The embodiment of the application provides a method for extracting cobalt from cobalt iron slag, which comprises the following steps:
s10: taking cobalt iron slag and ammonium sulfate solution to carry out leaching reaction, then adding an ammonia water complexing agent to carry out complex reaction, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain the cobalt (NH) containing 3 ) x (OH) y Ammonia water, filtrate of ammonium sulfate and low-cobalt iron slag;
s20: carrying out acid washing reaction on the low-cobalt iron slag to obtain cobalt washing liquid;
s30: and carrying out cobalt precipitation reaction on the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex and the cobalt washing solution in an alkaline environment, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a cobalt hydroxide precipitate.
According to the method for extracting cobalt from cobalt-iron slag provided by the embodiment of the application, firstly, the cobalt is dissolved from the cobalt-iron slag by adopting ammonium sulfate to obtain a solution containing cobalt sulfate, then a complexing agent is added to control the alkaline pH value of a reaction system, so that cobalt ions and the complexing agent are subjected to a complexing reaction to form a cobalt-ammonia complex, and a filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex, ammonia water and ammonium sulfate and low-cobalt-iron slag containing lower cobalt are obtained after filtration; in the step, most of cobalt can be separated from the cobalt-iron slag only by adding ammonium sulfate and a complexing agent in sequence, the process is simple, and all reagents are few; secondly, acid washing is carried out on the low-cobalt iron slag by using dilute sulfuric acid, so that cobalt can be further dissolved from the low-cobalt iron slag, and the obtained cobalt washing liquid can be recycled as one of the products and can also be used for subsequently adjusting the pH value of a cobalt precipitation reaction system, thereby further improving the recovery rate of cobalt in the cobalt iron slag; thirdly, adding cobalt washing liquid into the solution containing the cobalt-ammonia complex to adjust the alkaline pH value of the reaction system to a target value, so that the cobalt-ammonia complex is completely converted into cobalt hydroxide precipitate, and the final product is extracted in the form of cobalt hydroxide. The method only needs to control the conditions of pH value, temperature, time and the like of a reaction system to leach the cobalt, and the leached cobalt is subjected to a complex reaction to separate the cobalt from the cobalt-iron slag in a cobalt-ammonia complex form, so that the aim of reducing the content of the cobalt in the cobalt-iron slag is fulfilled; meanwhile, the stability of the formed cobalt-ammonia complex is poor, the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex can be converted into the cobalt hydroxide precipitate by controlling the cobalt precipitation condition, and simultaneously, the ammonia in the solution can be recycled. In step S10, as an embodiment of the present application, a method for obtaining a filtrate containing a cobalt-ammonia complex and a low-cobalt iron slag includes the following steps: taking cobalt-iron slag and ammonium sulfate to carry out leaching reaction to obtain a solution containing cobalt sulfate; adding a complexing agent into the solution containing cobalt sulfate to adjust the pH value of the reaction system to a first target alkaline pH value for complexing reaction, and after solid-liquid separation, obtaining a filtrate containing a cobalt-ammonia complex and low-cobalt iron slag. Specifically, the complexing agent is ammonia water.
The method mainly aims at the problem that cobalt content of cobalt iron slag generated in the cobalt hydrometallurgy process is high, and the purpose of reducing the cobalt content of the cobalt iron slag is achieved by extracting cobalt through a complexation method. Because iron compounds in the cobalt iron slag have a certain adsorption effect on cobalt in the solution during iron removal, cobalt entering the iron slag is difficult to leach out by using high-concentration sulfuric acid, the recovery difficulty of the cobalt is high, and further increased reaction conditions such as acidity, reaction temperature and the like often cause leaching of iron in the cobalt iron slag (the iron slag begins to dissolve into the solution when the pH value is less than 1), so that the aim of reducing cobalt content in the slag cannot be achieved in an acidic system. While the present application utilizes Co 2+ Has a certain complexing effect with ammonia water, fe 3+ Without complexing, by controlling pH, temperature, pressure, NH 4 + The concentration of the cobalt in the cobalt iron slag reaches the aim of selectively leaching cobalt so as to reduce the cobalt content of the cobalt iron slag. Compared with an acid leaching method, the method has obvious selectivity for cobalt in the cobalt-iron slag, and meanwhile, due to the fact that the stability of the cobalt-ammonia complex is poor, the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex, ammonia water and ammonium sulfate obtained through subsequent filtration can be used for recycling the ammonia water in the solution by controlling the cobalt precipitation condition, and therefore the material and reagent consumption of the method is lower than that of the acid leaching method.
Specifically, the cobalt-iron slag can be a slag after leaching treatment of a cobalt-containing mineral or a cobalt intermediate product. Taking cobalt iron slag and ammonium sulfate according to a certain proportion, putting the cobalt iron slag and the ammonium sulfate into a high-pressure reaction kettle, and stirring to leach cobalt from the cobalt iron slag to generate cobalt sulfate; then adding ammonia water into the reaction kettle and continuously stirring to adjust the pH value of the reaction system to a first target alkaline pH value so that cobalt ions and the ammonia water are subjected to a complex reaction under an alkaline condition to generate a cobalt-ammonia complex; and finally, filtering to obtain filtrate containing ammonia water, ammonium sulfate and cobalt-ammonia complex and low-cobalt iron slag containing less cobalt. The step is mainly to leach most of cobalt from the cobalt-iron slag and carry out a complex reaction by adding ammonium sulfate and a complexing agent and controlling the conditions of pH value, temperature, pressure, time and the like of a reaction system, thereby obtaining an unstable cobalt-ammonia complex.
In some embodiments, the first target alkaline pH is 10-12. Specifically, the first target alkaline pH may be 10, 11, or 12. With the increase of the first target alkaline pH value in this embodiment, the leaching rate of cobalt from the cobalt-iron slag is faster, but the first target alkaline pH value is too low, so that other impurities can be leached while the leaching rate of cobalt is increased, which is not beneficial to the subsequent extraction of cobalt.
In some embodiments, the liquid-to-solid ratio of cobalt-iron slag to the ammonium sulfate solution is 1g (1-10) mL. Specifically, the liquid-solid ratio of the cobalt-iron slag to the ammonium sulfate solution can be, but is not limited to, 1. With the increase of the liquid-solid ratio of the cobalt iron slag to the ammonium sulfate solution in the embodiment, the leaching rate of cobalt leached from the cobalt iron slag can be improved, but the excessive ammonium sulfate solution is added, so that the leaching rate of cobalt can be improved, but the waste of materials can be caused, and therefore, the reagent can be saved while the leaching rate of cobalt can be improved by controlling the liquid-solid ratio of the cobalt iron slag to the ammonium sulfate solution within a proper range, and the cobalt extraction cost can be saved.
In some embodiments, the temperature of the leaching reaction is 100-120 ℃. Specifically, the temperature of the leaching reaction may be 100 ℃, 110 ℃ or 120 ℃. Along with the improvement of the leaching reaction temperature in the embodiment, the leaching efficiency of cobalt from cobalt iron slag can be improved, but the leaching reaction temperature is too high, other impurities are easy to leach, and the subsequent extraction of cobalt is not facilitated.
In some embodiments, the temperature of the complexation reaction is 100-120 ℃. Specifically, the temperature of the complexation reaction may be 100 ℃, 110 ℃ or 120 ℃. With the increase in the temperature of the complexation reaction in this example. The method is favorable for the cobalt ions and ammonia water to carry out complexing reaction in an alkaline environment so as to generate the cobalt-ammonia complex, but the complexing reaction temperature is too high, so that the complex product is easy to dissolve, and the extraction of the cobalt product is not facilitated, therefore, the complexing reaction temperature is controlled in a proper range, and the cobalt ions are more easily converted into the cobalt-ammonia complex.
In some embodiments, the leaching reaction time is 2-8 hours. Specifically, the leaching reaction time may be, but is not limited to, 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 hours. Along with the extension of the leaching reaction time in the embodiment, the leaching efficiency of cobalt from cobalt iron slag can be improved, but the leaching reaction time is too long, other impurities are easy to leach, and the subsequent extraction of cobalt is not facilitated.
In some embodiments, the complexation reaction time is 6-10 hours. Specifically, the complexation reaction time may be, but is not limited to, 6,7,8,9, and 10 hours. As the time of the complexation reaction in this example was extended. The method is favorable for the cobalt ions and ammonia water to carry out complexation reaction in an alkaline environment to generate the cobalt-ammonia complex, but the complexation reaction time is too long, so that the complex product is easy to dissolve, and the extraction of the cobalt product is not favorable, therefore, the complexation reaction time is controlled in a proper range, and the cobalt ions are easier to be completely converted into the cobalt-ammonia complex.
In step S20, the step of performing an acid washing reaction on the low-cobalt iron slag to obtain a cobalt washing solution includes: according to a certain solid-liquid ratio of the low-cobalt iron slag and the dilute sulfuric acid, the dilute sulfuric acid with a certain concentration is taken to carry out acid washing on the low-cobalt iron slag for a certain time at a certain temperature, so as to obtain cobalt washing liquid and iron slag. The cobalt washing liquid comprises a small amount of cobalt sulfate, a small amount of ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid. The low cobalt iron slag is acid-washed by dilute sulphuric acid, so that the recovery rate of cobalt in the cobalt iron slag can be further improved, the obtained cobalt washing liquid can be used as a cobalt product to be recovered, and the obtained cobalt washing liquid can also be used for adjusting the pH value in a reaction system for precipitating cobalt by a subsequent cobalt-ammonia complex.
In some embodiments, the solid-to-liquid ratio of the low cobalt iron slag to the dilute sulfuric acid is 1g (1-5) mL. Specifically, the solid-to-liquid ratio of the low-cobalt iron slag to the dilute sulfuric acid can be, but is not limited to, 1:5. along with the increase of the solid-liquid ratio of the low-cobalt iron slag to the dilute sulfuric acid, namely the liquid phase is large and easy to stir, cobalt is easier to pickle from the low-cobalt iron slag, but the added dilute sulfuric acid is too much, so that the pickling reaction of the cobalt can be improved, but the consumption of a reagent can be increased, therefore, the solid-liquid ratio of the low-cobalt iron slag to the dilute sulfuric acid is controlled in a proper range, the pickling rate of the cobalt can be improved, the reagent can be saved, and the cobalt extraction cost is saved.
In some embodiments, the pH of the dilute sulfuric acid is 1.0-2.0. Specifically, the pH of the dilute sulfuric acid may be 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0. With the increase of the pH value of the dilute sulfuric acid in this embodiment, the elution rate of cobalt from the low-cobalt iron slag is faster, but the pH value of the dilute sulfuric acid is too high, so that the elution rate of cobalt is increased, and other impurities are also eluted, which is not beneficial to the subsequent extraction of cobalt. In some embodiments, the time of the acid wash reaction is 1-2 hours; the temperature of the acid washing reaction is 40-100 ℃. Specifically, the time of the acid washing reaction may be 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours. The temperature of the acid wash reaction may be, but is not limited to, 40 ℃,50 ℃,60 ℃,70 ℃,80 ℃,90 ℃ and 100 ℃. Along with the time extension and the temperature rise in the embodiment, the leaching rate of cobalt from the low-cobalt iron slag can be improved, however, the leaching of other impurities is easily caused due to overlong pickling reaction time and overhigh temperature, and the difficulty of subsequent cobalt extraction is increased, so that the pickling reaction time and temperature are controlled within a proper range, and the pickling reaction is favorably carried out.
In step S30, the cobalt precipitation reaction is performed on the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex and the cobalt washing solution in an alkaline environment, and after solid-liquid separation, the method for obtaining the cobalt hydroxide precipitate includes: and adding cobalt washing liquid into the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex, controlling the adding flow rate of the cobalt washing liquid, and adjusting the pH value to a second target alkaline pH value to perform a precipitation reaction to obtain a cobalt hydroxide precipitate. Specifically, adding cobalt washing liquid into the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex at a certain rate, periodically detecting the pH value of the filtrate containing the cobalt-ammonia complex, reacting for a period of time after the pH value of the filtrate reaches a second target alkaline pH value to keep the reaction system stable, repeatedly operating until the pH value of the reaction system is stabilized in a target range for aging, fully settling the precipitate, keeping the target time, and filtering to obtain the cobalt hydroxide precipitate. The pH value of the reaction system is adjusted by controlling the adding amount of the cobalt washing liquid, so as to meet the alkaline pH value that cobalt ammonia complex and cobalt ions in the cobalt washing liquid can generate complex reaction with ammonia water.
In some embodiments, the second target alkaline pH is 9-9.5. Specifically, the second target alkaline pH may be 9, may also be 9.2, and may also be 9.5. The cobalt-ammonia complex is stable in the environment with the pH value of 10-12, and can be dissociated to generate cobalt hydroxide precipitate at the pH value of 7-10 or above 12. And controlling the second target alkalinity value within a proper range, so that the cobalt-ammonia complex is easily dissociated and generates a cobalt hydroxide precipitation product with hydroxide.
In some embodiments, the precipitation reaction time is 10-18 hours. Specifically, the time of the precipitation reaction may be 10 hours, 15 hours, or 18 hours. As the time of the precipitation reaction in the embodiment is prolonged, the cobalt ammonia complex and the cobalt ions in the cobalt washing solution can be completely converted into the cobalt hydroxide precipitate.
