Nickel removing method for nickel-containing ferric trichloride etching waste liquid
Technical Field
The invention relates to a nickel removal method for nickel-containing ferric trichloride etching waste liquid.
Background
Ferric chloride FeCl3Are often used as etchants in the production of printed wiring boards and picture tubes for displays and televisions. In the production of shadow masks for picture tubes, FeCl is added during the etching process3Reduction of etched metallic iron and nickel to FeCl2Metallic nickel also being Ni2+The form enters into the etching solution, and FeCl is generated along with the progress of the etching process3The concentration is gradually reduced, and the etching efficiency is also reduced. Therefore, the etching solution must be periodically replaced with fresh FeCl3The etching solution replaces old etching solution, and used waste etching solution is discharged from the system, and Fe in the waste etching solution2+Can be regenerated by chlorine oxidation, but the etching waste liquid also contains a considerable amount of Ni2+Will affect the etching efficiency, and therefore Ni in the etching waste liquid must be removed2+。
The fundamental points of research work on such waste liquid treatment are: removing nickel in the waste liquid, and regenerating or utilizing the nickel and ferric trichloride. The basic treatment methods at present are: diaphragm electrolysis, evaporation concentration crystallization, iron powder (or iron sheet) reduction, electric reduction, fractional precipitation of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate), and extraction separation. Each of these methods has disadvantages, which are described below:
the diaphragm electrolysis method has complex equipment, high treatment cost and limited nickel and iron separation effect; evaporating, concentrating and crystallizing to obtain impure ferric trichloride or nickel chloride, i.e. the ferric trichloride contains nickel chloride and the nickel chloride contains ferric trichloride; the iron powder (or iron sheet) reduction method is used for obtaining mixed powder of nickel and iron, but the solution still contains high content of nickel, and high-quality iron powder is used; the fractional precipitation method of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate) has high cost and incomplete separation; the extraction separation method has high cost and incomplete extraction separation, and the regenerated ferric trichloride (to be evaporated and concentrated) has high nickel content.
The closest background to the present invention is the iron powder reduction process. The defects of the existing iron powder reduction method are as follows: in the process, expensive iron powder is used, meanwhile, the complete separation of ferronickel cannot be realized, and 30-1000ppm of nickel still exists in the regenerated ferric trichloride.
