AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies, when processing complex and rare materials, suffer from low leaching rates of platinum, palladium, and rhodium during the chlorination process, making enrichment difficult. Filtering of chlorination residue is also challenging, as gold, platinum, palladium, and rhodium are easily encapsulated and lost. Furthermore, the gold extraction wastewater is difficult to treat, and the neutralization residue cannot be recycled.
The process involves chlorinating and dissolving an oxidant in a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution in a reaction vessel, controlling the temperature and liquid-solid ratio, to carry out gold loading and reduction. Combined with low-temperature and high-temperature distillation, directional crystallization, and centrifugal filtration, the hydrochloric acid and water are regenerated and recycled, avoiding wastewater generation.
It improves the dissolution efficiency and recovery rate of precious metals, achieves zero wastewater discharge, has a high precious metal recovery rate, and a short process, making it suitable for the efficient separation and purification of high-selenium and low-tellurium precious metal materials.

[0052] In one or more embodiments, in step 1, the oxidizing agent is perchloric acid.
[0053] In one or more embodiments, the concentration of the oxidizing agent in step 1 is 26-30%.
[0054] In one or more embodiments, the oxidizing agent in step 1 is added in an amount of 2.5-4 times the total amount of gold, selenium, and tellurium in the input material.
[0055] In one or more embodiments, in step 2, the gold loading process is as follows: the flow ratio of the loading agent (chlorinated liquid) is controlled to be 1:0.8-8, and the gold is loaded in two stages using countercurrent loading in loading reactor 1 and loading reactor 2. After loading, a gold-loaded liquid and a post-loading liquid are obtained. The gold-loaded liquid is sent to a reduction reactor for reduction. After reduction to the end point, static separation is performed, and the system is allowed to stand for more than 10 minutes. The clarified organic phase is separated, and the precipitate is filtered to separate the post-reduction liquid and sponge gold.

The concentrated liquid 1 is returned to the reduction process, and the condensate is returned to step 1 to supplement the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution.
[0056] In one or more embodiments, the loading agent is a mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and TBP.
[0057] In one or more embodiments, the diluent is a mixture of one or both of n-dodecane and sulfonated kerosene and chloroform.
[0058] In one or more embodiments, in step 2, the two-stage loading reactor includes a first-stage loading reactor and a second-stage loading reactor.
[0059] In one or more embodiments, a potentiometer is installed at the water phase outlet of the first-stage loading reactor to monitor the potential value of the water phase.
[0060] In one or more embodiments, when the potential value decreases to <520 mV, the flow of chlorinated liquid is stopped. At this time, the first-stage gold-loaded liquid is pumped to the reduction reactor for reduction, and the second-stage loading reactor is switched to the first-stage loading reactor.
[0061] The loading reaction is as follows: R + HAuCl4= [RH + ][AuCl4 - ].
[0062] In one or more embodiments, in step 2, the reduction temperature is 90-95°C.
[0063] In one or more embodiments, in step 2, the reduction end point of the gold-loaded liquid contains <0.1 g / L of gold, and the reducing agent is oxalic acid.
[0064] The reduction reaction is as follows: 3H2C2O4+ 2[RH + ][AuCl4-] = 2Au + 6CO2+ 8H ++8Cl - +2R。

[0069] In one or more embodiments, in step 6, the temperature of the directional crystallization is 75-80℃.
[0070] The principle of the directional crystallization is that, after the high-temperature distillation, the free water and hydrochloric acid in the loaded liquid are distilled dry, and the remaining part is platinum chloride, palladium chloride, rhodium chloride, tellurium chloride and selenious acid. When the temperature is reduced to 75-80℃, all except selenious acid are precipitated in solid form, and the directional crystallization separates the noble metals and tellurium from selenium.
[0071] The crystallization residue is washed with cold water to dissolve the soluble noble metal salts into the palladium-platinum-rhodium rich liquid, and the tellurium is separated. The obtained palladium-platinum-rhodium rich liquid has high noble metal concentration and impurity tellurium, and can be used as a liquid raw material for the separation and purification of palladium, platinum and rhodium. The palladium, platinum and rhodium can be separated and purified by the processes of palladium extraction, platinum extraction and reduction precipitation of rhodium to obtain corresponding products or high-grade concentrates.
[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0073] (1) The present application proposes a wastewater zero discharge technology, i.e. there is no sodium salt, no cyanide, no nitrogen oxide, no sulfide in the aqueous phase system, which creates conditions for the cooperation of ion exchange technology and distillation concentration, and realizes the regeneration and circulation of hydrochloric acid and water.
[0074] (2) The present application has strong adaptability to complex materials containing gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, selenium and tellurium, and is particularly suitable for materials with high selenium and tellurium and low noble metals. Higher direct recovery rate and recovery can be obtained, selenium and tellurium are separated from the solution, and higher concentration of platinum, palladium, rhodium and rhodium noble liquid is obtained, which facilitates the further extraction of these metals.
[0075] For better understanding of the present application, the following examples are further illustrated in detail, but can not be understood as limiting the present application, some non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art according to the above content are also regarded as falling within the scope of the present application.
[0076] Example 1
[0077] The precious and rare materials of selenium 3.0%, tellurium 37.3%, gold 1.16%, platinum 0.107%, palladium 0.31%, rhodium 0.0052% are put in 100 kg, and the operation steps of example 1 are as follows:
[0078] Step 1: chlorination dissolution, 36% hydrochloric acid 355 kg is added in the reaction kettle according to the liquid-solid ratio of 5:1, and water is supplemented to prepare 500 ml of 7 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, then the stirrer is started, the complex precious and rare materials are slowly added and stirred, the temperature is raised to 60℃, 28% perchloric acid 47 kg is slowly added, the oxidation temperature is controlled at 82℃, after the reaction is completed, 3 kg of complex precious and rare materials are added for stirring and chlorine removal, after stopping stirring and clarifying, the upper chlorination liquid clarification liquid is extracted into gold upper loading, the chlorination slag precipitated is left in the kettle and continues to chlorinate and dissolve with the next batch of materials, and the process is repeated for 2 times, then the chlorination slag 3.2 kg is filtered as the raw material for recovering silver. The weight composition of the chlorination slag is: gold 0.188%, platinum 0.066%, palladium 0.0165%, rhodium 0.0012%, tellurium 11.73%, selenium 1.65%, silver 28.67%, lead 7.35%, and the chlorination liquid clarification liquid 461 L is produced (containing gold 2.59 g / L, platinum 0.234 g / L, palladium 0.693 g / L, rhodium 0.0112 g / L, tellurium 82.7 g / L, selenium 6.61 g / L).
[0079] Step 2: Gold recovery: The loading agent is prepared by MIBK: TBP: sulfonated kerosene: chloroform = 30%: 10%: 50%: 10%. The chlorination solution of step 1 is loaded with gold by countercurrent loading in two stages (stage 1 and stage 2) at a flow ratio of loading agent to chlorination solution of 1:8. A potential meter is installed at the water phase outlet of the loading reactor in stage 1 to monitor the potential value of the water phase. When the potential value decreases to 508 mV, the chlorination solution is stopped. At this time, the gold-loaded solution in stage 1 is pumped into the reduction reactor for reduction, and stage 2 is switched to stage 1. After loading, 58 L of gold-loaded solution and 460.6 L of post-loading solution are obtained, with gold content of 20.58 g / L, platinum, palladium, and rhodium content all less than 0.001 g / L.
