Description

Extractant, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical separation, and particularly relates to an extractant, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Along with the high-speed development of new energy technology, the requirement for lithium batteries is increasingly increased, and the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material is good in cycle performance and high in cost performance, and is one of common lithium battery positive electrode materials. Nickel and cobalt are important elements in battery components, and separation and extraction technologies thereof are key research subjects in the chemical industry field. On one hand, the development of the nickel-cobalt separation technology can improve the exploitation efficiency of low-grade nickel-cobalt ore, and obtain a high-purity nickel-cobalt product, thereby reducing the exploitation cost of the low-grade nickel-cobalt ore; on the other hand, nickel and cobalt in the anode material of the waste lithium battery can be recovered, so that the recycling of metals is realized, and the method has important significance for environmental protection and sustainable development of resources.
Nickel cobalt extraction and separation is typically carried out in a sulphate system, for example CN112430733a discloses a method of treating laterite nickel ores comprising the steps of: leaching the laterite nickel ore by sulfuric acid to obtain a laterite nickel ore leaching solution; carrying out precipitation treatment on the laterite-nickel ore leaching solution to obtain nickel-cobalt solution, and carrying out impurity removal treatment and extraction treatment on the nickel-cobalt sulfate solution to obtain battery-grade nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate; the impurity-removing extractant in the impurity-removing treatment is P204, and the extractant adopted in the extraction treatment is CPH88, so that the method can realize the cooperative recovery of nickel and cobalt. CN112941338A discloses a method for co-extracting and enriching nickel and cobalt in a mixed solution, which comprises the following steps: (1) Performing homogeneous saponification on the P507 extractant by adopting alkali to obtain a saponified extractant; (2) Co-extracting, standing and separating cobalt-nickel solution containing impurities by adopting a saponified extractant to obtain a nickel-cobalt loaded organic phase; (3) Pickling the organic phase with sulfuric acid to obtain a nickel-cobalt loaded organic phase after pickling; (4) And (3) carrying out back extraction on the acid-washed organic phase by adopting a sulfuric acid back extractant to obtain a water phase containing nickel and cobalt. The existing nickel-cobalt extractant is mainly P204 and P507, which are acidic extractants, and the process of reacting with nickel-cobalt is a cation exchange process. In the use of the extractant, alkali is generally required to be added for saponification of the extractant, or the pH value is regulated to be proper in the extraction process, so that the consumption of acid and alkali is high, the salt content in the wastewater generated by extraction treatment exceeds the standard, and the wastewater treatment problem is caused; if ammonia water is adopted for saponification of the extractant or the pH value of the extraction balance is adjusted, the ammonia nitrogen content in the wastewater can be increased, and the wastewater treatment cost can be increased.
Another system for nickel cobalt extraction separation is the chloride system, which uses amine extractants (e.g., N235) to form CoCl by Co (II) 4 2- Co is subjected to anion exchange extraction, while Ni (II) is not extracted, thereby realizing nickel/cobalt separation. However, for the solution separation of a small amount of Ni in a large amount of Co, the saturation capacity of the amine extractant is small, the Ni is separated by completely extracting Co, the workload is large, and the operation cost is high. In addition, nickel and cobalt are often accompanied with impurities such as pig iron, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium, calcium and the like, and pure nickel and cobalt are required to be removed in the extraction production, so that a plurality of extraction systems are adopted to separate and remove the impurities in a plurality of extraction cycles at present, and the process flow is long, the consumption of reagents is large, and the cost is high.
Therefore, development of an extractant with better separation effect and larger capacity is an important research point in the field.

The specific test results are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
According to the test results shown in Table 1, the extractant provided by the invention takes the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic amide compound as an active ingredient, has good selectivity on nickel and cobalt, the extraction rate of nickel and cobalt can reach more than 90% and even 99%, the impurity ions such as manganese, calcium and magnesium are hardly extracted, the phase separation time is less than or equal to 15min and even less than 5min, the extraction efficiency is high, the capacity is large, the process is simple, and the acid and alkali consumption is not needed in the extraction process.
The components of the extractants according to examples 1 to 9 and the test results in Table 1 show that the extraction of nickel and cobalt with different nitrogen-containing heterocyclic amide compounds as active ingredients also has the following rule: (1) TBP or isotridecyl alcohol and other modifier are added, so that three phases generated in the extraction process can be effectively avoided; for example, the phase modifier content in example 2 is relatively low, resulting in "three phases" in the phase separation. (2) In the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic amide compound, when the carbon chain connected to the amide N is branched, the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic amide compound has better phase separation effect than a linear system. (3) The extraction rate of nickel and cobalt is improved along with the increase of the concentration of the extractant, but the corresponding phase separation time is also increased, and the proper concentration can be selected in practical application; (4) At the same volume concentration, the three types of nitrogen heterocycles are different (i.e. R 1 Different) nitrogen-containing heterocyclic amide compound extractants have the following extraction capacities for nickel and cobalt: pyrrole-containing amide compound > pyridine-containing amide compound > quinoline-containing amide compound. (5) At the same volume concentration, the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic secondary amide compound (i.e., R 2 Is hydrogen) has obviously better extraction capacity to nickel and cobalt than that of the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic tertiary amide compound (namely R 2 A C8-C12 linear or branched alkyl group).
