Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrometallurgical technology, and relates to the ferric sulfate system, specifically to a hydrometallurgical ferric sulfate system for the utilization of iron resources. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as hydrometallurgy and comprehensive utilization of waste resources, there is a challenge in separating low-value element iron from high-value elements such as nickel, cobalt, copper, rare earth elements, and aluminum. Many methods have been developed, primarily three: precipitation, ion exchange resin, and solvent extraction. Precipitation is typically used in separation and purification processes where high iron removal efficiency is not required, generally achieving an iron removal rate of 60%, which is insufficient for deep iron removal. During precipitation, other valuable metals inevitably co-precipitate with iron, resulting in losses and the generation of large amounts of hazardous waste such as iron alum containing heavy metals. Ion exchange resins offer high efficiency and selectivity, but due to their relatively low mass transfer rate and limited iron loading capacity, they are unsuitable for separation systems with high iron content; they are only economically feasible when the iron content is relatively low. Solvent extraction offers advantages such as high selectivity and extraction efficiency, large loading capacity, and low energy consumption, but back-extraction of iron requires the use of high-concentration hydrochloric acid. In solvent extraction, organic reagents such as acidic phosphate esters, neutral extractants, and amine extractants perform well in removing iron from solutions. Acidic phosphate ester extractants, such as P204 and P507, are particularly effective in removing iron from solutions containing metal sulfates like nickel, cobalt, and aluminum. However, all these methods remove iron as an impurity, generating a large amount of hazardous waste. For example, in the hydrometallurgical process of nickel, removing 1 ton of iron ions produces more than 4 tons of jaundice slag. The composition of this solid waste varies considerably, containing 18%–25% iron, 10%–13% sulfur, 4%–9% sodium, 1%–4% silicon, 0.05%–7.00% nickel, 0.1%–2.0% cobalt, 0.5%–1.0% copper, and other impurities such as lead, barium, zinc, manganese, calcium, and magnesium, totaling about 1%, making it a typical hazardous waste. While solvent extraction for iron removal reduces solid waste, it generates a large amount of waste hydrochloric acid. Removing one ton of iron produces 25-28 tons of approximately 4N waste hydrochloric acid and a significant amount of wastewater. Given increasingly stringent environmental regulations, solving these problems has become a major challenge for relevant enterprises and technical personnel in hydrometallurgy and environmental protection fields.

[0086] The specific process includes the following steps:
[0087] Step 1: Extraction process of iron ions in the ferric sulfate system:

[0096] In step S13, the washing stages are 4 to 6.
[0097] Step S14: The ferric chloride wastewater containing hydrochloric acid obtained in step S13 is neutralized in wastewater collection and neutralization tank 115 using the iron oxide obtained in step two to obtain ferric chloride wastewater.
[0098] In step S14, the neutralized pH is 3.5 to 4.
[0099] In step S15, the wastewater containing ferric chloride obtained in step S14 is further concentrated by passing it through a triple-effect evaporator 116 to obtain a concentrated ferric chloride solution. The concentrated ferric chloride solution is then combined with the ferric chloride solution containing hydrochloric acid obtained in step S12 to form a combined liquid, which is then transported to the antiferric waste hydrochloric acid receiving tank 114.
[0100] In step S15, the concentration of the concentrated ferric chloride solution is 325 g to 432 g / L.
[0101] Step 2, the separation process of iron and hydrochloric acid after extraction:
