Process for producing anhydrous copper sulfate by spray pyrolysis of high-purity leaching solution of waste copper foil
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wet metallurgy, and particularly relates to a process for producing anhydrous copper sulfate by utilizing spray pyrolysis of a high-purity leaching solution of waste copper foil.
Background
At present, in the traditional process for producing anhydrous copper sulfate by using a copper sulfate solution, a chemical concentrating agent (consisting of calcium and a sulfur compound) is added into the prepared copper sulfate solution for chemical concentration, 70 to 90 percent of water is removed, then the copper sulfate solution is heated and evaporated, and a copper sulfate finished product is prepared by cooling, crystallizing, centrifugal separation and air drying. However, the method has long process flow and high energy consumption, and the produced anhydrous copper sulfate has poor dispersibility, uneven particle size distribution, poor chemical activity and no guarantee on product quality.
The spray pyrolysis method is a production method for spraying the solution into a high-temperature atmosphere for drying, and then performing heat treatment to form powder. However, the conventional spray pyrolysis method is used for treating materials containing free water, and 5 crystal waters contained in copper sulfate crystals are required to be completely removed in the preparation of anhydrous copper sulfate, so that the conventional spray pyrolysis process cannot be simply adopted for preparing the anhydrous copper sulfate by simply adjusting parameters. Therefore, how to use the spray pyrolysis method for the production of anhydrous copper sulfate is a technical problem to be overcome by the invention.
