Firstly, grinding tantalum-niobium concentrate in a vibrating nodular graphite to a certain granularity; decomposing the ground concentrate in a decomposition tank with steam heating or water bath heating: firstly, adding hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid, then gradually concentrating, and simultaneously carrying out mechanical stirring, wherein the decomposition temperature is above 80 ℃; the purpose of adding sulfuric acid is to intensify decomposition reaction, reduce the degree of ore breakage, shorten reaction time, and partially replace expensive hydrofluoric acid, and the addition of sulfuric acid is very beneficial to tantalum-niobium purification and tantalum-niobium separation during later extraction.
The acid decomposition action, in addition to transferring Ta and Nb to the liquid phase, also consists in adjusting the pH of the solution to the acidity required for extraction. The process has the advantages that the ore decomposition reaction is complete by controlling the acidity, the residual quantity of Ta and Nb in slag is reduced, the metal recovery rate of the process is improved, and the economic benefit is improved. Meanwhile, by enhancing filtration, harmful impurities such as suspended solid particles or 'soluble' silicic acid and the like in a liquid phase are removed as much as possible, emulsification in the next extraction process is prevented, and smooth extraction is ensured. Separating the decomposed liquid from the residue by filtration. And adjusting the acidity of the filtrate and the concentration of tantalum and niobium, and then performing extraction separation.
In the acid decomposition process, the ratio of tantalum to niobium to H is respectively2TaF7、H2NbF7And H2NbOF5The form of the iron-manganese-tungsten alloy enters the solution, and simultaneously, a large amount of impurities such as iron, manganese, titanium, tungsten and the like enter the solution. Impurities such as rare earth, calcium, magnesium and the like enter the residue in the form of insoluble fluorides. During the decomposition process, the radioactive elements uranium and thorium in the ore enter the residue in the form of uranium fluoride and thorium fluoride in most part, and the other part is UO2 2+And Th4+And the complex ion form enters into decomposition liquid, which are sources of excessive radioactivity in the production wastewater.
At present, tantalum-niobium hydrometallurgy at home and abroad adopts chemical conditions of high-concentration hydrofluoric acid or high-concentration hydrofluoric acid-concentrated sulfuric acid to decompose ores. In the process of decomposing the tantalum-niobium concentrate with the concentrated hydrofluoric acid, not only the atmosphere environment is seriously polluted due to the volatilization of HF (hydrofluoric acid), but also a large amount of fluorine-containing wastewater is generated in the decomposition process, the wastewater is usually treated by a precipitation method, and a large amount of waste liquid generated in the treatment process generates huge pollution to water and soil. And the fluorine ion content in the wastewater is controlled to be less than 0.001g/L for multiple times of wastewater treatment before the wastewater is discharged. High treatment cost, low resource utilization, long process flow for treating wastewater, difficult one-time treatment qualification and poor effect.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following examples do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. But merely as exemplifications of systems and methods consistent with certain aspects of the application, as recited in the claims.
Referring to fig. 1, the application provides a schematic flow chart of a method for treating tantalum-niobium hydrometallurgy wastewater.
The application provides a method for treating tantalum-niobium hydrometallurgy wastewater, which comprises the following steps:
crushing the tantalum-niobium ore to 300 meshes, carrying out first acid treatment at the temperature of 20-50 ℃, and reacting for 24-48 h.
After reacting for 24-48h, filtering the acid liquor containing the tantalum-niobium ore to obtain supernatant, and performing secondary acid treatment on the filtered tantalum-niobium ore to obtain a solid and a reaction liquid; the acid is dilute sulfuric acid or dilute hydrochloric acid with the mass fraction of 10%, and the volume ratio of the tantalum niobium ore to the acid is 1 (2-4).
In practical application, elements such as uranium, thorium, radium and the like are separated from tantalum-niobium ore by pre-decomposition, and diluted acid is used for carrying out multiple treatment, so that iron, manganese, aluminum and the like in the ore are changed into soluble sulfate. Radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, radium and the like in the ore are also dissolved in the sulfuric acid solution. Has higher metal decomposition conversion rate. Hydrofluoric acid is traditionally used for decomposition, the decomposition rate of the hydrofluoric acid method is only about 85%, HF volatilization loss is 6-7% in the concentrate decomposition process, the average acid consumption for treating 1t of tantalum-niobium ore is about 4t, and the high toxicity and strong corrosivity of the hydrofluoric acid have high requirements on equipment materials and require a good ventilation device and a good recovery system. The diluted acid is used for multiple decomposition, and the method has the advantages of high conversion rate, safety, greenness and the like.
Adjusting the reaction solution to be acidic by using water or an alkaline solution to enable the pH value of the reaction solution to be 1-1.5, controlling the fluorine ions of the reaction solution to be less than or equal to 1g/L, and filtering to obtain a filtrate; wherein the alkaline solution is sodium hydroxide aqueous solution or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution.
In practical application, after filtering out residues, diluting the solution with water, hydrolyzing the sulfate of alkaline earth metal elements to generate precipitates, and after separating the precipitates, controlling different pH values to separate out pure tantalum-niobium hydroxide solutions through precipitation respectively.
In practical application, saturated lime water solution can be used for regulating acid, and the acidity value of the solution is regulated to 1-1.5 so as to precipitate most of residual fluorine ions in the wastewater solution, so that the fluorine ions are less than or equal to 1 g/L; wherein the consumption of lime is 400-500 kg/cubic meter of wastewater.
And (4) passing the filtrate through a nanofiltration membrane system, and screening the filtrate.
In practical applications, the filtrate is passed through the nanofiltration membrane system because the nanofiltration membrane system has monovalent ion selectivity. The nanofiltration membrane system comprises an electrodialysis subsystem and a reverse osmosis subsystem, ammonium sulfate in filtrate can be concentrated by using the nanofiltration membrane system, and ammonium fluoride remained in the ammonium sulfate can be further removed by a monovalent ion selective membrane in the electrodialysis subsystem.
Feeding the screened filtrate into an extraction separation tank, and extracting by adopting a solvent extraction method to obtain an organic phase containing uranium and thorium and a water phase containing radium; the extractant comprises P204, TBP and kerosene, wherein the volume fractions of the P204, the TBP and the kerosene are respectively 20%, 15% and 65%; the extraction phase was 1: 2, the extraction stage number is 3; and a surfactant is also added in the extraction process, wherein the surfactant is a carbon fatty alcohol polyoxyalkylene ether or polyethylene glycol type nonionic surfactant.
In practical application, a solvent extraction method is adopted to separate uranium and thorium in a solution. Respectively obtaining an organic phase containing uranium and thorium and a water phase containing radium. The extraction belongs to a synergistic extraction system, and the reaction mechanism is an addition reaction. The phase ratio using extraction was 1: 2, the extraction grade is 3 grades, so that the extraction rate of uranium and thorium can reach more than 99 percent.
The nonionic surfactant is used in practical applications because it has high surface activity, good solubilizing, washing, antistatic, lime soap dispersing and other properties, low irritation, and excellent wetting and washing functions. The pH value range of the surfactant can be wider than that of the common ionic surfactant, and the surfactant can also be used together with other ionic surfactants, and the surfactant of the system can be improved by adding a small amount of nonionic surfactant into the ionic surfactant.
The polyoxyethylene ether nonionic surfactants with strong functions and high cost performance in the market mainly comprise four types of primary alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO), secondary alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (SEO), branched isomeric Guerbet alcohol ether (ISO-AEO) and Alkylphenol Polyoxyethylene Ether (APEO), and the four types of nonionic surfactants have advantages. Among them, AEO has the characteristics of low foamability, strong dispersing ability, and increased hydrophilicity with the increase of EO content, and has become the most rapidly developed nonionic surfactant, but its disadvantage is also obvious, i.e., the viscosity is high in aqueous solution, and a gel is easily generated, so that it is generally solved by adding sorbitol and ethylene glycol. Compared with AEO, the other three nonionic surfactants have less outstanding characteristics, but have less obvious defects and are also favored due to lower production cost. For example, SEO, ISO-AEO and APEO all have the characteristics of high fluidity, low viscosity, low pour point, narrow gel distribution, high permeability and the like, and the skin irritation of SEO, ISO-AEO and APEO is lower than that of AEO, and the SEO, ISO-AEO and APEO also are one of the advantages of the three types of nonionic surfactants.
The basic production principle of the polyol ester nonionic surfactant is that the polyol and fatty acid are directly subjected to esterification reaction, and the surfactant generally does not have a cleaning function, but has unique characteristics, so that the polyol ester nonionic surfactant is widely applied to some special production fields. Such as glycerides, are not substantially soluble in water due to their low HLB and are therefore often used in food emulsifiers and additives.
Carrying out back extraction on the organic phase by using 5mol/L NaOH as a stripping agent; wherein, compared with 1:1, the back extraction stage is 3 stages.
And filtering the back-extracted solution to obtain a precipitate, and drying and storing the precipitate.
In practical application, the precipitate obtained by filtering the strip liquor is dried and stored in a slag storage (containing radioactive elements uranium and thorium). The organic phase and the stripping solution can be recycled.
Putting the water phase into a reaction tank, and adding BaCl2Stirring and reacting for 4-8 h.
Stirring for 4-8h, and adding coagulation agent Fe2(SO4)3Stirring for 1-2 h; the BaCl2The dosage of the Fe is 250-300 g/cubic meter of wastewater2(SO4)3The dosage is 250-350 g/cubic meter of wastewater.
The chemical reaction formula is as follows: ra2++Ba2++SO4 2-=Ba(Ra)SO4And ↓, ferric sulfate is used as coagulation agent to accelerate the coagulation effect of Ba (Ra) SO 4.
Because the waste water produced by smelting the tantalum-niobium mineral contains natural uranium, thorium and daughter 226Ra, 228Ra and 224Ra thereof, wherein 226Ra and 224Ra are alpha emitters,
228Ra is a beta emitter and many of these radium isotopes remain in solution after the lime milk neutralization precipitation and extraction process. The chemical properties of barium and radium are similar, so that barium sulfate radium co-crystallization co-precipitation can be formed. Through barium sulfate precipitation, the content of radium in the solution can be effectively reduced, so that the total alpha and beta radioactivity levels in the wastewater are obviously reduced.
Filtering the water phase in the reaction tank, standing, and adding sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH value to 6-8.
In practical application, the pH value of the wastewater in the reaction tank is adjusted to 6-8 to be neutral by using sodium hydroxide, and the wastewater can be discharged according with the national discharge standard.
And decomposing the pre-decomposed substances by using hydrofluoric acid, and entering a wet extraction system.
