The invention discloses a method for removing
chromium from a
sodium tungstate solution, and relates to the field of
sodium tungstate purification. In a
sodium tungstate solution containing
chromium, a
mixed gas of
carbon dioxide and an
inert gas is first introduced, and then the volume proportion of
carbon dioxide in the
mixed gas is gradually increased, and then
sulfur dioxide gas is introduced, and a precipitant is added, stirred, and aged. The invention first treats
sodium tungstate with a
mixed gas containing
carbon dioxide, and then gradually adjusts the content of carbon dioxide, so that the pH value of the
sodium tungstate solution can be adjusted, and the method can effectively avoid making the solution partially over-acidic and causing tungstate
colloid, and the addition of the
inert gas plays a role of buffering, diluting, and stirring, reducing the loss of tungstate ions, and then
sulfur dioxide and a precipitant are introduced, so that
hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent
chromium. Therefore, the method of the invention not only reduces the loss of
tungsten, but also ensures high-efficiency chromium removal.
