Description

Method for preparing metallic antimony by directly reducing antimony oxide powder by microwave
The invention relates to the technical field of antimony smelting, in particular to a method for preparing metal antimony by directly reducing antimony oxide powder by microwaves.
Background
Antimony metal is an important strategic metal resource, and plays a significant role in alloy manufacturing, military industry, flame retardant manufacturing and glass manufacturing. At present, the smelting method of the metal antimony mainly comprises a fire method and a wet method, the industrial production mainly comprises the fire method, and mainly comprises a volatilization roasting (smelting) -reduction smelting process, an oxygen-enriched intensified molten pool smelting, a molten salt smelting, a non-volatilization roasting process and the like, and the volatilization roasting (smelting) -reduction smelting process is mainly used at present. The reduction smelting process mainly takes antimony oxide powder obtained by roasting as a raw material, and the antimony oxide powder is mixed with a reducing agent and a fluxing agent according to a certain proportion and then is put into a radiation furnace for reduction. Although the method is simple and convenient to operate, the method has the problems of high energy consumption, low smelting strength, low heat efficiency, high reduction temperature, large volatilization amount of antimony oxide powder and the like. Besides, under the high-temperature condition of the reverberatory furnace, lead and iron also enter the smelting process in the form of oxides to participate in circulation, discharge is reduced, production efficiency is reduced, and smelting cost is also improved.
Under the situation that the requirements for carbon emission and environmental protection are gradually improved, the traditional pyrometallurgical process and equipment are moving towards intelligence and high efficiency. In the field of smelting of metallic antimony, smelting methods for efficiently preparing the metallic antimony are provided, the methods comprehensively improve the heat efficiency and the reduction efficiency, and effectively relieve the environmental protection pressure of smelting operation to a certain extent. CN 112410581A discloses a method for producing metal antimony from antimony oxide powder: the antimony oxide powder, the reducing agent and the flux are mixed evenly, and are granulated to obtain pellets or briquettes, and the pellets or briquettes are sent into an electromagnetic induction device or a microwave device for reduction smelting to obtain crude antimony, furnace slag and antimony oxide smoke dust. The method has high heating efficiency, saves energy consumption, greatly improves the direct recovery rate of the antimony and has high recovery rate of the antimony; but the smelting temperature of the method is higher than 1000 ℃, and no further explanation is made on a microwave reduction device. CN 102108448A discloses a reduction smelting method of antimony oxychloride slag: the raw materials, the soda ash, the lime and the solid carbon are added into a reverberatory furnace after being mixed, and are reduced for 8 to 12 hours at the temperature of 1100 to 1200 ℃, and the chlorine is solidified in the form of sodium chloride and calcium chloride, so that the environmental pollution is reduced, but the reduction temperature is high, and the smelting time is long. CN 108823432A discloses a method for reducing antimony oxide by starch in low-temperature molten salt: antimony oxide and starch are mixed, granulated and dried, and then reduced in low-temperature molten salt, and the method has the advantages that the reduction temperature is reduced to 600-750 ℃, but the flow needs three stages, the requirement on raw materials is high, and the method is not applied on a large scale. CN 105603197A discloses a device for smelting antimony by directly reducing antimony slag and antimony soot and a process thereof: antimony soot and fly ash generated in the smelting process are blown into a reduction furnace through a spray gun, so that the reduction efficiency is improved, but the method has higher environmental pressure and smaller treatment capacity, and is difficult to cope with large-scale antimony smelting.
Aiming at the current energy environmental protection requirements of low antimony smelting efficiency and energy conservation and emission reduction, a low-temperature and high-efficiency antimony smelting method is needed to be provided.

Carrying out secondary reduction on the antimony oxide powder smoke dust recovered in the processes of rapid heating, heat preservation and reduction; and after the reduction is finished, closing the microwave, naturally cooling, and taking out the crude antimony and the residual slag.
The antimony oxide powder and the coke powder both have good dielectric properties, and the specific parameters are as follows: the dielectric constant of the antimony oxide powder is 8-15, and the dielectric loss is 0.1-0.3; the dielectric constant of the coke powder is 6-15, the dielectric loss is 0.2-0.3, which shows that the antimony oxide powder and the coke can be rapidly heated in a microwave field and the wave-absorbing performance is excellent. Before the antimony oxide reaches the melting point (655 ℃), the reducing agent such as coke powder is volatilized rapidly preferentially to create a good reducing atmosphere, and then the reduction of the antimony oxide is realized at a lower temperature (due to the high solid-gas reaction rate).
Further, the antimony oxide powder contains 70-80% of antimony, 20-25% of oxygen and 5% of total impurities by mass, and is ground to 50-200 meshes.
Further, the reducing agent is coke, anthracite, carbon powder or activated carbon; the fluxing agent is sodium carbonate, sodium chloride or calcium fluoride.
Further, the mass ratio of the antimony oxide powder to the reducing agent to the fluxing agent is 1: (0.1-0.3): (0.01-0.05).
Furthermore, the mixed material is placed in a ceramic or corundum crucible, the thickness of the material layer is 1-10 cm, and the mixed material is placed in a microwave reaction system.
Furthermore, the microwave power in the microwave reaction system is 0.1-20 kW, the power is continuously adjustable, the frequency is 2450Hz +/-50 Hz or 915Hz +/-50 Hz, and the heating rate is 50-120 ℃/min.
Further, the reduction temperature is 700-900 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 20-40 min.
The microwave reaction system comprises a microwave reduction reaction cavity, a microwave source, a waveguide, a high-temperature dust collecting pipeline, a dust collector, a crucible, a thermocouple, a heat insulation material and a numerical control system.
And further, after the smoke dust obtained by microwave reduction is discharged from an air outlet of the microwave reaction system, recovering the smoke dust by using a high-temperature dust collecting system, and performing secondary reduction after collection.
Furthermore, the microwave reduction cavity is a rectangular resonant cavity and is connected with a microwave source through a rectangular waveguide.
The method has the advantages of low-temperature efficient direct reduction of antimony oxide, short process flow, little environmental pollution and simple operation; the antimony oxide and the coke powder quickly absorb microwave energy to quickly reach the reaction atmosphere of antimony reduction, the material heating efficiency is high, the reaction rate is high, the obtained product has good quality, the reaction temperature can be effectively reduced, the volatilization of antimony oxide powder in the whole reduction process is reduced, and the aim of microwave smelting is fulfilled. The microwave greatly improves the reduction efficiency and reduces the energy consumption in the smelting process. In the microwave heating process, the direct-insertion thermocouple can directly measure the real-time temperature of the material, and the temperature measurement is accurate. And for a small amount of volatilized antimony oxide powder, the antimony oxide powder can be collected by a flue gas treatment system and used for secondary smelting or direct use, so that the waste of the antimony oxide powder is avoided. The produced crude antimony can be directly separated from the reducing agent and the flux, and the antimony metal rate of the crude antimony is more than 97%.
Compared with the traditional reverberatory furnace for antimony smelting, the microwave heating source of the invention can reduce the whole reduction reaction temperature by 200-400 ℃, and the metal recovery rate reaches more than 90%.
