Adsorption material for selectively separating indium and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of environmental pollution control and rare material recovery, and particularly relates to an adsorption material for selectively separating indium and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Indium, a very low-content rare-earth element in the earth's crust, is widely dispersed in nature, and so far no deposit with indium as an independent or main component has been found to exist in other minerals in the form of impurities. However, indium and its compounds are widely used in the fields of aviation, electronics, and military industry. In addition, indium ions in the aqueous solution are a heavy metal ion which poses serious threats to the environment and human health, so that the method has important significance for selective separation and recovery of indium ions in the aqueous solution from the perspective of resource recycling and the perspective of removing the metal ions in the aqueous solution.
Currently, there are mainly chemical precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction methods for indium separation and recovery. Patent CN 106086410 a discloses a method for separating and recovering indium and zinc from a solution after indium extraction and substitution, which requires that indium and zinc are separated by adjusting the pH value, and then indium is recovered by back extraction. This method of chemical precipitation is often used in systems where the concentration of indium ions is high, and as mentioned above, indium is a very low-dispersion element, and therefore its concentration in aqueous solution is generally low, and other interfering metal ions are also present. The method has certain limitations. Patent CN 103620070 a discloses a method for recovering indium, which adopts a method of strain to recover indium, and this method generally has a small amount of treatment, a long time and a relatively high cost; patent CN 102061398A mentions that indium is recovered by directly adopting a step-by-step extraction method, and although the liquid-liquid extraction method is the main method for recovering indium at present, there are many disadvantages, such as organic phase residue, complex operation, and serious environmental pollution. CN201380050353 discloses a method for producing a complex-forming adsorbent for selective extraction of indium. The technical scheme uses spherical and granular cross-linked macroporous acrylonitrile as a carrier and an organic carrier, and has high cost and complicated modification operation steps.
Therefore, in the field of indium separation and recovery, it is necessary to develop a simpler and easier adsorbent.
