The invention provides a method for selectively leaching
titanium from
red mud, and belongs to the field of
red mud resourceful treatment. The method comprises the following steps: slurrying
red mud to obtain red mud
slurry; mixing the red mud with a deconstruction agent, and performing
microwave activation to obtain active red mud; the method comprises the following steps: mixing active red mud with an acidic inhibitor, and carrying out wet
impurity removal pretreatment to obtain a
titanium-rich
filter cake; and mixing the
titanium-rich
filter cake with a targeted leaching synergist for selective
enhanced dissolution to obtain a titanium-rich solution. Firstly, a deconstruction agent is used for carrying out
microwave activation on red mud, and the subsequent leaching reaction activity of the red mud is improved; then an acidic inhibitor is used for conducting wet
impurity removal pretreatment on the active red mud, effective components in the acidic inhibitor can preferentially dissolve iron and aluminum elements in the red mud, meanwhile,
dissolution of the titanium element is inhibited, and titanium is enriched in
slag to obtain a titanium-rich
filter cake; and finally, carrying out selective
enhanced dissolution on the titanium-rich filter cake by using a targeted leaching synergist to realize selective efficient leaching of the titanium element.
