+MnO2 > 6wt%, the activator is 8wt%-15wt% sodium carbonate, 3wt%-5wt% calcium oxide and 1wt%-2wt% sodium fluoride.
[0021] In this embodiment, a jaw crusher is used to crush the oxidized cemented carbide grinding material to 10-50 mm. The contents of WO3, Fe2O3, MnO2, and SiO2 in the material are quickly detected by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The activator ratio is dynamically adjusted according to the impurity content. Among them, calcium oxide can fix Si to form calcium silicate precipitate, and sodium fluoride promotes the conversion of Fe and Mn into soluble fluorides. After crushing, the material is subjected to magnetic separation to remove iron (magnetic field strength 12000 Gs) to remove free iron impurities and avoid the formation of iron-tungsten compounds in subsequent roasting.
[0022] In some embodiments, in step S2, the gradient heating calcination process is as follows: heating to 300°C at 5°C / min, and then heating to 400-600°C at 3°C / min.
[0023] In this embodiment, the temperature is increased to 300℃ at 5℃ / min and held for 1 hour to remove adsorbed water and organic impurities from the material; then the temperature is increased to 400-600℃ at 3℃ / min and held for 1-3 hours, with the final temperature depending on the WO3 content.
[0024] In some embodiments, in step S2, when the impurity WO3 > 65 wt%, the temperature is increased to 400-450 ℃ at 3 ℃ / min; when the impurity WO3 ≤ 65 wt%, the temperature is increased to 500-600 ℃ at 3 ℃ / min.
[0025] In this embodiment, the conversion of tungsten into soluble sodium tungstate (Na2WO4) is precisely controlled by programmed temperature rise, while the excessive oxidation of impurity ions is suppressed.
[0026] After calcination, the material is quenched in stages: first, the calcined material is pre-cooled in hot water at 80-90℃ for 30 seconds, and then transferred to a room temperature water quenching tank to avoid excessive temperature difference that could cause the material to clump; after water quenching, it is ground to 200-300 mesh using a planetary ball mill. During the grinding process, 0.5% polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000) is added to prevent fine powder from agglomerating.
[0027] In some embodiments, in step S3, the leaching agent includes 0.5-2 mol / L sodium hydroxide, 0.1-0.3 mol / L sodium persulfate, 0.05-0.2 mol / L sodium citrate, and a targeted additive; the targeted additive is sodium aluminate or sodium sulfate.
[0028] In this embodiment, after analyzing the composition of the roasted product, the composition of the leaching agent is dynamically adjusted using an automatic solution preparation system; the main solution includes 0.5-2 mol / L sodium hydroxide and 0.1-0.3 mol / L sodium persulfate, wherein the concentration of sodium persulfate is determined according to the Fe... 2+ Content adjustment (Fe) 2+ For every 1% increase, the sodium persulfate concentration increases by 0.05 mol / L; sodium citrate is used as a basic additive to complex Fe and Mn ions.

[0030] In this embodiment, sodium aluminate is used to generate sodium aluminosilicate precipitate to avoid co-precipitation of silicon and tungsten; sodium sulfate is used to generate calcium sulfate precipitate.
[0031] In some embodiments, the pH value in step S3 is 12-14.
[0032] In this embodiment, sodium hydroxide is automatically added through an online pH monitoring system to stabilize the pH of the leaching system at 12-14, with a fluctuation range of ≤±0.2.
[0033] In some embodiments, the gradient aeration step is as follows: first, air is introduced at a rate of 1-3 L / min, and then pure oxygen is introduced at a rate of 0.5-1 L / min.
[0034] In this embodiment, air is introduced 3 hours before the reaction at a flow rate of 1-3 L / min. During the air introduction process, according to Fe... 2+ Adjust flow rate based on content, Fe 2+ High content results in high flow rate, making Fe 2+ Oxidized to Fe 3+ In the later stage, pure oxygen is introduced at a flow rate of 0.5-1 L / min, and the dissolved oxygen concentration is controlled to be ≥8 mg / L using an online dissolved oxygen monitor (DO) to promote the decomposition of sodium persulfate and generate sulfate free radicals. SO4 - ), to enhance tungsten dissolution.
[0035] In some embodiments, ultrasound is applied during the microwave radiation interval.
[0036] In some embodiments, the parameters of the microwave are as follows: when the tungsten concentration in the system is <50g / L, 2450MHz microwave radiation is applied for 6 minutes every 25 minutes, with a power of 700-800W; when the tungsten concentration in the system is ≤50g / L and ≤80g / L, 2450MHz microwave radiation is applied for 5 minutes every 30 minutes, with a power of 600-700W; when the tungsten concentration in the system is >80g / L, 2450MHz microwave radiation is applied for 4 minutes every 35 minutes, with a power of 500-600W; the parameters of the ultrasonic are as follows: frequency 20-30kHz, power 300-500W.
[0037] In this embodiment, a variable frequency microwave generator is used to adjust the microwave parameters in real time according to the tungsten concentration in the leachate, so as to avoid excessive microwave radiation that could lead to excessively high local temperatures; while the ultrasonic waves destroy the passivation film on the material surface through the cavitation effect, thereby accelerating the penetration of the leachate.
[0038] In this embodiment, the basic reaction parameters for microwave and ultrasonic synergistic leaching treatment are as follows: solid-liquid ratio 1:5-10 g / mL, adjusted according to the particle size of the material; when the particle size is 200 mesh, the solid-liquid ratio is 1:5-1:7, and when the particle size is 300 mesh, the solid-liquid ratio is 1:8-1:10; the leaching temperature is controlled by a jacketed water bath to maintain a leaching temperature of 80-100℃ with a temperature difference ≤±1℃, and the pressure is atmospheric pressure; the stirring speed is 300-500 r / min, using an anchor-type stirring paddle, and the stirring speed is dynamically adjusted according to the solid-liquid ratio; when the solid-liquid ratio is 1:5, the stirring speed is 500 r / min, and when it is 1:10, the stirring speed is 300 r / min.
[0039] In this embodiment, the leaching process also includes in-situ impurity control: In the initial stage of the reaction (0-2h): sodium citrate preferentially reacts with Fe. 3+ Mn 2+ A stable complex is formed with a stability constant logK > 20 to suppress the formation of hydroxide precipitates; Mid-reaction (2-4h): If the system becomes slightly turbid (turbidity > 50 NTU) by monitoring with an online turbidity meter, 0.02-0.05 mol / L of disodium EDTA will be automatically added to further complex residual impurity ions. Later stage of the reaction (4 hours to completion): Add 0.01-0.03 mol / L sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH of the system to 12.5-13.5, so that excess Ca... 2+ Mg 2+ Carbonate precipitate is generated and removed in real time by a dynamic filtration device with a filter membrane pore size of 0.22μm, thus preventing the adsorption of tungsten ions.
[0040] After leaching, the slurry is pumped to a belt filter at a high temperature of 70-80℃. During the filtration process, the filter cloth is heated by hot air at a temperature of 85-90℃ to prevent sodium tungstate crystals from clogging the filter pores. The filter residue is washed in stages: first, it is washed twice with a 0.1 mol / L dilute sodium hydroxide solution at 80-85℃, and then washed once with hot water at 80℃. The washing liquid and filtrate are combined, and the filter residue is discharged after testing and the tungsten content is <0.5%.
