Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rare gallium metal recovery technology, and in particular to an extraction method for separating gallium and aluminum from sulfuric acid leaching solution. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, gallium is an important rare metal, with 90% of metallic gallium originating from aluminum smelting, and the remainder from zinc smelting and coal. Due to their similar properties, aluminum is one of the most critical byproduct metals in the gallium separation process.

[0003] To achieve a high gallium leaching rate, high-concentration sulfuric acid is required for leaching gallium-enriched slag generated during the smelting process. However, aluminum usually enters the leaching solution along with gallium. Therefore, aluminum separation is a key technology in separating gallium-enriched gallium from gallium- and aluminum-containing sulfuric acid leaching solutions. Currently, phosphate ester extractants, including P204, P507, Cyanex 272, and OPAP, are mainly used for extracting and separating gallium from gallium-containing sulfuric acid leaching solutions.

[0004] Although the above extractants can all achieve the separation and enrichment of gallium, the related processes still have many shortcomings: (1) P204, P507 and Cyanex272 need to be extracted in a low acid environment (sulfuric acid concentration less than 10 g / L), and aluminum will be extracted simultaneously during the extraction process. The selectivity for both is poor, and gallium and aluminum are extracted simultaneously during the back-extraction process; (2) OPAP can extract gallium from high-concentration sulfuric acid with extremely high extraction rate. Even if the sulfuric acid concentration reaches 80 g / L, the gallium extraction rate can still reach 90%. However, the aluminum extracted simultaneously cannot be extracted from the supported organic phase by a suitable back-extraction agent, which makes the process difficult to apply in practice.

[0005] In summary, existing processes for selectively extracting and recovering gallium from gallium- and aluminum-containing sulfuric acid leaching solutions cannot effectively separate gallium and aluminum in the solution. These processes suffer from problems such as a narrow selectivity range of the extractant, difficulty in production control, and high aluminum impurity content in the resulting gallium-containing products. These issues significantly increase the difficulty of gallium extraction and recovery, and severely limit the recovery of gallium resources. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems in the existing technology, this invention provides an extraction method for separating gallium and aluminum from sulfuric acid leaching solution. The technical solution is as follows:

[0007] An extraction method for separating gallium and aluminum from a sulfuric acid leaching solution, the method comprising: S1. The sulfuric acid leaching solution containing gallium and aluminum is subjected to liquid-liquid extraction I with a compounded organic phase; S2. The loaded organic phase I obtained from liquid-liquid extraction I in S1 is washed with acid solution to obtain the loaded organic phase II and the washing liquid. The washing liquid is returned to S1 and mixed with sulfuric acid leaching solution as the extraction feed solution. S3. The supported organic phase II obtained in S2 is back-extracted with acid solution to obtain the supported organic phase III and gallium back-extraction solution I. S4. The supported organic phase III obtained by back-extraction I in S3 is back-extracted II with acid solution to obtain aluminum back-extraction solution II; S5. The gallium back-extraction solution I obtained in S3 is passed into a homogeneous dialysis apparatus to obtain a low-acid gallium-containing solution. The free sulfuric acid obtained from dialysis is mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid and recycled into S3. The low-acid gallium-containing solution is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to obtain gallium enrichment. S6. Pass the aluminum back-extraction solution II obtained in S4 into a homogeneous dialysis apparatus to obtain a low-acid aluminum-containing solution. The free sulfuric acid obtained from dialysis is mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid and recycled into S4. The low-acid aluminum-containing solution is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to obtain an aluminum concentrate.

[0008] The organic phase in S1 comprises the following components: 10 vol% to 30 vol% alkyl phosphate extractant, 5 vol% to 20 vol% alcohol modifier, and the balance being kerosene diluent; The alcohol modifier is or Any one of them.

[0009] The alkyl phosphate extractant is composed of 80-90 mol% of monophosphate of formula (11) and 10-20 mol% of diphosphate of formula (12); R1 in formula (11) and formula (12) is one of C8~C15 alkyl groups; Equation (11) Equation (12).

[0010] The gallium- and aluminum-containing sulfuric acid leaching solution in S1 contains 0.1~3 g / L of gallium and 0.1~3 g / L of aluminum. The main impurities include Cu, Zn, and As. The concentration of Cu ions is less than 10 g / L, the concentration of Zn ions is less than 50 g / L, the concentration of As ions is less than 5 g / L, and the concentration of sulfuric acid ranges from 10 to 80 g / L.

[0011] The extraction temperature of liquid-liquid extraction I in S1 is 20-45℃, with a ratio of O / A of 1:1-5:1; the extraction time is 2-15 min.

[0012] The acid solution in S2 is one of sulfuric acid solution, nitric acid solution, hydrochloric acid solution, phosphoric acid solution and oxalic acid solution, with a concentration of 0.1~0.5mol / L, a washing temperature of 20~60℃, a ratio of O:A=1:1~1:8, and a washing time of 2.5~10min.

[0013] The acid solution in S3 is one of sulfuric acid solution, nitric acid solution, hydrochloric acid solution, phosphoric acid solution and oxalic acid solution, with a concentration of 2.0~2.5 mol / L. The back-extraction temperature of back-extraction I is 20~30℃, with a ratio of O / A of 1:1~1:10 and a back-extraction time of 2.5~25 min.

[0014] The acid solution in S4 is one of sulfuric acid solution, nitric acid solution, hydrochloric acid solution, phosphoric acid solution and oxalic acid solution, with a concentration of 3.0~5.0 mol / L. The back-extraction temperature of back-extraction II is 65~95 ℃, with a ratio of O / A = 1:1~1:10. The back-extraction time is 5~25 min.

[0015] The temperature at which sodium hydroxide is added for neutralization in S5 and S6 is 65–95 °C, the pH after neutralization is 3.5–5.5, and the reaction time is 0.5–2 h.

[0016] The above method, through one-step extraction (i.e., liquid-liquid extraction I) and stepwise back-extraction (i.e., back-extraction I and back-extraction II), achieves the extraction, separation, and enrichment of gallium and aluminum from gallium- and aluminum-containing sulfuric acid leachates, respectively. During the extraction process, the single-stage extraction rate of gallium is greater than 90%, while the single-stage co-extraction rate of aluminum is less than 15%. In the stepwise back-extraction: during gallium back-extraction, the single-stage back-extraction rate of gallium is greater than 90%, while the single-stage back-extraction rate of aluminum is less than 6%; during aluminum back-extraction, the single-stage back-extraction rate of aluminum is greater than 90%. The gallium back-extraction solution I obtained after back-extraction I is passed through a homogeneous dialysis membrane, and the low-acid gallium-containing solution III is neutralized to precipitate gallium, yielding a concentrate with a gallium content greater than 30%, which is used as a raw material for electrowinning the preparation of metallic gallium. The aluminum back-extraction solution I obtained after back-extraction II is passed through a homogeneous dialysis membrane, and the low-acid aluminum-containing solution IV is neutralized to precipitate aluminum, yielding a concentrate with an aluminum content greater than 28%, which is used as a raw material for preparing alumina. The free acid solution from dialysis is used to replenish the concentrated solution for recycling.

[0017] The liquid-liquid extraction I uses an organic phase with alkyl phosphate extractant, which has a long carbon chain and low water solubility, meeting the requirements for cyclic reuse. The alkyl phosphates with the structures of formula (11) and (12) have an acidity between P204 and OPAP extractants due to the electron-donating effect of the alkyl group. They can undergo hydrogen ionization in acidic systems and can exchange ions with gallium to achieve the purpose of extraction with a certain acid concentration without the need for acid adjustment.

[0018] By controlling the back-extraction temperature during the process, gallium and aluminum impurities can be effectively separated without introducing other chemical elements. After back-extraction, the high-acid solution is recycled through a dialysis unit, reducing production costs and improving product quality.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following: The above scheme employs a novel phosphate ester extractant to achieve one-step gallium extraction in a compound extraction system, followed by stepwise back-extraction to separate and enrich gallium and aluminum. The process is simple, has low production costs, and provides excellent separation of gallium and aluminum, making it highly valuable for broad industrial applications. Specifically,

[0020] A novel phosphate ester extractant is used, whose extraction performance is between that of P204 and OPAP. In a compound extraction system, one-step gallium extraction is achieved. During this process, the gallium single-stage extraction rate is greater than 90%, and the aluminum single-stage co-extraction rate is less than 15%. Stepwise back-extraction is also performed: during gallium back-extraction, the gallium single-stage back-extraction rate is greater than 90%, while the aluminum single-stage back-extraction rate is less than 6%; during aluminum back-extraction, the aluminum single-stage back-extraction rate is greater than 90%.
