Metatitanic acid purification process
Technical field
Patent application of the present invention relates to metatitanic acid purifying method, is in particular separated from metatitanic acid by metallic impurity, makes metatitanic acid be able to pure processing method.
Background technology
Metatitanic acid is the intermediate product of a core procedure in titanium dioxide manufacturing process.The predominant methods preparing titanium dioxide is sulfuric acid process, and the method take ilmenite as raw material, and obtain titanium liquid through sulfuric acid solution, titanium liquid is again through being hydrolyzed obtained hydrated titanium dioxide, i.e. intermediate product metatitanic acid, metatitanic acid obtains titanium dioxide through high-temperature calcination again.The preparation of metatitanic acid is the core link of titanium white production technique, and be also one of the most key processing step of whole technology controlling and process, the purity of intermediate product affects titanium dioxide quality and quality.
Metatitanic acid, except mainly for the preparation of except titanium dioxide, is also used to prepare Nano titanium dioxide, titanium sulfate, titanyl sulfate etc. containing titanium products.Because the starting material place of production is different, the difference of preparation technology and add the impact of each factors such as raw material, the impurity metal ions such as iron, cobalt, chromium, magnesium, manganese, alum, niobium, sodium or potassium can be comprised containing a large amount of in obtained metatitanic acid, the existence of these impurity is the most important factor affecting metatitanic acid quality and quality, calcine the titanium dioxide form and aspect obtained partially yellow, partially red, make its whiteness impaired; When preparing Nano titanium dioxide with the metatitanic acid containing metallic impurity, wherein impurity can become nucleus of crystal, Nano titanium dioxide particle is tied poly-, causes size-grade distribution to be uneven state, and then have influence on the effect of its catalytic applications; In the preparation technology of titanium sulfate or titanyl sulfate, the impurity of metatitanic acid can make the crystal formation of product and structure change, and then affects solubleness and the product purity of product, brings sizable trouble to derived product preparation.
Therefore, purifying metatitanic acid, especially impurity metal ion is wherein separated, very necessary, but existing purification technique is unsatisfactory, existing purification technique means adopt washing, bleaching, the continuous treatment step of Ficus caricaL to purify metatitanic acid, and its technical problem existed to introduce new residual contamination, using maximum in bleaching is zinc SYNTHETIC OPTICAL WHITNER or aluminium SYNTHETIC OPTICAL WHITNER, is in metatitanic acid, introduce one of dye source that residue pollutes; The salt of wormwood used in Ficus caricaL process, phosphoric acid etc., also can introduce residual impurity, and then affect purity and the quality of subsequent product in final product.
Summary of the invention
The goal of the invention of patent application of the present invention be impurity metal ion in metatitanic acid to separate and can not introduce new impurity realize the metatitanic acid purification process that metatitanic acid really purifies.The metatitanic acid purification process technical scheme that patent application of the present invention provides, its main technical content is: a kind of metatitanic acid purification process, for pickle solution is successively through pickling, sedimentation and ion-exchange, return the continuous flow cycle for the treatment of process of pickling again, the aqueous sulfuric acid of described pickle solution to be starting point concentration be 0.05 ~ 2wt%, the original bulk of pickle solution is 2 ~ 50 times of the metatitanic acid quality being placed in pickling tank, wherein the stirring of pickling will make metatitanic acid dispersed in aqueous sulfuric acid, in described sedimentation, the metatitanic acid of sedimentation backflows to pickling, ion-exchange step is introduced in supernatant liquor flowing, ion-exchange is carried out in ion exchange column, working cycle is not less than 3 hours, after working cycle terminates, the metatitanic acid of filter acid cleaning of evaporator lower floor, through conventional water wash, dehydration, obtain purifying metatitanic acid, be filled with macroporous type or gel-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin in ion exchange column, the ionic of this resin is Hydrogen.
As a preferred version of technique scheme, the concentration of aqueous sulfuric acid is 0.1 ~ 1wt%.
As a preferred version of technique scheme, the add-on of aqueous sulfuric acid is 3 ~ 20 times of metatitanic acid quality.
As a preferred version of technique scheme, a whole set of continuous circulation time is 3 ~ 30 hours, and the best continuous circulation time is 5 ~ 15 hours.
As a preferred version of technique scheme, described metatitanic acid is the metatitanic acid that ilmenite obtains titanium liquid through sulfuric acid solution, obtains after hydrolysis, and this metatitanic acid have passed through preliminary washing.
As a preferred version of technique scheme, described settling process adopts vertical-flow settling vessel or inclined tube-type settling vessel.
As a preferred version of technique scheme, described aqueous sulfuric acid is the dilute sulphuric acid of industrial sulphuric acid or chemical reagent sulfuric acid and deionized water mixture.
Metatitanic acid purification process technical scheme disclosed in patent application of the present invention, for normal temperature, the technological process for purifying of low sulfuric acid concentration, low-concentration sulfuric acid is adopted to carry out pickling to the metatitanic acid containing impurity metal ion, sulfuric acid infiltrates in metatitanic acid particle, react with metal ion and generate soluble sulphate, as ferrous sulfate, chromium sulphate, vanadylic sulfate etc., these soluble salts are introduced in ion exchange column with supernatant liquor, with ion exchange resin generation replacement(metathesis)reaction, resin effectively catching metallic cation wherein, sulfate ion is then combined with the hydrogen ion of resin and forms new sulfuric acid, namely in a whole set of working cycle, the sulfuric acid concentration of pickle solution can remain unchanged at initial level all the time, and acidity also makes the vitriol of generation not be hydrolyzed, do not form precipitation, retained by ion exchange resin and effectively separated.Another large advantage of the technical program is: fresh sulfuric acid constantly returns pickling tank, good immersion Zn is had to the vitriol be adsorbed in metatitanic acid, thus this part sulfate impurities effectively can be stripped out, it is made to depart from metatitanic acid, enter in solution, further increase the purifying to metatitanic acid, removal of impurities effect.Through the purifying metatitanic acid that the processing method of this programme finally obtains, calcining, obtained high-quality titanium dioxide can be directly used in, and without the need to again through bleaching and Ficus caricaL, thus not have new impurity and be introduced into.The technical program technique is simple, be easy to realize, pickle solution does not consume substantially, energy consumption is low, water consumption is few, and the product purification quality obtained is high, and low-concentration sulfuric acid pickle solution wherein can unrestrictedly recycle.Final purifying metatitanic acid may be used for preparing the derived product such as high-quality titanium dioxide, Nano titanium dioxide, titanium sulfate, titanyl sulfate.
