Description

Process for preparing aluminum-scandium master alloy from scandium-containing mineral by one-step method
The technical field; the invention relates to a process method for preparing an aluminum-scandium master alloy from scandium-containing minerals, and belongs to the technical field of new materials and application.
Background art: scandium, like other rare earth elements, is a family of elements that can participate in the modification engineering of metal-based composites in the 21 st century as a "hope" in the case of well-established applications of traditional metal materials. At present, the application field of scandium relates to a plurality of high-tech fields such as alloy materials, electrothermal materials, laser materials, catalysts, glass additives, superconductors, medicine, chemical engineering, light sources, nuclear energy shielding and the like. The most demanding of the major fields of use of scandium products today is the use in aluminium-scandium alloys, where the annual demand for scandium is 1000 tons and is growing at a rate of 15% per year. The main reasons are: scandium is the most effective alloy element for optimizing the performance of aluminum alloy, and the aluminum alloy containing scandium has high strength, good plasticity, excellent welding performance, corrosion resistance and the like, and is a new generation of aluminum alloy excellent structural material in the fields of aerospace, ships, traffic, nuclear energy and the like, so scandium becomes a micro-alloying addition element of a novel aluminum alloy which is concerned by the international material community.
The earliest and most intensive countries for the study of scandium-containing aluminum alloys reported to be the former soviet union and the current russia, and they conducted a great deal of fundamental theoretical research and applied research work on the research of scandium-containing aluminum alloys. Four series of 14-grade industrial scandium-containing aluminum alloy systems have been developed, and all the developed scandium-containing aluminum alloys are obviously improved in strength, plasticity, welding performance, corrosion resistance and damage resistance compared with the scandium-free aluminum alloy systems. As for aluminum alloy, Russia is always in the leading position in the world, the research power is strong, the results are remarkable, and a complete industrial system from the production of raw scandium to the application of scandium-containing series products is formed. At present, research work for applying scandium-containing aluminum alloy materials to light automobile structural materials is being carried out in cooperation with various manufacturers. In addition, research work on aluminum alloys containing not only scandium has been carried out in countries such as the united states, japan, germany, and canada, and has achieved a great deal of results.
In China, the research on scandium-containing aluminum alloy starts late, and some researches are carried out in recent years, so that some progress is made. But still rely on imported aluminium-scandium master alloys to produce aluminium-scandium alloys. At present, the domestic market does not have the supply of aluminum-scandium master alloy, so that the research and application of scandium-containing aluminum alloy are greatly limited, and the development of the aluminum-scandium master alloy production process has very important significance for promoting the application and development of scandium-containing aluminum alloy in China and converting scandium resource advantages in China into economic benefits and technical advantages.
The melting point of scandium is much higher than that of aluminum, the melting point of scandium metal is as high as 1541 ℃, and the melting point of aluminum is only 660 ℃, so when preparing scandium-containing aluminum alloy, scandium must be added in the form of Al-Sc, Mg-Sc or Al-Mg-Sc intermediate alloy, therefore, the scandium intermediate alloy is prepared and contains enough time for temperature, and is cast into an iron mold or a water-cooling copper mold after being fully stirred, so that the scandium intermediate alloy can be prepared. The doping principle is simple, but the melting points of scandium and aluminum are greatly different (Al: 660 ℃, Sc: 1541 ℃), and an aluminum melt needs to be heated to a higher temperature, so that an intermediate alloy product with stable components and uniform distribution is difficult to prepare, and a large amount of scandium burning loss is difficult to avoid.
Metallothermic reduction: the metallothermic reduction method mainly includes a scandium oxide-aluminum magnesium thermal reduction method, a scandium fluoride vacuum aluminothermic reduction method and a scandium chloride-aluminum magnesium thermal reduction method.
(1) The scandium oxide-aluminum magnesium thermal reduction method is characterized in that powdery scandium oxide is used as a raw material, is mixed with active aluminum powder, is immersed in molten aluminum liquid after being prefabricated into small balls, the aluminum liquid is used as a reducing agent, the aluminum powder is used as a dispersing agent, scandium is reduced into metal scandium at high temperature, and the metal scandium enters the aluminum liquid to form an intermediate alloy.
(2) The scandium fluoride vacuum aluminothermic reduction method is a method in which scandium fluoride is used as a raw material, active aluminum powder is used as a reducing agent, and reduction reaction is performed under vacuum.
(3) The scandium chloride-aluminum magnesium thermal reduction method utilizes high-purity Sc2O3Is taken as a raw material and is dissolved and converted into ScCl-containing material by hydrochloric acid3The solution of (A) is evaporated, dehydrated in vacuum and heated at high temperature to become ScCl3The molten salt is put into molten aluminum-magnesium alloy liquid at the high temperature of 900 ℃, and then Sc-Cl is added3The metal magnesium is reduced into metal scandium, and the metal scandium is captured by aluminum to generate Al-Mg-Sc master alloy. The method is characterized in that ScCl is adopted3Has very high water absorbabilityStrong, and the difficulty of preparing anhydrous scandium chloride is large.
Molten salt electrolysis: the molten salt electrolysis method is carried out in an electrolytic cell, and the adopted molten salt system is ScCl3-NaCl-KCl、NaF-ScF3-Sc2O3、LiF-ScF3-Sc2O3、Na3AlF6-LiF-Sc2O3) The graphite electrode is an anode, the argon is used for protection, and the electrolysis temperature is 800-1000 ℃. Scandium is reduced to scandium at the anode. However, under the condition of high-temperature molten salt electrolysis, the corrosion of fluorine salt is serious, an electrolytic cell and an electrolytic material are easy to corrode and lose efficacy, in addition, molten aluminum may participate in electrode reaction under the condition of high-temperature molten salt electrolysis, and a cathode region and an anode region cannot be well isolated, so that the process has low current efficiency and large power consumption, and the problems need to be further researched and solved.
The extraction of scandium oxide and scandium metal needs to be carried out by the process flows of ore dressing, scandium concentrate leaching, extraction, back extraction, oxalic acid precipitation filtration, high-temperature ashing, metallurgy and the like, and the process flow is complex and has high production cost; in the doping method, the metallothermic reduction method, and the molten salt electrolysis method, scandium trioxide or scandium metal is generally dissolved with hydrochloric acid or the like, or scandium metal is added to a molten aluminum metal to prepare an aluminum-scandium master alloy. Therefore, the existing aluminum scandium preparation process needs a complex aluminum scandium intermediate alloy preparation process, so that the process is complex, the scandium yield is not high, the quality is unstable, and the environmental pollution is easily caused. The technology for directly preparing the aluminum-scandium master alloy from the scandium-containing ore in one step by adopting a set of complete process flow without preparing the scandium oxide or metal scandium in advance is not reported in documents.
The invention is provided; the invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a process for preparing an aluminum-scandium master alloy from scandium-containing minerals by a one-step method, which has the advantages of no intermediate product, low production cost, high scandium yield and stable quality.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: the process for preparing the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy from the scandium-containing minerals by the one-step method comprises the steps of directly preparing the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy from the scandium-containing minerals, finding out the physical property difference between the scandium-containing minerals and gangue minerals from the research of the properties of the scandium-containing minerals and the process mineralogy, and separating scandium concentrate from the scandium-containing minerals by adopting a combined mineral separation process of gravity separation, magnetic separation and electric separation, wherein the scandium-containing minerals can be scandium carrier minerals such as ilmenite, zircon, spodumene, vanadium-titanium magnetite, bauxite, wolframite and the like; then, hydrochloric acid and a cosolvent are adopted to leach and extract scandium concentrate, a high-purity scandium chloride solution is obtained through purification, and then the high-purity scandium chloride solution is used for preparing anhydrous scandium chloride molten salt; and finally, reducing the scandium chloride molten salt by adopting an aluminum or aluminum-magnesium thermal reduction method to obtain the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy.
The method comprises the steps of leaching and extracting scandium concentrate, wherein hydrochloric acid with the concentration of 20-25% and cosolvent ammonium fluoride are added according to the amount of 40-50 g/t at the temperature of 80-100 ℃, so that the scandium concentrate is subjected to leaching reaction, and solid-liquid separation is carried out; and extracting, separating and enriching scandium at normal temperature by adopting tributyl phosphate (TBP) or diethyloctyl phosphate (P204) to obtain a scandium chloride solution, and purifying by using a back extraction method to obtain the high-purity scandium chloride solution. Scandium metal is easily dissolved in acid, particularly hydrochloric acid, and a common compound scandium oxide occurring in nature is insoluble in dilute acid, but can be dissolved in high temperature and concentrated acid; the scandium separation and enrichment adopts an organic solvent extraction method, because the extraction method is more effective than a precipitation method and an ion exchange method under most conditions, and can be adopted at all stages of scandium extraction, the scandium separation and enrichment method has the characteristics of simple method, easiness in mastering, rapidness, good enrichment and separation effects, large processing capacity and the like.
The process for preparing the anhydrous scandium chloride molten salt comprises the steps of evaporating a scandium chloride solution, dehydrating in vacuum, and heating to 360-400 ℃ to obtain anhydrous ScCl3Melting a salt; the scandium chloride molten salt is required to be dehydrated completely so as to improve the actual yield, the quality and the crystal form integrity degree of scandium in the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy process.
The process for preparing the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy by aluminothermic or aluminomagnesiothermic reduction of the anhydrous scandium chloride molten salt comprises the step of carrying out ScCl treatment at the high temperature of 900-1000 DEG C3Molten salt is put into molten aluminum or aluminum-magnesium alloy liquid to lead Sc-Cl3Is reduced into scandium metal by magnesium metal and is captured by aluminum to obtain Al-Mg-a Sc master alloy. The reduction reaction formula is as follows:

when the anhydrous scandium chloride molten salt is reduced by aluminothermic or aluminomagnesiothermic process to prepare the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy, according to thermodynamic calculation of reduction reaction, under different temperatures, Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant of reduction reaction of metals Na, Ca, Mg and Al and the anhydrous scandium chloride are obtained, wherein a relation curve calculation result of the equilibrium constant and the temperature shows that the metals Na, Ca and Mg can reduce scandium chloride, and because the prices of Na and Ca are high, the performances of aluminum alloy are adversely affected, and Mg is a main component of a plurality of aluminum alloys, Mg is used as a reducing agent to prepare the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy. Al cannot reduce scandium chloride to metallic scandium, but can form a stable intermetallic compound with Sc.
The aluminum-scandium master alloy is prepared by a counter doping method, a metallothermic reduction method and a molten salt electrolysis method, and is generally prepared by dissolving scandium trioxide or metal scandium by hydrochloric acid and the like. However, the extraction of the scandium oxide and the metal scandium is obtained by leaching scandium-containing minerals with hydrochloric acid, extracting and purifying and smelting. It can be seen that the extraction of the scandium trioxide and the metal scandium and the preparation of the aluminum-scandium master alloy are necessary ways for the scandium chloride solution to appear. The invention adopts hydrochloric acid to leach scandium concentrate enriched by mineral dressing, obtains high-purity scandium chloride solution after extraction and purification, simultaneously prepares anhydrous scandium chloride molten salt, and then prepares the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy by an aluminum or aluminum-magnesium thermal reduction method. The process greatly simplifies the process of preparing the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy, and has no intermediate product process from the mineral dressing of scandium-containing minerals to the preparation of the aluminum-scandium intermediate alloy, so that the process is low in cost, simple in process, low in environmental pollution, high in scandium yield and stable in quality. The Sc 2% and Mg 15% aluminum-scandium master alloy obtained by the invention reaches the YS/T282-2000 aluminum-scandium master alloy ingot standard, and the actual yield of scandium is more than or equal to 90%.
