Description

Use and method of amino-containing neutral phosphine extraction agent for extracting and separating zirconium and/or hafnium
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy of zirconium and hafnium, and particularly relates to application and a method of an amino neutral phosphine extraction agent for extracting and separating zirconium and/or hafnium.
Background
Nuclear power is a technically mature clean energy source and is widely concerned by researchers in various countries, while zirconium and hafnium are key materials for constructing nuclear reactors and are listed as key research objects for strategic development of the countries. Zirconium and hafnium have distinct nuclear properties and are therefore used in different aspects of nuclear reactors. Zirconium has a small thermal neutron absorption cross-section (0.18 + -0.02 b,1 b-10)-28m2Atomic), is widely used for reactor cladding and structural materials, while hafnium has a large thermal neutron capture cross-section, and is an important material for controlling thermonuclear reactions. Atomic level zirconium (also known as nuclear grade zirconium) used in reactors requires less than 0.01% hafnium therein, while atomic level hafnium (also known as nuclear grade hafnium) requires less than 2% zirconium therein. Due to lanthanide contraction, the atomic radius and ionic radius of zirconium and hafnium are similar, and the physicochemical properties are also similar, making separation difficult. Therefore, zirconium hafnium separation is a key technology for preparing nuclear grade zirconium hafnium.
However, in nature, zirconium and hafnium are always associated, with no zirconium or hafnium present alone, and the hafnium content of zirconium is generally about 1% to 3%.In order to effectively separate zirconium and hafnium, different methods have been proposed by domestic and foreign scientists, mainly wet separation techniques including solvent extraction, fractional crystallization, and adsorptive separation. Among them, the solvent extraction method has advantages of large production capacity, simple equipment, convenient automation, low cost, etc., and thus is widely used in the production of nuclear grade zirconium hafnium. The current relatively mature solvent extraction separation systems for nuclear grade zirconium hafnium production are: methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) -hydrogen thiocyanate (HSCN) system, tributyl phosphate (TBP) -HCl-HNO3And (4) preparing the system. CN101643847A discloses tributyl phosphate extraction resin for zirconium hafnium separation and a preparation method thereof, which solve the problems of high system acidity, severe equipment corrosion, serious emulsification of tributyl phosphate and the like in liquid-liquid extraction separation of zirconium hafnium, but also face the problems that separation by a resin method cannot be continuously carried out, the separation treatment capacity is small and the like. CN1927725A discloses a process for preparing atomic-level zirconium oxide and hafnium oxide by a methyl isobutyl ketone double-solvent extraction method, but the method has the problems of serious MIBK and HSCN pollution and the like.
Therefore, the research on the efficient and green solvent extraction method is still a hot spot in the field of zirconium hafnium separation.

The feed liquid containing zirconium (IV) and/or hafnium (IV) comprises zirconium (IV) and/or hafnium (IV) and mineral acid, and can also comprise other elements. The concentration of zirconium (IV) or hafnium (IV) in the feed solution may be about 0.001 to 2 mol/L. When hafnium zirconium is present in the feed solution, the concentration of hafnium (IV) is generally less than the concentration of zirconium (IV), and may be 1/3 to 1/100 of the concentration of zirconium (IV). When the concentration of zirconium or hafnium in the feed liquid is too high, zirconium or hafnium is likely to be crystallized and precipitated, and the solution viscosity is high, which may affect the extraction.
The acidity of the feed liquid is about 0.1 to 10mol/L, preferably about 0.5 to 4mol/L, in terms of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions, of nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, or a mixed solution of these acids in any proportion. In addition, the acidity of the feed liquid is too low or too high, which may reduce the extraction performance of the neutral phosphine extraction system on zirconium and hafnium.
There is no limitation on the raw materials for preparing the feed liquid as long as zirconium and/or hafnium are contained therein. Suitable materials for preparing the feed solution include various zirconium and/or hafnium-containing materials, such as zircon, hafnozostrite, anisolite, baddeleyite, and the like. The raw material can be pretreated by physical and chemical methods, and dissolved by sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid or the mixed acid of the above acids to prepare the feed liquid suitable for the method of the invention.
In practical application, the feed liquid may also contain trivalent rare earth, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, transition metal, non-metal elements and other elements. In this case, the method of the invention can be used for preferentially extracting zirconium and/or hafnium with high selectivity, and separating zirconium and hafnium from other elements.
In the extraction step, the number of extraction stages may be 1 to 50, for example, 3 to 40, preferably 5 to 20. Excessive extraction stages increase the amount of separation equipment and extractant used, thereby increasing the cost.
Preferably, the flow ratio of the neutral phosphine extraction system to the feed liquid can be about 0.05-20: 1, for example, about 0.1 to 20: 1, preferably about 0.2 to 10: 1. the flow ratio is changed mainly according to the concentration of zirconium and/or hafnium in the feed liquid, and when the concentration of zirconium and/or hafnium in the feed liquid is high, the flow of the neutral phosphine extraction system is properly increased to ensure that zirconium and/or hafnium can be sufficiently extracted into the organic phase.
In the process for separating zirconium (IV) from hafnium (IV) by extraction according to the invention, a zirconium-containing extract and a hafnium-containing raffinate, or a hafnium-containing extract and a zirconium-containing raffinate, are obtained. The hafnium-containing raffinate or the zirconium-containing raffinate can be further used as a hafnium-containing feed liquid or a zirconium-containing feed liquid to extract hafnium or zirconium therein, respectively, to obtain a hafnium-containing extract or a zirconium-containing extract, respectively. In this case, the method for separating hafnium (IV) or zirconium by extraction according to the present invention is preferably used, and more preferably, the same neutral phosphine extraction system as used in the method for separating zirconium (IV) from hafnium (IV) by extraction is used, so that the process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.
Other valuable elements, such as rare earth elements, in the raffinate obtained after extraction of zirconium and/or hafnium can be separated and extracted by methods known in the art.
After obtaining the zirconium-and/or hafnium-containing extract, the zirconium-and/or hafnium-containing extract may be subjected to a subsequent treatment as follows.
The solvent extraction process according to the invention also comprises the step of optionally washing the zirconium-and/or hafnium-containing extract with a washing liquid (which may also be referred to as washing liquid, washing acid, washing agent). The washing process may further reduce the content of impurity elements in the zirconium-and/or hafnium-containing extract, thereby contributing to an increase in the purity of the final product.
The washing solution can be nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or a mixed solution of the above acids in any proportion. The acidity of the washing liquid is about 0.2 to 4mol/L in terms of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions.
The number of washing stages may be 0 to 20, preferably 0 to 10. Too long washing stages can affect the yield of zirconium and/or hafnium and waste energy and extractant.
The wash flow ratio may be the zirconium and/or hafnium containing extract: about 1: 0.1 to 5, preferably about 1: 0.2 to 2. Increasing the flow rate of the washing liquid, on the one hand, increases the product purity of zirconium and/or hafnium, but, on the other hand, also decreases the yield of the target element, and also consumes more washing acid and the amount of alkali needed to neutralize these washing acids, increasing the production costs.
The process according to the invention further comprises the step of stripping the zirconium and/or hafnium in the zirconium-and/or hafnium-containing extract with a stripping agent (which may also be referred to as a "stripping solution", a "stripping solution") to obtain a zirconium-and/or hafnium-containing strip product. The organic phase after the back extraction can be recycled and used for extracting and separating zirconium and/or hafnium from the zirconium and/or hafnium-containing feed liquid again.
The stripping solution is alkali solution such as ammonia water, sodium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate; oxalate solutions such as potassium oxalate, sodium oxalate, and the like. The concentration of hydroxide radical in the alkali solution is 0.001-6 mol/L; preferably 0.1-2 mol/L; the concentration of oxalate in the oxalate solution is from 0.01mol/L to saturated solution.
Preferably, in the solvent extraction method, the number of back extraction stages is 1-10, preferably 2-6; the flow ratio is the extraction liquid containing zirconium and/or hafnium: and (3) stripping solution is 1: 0.1 to 5, preferably 1: 0.2 to 2.
The resulting zirconium or hafnium-containing strip product may be further treated with a treatment selected from precipitation, filtration, calcination, acid dissolution, drying, etc., to obtain a zirconium or hafnium product.
The resultant zirconium-and hafnium-containing strip product is subjected to a treatment, for example, a treatment selected from precipitation, filtration, calcination, acid dissolution, etc., to prepare a zirconium-and hafnium-containing solution. The hafnium-zirconium-containing solution may be subjected to a method according to the invention for separating zirconium (IV) from hafnium (IV) by extraction to separate zirconium and hafnium to obtain a zirconium-containing strip product and a hafnium-containing raffinate; or a hafnium-containing strip product and a zirconium-containing raffinate. The zirconium-containing strip product and the hafnium-containing raffinate or the hafnium-containing strip product and the zirconium-containing raffinate can be further treated by a treatment selected from precipitation, filtration, calcination, acid dissolution, drying, etc., to obtain a zirconium or hafnium product.
In the solvent extraction process according to the present invention, the extraction, washing and back-extraction may be carried out using a separatory apparatus well known in the art, preferably in a series of separatory funnels, mixed-clarification extraction tanks, more preferably in a mixed-clarification extraction tank.
