Description

Method for desulfurizing ferric phosphate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ferric phosphate purification, in particular to a method for desulfurizing ferric phosphate.
Background
The lithium iron phosphate battery material has been applied to various electric automobiles and communication equipment at present due to the advantages of large discharge capacity, long cycle life, high safety, environmental friendliness and the like. And the quality of the ferric phosphate, which is an important precursor for preparing lithium iron phosphate, has a very important influence on the electrochemical performance of the battery. Ferrous sulfate is one of the iron sources for preparing ferric phosphate, and has the advantages of easy availability and low cost, so that the ferrous sulfate is widely applied. However, the introduction of sulfate also increases the burden of the subsequent washing process, and a large amount of salt-containing wastewater is generated, so that the treatment cost is increased.
CN107902637a discloses a method for producing high-purity ferric phosphate, which comprises the steps of carrying out three impurity removal and purification treatments on ferrous sulfate solution obtained by dissolving raw material ferrous sulfate heptahydrate crystals for producing ferric phosphate or ferrous sulfate solution generated by reacting iron with sulfuric acid, generating ferric sulfate solution by oxidizing the purified ferrous sulfate solution with hydrogen peroxide, then dropwise adding phosphate solution under the condition of emulsifying agent for reaction to synthesize ferric phosphate precipitate, or adding phosphoric acid into the purified ferrous sulfate solution, stirring, adding hydrogen peroxide for oxidation, adding emulsifying agent, synthesizing ferric phosphate precipitate, and then aging, rinsing, filtering and drying the ferric phosphate precipitate to obtain the water-containing or anhydrous high-purity ferric phosphate. However, the method has complicated process, and a large amount of reagent is added in the process to remove impurities, so that the cost is high.
CN108046229a discloses a method for comprehensively desulfurizing battery-grade anhydrous ferric phosphate, which mainly controls desulfurization from three links in the production process of ferric phosphate, specifically reduces sulfur content by adding a certain amount of emulsifying agent, forming emulsion under strong stirring, adding morphology control agent and other means to control crystal form and granularity; in the washing process, the sulfur content is reduced through three-stage washing, namely 0.05% citric acid solution washing, absolute ethyl alcohol washing and 60 ℃ hot water washing are sequentially carried out to replace the traditional pure water washing mode; the particles are crushed to 1-5 um in advance before dehydration, the particle size is thinned, and the dehydration temperature is increased to 650 ℃, so that the sulfur content is reduced. However, the method has longer operation flow, uses more expensive citric acid in the process, still needs to carry out innocent treatment on the wastewater after washing, and cannot realize industrialized application at present.
CN109179358A discloses a method for preparing battery-grade ferric phosphate from waste lithium iron phosphate batteries. The method can prepare the anhydrous battery-grade ferric phosphate through battery disassembly and separation, alkaline leaching, acid leaching, oxidation, precipitation and calcination. Firstly, acid leaching and precipitation are carried out after alkaline leaching, so that impurities such as aluminum in lithium iron phosphate can be removed, and the purity of the iron phosphate is improved; the new filter residue is leached after the lithium-rich solution is repeatedly supplemented with acid, so that the concentration of lithium in the solution and the recovery rate of lithium are improved, and the recovery cost of lithium is reduced; the low pH value (1.0-2.5) at the end of the precipitation can reduce the tendency of ferric hydroxide generation, and the aging process carried out after the precipitation reaction is finished can improve the purity of ferric phosphate, so that the obtained ferric phosphate meets the industrial use standard. However, the process has more operation steps, uses a large amount of reagents in the process, and has higher cost.
CN11646447a discloses a method for recovering iron phosphate from iron phosphate slag after lithium extraction of lithium iron phosphate battery, firstly mixing the iron phosphate slag after lithium extraction of lithium iron phosphate battery with water, mixing, reacting with acid, solid-liquid separating to obtain leaching solution containing iron phosphate ion, adding iron to replace copper and removing aluminum by resin to obtain purifying solution, adding iron phosphate heptahydrate or phosphoric acid to prepare phosphorus-iron ratio, obtaining synthetic stock solution with certain ratio of P to Fe, adding hydrogen peroxide and ammonia water, regulating pH to obtain iron phosphate precursor precipitate, and post-treating to obtain battery grade iron phosphate precursor product. However, the process still generates a large amount of ammonia nitrogen wastewater, which has a certain influence on the environment.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for desulfurizing iron phosphate that is efficient, economical, has little waste after treatment, and has little environmental impact.

Comparative example 1

The testing method comprises the following steps: the sulfur content in the iron phosphate after desulfurization was measured by a carbon sulfur analyzer test method, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
From table 1, the following points can be seen:
(1) According to the method for desulfurizing the iron phosphate, disclosed by the invention, the further removal of trace sulfur in the iron phosphate can be realized by a simple method, wherein the sulfur content of the iron phosphate can be reduced to be within 100 ppm;
(2) It can be seen from the combination of examples 1 and 5 that the higher the temperature of calcination is, the better the desulfurization effect is, and the desulfurization effect is remarkably improved by controlling the desulfurization temperature within a specific temperature range;
(3) As can be seen from a combination of examples 1 and 6, the concentration of the solute in the acidic solution of example 1 was 0.1mol/L in the acidic solution mixed with phosphoric acid, and the sulfur content in the iron phosphate after desulfurization in example 1 was only 90ppm, and the sulfur content in example 6 was only 88ppm, but the recovery rate of the iron phosphate after the high concentration acid treatment in example 6 was significantly reduced, compared to the case where the high concentration of the mixed solution of 7mol/L was used in example 6, thereby demonstrating that the present invention can simultaneously secure the desulfurization effect and recovery rate by optimizing the concentration of the acidic solution;
(4) It can be seen from the combination of examples 1 and 10-11 that in example 1, only the post-calcination aging step is used, and in example 11, the sulfur content in the iron phosphate product of example 10 is only 60ppm, and in example 11, also only 80ppm, and up to 90ppm, compared to example 10, in which the pre-treatment with the combination of calcination and abrasive material is performed, thus indicating that the preferred pre-treatment method of the present invention can reduce the sulfur content in the product, and the more preferred pre-calcination and abrasive material can reduce the sulfur content in the iron phosphate product better;
(5) It can be seen from the combination of examples 10 to 11 and examples 12 to 13 that the invention further adds a calcination step after aging, and can further desulphurize, and the sulphur content in the desulphurized ferric phosphate is only within 70 ppm;
(6) It can be seen from the combination of example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 2 that the pretreatment and aging steps are not indispensable in the present invention, and the interaction between the two can achieve a better desulfurization effect.
The detailed structural features of the present invention are described in the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above detailed structural features, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must be implemented depending on the above detailed structural features.
