Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of tungsten resource recycling technology, specifically a method for preparing ammonium paratungstate. Background Technology

[0002] Tungsten, as an important strategic metal resource, has wide applications in industrial production. China, as a major global tungsten resource country and a major exporter of tungsten products, holds approximately 60% of the world's total tungsten reserves, ranking first globally. Currently, China's tungsten smelting mainly employs the alkaline decomposition process, extracting tungsten from the ore through ball milling and alkaline pressure leaching. However, the alkaline pressure leaching process generates a large amount of tungsten slag. For every ton of ammonium paratungstate produced, tungsten smelting enterprises generate approximately 0.8 tons of tungsten slag. Based on this, it is estimated that domestic tungsten smelting enterprises generate approximately 100,000 tons of tungsten slag annually. With the continuous development of the tungsten industry, the consumption of metallic tungsten raw materials is increasing, recoverable tungsten resources are gradually decreasing, and tungsten ore reserves are declining sharply. Some mines are already facing or are about to face the severe situation of resource depletion.

[0003] Currently, to improve the recovery rate of tungsten resources, the main measures adopted for tungsten slag recovery and extraction include pyrometallurgical roasting using a single flux, simple water leaching treatment, and extraction using a single desorbent. These technologies have improved the recovery efficiency of tungsten resources to some extent, but some problems and shortcomings remain. First, in the traditional pyrometallurgical roasting process, only sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide are typically used as fluxes. These single fluxes have limited effectiveness in treating tungsten slag with complex compositions, and cannot effectively improve the conversion rate of tungsten and the solidification effect of impurities. Second, existing water leaching treatment and desorbent extraction methods are limited and cannot adapt to solutions of different concentrations, resulting in low tungsten extraction efficiency and low recovery rate. Furthermore, existing technical solutions have certain limitations in practical applications and are difficult to meet the tungsten resource recovery needs under different production conditions.

[0004] Therefore, developing a novel method for optimizing pyrometallurgical calcination fluxes has significant practical implications and application value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method for preparing ammonium paratungstate. By introducing borax as a new fluxing agent on the basis of traditional fluxing agents, the efficiency of pyrometallurgical roasting can be improved while solidifying impurities. Subsequently, different solutions are used for analysis, which can further separate impurities and more effectively analyze tungsten in the solution, thereby improving the extraction efficiency and recovery rate of tungsten.

[0006] This application discloses a method for preparing ammonium paratungstate, comprising the following steps: S1. Obtain tungsten slag, sodium-containing reagent and borax, and mix the sodium-containing reagent and the borax to obtain a flux; S2. The flux is mixed with the tungsten slag and calcined to obtain the calcined product; S3. The calcined product is soaked in water, and the solid and liquid are separated to obtain the water-soaked liquid; S4. The water-immersed liquid is adsorbed using an ion exchange resin. After the adsorption is saturated, it is first rinsed with sodium chloride solution and then desorbed with sodium hydroxide solution to obtain the eluent. S5. The solution is processed by traditional process to obtain national standard grade zero ammonium paratungstate product.

[0007] In the above technical solution, borax, due to its excellent fluxing properties and low melting point, is introduced into a fluxing agent prepared by mixing borax with traditional sodium-containing reagents. When mixed with tungsten slag for roasting, borax can form water-insoluble substances with impurities such as iron, silicon, calcium, and aluminum, thereby solidifying the impurities and achieving separation of tungsten and these impurities during water leaching. Simultaneously, the low-melting-point melt formed by borax and impurities allows the sodium-containing reagents to react better with the tungsten slag, making tungsten extraction more efficient. The main component of the leaching solution is sodium tungstate solution. After adsorption by ion exchange resin, it is first leached with sodium chloride solution. Because of the high melting point, the sodium chloride solution... - Compared to WO4 2- It is more easily adsorbed by the resin column, therefore some of the Cl... - It can be used to wash away impurities of tungsten, and another part can replace some impurities to pre-separate some impurities; then, sodium hydroxide solution is used to completely precipitate the adsorbed tungsten. First, borax is used to melt and solidify the impurities, and then different solutions are used to separate the impurities. The resulting precipitate can be processed by traditional processes to obtain the national standard grade zero ammonium paratungstate product.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S1, the sodium-containing reagent includes sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, or sodium nitrate.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S1, the WO3 content in the tungsten slag is 0.8wt%~1.5wt%.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the mass ratio of the tungsten slag, the sodium-containing reagent, and the borax is 100:(40~60):(15~35); By optimizing the flux ratio, the complex composition of tungsten slag can be effectively addressed, improving the efficiency of pyrometallurgical roasting and the solidification effect of impurities, thereby significantly increasing the conversion and recovery rate of tungsten. At the same time, it can also reduce the amount of flux used and lower the processing cost.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S2, the calcination temperature is 800~900℃ and the time is 2~4h.

[0012] Further, step S2 specifically involves: heating the tungsten slag to a first temperature, adding 60wt%~70wt% of the flux and holding it at the first temperature, then heating it to a second temperature, adding the remaining flux and holding it at the second temperature, and finally heating it to 800~900℃ for calcination for 2~4 hours to obtain the calcined product.

[0013] Furthermore, the first temperature is 300~400℃, and the first heat preservation time is 0.5~1h; the second temperature is 700~750℃, and the second heat preservation time is 2~4h.

[0014] By altering the flux addition method and employing a staged addition approach, the flux can play a better role at different reaction stages, improving the solidification effect of impurities and the conversion rate of tungsten. Within the 300–400℃ range, low-valent tungsten and tungsten sulfide undergo oxidation, readily soluble tungsten is converted to Na₂WO₄, and iron-manganese hydroxides are dehydrated; silicon-aluminum undergoes only a dehydration phase transition, avoiding the formation of large amounts of molten silicates; calcium-magnesium minerals undergo a preliminary phase transition. Within the 700–750℃ range, sparingly soluble tungstates such as calcium tungstate and iron tungstate are decomposed by the added sodium-containing reagent, releasing the encapsulated tungsten, and borax produces a suitable liquid phase. The staged addition of flux and the stepwise heating method also allow for strict control of prolonged high-temperature contact between silicon, aluminum, and sodium-containing reagents, reducing the large-scale formation of sodium aluminosilicate.

[0015] Furthermore, before step S4, the pH of the water-immersed solution is adjusted to 4-6.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, the liquid-to-solid ratio of the water immersion is (2~4) mL / 1g.

[0017] Furthermore, step S4 specifically includes: The water-immersed liquid was adsorbed using an ion exchange resin. After adsorption saturation, it was first rinsed with sodium chloride solution until the concentration of WO3 in the collected leaching solution was 0.7~1g / L. Then, it was desorbed with sodium hydroxide solution to obtain the eluent.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S4, the concentration of the sodium chloride solution is 0.5~1 mol / L.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S4, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 16~18 mol / L.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, the ion exchange resin is D314 resin.

[0021] This application proposes a method for preparing ammonium paratungstate, which produces the following beneficial effects: 1. Improve tungsten resource recovery rate: By introducing borax as a new fluxing agent and optimizing the fluxing agent ratio, the efficiency of pyrometallurgical roasting and the effect of impurity solidification can be improved, while the conversion rate and recovery rate of tungsten can be increased. 2. Reduce tungsten slag treatment costs: By optimizing the flux addition method, the flux can play a better role in different reaction stages, improve the solidification effect of impurities and the conversion rate of tungsten, reduce the amount of flux used, and reduce treatment costs; 3. Improve the efficiency of tungsten slag treatment: By using different desorption agents in stages, tungsten in solutions of different concentrations can be extracted more effectively, improving the extraction efficiency and recovery rate of tungsten, thereby improving the overall efficiency of tungsten slag treatment; 4. High adaptability: The ratio and addition method of flux, as well as the concentration and desorption steps of the desorbent, can be flexibly adjusted according to different production conditions and tungsten slag composition. It has strong adaptability and flexibility and can meet the needs of tungsten resource recovery under different conditions. Detailed Implementation
