The first purpose of the invention is to provide a method for preparing a titanium-rich material, which comprises the steps of crushing molten titanium slag by adopting a water quenching process, changing the phase structure of the titanium slag by utilizing the characteristic of extremely-fast cooling, converting the black titanium stone in the titanium slag into a rutile phase, deteriorating the acid solubility of titanium, and converting impurities such as calcium, aluminum and the like into Ca with good acid solubility3Al2O6Then removing impurities by acid leaching-oxidizing roasting-reducing roasting-acid leaching process, and obtaining the content of CaO less than or equal to 0.15 wt%And CaO + MgO accounts for less than or equal to 1.5 wt.% of the high-quality titanium-rich material. Solves the problems that the high-calcium magnesium titanium concentrate can not be directly prepared to obtain the qualified titanium white chloride raw material and the high-calcium magnesium titanium concentrate is difficult to utilize in the prior art.
The second purpose of the invention is to provide a method for preparing titanium tetrachloride, and the high-quality titanium-rich material which is prepared by adopting a specific method and has low impurity content and proper granularity can be directly used for producing titanium tetrachloride by a boiling chlorination method, thereby being beneficial to mass production.
In order to achieve the above purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:
the invention provides a preparation method of a titanium-rich material, which comprises the following steps:
(a) mixing molten titanium slag obtained by mixing and smelting the titanium concentrate and the reducing agent with water quenching liquid, and performing water quenching to obtain water quenched slag;
(b) acid leaching the water-quenched slag, and then carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain acid-leached titanium slag;
(c) sequentially carrying out oxidizing roasting and reducing roasting on the acid-leached titanium slag to obtain a roasted material, carrying out acid leaching on the roasted material, and then carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain the titanium-rich material;
wherein the water quenching liquid comprises at least one of water, alkali solution and ferrous chloride solution;
the mass fraction of CaO in the titanium-rich material is less than or equal to 0.15 percent, and the sum of the mass fractions of CaO and MgO is less than or equal to 1.5 percent.
Compared with the traditional mode of producing titanium slag by slowly cooling titanium slag, the preparation method of the titanium-rich material provided by the invention carries out water quenching on the molten titanium slag, the water quenching process is to shock and quench the high-temperature molten titanium slag by a large amount of high-pressure water quenching liquid, the high-temperature molten titanium slag can be exploded into small-particle water-quenched slag due to the dual effects of the high-pressure water quenching liquid impact and the cooling internal stress on the molten titanium slag, and the phase of the water-quenched slag can be changed due to the rapid cooling.
The invention mixes the titanium concentrate and the reducing agent for smelting, and the molten titanium slag obtained after smelting has the following main phases: titanium black stone, talcite, siliceous vitreous body, calcium is mainly present in the siliceous vitreous body. In the water quenching process, the black titanium stone can be rutile, but the titanium is not leached basically, the original size fraction can be kept, and the titanium yield is effectively ensured.
The invention can change the phase structure of the molten titanium slag through water quenching, and promote part of the black titanium stone in the titanium slag to be converted into rutile TiO type2And contains a large amount of glass (glass means a solid matter which is not crystallized, is in an unstable state, and has high chemical activity). The main reasons why the water-quenched slag contains a large amount of glass are as follows: the high-temperature liquid molten titanium slag is rapidly cooled by high-pressure water, so that atoms or ions in the slag are not as good as to form regularly arranged crystal substances, and the slag is solidified to form glass.
After molten titanium slag is water quenched, the schorl in the titanium slag is converted into rutile phase, and impurities in the titanium slag such as calcium, aluminum and the like can be converted into Ca with good acid solubility3Al2O6And the acid solubility of the titanium is deteriorated, most of calcium and aluminum in the titanium slag are dissociated from the silicate phase to form calcium-aluminum compounds, so that the acid solubility of impurity calcium is greatly improved, and the subsequent acid leaching and impurity removal are facilitated.
In the acid leaching process, acid-soluble glass such as Ca3Al2O6The calcium and the aluminum react with acid liquor, the calcium and the aluminum are leached by an acid leaching method, the aim of obviously reducing the content of impurities such as calcium, aluminum and the like in the titanium slag can be realized under relatively mild acid leaching conditions, and meanwhile, the titanium loss can be reduced by avoiding the dissolution of titanium.
In addition, the invention adopts a water quenching process to crush the molten titanium slag, and the qualified grain size of the crushed titanium slag can reach more than 90 percent and is far higher than the qualified grain size of the traditional crushing. In addition, the titanium concentrate is processed into titanium slag, and then the titanium slag is smelted, water quenched and crushed to qualified granularity to prepare the titanium-rich material for boiling chlorination, so that the problem of product pulverization can be fundamentally solved.
By adopting the oxidation roasting and reduction roasting processes, because the rutile exists at the earlier stage, the oxidation roasting-reduction roasting is beneficial to the growth of the rutile, and the titanium dissolution in the subsequent acid leaching process is greatly inhibited. Meanwhile, because the water quenching and the acid leaching pretreatment (in the step (b)) are carried out in the earlier stage, the temperature range of the subsequent oxidation and reduction roasting is greatly reduced.
In conclusion, the invention utilizes the water quenching process to change the phase structure of the titanium slag and change impurities such as calcium, aluminum and the like into acid-soluble compounds; meanwhile, the acid leaching-oxidation-reduction-acid leaching process is adopted, so that the acid leaching rate of calcium is over 90 percent, and the prepared titanium-rich material product has low impurity content and proper granularity, and is more beneficial to producing titanium tetrachloride by a boiling chlorination method. In addition, the water quenching process also greatly shortens the period of cooling and crushing the titanium slag, reduces the temperature of subsequent oxidizing roasting and reducing roasting, saves time and reduces cost.
In some embodiments of the invention, the water quenching is performed in a granulation tower.
The preparation method of the titanium-rich material provided by the invention comprises the following steps of:
water quenching: part of the black titanium stone in the molten titanium slag is oxidized into rutile TiO2Calcium, aluminium, etc. forming a glass, e.g. Ca3Al2O6。
Acid leaching in step (b): the contents of calcium and aluminum in the titanium slag are reduced through acid liquor leaching, and the main chemical reactions are as follows: ca3Al2O6+12H+=3Ca2++2Al3++H2O。
Step (c) oxidizing roasting and reducing roasting: the acid-leaching titanium slag is subjected to oxidation roasting and reduction roasting treatment, so that the structure of the titanium slag can be damaged, and a porous structure is formed, thereby being beneficial to subsequent acid leaching for removing impurities such as iron, magnesium and the like.
In addition, when the water quenching liquid is alkaline liquor, a part of silicon and aluminum in the titanium slag can react with the alkali to generate a substance which is easy to dissolve in water, so that impurity elements can be removed; when the ferrous chloride solution is selected, a part of soluble impurity elements such as iron, calcium, magnesium and the like in the titanium slag can be removed in a small amount because the ferrous chloride solution is acidic.

Comparative example 1
The preparation method of the titanium-rich material provided by the comparative example is basically the same as the example, and the difference is that in the step (2), water quenching is not carried out, but the molten titanium slag is cooled, crushed and sieved, so that the traditional titanium slag with the granularity controlled to be 20-160 meshes is obtained.
The conventional titanium slag and the titanium-rich material prepared by the comparative example have the following compositions in Table 7, wherein TFe refers to the total iron content.

It can be seen that the mass fraction of CaO in the titanium-rich material prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention is less than or equal to 0.15%, and the sum of the mass fractions of CaO and MgO is less than or equal to 1.5%. In addition, the content of magnesium oxide and the content of calcium oxide in the titanium-rich materials in the examples 1-5 are lower than those in the comparative example 1, and particularly, the content of calcium oxide is remarkably lower than that in the comparative example 1.
Experimental example 1
XRD and SEM tests were performed on the water-quenched slag obtained in example 1 and the conventional titanium slag obtained in comparative example 1, respectively, and micrographs thereof were taken, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 and tables 8 to 9.
Specifically, fig. 2 is an XRD pattern of the conventional titanium slag prepared in comparative example 1; FIG. 3 is an SEM photograph of a conventional titanium slag obtained in comparative example 1; FIG. 4 is a photomicrograph of a conventional titanium slag obtained in comparative example 1; FIG. 5 is an XRD pattern of the water-quenched slag obtained in example 1; FIG. 6 is an SEM photograph of water-quenched slag obtained in example 1; FIG. 7 is a microphotograph of the water-quenched slag obtained in example 1. Table 8 shows the results of elemental analysis of the conventional titanium slag SEM corresponding to FIG. 3, and Table 9 shows the results of elemental analysis of the water-quenched slag SEM corresponding to FIG. 6.

As can be seen from fig. 2 and 5, the XRD peak of the water-quenched slag was low, which indicates that the water-quenched slag contained a high content of vitreous material. Vitreous is a solid substance that is not crystallized, is in an unstable state, and has a high chemical activity. The main reason that the water-quenched slag contains a large amount of vitreous is that molten titanium slag of a high-temperature liquid high-titanium electric furnace is rapidly cooled by high-pressure water quenching liquid, so that atoms or ions in the titanium slag are not as good as to form regularly arranged crystal substances, and the molten titanium slag is solidified to form the vitreous.
As can be seen from tables 8 and 9 above, the Al-Si-Ca minerals are present in both of the titanium slags, but the ratio of the Al-Si-Ca minerals is very different, and the conventional titanium slag obtained in comparative example 1 has about 1:5:1.7 of Al-Si-Ca minerals, while the water-quenched slag obtained in example 1 has about 1:1.6:0.5 of Al-Si-Ca minerals. This shows that the water quenching process makes the traditional glass phase of the titanium slag transformed, and a part of the titanium slag is formed into glass with good acid solubility, which is beneficial to the subsequent leaching.
As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 7, the two titanium slags also have obvious differences in particle shapes, and the conventional titanium slag prepared in comparative example 1 is produced by mechanical crushing and has obvious sections; the water quenching slag prepared in the embodiment 1 has a very smooth surface, most of which have a streamline surface, and the smooth and streamline surface can make the water quenching slag have stronger hydrophilicity in the acid leaching process, thereby enhancing the acid leaching capability.
In addition, the degree of dissociation of the aluminum-silicon-calcium mineral monomer in the water-quenched slag obtained in example 1 was high, whereas the aluminum-silicon-calcium mineral coexisted with the titanium mineral in the conventional titanium slag obtained in comparative example 1.
The phase difference between the water-quenched slag obtained in example 1 and the conventional titanium slag obtained in comparative example 1 is shown in Table 10 below.
