Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of zinc hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for improving clarification of zinc sulfate solution neutralization indium precipitation solution.
Background
In the zinc hydrometallurgy process, the leached zinc sulfate solution contains impurity elements such as indium, the indium belongs to valuable metals, the recovery value is achieved, if the indium in the zinc sulfate solution is not separated and recovered, the impurities such as indium in the zinc sulfate solution affect the quality of final zinc metallurgy, the metals with the recovery value become negative factors affecting main metals, the zinc metallurgy products are affected, and the valuable metals are lost. Therefore, in the zinc hydrometallurgy process, indium in the zinc sulfate solution is required to be separated out for recovery, and the separated clarified liquid can be reused after iron removal and purification. The more indium slag is obtained after indium precipitation, the more thorough the impurity removal is, and of course, more valuable metals can be recovered, meanwhile, the higher the clarification degree of the clarified liquid is, the subsequent utilization is facilitated, and the clarification degree of the clarified liquid is determined by the quantity and the state of various substances in the liquid.
In the existing neutralization indium precipitation process, the neutralization reaction end point is usually in a weak acid state, the pH is usually between 4.0 and 4.5, as disclosed in the patent application number 202110963801.8, wherein when indium slag is obtained by neutralization precipitation, the pH value of the solution is stirred and kept to be 4.0, and under the weak acid condition of the pH value of 4.0 to 4.5, on one hand, solid particles containing indium are easily formed in the zinc sulfate solution to be suspended in the solution, so that the recovery amount of indium is reduced, valuable metal loss is caused, and meanwhile, the degree of clarified liquid is influenced to a certain extent; on the other hand, when zinc suboxide is used for neutralization and indium precipitation, since acid-soluble silicon is generally contained in zinc suboxide, silica gel is easily formed under weak acidic conditions, and the clarity of clarified liquid is greatly affected.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for improving the clarification of the neutralization indium precipitation solution of zinc sulfate solution, which improves the clarification degree of the clarified solution and facilitates the subsequent utilization while improving the recovery amount of indium in the zinc sulfate solution.
Disclosure of Invention

In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the method for improving the clarification of the zinc sulfate solution neutralization indium precipitation solution comprises the following steps:
q1: neutralizing and precipitating indium: slowly and uniformly adding zinc suboxide powder into the zinc sulfate solution to neutralize and precipitate indium, wherein the pH value of the end point of the neutralization and precipitation reaction is controlled to be 3.5-4.5;
q2: neutralization of residual acid: adding lime powder into the liquid after indium precipitation in the step Q1 to neutralize residual acid, and regulating and controlling the pH value of a reaction end point to be 5.2-5.4;
q3: clarifying and filtering: adding a flocculating agent into the liquid after the reaction in the step Q2 for thickening and clarifying, filtering the liquid, and sending the obtained supernatant to a subsequent iron removal and purification process, and sending the obtained indium slag precipitate to a subsequent indium recovery process.
Preferably, in the step Q1, the zinc sulfate solution is added to the zinc suboxide powder according to the mass of the zinc suboxide powder so that the pH value of the solution reaches 3.5.
Preferably, in the step Q2, lime powder is added to make the pH value of the solution reach 5.2.
Preferably, the main components of the lime powder comprise CaO and Ca (OH) 2 、CaCO 3 One or more of the following.
Preferably, the flocculant is polyacrylamide.
Preferably, the reaction time in the step Q1 is from the end of the addition of the secondary zinc oxide powder, the reaction time in the step Q2 is from the end of the addition of the lime powder, the reaction time in the steps Q1 and Q2 is 0.5h, and the reaction temperature is 70-90 ℃.
Firstly, zinc sulfate solution and secondary zinc oxide are subjected to neutralization indium precipitation reaction in an optimal pH environment, then lime powder is added to neutralize residual acid in the solution, the pH value of the solution is properly increased to 5.2-5.4, and in an environment close to neutrality, the acid-soluble silicon solubility in the secondary zinc oxide is reduced, so that the probability of forming silica gel is also reduced, the amount of silica gel in the solution is reduced or eliminated, and the influence of the silica gel on the clarity of the solution is reduced. In the same pH environment, the suspension effect of a part of indium-containing solid particles is weakened, and after the flocculant is added, more indium-containing solid enters the indium-precipitating slag, so that the recovery amount of indium is improved.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
according to the invention, lime powder is adopted to neutralize zinc sulfate solution to neutralize acid in indium precipitation solution, the pH value is adjusted, so that the pH value is improved compared with that when zinc oxide is used for neutralizing indium precipitation, on one hand, the suspension effect of indium-containing solid particles is weakened, more indium-containing solid particles are deposited by combining with the action of a flocculating agent and are filtered out together with indium precipitation slag, the indium content in the indium precipitation slag is higher, the indium recovery amount is improved, and the reduction of suspended particles is also beneficial to the improvement of the clarity of the indium precipitation solution; on the other hand, the solution environment close to neutrality reduces the dissolubility of acid-soluble silicon in the zinc suboxide, thereby reducing or eliminating silica gel formed by the zinc suboxide and improving the clarity of the neutral indium precipitation solution. And in the process of neutralizing indium precipitation of zinc suboxide, the pH value is kept in the optimal range of neutralizing indium precipitation effect.
