The invention belongs to the technical field of
tungsten hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for removing
chromium from a
sodium tungstate solution, which comprises the following steps: adjusting the pH value of the
chromium-containing
sodium tungstate solution to 9-12, heating to 80-90 DEG C, and keeping the temperature to obtain a pretreated
sodium tungstate solution; the preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing ferrite and aluminum salt in a
mass ratio of (3: 1)-(4: 1), adding a proper amount of water, and stirring until the ferrite and the aluminum salt are dissolved, so as to obtain a
chromium removal
reagent, and the
molar ratio of
ferrous ions to a chromium element is (3.15: 1)-(4.50: 1); and adding a chromium removal
reagent into the pretreated
sodium tungstate solution, stirring, standing and filtering to obtain the chromium-removed
sodium tungstate solution. The solution is prepared from the
ferrous salt and the aluminum salt, so that the usage amount of a precipitator is reduced, and the chromium removal cost is reduced; al (OH) 3 generated by introducing aluminum salt is wrapped on the surface of formed Fe (OH) 3 colloidal precipitate, so that
tungsten loss is reduced; according to the technical scheme, less
sludge is generated, and the treatment is simple; the purity of
sodium tungstate is improved, so that the quality and the performance of a
tungsten product are improved; and the method is suitable for production requirements of different scales and has relatively high adaptability.
