Description

Method for producing purified synthetic calcium borate
The invention relates to a method for producing calcium borate from borate-containing minerals or boric acid. The calcium borate is mainly used for producing glass fiber, and the glass fiber is mainly used for reinforcing materials and heat insulation materials.
Several methods are known in the art for the preparation of calcium borate from boric acid and from borate-containing minerals, such as ulexite.
The particular method of treatment will depend on the type of mineral used, its purity (impurity content), and "grade" (percentage of borate contained in the mineral), as well as the desired quality of the calcium borate produced.
The basic process for the production of boric acid as disclosed in Kirk Othmer's encyclopedia of chemical technology (second edition, 1964, volume 3, page 615) begins with the reaction of colemanite with sulfuric acid.
Kirk Othmer encyclopedia of chemical technology (second edition, 1964, volume 3, page 649) exemplifies a classic example of boron and calcium forming compounds by reacting boric acid with calcium acetate to form a calcium-boron compound (CaO/B)2O3The molar ratio is 1: 3).
The most common example of a method for producing calcium borate is from ulexite (Na)2O、2CaO、5B2O3.15H2oO) to the same.
One such method is disclosed in U.S. patent 4,270,944 to Ister, assigned to Erwining glass fiber, Inc., wherein high quality ulexite (obtained from Peru Borate, Inc. and having an oxide composition of 6.9% Na) is first formed2O, 9.9% CaO and 41.8% B2O3) Dissolving in hot hydrochloric acid to form a mixture containing undissolved solids; filtering the mixture; adding calcium chloride to the solution to replace all of the sodium in the ulexite; the solution was neutralized with sodium hydroxide at pH 7-9 to form a white calcium borate precipitate, which was filtered off, washed with water and dried at 110 ℃ for 2 or 3 hours. The method can obtain B with content of 46.7% -49%2O3The calcium borate of (1).
Another recent example is us patent 5,268 assigned to bydox dana,154 to boehm et al, to obtain calcium borate and sodium borate. The method comprises adding HBO3And Na2In O solution, under the temperature of 120-200 ℃, the ulexite is separated (de-segregation) to obtain a suspension. Recovering from the suspension by hot filtration to obtain a compound of formula 4CaO.5B2O3.7H2Calcium borate of O. Sodium borate hydrate crystallized from the filtrate at 30 ℃ and was separated from the mother liquor. Sodium hydroxide was added to the mother liquor to maintain H3BO3/N2The weight ratio of O is between 1.8 and 2.7. The mother liquor containing NaOH is recycled as part of the educt liquid.
In the United states of Videl, assigned to the United states department of the navyIn patent 3,332,738(1967) a method for producing synthetic colemanite is disclosed wherein sodium borate or boric acid is mixed with a salt such as Ca (IO)3)2,CaCl2、Ca(C2H3O2)2The compound (2) is reacted for 1 to 8 days.
Other patents relating to the production of boric acid include:
1. U.S. Pat. No. 2,020,57O to Saervaite Siemens, in which colemanite suspended in water and CO are reacted in a high pressure reactor2Carrying out reaction;
2. us patent 4,196,177, wherein an alkali metal borate is reacted with ammonia and ammonium sulfate in the presence of methanol.
3. U.S. patent 3,650,690 to stew chemical company, in which an alkali metal borate is reacted with sulfuric acid, followed by evaporation and recovery of the boric acid with superheated steam.
4. Other patents disclose treatment of boron and calcium or boron and sodium minerals with the following reagents: hydrochloric acid (us patent 2,855,276), phosphoric acid (british patent 423,293), ammonium carbonate (swiss patent 354,760).
5. Patent 2,089,406 assigned to Pacific coast Borax corporation discloses Borax (Na) from the italics2O.2B2O3.4H2O) a process for producing boric acid by reaction with sulfuric acid; and
6. patent 3,103,412 assigned to Sorand, Inc., in which colemanite and/or borosillimanite minerals are reacted with ammonium sulfate.
Furthermore, as described in the introduction to Bulltech University Istanbul (1985, volume 38, page 207-; as described in the journal of colloid science (Vol.13, 386-&396), the journal of crystal growth (Vol.20, 125-&1973), the journal of Canadian chemical society (Vol.36, 1057-&1063, 1958), it is important that a suitable amount of gypsum, which is one of the reaction products of colemanite and sulfuric acid, is formed during the production of boric acid before the production of calcium borate.
As noted above, boric acid can be produced starting from a variety of different boron and calcium and/or boron and sodium minerals and/or compounds using different reactants and conditions.
It has been found in literature that the hard colemanite and/or the borosilcate can be beneficiated either mechanically, e.g., by grinding, milling and separation, or chemically, e.g., by chemical reaction, solvent extraction or sintering. However, colemanite and/or borosillicate contaminated with arsenic, iron, magnesium, strontium, silica, sulfates are not suitable for beneficiation, among other contaminants, because the resulting calcium boron compounds can damage equipment and/or measurement systems under conditions of industrial use.
Examples of methods for beneficiating colemanite and/or borosillicate are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,756,745, 4,756,894 and 4,804,524, assigned to Prefix Margomadagamenna, Inc., of Pullando. In the two former patents, the colemanite and/or borosillimanite minerals are first reacted with sulfuric acid to form a solution depleted of gypsum cake solids, and the remaining solution is reacted with hydrogen sulfide (H)2S) reacting to precipitate the impurities arsenic and iron to obtain selected colemanite or boric acid with a reduced content of impurities. These patents also disclose that it is possible to obtain a calcium ebonite by contacting selected calcium ebonite with Ca (OH)2Reacting to produce calcium borate. In the third patent, use is made of H2S after precipitating the impurities arsenic and iron, the remaining solution is mixed with NH3Reacting to remove impurities Al (OH)3Precipitated and then reacted with sulfuric acid to convert (NH)4)2)SO4Precipitating out to obtain the boric acid.
Since these processes start with colemanite and/or borosilcate of low purity (high impurity content) and low "grade" (low borate content in the minerals), it is often considered necessary to precipitate and remove the impurities arsenic, iron and ammonium sulfate therefrom to obtain an industrially acceptable selected colemanite or boric acid.
In the present invention, the colemanite and/or borosillimanite minerals of low purity and low grade are used without the need to use a catalyst containing a reactive agent such as hydrogen sulfide (H)2S) and ammonia (NH)3) Is treated to remove impurities.
A process is disclosed for producing calcium borate from a low purity and low "grade" colemanite and/or borosilcate mineral, such as gypsum (CaSO)4.2H2O), calcite (CaCO)3) Celestite (SrSO)4) Quartz (SiO)2) Orthoclase(KAlSiO3) And the like, by first reacting said mineral with sulfuric acid to form boric acid, which is crystallized, and then reacting the boric acid with calcium hydroxide in an aqueous medium to produce calcium borate, without intermediate treatment steps of beneficiation. Contrary to the prior art, this new process is not only economically feasible, but also produces calcium borate of high purity and "grade".
The present invention relates to a process for producing calcium borate from boric acid or from minerals containing calcium borate, such as colemanite and colemanite. Unlike U.S. patents 4,804,524 and 4,756,894, which are assigned to pramipexole, McLemmermagdalan, the present invention does not require the inclusion of a compound such as hydrogen sulfide (H)2S) and ammonia (NH)3) The concentrated solution of (a) is treated to remove impurities.
Generally, before the production of calcium borate, the colemanite and/or borosillimanite is washed to reduce the concentration of contaminants therein, such as arsenic sulfide, calcium sulfate and strontium, calcium carbonate and to remove most of the clay hidden in the mineral rock mass and to obtain boric acid.
In this washing step, the minerals were ground to 12.7mm size pieces and then added to a wash tank at 65% solids content with vigorous agitation. The resulting slurry was sieved through a 150 mesh sieve to remove 35% by weight of the finer undersize. The resulting at least washed coarser colemanite and/or colemanite was dried and ground to particles of size 2 mm.
By sieving with a 150 mesh sieve, impurities in colemanite and/or borosillicate are removed, the boron concentration is increased, the consumption of sulfuric acid is reduced, and the filtration time is reduced.
However, the process for producing calcium borate can also start from the original mineral material, such as colemanite and/or colemanite obtained from a mine, without the washing step described.
The washed or virgin mineral substances, such as colemanite and/or calcium silicoborate, are first reacted in a first reactor with sulfuric acid (H) under agitation2SO4) And (4) reacting.
The main reactions carried out in the first reactor are:
consumption of sulfuric acid per ton of H in the reaction3BO3The weight is 0.56-3.0 tons. The sulfuric acid used in the reaction is 20-36 mol. The reaction temperature is 80-100 ℃, and the reaction time is 0.25-2.5 hours. The reaction produces a slurry with a solids content of 25-35%, the slurryThe solids are mainly calcium sulfate, clays and other insoluble compounds in solution, and boric acid. The slurry was filtered and washed with hot water to separate the insoluble soluble material, i.e., "gypsum residue", from the remaining liquid, i.e., "concentrated solution" (strong liq-uor), which was deposited in a tank. The concentrated solution contains 10-18% by weight boric acid in addition to soluble contaminants and water.
The obtained concentrated solution has pH of 0.5-3.0, and contains 0.1-4% sulfuric acid (H)2SO4) Free acid present. The concentrated solution is cooled to a temperature of at most 45 ℃ to obtain boric acid. The resulting mixture containing boric acid is then filtered to separate boric acid (H) from the remaining solution, i.e., the "mother liquor3BO3). It should be noted that in this step, the boric acid obtained by cooling is usually crystallized boric acid. The resulting boric acid is washed to remove impurities that would be adsorbed on the boric acid upon drying. The mother liquor can be recycled in the first reactor, while the obtained boric acid is stirred into the second reactor to obtain an aqueous solution with a boric acid concentration of 16-50 wt%. Then reacting the solution with high-quality calcium hydroxide at 80-100 deg.C for 1-3 hr to obtainTo calcium borate. In the present invention, other calcium compounds than calcium hydroxide, such as calcium oxide, calcium chloride, calcium acetate, calcium iodate, and calcium carbonate, can be used. The resulting calcium borate mixture is filtered and the calcium borate is separated from the remaining solution, which is referred to as the "borate solution". The calcium borate was filtered off in a filter and washed, and then dried in a desiccator at 110 ℃ to obtain calcium borate. The borate solution may be recycled to the first reactor.
The calcium borate produced by the method contains 48 to 61 percent of boron oxide, 19 to 31 percent of calcium oxide, 19 to 23 percent of water and 0 to 1 percent of impurities, and all the percentages are weight percentages.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, colemanite and/or colemanite are stirred together with sulfuric acid in a first reactor and the liquid is circulated at 95 ℃ to obtain a slurry, which is filtered and washed with hot water (95 ℃) to separate the insoluble matter, i.e. "gypsum residue", from the remaining liquid, i.e. "concentrated solution". Depositing the concentrated solution in a tank, cooling at a temperature of up to 30 deg.C under vacuum, crystallizing to obtain boric acid crystal, H3BO3. The resulting mixture is filtered to separate the boric acid crystals from the remaining liquid, i.e., the "mother liquor". The boric acid crystals are filtered in a filter and washed. The mother liquor was circulated to the first reactor, and the resulting boric acid crystals were charged into the second reactor and stirred to form a 35% by weight aqueous solution of boric acid. The aqueous solution is then reacted with a high level of calcium hydroxide under the following conditions: reacting 5 parts by weight of boric acid with 1 part by weight of lime or 6 moles of boron with 1 mole of calcium at 90 ℃ for 1 to 3 hours to obtain a mixture containing calcium borate, wherein the molecular formula of the calcium borate is CaO.3B2O3.5H2And O. The mixture containing the calcium borate is filtered and the calcium borate is separated from the remaining solution, the "mother liquor". Washing calcium borate in a filter and drying at 110 deg.C in a dryer to obtain CaO.3B2O3.4H2Calcium borate of O containing 60-61% of B2O3. At a drying temperature of 140 ℃ and 800 ℃, it is possible to obtainWater contentLower calcium borate. The calcium borate solution has a pH of 6 to 7 and is recycled to the first reactor.
In this preferred embodiment, the weight of the calcium compound used is such that the molar ratio of boron to calcium is maintained at 6 moles of boron to 1 mole of calcium.
By this process, calcium boron compounds of unusual purity can be obtained, containing about 61% by weight of boron oxide, about 18.5% by weight of calcium oxide, about 20% by weight of water and about 0.5% by weight of impurities.
