Description

Purification method and purification system of wet-process phosphoric acid and preparation method of ferric phosphate
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a purification method and a purification system of wet-process phosphoric acid and a preparation method of ferric phosphate.
Background
The production method of phosphoric acid mainly comprises two methods: wet and thermal processes, wherein the wet process uses inorganic acids to decompose phosphate ore to produce phosphoric acid. The impurity content in the wet phosphoric acid is more, which is influenced by the raw materials and the process characteristics.
The prior wet-process phosphoric acid purification technology mainly comprises a chemical precipitation method and a solvent extraction method. Chemical precipitation is mainly carried out by adding precipitant into wet phosphoric acid, and removing impurities in the form of precipitate generated by reaction of impurities with precipitant. However, as wet phosphoric acid is a strong acid environment, most impurities cannot be completely precipitated, and the content of impurity ions in phosphoric acid prepared by a chemical precipitation method is still high, so that the requirement of preparing battery-grade ferric phosphate is not met. The solvent extraction method is based on that phosphoric acid is soluble in an organic solvent, and impurity ions are insoluble in the organic solvent, and phosphoric acid is obtained by extracting phosphoric acid into the organic solvent, back-extracting phosphoric acid from the organic solvent by using water, and evaporating and concentrating. Although the solvent extraction method can obtain phosphoric acid meeting the requirements for preparing battery-grade ferric phosphate, the solvent extraction method has long treatment flow, large investment and large environmental pollution caused by the use of organic solvents.
The membrane separation technology is considered as one of the most promising separation technologies, and has the characteristics of low energy consumption, good separation effect, simple equipment, environmental friendliness and the like. In the prior art, nanofiltration membranes are used for purifying wet-process phosphoric acid, however, the operation flux of the nanofiltration membranes is low in the purification process due to the existence of impurities in the wet-process phosphoric acid, and the working performance cannot be guaranteed.

An embodiment of the present application provides a method for purifying wet-process phosphoric acid, including:
s11: dialyzing wet phosphoric acid by adopting a monovalent cation exchange membrane to obtain pre-purified phosphoric acid;
s12: and filtering the pre-purified phosphoric acid by adopting a nanofiltration membrane to obtain nanofiltration concentrated solution and purified phosphoric acid.
According to the purification method of the wet-process phosphoric acid provided by the embodiment of the application, the wet-process phosphoric acid is dialyzed by adopting a monovalent cation exchange membrane, and the monovalent cation exchange membrane can selectively permeate monovalent cations such as hydrogen ions, sodium ions and the like, and entraps cations with more than two valences such as magnesium ions, calcium ions, iron ions, aluminum ions and the like. The radius of hydrogen ions in the monovalent cations is minimum, the hydrogen ions preferentially permeate the membrane, and due to the requirement of electric neutrality, the permeated hydrogen ions carry dihydrogen phosphate anions to permeate the monovalent cation exchange membrane together, namely phosphoric acid permeates the monovalent cation exchange membrane; since the selectivity of the monovalent cation exchange membrane cannot reach 100%, although most of the divalent or higher cations are trapped (the trapping rate is about 90%), a small amount of divalent or higher cations remain in the pre-purified phosphoric acid; further, the pre-purified phosphoric acid is filtered by a nanofiltration membrane, and cations with more than two valences are filtered again by the nanofiltration membrane, so that the purity of the finally obtained phosphoric acid meets the requirement of preparing battery-grade ferric phosphate. According to the purification method of the wet-process phosphoric acid, provided by the embodiment of the application, most of divalent metal ions in the wet-process phosphoric acid are removed by adopting the monovalent cation exchange membrane, so that the operation pressure of the nanofiltration membrane can be greatly reduced when the prepurified phosphoric acid enters the nanofiltration membrane for filtration, and the higher flux of the nanofiltration membrane is ensured.
In the prior art, in order to ensure the operation flux of the nanofiltration membrane, the wet process phosphoric acid before nanofiltration is usually pretreated to remove part of impurities or diluted. The purification method of the wet-process phosphoric acid provided by the first aspect of the application embodiment does not need complex pretreatment operation, reduces the cost, but adopts a monovalent cation exchange membrane for dialysis prepurification, and the process does not need pressure or electric field driving, so that the energy consumption is low and the blockage is not easy; and because the wet phosphoric acid is not diluted, the obtained purified phosphoric acid has high concentration, and after two-stage purification by an exchange membrane and a nanofiltration membrane, the removal rate of metal ions with more than two valences is more than 99 percent, and the quality and the concentration of the obtained purified phosphoric acid meet the preparation requirements of battery-grade ferric phosphate.
In some embodiments, in step S11 described above, when the wet phosphoric acid is dialyzed with a monovalent cation exchange membrane, the feed side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane is wet phosphoric acid and the collection side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane is pure water. The concentration difference is formed between the high-concentration wet-process phosphoric acid solution and the pure water, so that the phosphoric acid is accelerated to permeate through the monovalent cation exchange membrane from the feeding side to the collecting side. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the collection side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane may also be a dilute concentration phosphoric acid solution. The dilute concentration herein means that the phosphoric acid concentration is less than that in wet process phosphoric acid.
In some embodiments, in step S11 above, the flow rate of wet phosphoric acid on the feed side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane is greater than or equal to the flow rate of pure water on the collection side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane. The flow of the wet phosphoric acid and the flow of the pure water can influence the concentration of the final product, if the flow of the pure water is larger than the flow of the wet phosphoric acid, the content of phosphoric acid in the final product is not high, and by controlling the flow of the wet phosphoric acid not smaller than the flow of the pure water, the concentration of phosphoric acid in the final product is ensured to be higher. Alternatively, the flow rate of wet phosphoric acid is equal to the flow rate of pure water. Alternatively, the flow rate of the wet process phosphoric acid is 30L/h to 60L/h, for example 30L/h, 40L/h, 50L/h or 60L/h. Alternatively, the flow rate of the pure water is 30L/h to 60L/h, for example, 30L/h, 40L/h, 50L/h or 60L/h. The flow value can influence the purification efficiency of phosphoric acid and the concentration of the final product, and although the flow is smaller, the concentration of phosphoric acid in the purified product can be increased, the time cost can be increased, and the time cost can be considered while the higher concentration of phosphoric acid in the final product is ensured by controlling the flow value to be 30L/h-60L/h.
In some embodiments, in step S11 above, the monovalent cation exchange membrane operating conditions comprise: the operating pressure is normal pressure, and the operating temperature is normal temperature. The monovalent cation exchange membrane is operated at normal temperature and normal pressure, so that a large amount of equipment is not required to be invested, and the cost is reduced.
In some embodiments, in step S11 described above, the monovalent cation exchange membrane includes a cation exchange membrane and a modifying layer attached to a surface of the cation exchange membrane. The ion exchange membrane is a membrane made of a polymer material having selective permeability to ions. Cation exchange membranes are membranes that are selective for cations, typically of the sulfonic acid type, with an anchoring group and a dissociable ion, e.g., the sodium sulfonic acid type anchoring group is sulfonate and the dissociable ion is sodium. The preparation direction of the monovalent cation exchange membrane mainly comprises membrane matrix modification and membrane surface modification. Optionally, the monovalent cation exchange membrane is prepared by adopting a membrane surface modification mode, namely, a modification layer is attached to the surface of the cation exchange membrane, the membrane surface modification mode is simple to operate, and the modified effect is better than that of most of membrane matrix modification modes. The modified layer generally comprises an electropositive polymer which is coated on the surface of the cation exchange membrane to realize the effect of blocking the high valence ions by the membrane, wherein the effect mainly comes from the electrostatic force action of the modified layer on the ions, and the repulsive force of the high valence ions is far greater than that of the low valence ions due to the higher charge, so that the separation of the single multivalent cations is realized. Optionally, the electropositive polymer comprises Polyethylenimine (PEI), polypyrrole, or chitosan. Alternatively, the modifying layer is attached to the cation exchange membrane using electrostatic forces, for example, by immersing the cation exchange membrane in a solution containing polyethylenimine to produce a monovalent cation exchange membrane. Alternatively, the modifying layer may be chemically bonded to the cation exchange membrane by creating new bonds, for example, the electropositive polymer may be attached to the cation exchange membrane by graft copolymerization.
In some embodiments, step S12 above further comprises returning the nanofiltration concentrate to the feed side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane and re-dialyzing through the monovalent cation exchange membrane. The nanofiltration concentrated solution is prepurified phosphoric acid residual acid which does not permeate through a nanofiltration membrane, the content of metal ions in the nanofiltration concentrated solution is far lower than the content of metal ions in wet phosphoric acid, the content of phosphoric acid in the nanofiltration concentrated solution is equivalent to the content of phosphoric acid in the wet phosphoric acid, and the nanofiltration concentrated solution is returned to the feed side of a monovalent cation exchange membrane and dialyzed again through the monovalent cation exchange membrane, so that the nanofiltration concentrated solution is recycled, the problem that the nanofiltration concentrated solution is difficult to treat is solved, and the yield of phosphoric acid is also improved. Alternatively, the nanofiltration concentrate is returned to the feed side of the monovalent cation exchange membrane and mixed with wet process phosphoric acid, and then together with it is again pre-purified through the monovalent cation exchange membrane. The nanofiltration concentrated solution is also obtained through dialysis of a monovalent cation exchange membrane, so that the content of impurities is low, the content of phosphoric acid is high, the nanofiltration concentrated solution is recycled, and the waste is reduced.
In some embodiments, in step S12 above, the nanofiltration membrane operating conditions include: the temperature is 10-60 ℃, the pressure is 1.5-6 MPa, and the concentration ratio is 1.5-6 times.

s24: and reacting the second mixed solution at a first temperature for a first period of time to obtain the ferric phosphate.
According to the method for preparing the ferric phosphate, the phosphoric acid prepared by the wet-process phosphoric acid purification method provided by the embodiment of the application has the advantages that the content of impurities in the phosphoric acid is low, so that the purity of the ferric phosphate is ensured; further, phosphoric acid and ammonia water react to generate monoammonium phosphate, and then react with ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide to generate ferric phosphate, so that the generation of ferric hydroxide in the reaction process can be effectively avoided, the conversion rate of raw materials is improved, impurities in the ferric phosphate are reduced, and the quality of the ferric phosphate is improved.
In some embodiments, in the step S21, the pH of the monoammonium phosphate solution is controlled to be 1.5-5.0, i.e. at the end of the reaction between ammonia and phosphoric acid, the pH of the solution is controlled to be 1.5-5.0. Alternatively, the pH is 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 or 5.0.
In some embodiments, in step S22 above, the first mixed solution further includes a pH adjuster, which is also mixed when the monoammonium phosphate solution is mixed with the ferrous sulfate solution. Optionally, the pH adjuster is at least one of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. By selecting sulfuric acid and/or phosphoric acid as pH adjusting agent, the introduction of new impurity types is avoided. Optionally, the molar ratio of the pH adjustor to the ferrous sulfate is (0.1-0.4): 1, e.g., 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.3:1, or 0.4:1, within which the pH of the first mixed solution can be adjusted to within a range of 1.0-3.0, thereby ensuring the formation of ferric phosphate.
In some embodiments, in step S22, the molar ratio of ferrous sulfate to monoammonium phosphate in the first mixed solution is 1 (0.8-1.2), such as 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1.0, 1:1.1, or 1:1.2.
In some embodiments, in step S23, hydrogen peroxide is slowly added to the first mixed solution, and the ferrous ions are oxidized to ferric ions by hydrogen peroxide, so that the mass fraction of the ferrous ions in the second mixed solution is less than 0.01wt%, for example, 0.01wt%, 0.008wt%, 0.005wt%, 0.003wt%, or 0.001wt%.
In some embodiments, in step S24 above, the first temperature is 50 ℃ to 100 ℃, e.g., 50 ℃, 60 ℃, 70 ℃, 80 ℃, 90 ℃, or 100 ℃; the first time period is 1h to 10h, for example 1h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 9h or 10h.
