Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrochemical metallurgy, in particular to a preparation method of electrolytic manganese dioxide.
Background
Electrolytic manganese dioxide is used as a positive electrode active material for primary zinc-manganese batteries, particularly alkaline-manganese dry batteries. Conventionally, a dry battery suitable for applications requiring high-rate discharge (large discharge current), i.e., a dry battery having excellent high-rate discharge characteristics, has been demanded. However, due to the recent requirements for power saving and energy saving and environmental protection of portable electronic devices, dry batteries requiring medium-rate discharge (medium discharge current) and low-rate discharge (small discharge current) are required as compared with high-rate discharge. Accordingly, electrolytic manganese dioxide excellent in medium-rate discharge and low-rate discharge characteristics has been demanded.
In the existing industrial production of electrolytic manganese dioxide, under a high temperature state, an aqueous solution of manganese sulfate and sulfuric acid is used as an electrolyte, pure titanium or a titanium-manganese alloy is used as an anode, copper, graphite or a lead alloy is used as a cathode, and electrolytic manganese dioxide is precipitated on the anode through direct current electrolysis.
The electrolysis mechanism is generally considered:
Mn 2+ ＝Mn 3+ +e
Mn 3+ ＝Mn 4+ +e
Mn 4+ +2H 2 O＝MnO 2 +4H +
as a method for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide, "clear electrolysis method" is known in which electrolysis is carried out without adding other materials to an electrolyte, and substantially a trace amount of MnO is suspended in the electrolyte 2 Particles of this MnO 2 The particles are generated by the disproportionation reaction of the electrolytic process, which is one of the commonly used methods, and is currently used by almost all electrolytic manganese dioxide manufacturers.
Another commonly used method is an electrolytic method in which manganese oxide particles (patent nos. CN95118783 and CN 104136662B) or other particles (CN 94116718.6) are added to an electrolytic solution and suspended, which is contrary to the above method, and this method is called a suspension electrolytic method, which has been used in JMC in japan but has been stopped, and which has been used in large scale by electrolytic manganese dioxide manufacturers in china, but has been totally abandoned.

Electrolytic manganese dioxideHaving a diameter of less than 30m 2 BET specific surface area in g (less than 27 m) 2 Preferably/g) and a degree of suspension of less than 50mg/L. The method for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide according to the present invention may be a suspension method, a clarification method, and alternately a suspension method and a clarification method. Whether in suspension or clarification, the anodic current density can be periodically switched between two or more values within a defined range.

No. 6,527,941) teaches an improved method for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide with high discharge capacity at high discharge rates by maintaining an aqueous electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid and manganese sulfate at a high temperature in an electrolytic cell. The main characteristics of the method are high acidity, low manganese sulfate concentration and low current density, and the defects are that the yield is low, and the cell voltage is high and difficult to control.
Davis (Gillette patent U.S. Pat. No. 6,585,881B) proposes a process for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide at high temperatures having a high discharge capacity at high discharge rates, characterized by a high electrolysis temperature (. Gtoreq.1100C) and the disadvantages of too harsh conditions and difficult industrialization.
Although the prior art has been studied on the electrolytic manganese dioxide clarification method, the following problems exist: 1. the clarification method in the prior art is not strictly clear in nature, and trace MnO is naturally suspended in the electrolyte 2 Particles of this MnO 2 The particles are generated due to disproportionation reaction in the electrolytic process, the electrolytic product is uneven and is a mixture, the discharge performance of medium-rate (medium current) and low-rate (small current) is good, the discharge capacity of high-rate (large current) is lower, the hardness of the product is larger, and the abrasion of a mold is larger during the manufacturing of the battery; 2. the manganese oxide particles or other particles are artificially added into the electrolytic solution by a suspension method, so that the high-rate (large current) and medium-rate (medium current) discharge capacity can be improved, but the low-rate (small current) discharge capacity is lower, the hardness is higher, the die abrasion is large during the battery manufacturing, and the battery production efficiency is reduced; 3. other electrolytic manganese dioxide manufacturing methods have good laboratory effects, but are difficult to industrialize.
Electrolytic manganese dioxide is used as a positive electrode active material for primary batteries, particularly for alkaline manganese dry batteries. Conventionally, a dry battery suitable for applications requiring high-rate discharge (large discharge current), i.e., a dry battery having excellent high-rate discharge characteristics, has been demanded.
However, due to the recent requirements for power saving and energy saving and environmental protection of portable electronic devices, dry batteries requiring medium-rate discharge (medium discharge current) and low-rate discharge (small discharge current) are required as compared with high-rate discharge. Accordingly, electrolytic manganese dioxide excellent in medium-rate discharge and low-rate discharge characteristics has been demanded.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide that can obtain high discharge capacity at the time of medium-rate discharge and low-rate discharge and can achieve high discharge capacity at the same time.

Detailed Description
The present invention is described in more detail below to facilitate an understanding of the present invention.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that: the chemical reactions described herein may be used to suitably prepare a number of other compounds of the invention, and other methods for preparing the compounds of the invention are considered to be within the scope of the invention. For example, the synthesis of those non-exemplified compounds according to the present invention can be successfully accomplished by those skilled in the art by modification, such as appropriate protection of interfering groups, by the use of other known reagents in addition to those described herein, or by some routine modification of reaction conditions. In addition, the reactions disclosed herein or known reaction conditions are also recognized as being applicable to the preparation of other compounds of the present invention.
Hereinafter, a method for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide of the present invention will be described.
In the method for manufacturing electrolytic manganese dioxide by adding a flocculating agent into a sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution, the flocculating agent is continuously added into the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution to ensure that the concentration of the flocculating agent in the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution is 10-50 mg/L and the flocculating agent is added into the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solutionThe sulfuric acid concentration of the electrolyte is 30-80 g/L, and the electrolytic current density is 0.4-0.8A/dm 2 The electrolytic manganese dioxide of the present invention can be produced by performing electrolysis.
The method of the present invention is a method of producing electrolytic manganese dioxide by adding a flocculant to an electrolytic solution. Therefore, a method for producing electrolytic manganese dioxide or a so-called clarification electrolysis method, in which an electrolytic solution containing substantially no flocculant is electrolyzed, is different from a method for electrolyzing a sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution containing no flocculant. Electrolytic manganese dioxide excellent in performance in which the porous structure, crystal structure and BET specific surface area are controlled can be produced by carrying out an electrolytic process in which a flocculant is added. On the basis of the method, the surface structure and the electrolytic current efficiency of the product are improved compared with a clarification electrolytic method without adding a flocculating agent. Further, in clarification electrolysis, physical properties of electrolytic manganese dioxide deposited in the electrolytic process tend to be uneven, and BET surface areas of the respective portions of the electrode are different, for example.
The manufacturing method of the invention continuously adds the flocculating agent into the mixed solution of sulfuric acid and manganese sulfate. Thus, the concentration of the flocculant added to the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution during electrolysis can be stabilized, and the electrolytic manganese dioxide manufacturing method can be used for electrolyzing an electrolyte solution containing a flocculant with a certain concentration during electrolysis. This makes the physical properties, particularly the state of pores, of the electrolytic manganese dioxide obtained throughout the electrolysis uniform.
As a method of continuously adding a flocculant to a sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution, the following method may be used: adding a flocculating agent to dissolve the mixture to prepare a concentrated solution with a certain proportion, and then adding the concentrated solution into the electrolyte replenishing solution according to a set proportion.
Adding a flocculating agent into the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution, wherein the flocculating agent is nonionic.
Adding flocculant into the mixed solution of sulfuric acid and manganese sulfate, wherein the molecular weight of the flocculant is 1200-1800 ten thousand.
The concentration of the flocculant added into the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution is 10-50 mg/L.
In the range of the electrolytic current density of the production method of the present invention, if the concentration of the flocculant is higher than 50mg/L, the effect is the same as that of the flocculant at 10 to 50mg/L, and the quality of the electrolytic manganese dioxide obtained is not changed.
On the other hand, if the concentration of the flocculant is less than 10mg/L, the effect of adding the flocculant to the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution cannot be obtained.
The sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution used in the production method of the present invention has a sulfuric acid concentration of 30 to 80g/L. By setting the sulfuric acid concentration of the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution within this range, the electrolytic manganese dioxide obtained is excellent in performance.
The electrolytic current density of the production method of the present invention is 0.4 to 0.8A/dm 2 . At the flocculant concentration in the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution of the invention, if the electrolytic current density is less than 0.4A/dm 2 When the BET surface area of electrolytic manganese dioxide is too low, the volume of mesopores effective for the discharge reaction becomes too small, or the alkaline potential of electrolytic manganese dioxide tends to be lowered.
On the other hand, when the electrolytic current density becomes too high at the flocculant concentration in the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution of the present invention, the BET specific surface area of the electrolytic manganese dioxide becomes large, the volume of the mesopores contributing to the discharge reaction becomes too large, or the alkaline potential becomes liable to decrease. Therefore, the electrolytic current density of the production method of the present invention is preferably 0.80A/dm 2 The following. In the present invention, the electrolytic current density refers to the electrolytic current density of the anode plate.
The concentration of manganese sulfate in the electrolyte replenishment solution in the present invention is not limited, and may be, for example, 85g/L or more and 105g/L or less.
As the electrolysis temperature is higher, the quality of electrolytic manganese dioxide is higher and the production efficiency tends to be higher. As an example of a suitable electrolysis temperature, electrolytic manganese dioxide having the most excellent properties at 95 ℃ to 99 ℃ is given.
The production method of the present invention may further include the following steps: and 1 of any one of a crushing and grinding process, a rinsing process and a neutralizing process.
In the crushing and grinding step, any method of changing the electrolytic manganese dioxide to any particle size can be used, but impurities other than a small amount of iron are not introduced.
In the rinsing step, electrolytic manganese dioxide obtained by electrolysis is washed to remove the adhering electrolyte solution and the like. Examples of the washing method include immersing electrolytic manganese dioxide in a water bath or a warm water bath.
In the neutralization step, electrolytic manganese dioxide is immersed in an aqueous alkali metal solution or the like, and the pH of electrolytic manganese dioxide can be adjusted.
The electrolytic manganese dioxide produced by the invention can be used as the positive electrode active material of primary batteries such as alkaline zinc-manganese batteries and the like.
The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Referring to FIG. 1, the deposition of electrolytic manganese dioxide BET ((unit: m) in each part of the anode (example 4vs, comparative example 4) is shown 2 /g)) comparison of area change, the method of manufacturing electrolytic manganese dioxide by adding a flocculant to an electrolyte in the example of the present invention is different from the method of electrolyzing a sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution without using a flocculant, that is, the example of the present invention is different from the method of electrolyzing an electric cell without adding a flocculant to the electrolytic cellThe "clarification electrolysis method" for decomposing manganese dioxide is different. In this example, electrolytic manganese dioxide excellent in the ability to control the pore structure, crystal structure and BET specific surface area was produced by electrolytic method with flocculant. On the basis of the method, the surface structure and the electrolytic current efficiency of the product are improved compared with a clarification electrolytic method without adding a flocculating agent. In the "clarification electrolysis method" which is a general concept, physical properties of electrolytic manganese dioxide deposited during electrolysis tend to be uneven, and BET surface areas of the respective portions of the electrode are different, for example.
Specifically, in the examples of the present invention, the production method of the present invention continuously added a flocculant to a sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution. Thus, the concentration of the flocculant added to the sulfuric acid-manganese sulfate mixed solution in the electrolytic process can be stabilized, and the electrolytic manganese dioxide manufacturing method can be used for electrolyzing the electrolyte containing the flocculant added at a certain concentration in the electrolytic process. This makes the physical properties, particularly the state of pores, of the electrolytic manganese dioxide obtained throughout the electrolysis uniform.
The foregoing describes preferred embodiments of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the invention thereto. Modifications and variations of the embodiments disclosed herein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
