The application belongs to the technical field of
hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for recovering iron and
manganese from
wolframite acidolysis
wastewater, which comprises the following steps: obtaining
wolframite acidolysis
wastewater containing Fe and Mn, adding a
manganese-containing
reagent into the
wolframite acidolysis
wastewater to adjust the pH to 4-4.5, filtering to obtain Fe(OH)3 and a
manganese-containing filtrate; and recovering manganese from the manganese-containing filtrate by
ion exchange, extraction or
precipitation to obtain a manganese-containing product. The application prepares a by-product of iron
hydroxide by adding a manganese-containing
reagent, does not introduce other impurities in the process, and can subsequently enrich and recover the added
reagent, reduces the use of additional
consumables, and avoids resource waste; the self-made resin has higher exchange capacity and selectivity than traditional cation exchange resins, and improves the purity of the by-product of manganese
sulfate solution; through the graded
recovery of iron and manganese, the purity of
calcium sulfate generated by subsequent
ammonia removal is high, and the
calcium sulfate can be sold as a by-product, thereby significantly reducing the
solid waste
discharge of the whole process.
