Description

A kind of method that from solution, reclaims germanium
The present invention relates to hydrometallurgy, particularly a kind of method that from solution, reclaims germanium.
With hydroxamic acid extracted germanium from germanic dilution heat of sulfuric acid, facts have proved it is a kind of efficient and simple method." the strain smelting science and technology " fourth phase in 1985 has been done detailed argumentation to this.Reextraction germanium has three kinds of methods usually from rich germanium organic phase: (one) hydrofluoric acid or NH 4The F stripping process is with hydrofluoric acid or the ammonium fluoride solution germanium of stripping from above-mentioned rich germanium organic phase.For separating Ge from fluorine-containing anti-stripping agent, also to carry out the extraction second time with trialkylamine, carry out the second time with 8N sulfuric acid and strip.Because the secondary anti-stripping agent that obtains is still fluorine-containing higher, for the complexing fluorine, add aluminium salt (AlCl in certain Al/F ratio in the strip liquor during chlorinated distillation toward the second time 36H 2O).The GeCl that distillation obtains 4After hydrolysis, obtain GeO 2Although NH 4The back extraction ratio height of F and HF reextraction germanium, but separate in order to carry out fluoro-germanium, also need carry out the extraction second time and reextraction, technical process is long, and for the second time the strip liquor fluorine content is still up to 100 grams per liters, germanic only about 22 grams per liters, and both weight ratios are: Ge: F=1: 4.5.In addition, anti-stripping agent also need add aluminium salt complexing fluorine and could carry out smoothly later when chlorinated distillation for the second time.Because aluminium salt adds in a large number, soltion viscosity increases, and produces a large amount of bubbles during distillation, causes operational difficulty, and vinasse is thick on the other hand, can not Returning utilization, can only be as three waste discharge, and contaminate environment.Because this method chloro-germanium separation method complexity, efficient is low, and the cost height has made this method since coming out the end of the seventies, fails to obtain industrial application always.(2) ammonium hydroxide adds the ammonium sulfate reverse-extraction method, promptly uses the mixing solutions of ammoniacal liquor and ammonium sulfate, the germanium of from above-mentioned rich germanium organic phase, stripping, and the anti-stripping agent that obtains obtains GeO through evaporation concentration after the hydrolysis 2Though the etching problem that this method is floride-free, technical process is simple, but the stripping rate of germanium is low, generally has only 60%.Because stripping rate is low, in the process that recycles, can cause germanium constantly accumulation in organic phase, cause organic phase (no matter being poor organic phase or saturated organic phase) that metastable equilibrium concentration can not be arranged, extracting operation therefore can not serialization.Industrial production is difficult to realize.(3) AN stripping process is promptly used NaClO, HCl+H 2O 2, HCl+Cl 2+ H 2The above general designation of O or HCl+NaClO(AN reagent) the solution germanium of from above-mentioned rich germanium organic phase, stripping.The anti-stripping agent that obtains is through evaporation concentration, chlorinated distillation, and hydrolysis gets GeO 2Though the interference that this method is floride-free, producing also can serialization.But also there is following problem in it: 1. the hydroxamic acid loss is big.Because the hydroxamic acid poor chemical stability causes hydrolysising loss easily during back extraction.And AN reagent is a kind of very strong oxygenant, and hydroxamic acid is had very strong oxygenolysis.For example: the rich germanium organic phase of oxygen-containing nitrolic acid 3%, after the NaC-10 solution back extraction once with 30 grams per liters, the germanium percentage extraction of the poor organic phase of gained is similar to zero, illustrates that hydroxamic acid wherein decomposes fully substantially, and the wastage rate of hydroxamic acid can be considered 100%.The loss of general hydroxamic acid is at thick GeO 2Production cost in occupy very high ratio, account for 60~70%.So use AN reagent reextraction germanium production cost height.2.NaClO consume greatlyyer, one kilogram of germanium of every production will consume 10~13 kilograms NaClO, is equivalent to 80~100 kilograms of industrial clorox (containing NaClO about 12%).3. in the reextraction process, the enrichment multiple of germanium is low, and the gained anti-stripping agent just can be sent to chlorinated distillation or hydrolysis after evaporation concentration.Reason is that the oxygenolysis of AN reagent can only keep once, and its oxygenolysis is very little when stripping to the second time.Therefore the AN stripping process is only applicable to single hop reextraction operation, can not carry out multistage counter current and strip, thereby germanium concentration is lower in the anti-stripping agent.
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of new technology, separate, Neutral ammonium fluoride can be recycled, reduce the reagent loss of extraction agent and strippant, improve the enrichment multiple of germanium to simplify fluoro-germanium.
Main points of the present invention are with hydroxamic acid extracted germanium from sulfuric acid medium, strip with Neutral ammonium fluoride, and directly logical ammonia of anti-stripping agent or ammoniacal liquor hydrolytic precipitation germanium make mother liquor return use.
NH 4F strips, and directly logical ammonia of strip liquor or ammoniacal liquor hydrolytic precipitation ultimate principle are:
Figure 901048836_IMG1
Represent respectively to strip and the F-Ge sepn process in equation (1) and (2).In equation (1), NH 4The F germanium of stripping from rich germanium organic phase forms (NH 4) 2GeF 6, in equation in (2), (NH 4) 2GeF 6Hydrolysis obtains GeO 2And NH 4F, this NH 4F turns back to (1) formula and recycles.
F-Ge separates and can carry out at room temperature (15~25 ℃).Strip liquor logical ammonia or ammoniacal liquor under agitation condition are kept 10 minutes to 2 hours, so that fully be settled out thick GeO till the pH value 8.5 to 10.0 under this pH 2If pH is less than 8.5, GeO 2Precipitation can be not exclusively, and if pH is greater than 10.0, the GeO that has been settled out 2Also can dissolve.
Thick GeO 2In the fluorine-containing mother liquor also carried secretly, can wash and remove, contain germanium and fluorine in the gained washing lotion, washing lotion all turns back to the dilution operation, to replenish the solution loss that is caused in the ammonia still process process.
Wash later thick GeO 2, 120 ℃ of oven dry, its chemical constitution is (weight percent): G-e50~60, F<0.5, Si<1, Fe<1~2.
In order to recycle the NH in the mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium 4F carried out ammonia still process in 10 minutes with the mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium boiling and handles, so that the pH of mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium is reduced to about 7.In the ammonia still process process, liquor capacity reduces 30% approximately, with washing lotion and distilled water mother liquor is diluted to original volume after, turn back to the back extraction operation and recycle.
Fluorine and ge content very little (germanium trace, fluorine 60 mg/litre) in the ammonia still process phlegma can be used as the mother liquor dilution and use.
Because NH 4F belongs to neutral salt, and the corrodibility of its aqueous solution is little, and equipment and materials can be selected igelite or stainless steel for use.
Fig. 1 is seen in technical process of the present invention.
