This invention discloses a method for deep removal of
calcium and
magnesium from battery-grade
manganese sulfate solution, belonging to the field of hydrometallurgical technology. The invention employs a three-stage purification process: pretreatment for
impurity removal, gradient
precipitation with
manganese fluoride, selective extraction, and
chelating resin refinement. First, the
manganese sulfate leachate undergoes pretreatment to remove iron, aluminum, and
heavy metals. Then, an in-situ / direct addition of manganese
fluoride precipitation system using
magnesium fluoride seeding and gradient fluoride supplementation efficiently removes most
calcium and
magnesium impurities from the solution, achieving a single-
precipitation rate of over 93% for magnesium ions. Subsequently, a P507 / Cyanex272 / TBP compound
saponification organic
system is used with a reverse extraction logic of "extracting
calcium and magnesium while retaining manganese in the aqueous phase" to precisely remove residual calcium and magnesium, avoiding the problems of competition between manganese and calcium and
low magnesium extraction efficiency in traditional
extraction methods. Finally,
trace amounts of calcium, magnesium, and residual fluoride ions are completely removed through aluminum salt complexation for fluoride removal combined with deep refinement using aminocarboxylic acid
chelating resin. This invention introduces no foreign impurities such as
sodium and
ammonium throughout the entire process, has a wide
process window and strong industrial stability, and the final purified manganese
sulfate solution can stably meet the high-end battery-grade index requirements of Ca²⁺≤5mg / l, Mg²⁺≤5mg / l, and F⁻≤1mg / l, making it suitable for the large-scale production of high-purity manganese sulfate, a
raw material for
lithium battery cathodes.
