The invention relates to the technical field of
hydrometallurgy and
inorganic chemical engineering, and discloses a method for preparing battery-grade high-purity
manganese sulfate by reducing
manganese oxide ore through
sulfur dioxide, a composition is composed of
manganese oxide ore
powder, water, an
iodine source and a fluorosilane modified hydrophobic porous adsorption medium, and the technological process comprises the steps that a gas-liquid-
solid-
solid four-phase
system is constructed,
sulfur dioxide is introduced, and a gas-liquid-
solid four-phase
system is constructed; the elemental
iodine enriched on the hydrophobic interface is utilized to preferentially oxidize
sulfur dioxide to generate an intermediate
reducing agent hydriodic acid, and then manganese ore is leached; along with the reaction,
free iodine in a
liquid phase is driven to spontaneously transfer into a hydrophobic medium to realize in-situ regeneration by utilizing a high-ionic-strength
salting-out effect generated by accumulation of a product manganese
sulfate. By means of
reaction path reconstruction and physical and chemical environment regulation and control, generation of
dithionate by-products is effectively inhibited, the problem of homogeneous catalyst
recovery is solved, reaction
kinetics and product purity are remarkably improved, and the method is suitable for industrial application.
