Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for extracting and recovering copper, zinc, cobalt and manganese metals from a copper chloride manganese zinc cobalt calcium solution step by step.
Background
The hydrometallurgical process of cobalt-containing material is that cobalt in cobalt carbonate, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt oxide, etc. are leached with sulfuric acid to extract cobalt into solution, and manganese, copper, zinc, calcium, etc. in the material are also leached into leaching solution. The cobalt solution is subjected to iron removal, p204 is adopted for extraction and impurity removal, hydrochloric acid back extraction is adopted, separation of manganese, copper, zinc, calcium, aluminum and the like from cobalt is realized, and a copper-containing manganese zinc calcium-based solution is obtained after back extraction of an extraction load organic phase by hydrochloric acid, and is called copper-manganese-zinc-cobalt-calcium chloride solution for short, wherein the content of valuable metals such as copper, manganese, zinc and the like is extremely high, and the cobalt content is low, but the cobalt content is extremely high, so that the solution has extremely high resource utilization value.
At present, the treatment methods of the copper chloride manganese zinc cobalt calcium solution comprise a lime precipitation method, an alkali neutralization method, an oxidation neutralization method and the like, and aims at solidification of heavy metal ions in the solution and innocuous treatment and discharge of the solution in principle, and recovery of valuable metals in the solution is not considered. Among them, the most commonly used method is sodium carbonate precipitation, and the produced carbonate precipitate is sent to a fire system for recovering copper and cobalt. However, the method has large alkali consumption and high cost, so that the recovery rate of cobalt and copper is extremely low, and manganese and zinc are slag-formed and lost.
Chinese patent (publication No. CN 104445424A) proposes a method for preparing battery-grade manganese sulfate crystals by regulating pH value to 3.0-5.5 with lime, hydrolyzing and precipitating to remove aluminum iron, adding sodium sulfide (or ammonium sulfide) and precipitating to remove heavy metals (cobalt, zinc, copper and the like) at pH value of 4.0-6.0, extracting manganese by Cyanex272, back extracting with sulfuric acid to obtain manganese sulfate solution, and crystallizing. The method has the defects that on one hand, in the process of precipitating iron and aluminum by adjusting the pH value with lime, the obtained slag is colloid, the solid-liquid separation is extremely difficult, meanwhile, the calcium content in the solution is increased, and a larger burden is brought to the subsequent calcium removal.
Chinese patent (issued publication No. CN 105296754B) proposes a method for removing calcium by sodium sulfate precipitation, regulating pH value by sodium carbonate solution, precipitating and separating copper and manganese powder, replacing and recovering cobalt, and finally recovering manganese by sodium carbonate precipitation to obtain crude manganese carbonate precipitation. The method has the defects that on one hand, slag obtained during precipitation by sodium carbonate is colloid, solid-liquid separation is difficult, on the other hand, zinc recovery is not considered, and meanwhile, the purity of various separated slag is low.
Chinese patent (publication No. CN 105967217B) proposes a method for obtaining coarse manganese carbonate by sequentially carbonating and precipitating copper with a copper chloride solution through non-copper salt type indissolvable carbonate, replacing cobalt with a metal reducing agent, precipitating zinc with a sulfide precipitating agent, precipitating calcium with a soluble sulfate precipitating agent, evaporating and concentrating the calcium-precipitated solution to produce manganese chloride crystals, or carbonating and precipitating manganese through soluble carbonate. The method effectively realizes the full separation and recovery of copper, cobalt, manganese, zinc and calcium in the copper-manganese chloride solution.
In China patent (publication No. CN 108585051A), copper and manganese chloride solution is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid to synthesize coarse manganese sulfate crystals after copper ions are neutralized and precipitated by manganese carbonate, heavy metal ions are precipitated by manganese sulfide, calcium ions are preliminarily precipitated by manganese sulfate, and calcium ions are deeply precipitated by active manganese fluoride; and recrystallizing the crude manganese sulfate crystal to obtain the battery-grade manganese sulfate crystal. The method adopts the manganese-containing material to remove and recycle Cu, zn, ca and other components in the copper-manganese chloride solution in the whole flow, combines five-stage countercurrent serial recrystallization purification process, greatly improves the quality of manganese sulfate, ensures the high-efficiency utilization of manganese resources and no wastewater discharge in the whole flow, simultaneously realizes the precipitation conversion of manganese chloride to synthesize crude manganese sulfate by directly adopting concentrated sulfuric acid, and avoids the complex process of firstly extracting manganese ions and then back extracting sulfuric acid or firstly precipitating manganese ions by carbonate and then dissolving and synthesizing manganese sulfate by sulfuric acid.
Yang Jingjun in the paper "full separation and analysis of copper, manganese, zinc, cobalt and calcium chloride solution", sulfate precipitation is first added to remove calcium, carbonate or sulfide precipitation is then added to obtain mixed precipitate of copper, cobalt and zinc, and then manganese chloride crystal is prepared by crystallization, and the mixed precipitate of copper, cobalt and zinc is passed throughDissolving in inorganic acid, adding reducer to reduce copper and form copper sulfide precipitate, adding sodium hypochlorite to cobalt-zinc solution to oxidize Co 2+ Oxidized to Co (0H) 3 And the sediment is extracted, and finally, the separation of valuable metals is realized.
In Chinese patent CN112575200A, the pH value is regulated to 0-4 by adopting an alkali solution or an acid solution, then crude copper sulfide slag, crude zinc sulfide, manganese sulfide precipitate and the like are added for size mixing, the potential is controlled to be 220mV, copper sulfide deposition is carried out by replacing the copper sulfide, and the liquid after copper deposition is subjected to size mixing by adopting manganese sulfide to replace to produce zinc sulfide slag.
According to the above analysis, for Cu 2+ The treatment method adopted is mainly divided into three types: the first carbonate precipitation method is to adjust the pH value of the system and produce copper carbonate precipitation, and in the copper precipitation process, iron aluminum and the like are precipitated, and the obtained copper carbonate is colloid, so that the solid-liquid separation is difficult, and the industrial application of the method is limited. The second metal replacement method mainly adopts iron powder replacement, and has the defect of introducing a large amount of iron ions and increasing the subsequent iron removal workload. Meanwhile, in the replacement process, the copper removal end point is difficult to grasp, and excessive iron powder is added, so that excessive iron powder also enters the sponge copper. The third sulfide precipitation method has the defect that the obtained copper sulfide precipitate is leached by adding a reducing agent when being treated again and dissolved, and the treatment is difficult. For Zn 2+ The method is mainly sulfide precipitation method at present, and the zinc sulfide slag obtained by the method is difficult to comprehensively utilize. For Co 2+ The treatment methods adopted are divided into two types: one is sulfide precipitation; the other is a metal substitution method. The two methods have advantages and disadvantages and can be selected according to the process characteristics. For Mn of 2+ The treatment methods adopted at present are mainly divided into three types: purifying and impurity-removing the first stock solution, and crystallizing to produce battery-grade manganese sulfate crystals; purifying the second stock solution, removing impurities, and precipitating sodium carbonate to produce industrial manganese carbonate; the third kind of preliminary impurity removal is carried out by using Cyanex272 extractionExtracting manganese by the extracting agent, and crystallizing after back extraction by sulfuric acid to produce battery-grade manganese sulfate. The process flow has the defects, and the recycling of the copper chloride, manganese zinc cobalt calcium solution is greatly limited.
