Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
In one aspect of the invention, a method of recovering tungsten carbide and cobalt sulfate from tungsten carbide scrap is provided. According to an embodiment of the invention, with reference to fig. 1, the method comprises:
s100: mixing and size mixing tungsten carbide waste with concentrated sulfuric acid and water
In the step, the tungsten carbide waste is mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid and water for size mixing, so that cobalt in the tungsten carbide waste reacts with the concentrated sulfuric acid to generate cobalt sulfate (Co + H)2SO4=CoSO4+H2) And the tungsten carbide does not participate in the reaction and remains in the slag phase to obtain mixed slurry.
Specifically, in the present invention, the tungsten carbide waste refers to soft waste such as floor material, dust collecting material, grinding material, waste material, etc. generated in the production process of cemented carbide. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tungsten carbide scrap mainly comprises: tungsten content of 3-95 wt%, cobalt content of 3-20 wt%, and small amount of other impurity elements such as Fe, Cu, Ni, C, Ta, Ti, Nb, Cr, V, and SiO2And the like. The contents of the above elements are only required to satisfy the disclosure, and are not construed as being sufficientThe process provided by the present invention is applicable to tungsten-containing waste materials obtained by both commercial and existing processing methods, subject to limitations on the protocol itself. In the present invention, the source of the tungsten-containing scrap is not particularly limited, and the tungsten-containing scrap may be commercially available or may be scrap produced in the conventional cemented carbide production process.
In the invention, the tungsten carbide waste material in the mixing and size mixing process with concentrated sulfuric acid and water needs to meet the requirements that the content of oil in the tungsten carbide waste material is not higher than 0.5wt%, the moisture is not higher than 0.5wt%, and the particle size is not lower than 60 meshes. When the oil content, the water content and the particle size of the initial tungsten carbide waste material do not meet the requirements of the invention, for example, when the oil content and the water content of the initial tungsten-containing waste material are both higher than 0.5wt% and the particle size is lower than 60 meshes, the method provided by the invention preferably further comprises the step of sequentially drying and crushing the initial tungsten carbide waste material, wherein the drying condition comprises the temperature of 150-300 ℃, preferably 180-250 ℃; the time is 4-24 h, preferably 8-12 h. Further, the drying may be performed in existing various drying apparatuses. The crushing treatment process is realized by adopting universal crushing equipment. And (3) screening the crushed tungsten carbide waste material by a 60-mesh screen, preferably by a 100-mesh screen, more preferably by a 150-mesh screen to obtain a crushed material with the particle size of not less than 60 meshes, preferably not less than 100 meshes, more preferably not less than 150 meshes, and then mixing the tungsten carbide waste material meeting the requirements with concentrated sulfuric acid and water to prepare a blended slurry. And dust collecting equipment is adopted for recovering dust generated in the drying process and the crushing process. The drying process equipment, the crushing process equipment and the dust collecting equipment can be various existing equipment capable of respectively realizing the functions, the structures of the equipment are not particularly limited, and people skilled in the art can know the equipment, and the details are not described herein.
In the invention, the concentrated sulfuric acid is 98% by mass, wherein the use amount of the concentrated sulfuric acid is 1.2-3 times of a theoretical value, and preferably 1.5-2.0 times of the theoretical value. The inventor finds that if the theoretical amount of concentrated sulfuric acid is too low, the cobalt content of the slag is high, the decomposition rate of cobalt is low, and if the theoretical amount of sulfuric acid is too high, the chemical agent sulfuric acid is wasted, and the decomposition cost is high. The theoretical value of the concentrated sulfuric acid is calculated according to the following formula: the molecular weight of sulfuric acid x the weight of tungsten carbide waste x (1-oil mass-water mass) x the mass of cobalt/the molecular weight of cobalt/0.98. Further, the solid-to-liquid ratio in the obtained mixed slurry is 1: (3-10), preferably 1: (4-6). The inventor finds that if the solid-liquid ratio of the mixed slurry is too high, the single batch processing capacity is large, the energy consumption is high, and the decomposition cost is high, and if the solid-liquid ratio of the mixed slurry is too low, the cobalt content of the slag is high, and the decomposition rate of the cobalt is low.
S200: subjecting the mixed slurry to high pressure oxygen leaching treatment

In the present invention, the hyperbaric oxygen leaching reaction is usually carried out under stirring, specifically, the temperature is raised to the reaction temperature, oxygen is blown in to ensure the oxygen partial pressure is not changed, and the reaction is kept at a constant temperature until the material is discharged. The conditions of the high-pressure oxygen leaching reaction comprise that the rotating speed is 150-500 r/min, and preferably 300-400 r/min; the reaction temperature is 100-200 ℃, and preferably 130-160 ℃; the oxygen pressure is 0.5-2.0 MPa, preferably 1.0-1.5 MPa; the reaction time is 1-12 h, preferably 6-10 h. The inventor finds that if the temperature is too high, the energy consumption is high, the decomposition cost is high, and if the temperature is too low, the cobalt content in the slag is high, and the decomposition rate of the cobalt is low; meanwhile, the reaction time is too long, the energy consumption is high, the decomposition cost is high, the time is too short, the cobalt content in the slag is high, and the decomposition rate of the cobalt is low; in addition, if the reaction rotating speed is too high, the equipment is loaded, the requirement on the equipment is high, the cost is high, and if the rotating speed is too low, the contact between oxygen and materials is not easy, the cobalt content in the slag is high, and the decomposition rate of the cobalt is low. Thus, the decomposition rate of cobalt in the tungsten carbide scrap can be increased while the cost is reduced under the reaction conditions. In the present invention, the pressures are gauge pressures.
S300: subjecting the oxygen extract to solid-liquid separation
In the step, the obtained oxygen immersion liquid is subjected to solid-liquid separation treatment to obtain a cobalt sulfate solution and tungsten carbide. The oxygen immersion liquid is preferably supplied from the high-pressure oxygen immersion step to the solid-liquid separation step by a material-pumping pump. Specifically, the obtained oxygen leaching solution is subjected to solid-liquid separation treatment, the obtained filter residue is washed by hot water, a washing solution is added into the filtrate to obtain a cobalt sulfate solution and a filter residue containing tungsten carbide, and the cobalt sulfate solution remained in the filter residue can be washed cleanly by washing, so that the recovery rate is improved. It should be noted that the solid-liquid separation mode is any technology capable of realizing solid-liquid separation in the prior art, for example, a plate-and-frame filter pressing, a filtration, and the like, and details are not described here.
According to the method for recovering the tungsten carbide and the cobalt sulfate from the tungsten carbide waste material, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the tungsten and cobalt elements in the tungsten carbide waste material can be effectively recovered, the recovery rate is high, and the cobalt recovery rate is up to more than 97%.
