A kind of method of extracting and separating beryllium
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of extracting and separating beryllium.
Background technology
Beryllium is the alkali earth metal of density minimum, is widely used in nuclear power, aerospace and the fields such as aviation, metallurgy.
At present, the main production method of extracting in the world beryllium oxide from ore is fluorination method and sulfuric acid process.Fluorination method be with levigate beryllium with after Sodium Silicofluoride, iron ice crystal and yellow soda ash mix briquetting in mass ratio in the resistive heating kiln sintering, water leaches behind the agglomerate mix grinding.The flow process of fluorination method is fairly simple, and the protection against corrosion condition is good, and is fit to process fluorine-containing high raw material, but quality product is slightly poorer than sulfuric acid process.When this method is processed low grade ore, except the auxiliary consumption increases, the increase of calcium and phosphorus will reduce the content of water-soluble beryllium in the sintered material, affect the rate of recovery, and also bring the problem of fluorine processing during three wastes processing.Sulfuric acid process is with the beryllium melting, destroys the crystalline texture of its aluminizing Si oxide, makes solvent with sulfuric acid, and what make that oxide dissolution becomes vitriol contains the beryllium feed liquid.Then use the method for a series of wet separation separating-purifying, beryllium is extracted and makes beryllium hydroxide, be calcination at last industrial beryllium oxide.This method long flow path, but quality product is purer.So far, sulfuric acid process has been passed through and has been updated and perfect, is one of method of widespread use during modern beryllium hydroxide and beryllium oxide are produced.
At present, contain beryllium sulfuric acid liquid removal of impurities process and mainly contain: exsiccated ammonium alum crystallization process, hydrolytic precipitation method and P204 extraction process etc.Because the exsiccated ammonium alum crystallization process is except aluminium weak effect, troublesome poeration; The hydrolytic precipitation method can only deironing, can not remove aluminium; The P204 extraction process can separate beryllium and other alkaline-earth metal, but the method extraction progression is many, to iron, aluminium inferior separating effect, needs anti-stripping agent stepwise deironing, aluminium, troublesome poeration.Therefore, also need to seek more suitable, the better extracting process of selectivity.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide the method for the good extracting and separating beryllium of a kind of selectivity.
The method of extracting and separating beryllium of the present invention is as follows: (1) with volume ratio be 15~25% naphthenic acid-15~25% alcohol or isooctyl alcohol-50~70% kerosene organic phase with contain the beryllium feed liquid and mix at 0.5~5: 1 by volume, adding basic solution in the mixed solution, to make material liquid pH value be 5~8; (2) by organic phase and acidic solution volume ratio 0.1~5: 1 adding acidic solution back extraction impurity in the organic phase of step (1) gained, organic phase is and contains the beryllium organic phase solution after the removal of impurities; (3) by organic phase and basic solution volume ratio 0.1~5: 1, adding basic solution reextraction beryllium in the organic phase of step (2) gained, water are and contain beryllium solution after the removal of impurities, and organic phase is returned step (1) and reused.
Above-mentioned basic solution is ammoniacal liquor, sodium hydroxide, yellow soda ash or bicarbonate of ammonia.
Above-mentioned acidic solution is sulphuric acid soln or hydrochloric acid soln.
The present invention utilizes naphthenic acid to extract easily beryllium, iron, aluminium, and is not strong to alkaline-earth metal extracting powers such as calcium, magnesium, at first by extraction beryllium separated with alkaline-earth metal such as calcium, magnesium; Then utilize under acidity reextraction condition the metal ions such as iron, aluminium easily to strip, and the characteristics such as the difficult reextraction of beryllium with separation of metal ions such as iron, aluminium, stay beryllium to be retained in the organic phase under acidity reextraction condition; By basic solution beryllium is stripped at last, reach the purpose of separating-purifying beryllium.
The method of a kind of extracting and separating beryllium of the present invention can be with impurity selective separation such as beryllium and iron, aluminium, and extraction progression is few, and technique is simple, good separating effect, and the beryllium rate of recovery is high.
