Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass Nitrat aus nitrathaltigen wässrigen Lösungen, insbesondere Edelmetall-Lösungen, durch sogenanntes salzsaures Eindampfen entfernt werden kann. Hierbei werden die Lösungen zunächst auf ein kleines Volumen eingeengt und anschliessend gegebenenfalls mehrmals mit konzentrierter HCl versetzt und wieder eingedampft, bis die Lösung ausreichend nitratfrei ist.It is common knowledge that nitrate from aqueous nitrates Solutions, especially precious metal solutions, can be removed by so-called hydrochloric evaporation. in this connection are the solutions first concentrated a small volume and then, if necessary, several times with concentrated HCl and evaporated again until the solution is sufficiently free of nitrates.
Bei diesem Verfahren muss in nachteiliger Weise zeit- und engergieintensiv eingedampft werden, wobei darüber hinaus NOx entsteht, das die Abluft bzw. die entsprechend nachgeschalteten Abluftwäscher belastet.This method has to be evaporated in a disadvantageous manner, which is time-consuming and energy-intensive, with NO x also being produced , which pollutes the exhaust air or the corresponding downstream exhaust air scrubbers.
Problem der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die oben aufgeführten Nachteile zumindest teilweise zu vermeiden. Das der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problem liegt insbesondere darin, ein Verfahren zur Zerstörung von Nitrat in sauren, wässrigen Lösungen bereitzustellen, das die Abluft nicht mit NOx belastet und darüber hinaus ein aufwendiges und energieintensives Eindampfen der Lösungen vermeidet.The problem of the present invention is to at least partially avoid the disadvantages listed above. The problem on which the invention is based is, in particular, to provide a process for the destruction of nitrate in acidic, aqueous solutions which does not pollute the exhaust air with NO x and, moreover, avoids complex and energy-intensive evaporation of the solutions.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäss durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this problem is solved by solved a method according to claim 1.
Beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren wird Ameisensäure und Harnstoff zu einer nitrathaltigen und wässrigen, sauren Lösung dazugegeben, wobei die Lösung eine H+-Konzentration von c(H+) ≥ 3 mol/l und eine Temperatur von T ≥ 80°C aufweist. Erfindungswesentlich beim Verfahren ist die Tatsache, dass Ameisensäure und Harnstoff in Kombination in einer nitrathaltigen Lösung zusammen eingesetzt werden, da zunächst das Nitrat durch die Ameisensäure in situ zum Nitrit reduziert wird, welches weiter mit Harnstoff zu Stickstoff reagiert.In the process according to the invention, formic acid and urea are added to a nitrate-containing and aqueous, acidic solution, the solution having an H + concentration of c (H + ) 3 3 mol / l and a temperature of T 80 80 ° C. Essential to the invention in the process is the fact that formic acid and urea are used in combination in a nitrate-containing solution, since the nitrate is first reduced in situ to nitrite by the formic acid, which then reacts with urea to form nitrogen.
1. Nitrat-Reduktion1. Nitrate reduction
2. Nitritzerstörung2. Nitrite disorder
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn es sich bei der verwendeten Ameisenäure um konzentrierte Ameisensäure handelt, da hierdurch das Volumen der zu behandelnden Lösung nur geringfügig erhöht wird.It is also advantageous if the formic acid used is concentrated formic acid, since this increases the volume of the solution to be treated only slightly.
In vorteilhafter Weise wird die ablaufende Reaktion potentialgesteuert durchgeführt, um den Endpunkt der Reaktion sicher zu erkennen und einen Überschuss an Harnstoff zu vermeiden.The expiring is advantageously Reaction conducted potential controlled to the end point of the reaction sure to see and a surplus to avoid urea.
Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, wenn die ablaufende Reaktion bei einer Temperatur von T = +85°C bis T = +95°C durchgeführt wird, um auf diese Art und Weise ein sicheres Abreagieren der Ameisensäure zu gewährleisten, gleichzeitig jedoch die Selbstzersetzung des Harnstoffs in Grenzen zu halten.It is also an advantage if the reaction takes place at a temperature of T = + 85 ° C to T = + 95 ° C is carried out in order to guarantee a safe reaction of the formic acid in this way, at the same time, however, limits the self-decomposition of urea to keep.
Schliesslich ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Lösung eine H+-Konzentration von 4–5 mol/l aufweist, da dadurch in besonderem Maße sichergestellt ist, dass die gekoppelten Einzelreaktionen in gewünschter Weise ablaufen.Finally, it is advantageous if the solution has an H + concentration of 4-5 mol / l, since this ensures to a particular degree that the coupled individual reactions proceed in the desired manner.
Das nachfolgende Beispiel dient zur Erläuterung der Erfindung:The following example is for explanation the invention:
Anwendungsbeispielexample
Die NO3 –-haltige EM-Lösung wird mit HCl auf eine Säurenormalität von 4–5 mol/l eingestellt und bei 85°C langsam eine stark saure Mischung aus CO(NH2)2/HCOOH-Lösung 6 : 1 zudosiert. Die CO2- und N2-Bildung ist anhand der Gasbildung deutlich sichtbar. Das Ende der NO3 –- bzw. NO2 –-Zerstörung ist durch einen Potentialsprung von 900 mV auf 700 mV vs. Pt//Ag/AgCl erkennbar. Das Nitrat lässt sich bis auf Restgehalte zerstören, die die weitere Bearbeitung nach bestehenden Verfahren nicht beeinträchtigen.The NO 3 - -containing EM solution is adjusted to an acid normality of 4-5 mol / l with HCl and a strongly acidic mixture of CO (NH 2 ) 2 / HCOOH solution 6: 1 is slowly metered in at 85 ° C. The CO 2 and N 2 formation is clearly visible from the gas formation. The end of the NO 3 - or NO 2 - destruction is a potential jump from 900 mV to 700 mV vs. Pt // Ag / AgCl recognizable. The nitrate can be destroyed except for residual contents that do not impair further processing according to existing processes.
