Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrorer en fremgangsmåte for å gjenvinne kaliumhydroksyd og sinkoksyd fra sinkatopplosninger. Oppfinnelsen vedrorer mer spesielt gjenvinning av brukte elektrolytter fra akkumulator celler med en negativ sink-elektrod.e. The present invention relates to a method for recovering potassium hydroxide and zinc oxide from zincate solutions. The invention relates more particularly to the recovery of used electrolytes from accumulator cells with a negative zinc electrode.e.

Av miljovernhensyn og som et ledd i kampen mot forurensninger har det vært foreslått å erstatte bensindriften av bilene med. elektrisk drift. Den vesentlige hindring for denne erstatning utgjores av de tunge batterier som opplades sakte. I den senere tid. er det foreslått luft-depolarisasjonsceller med negativ sinkelektrode for slike batterier, idet sinken har form av en suspensjon av et pulver i elektrolytten som strommer gjennom cellene. Oppladningen av batteriet bevirkes da ved. å tomme ut den brukte elektrolytt, som utgjores av en losning av kaliumsinkat og ved å erstatte denne elektrolytt med ny elektrolytt som utgjores av en suspensjon av sink i kaliumhydroksyd. Det reiser seg da et sporsmål om å gjenvinne sinken og elektrolytten fra kaliumsinkatlosningene som utgjor den brukte elektrolytt. For environmental reasons and as part of the fight against pollution, it has been proposed to replace the petrol operation of the cars with electrical operation. The main obstacle to this replacement is the heavy batteries that charge slowly. Lately. air depolarization cells with a negative zinc electrode have been proposed for such batteries, the zinc being in the form of a suspension of a powder in the electrolyte which flows through the cells. The charging of the battery is then effected by emptying out the used electrolyte, which is constituted by a solution of potassium zincate and by replacing this electrolyte with new electrolyte which is constituted by a suspension of zinc in potassium hydroxide. A challenge then arises to recover the zinc and the electrolyte from the potassium zinc solutions that make up the used electrolyte.

Elektrolyse av disse oppløsninger for å gjenvinne sink har generelt .vært foreslått, men uansett den metode som anvendes for gjen-vinningen er det sikkert at denne ikke kan gjennomføres i de service-anlegg som utforer oppladning av batteriene. Operasjonene er for kompliserte og krever overvåking som bare kan utfores av spesialister. Disse oppløsninger må derfor behandles i spesielle behandlingsanlegg og deres transport vil da utgjore en meget vesentlig faktor for omdannelsesomkostningene. Electrolysis of these solutions to recover zinc has generally been proposed, but regardless of the method used for the recovery, it is certain that this cannot be carried out in the service facilities that charge the batteries. The operations are too complicated and require monitoring that can only be carried out by specialists. These solutions must therefore be treated in special treatment facilities and their transport will then constitute a very significant factor for the conversion costs.

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse tar sikte på å overvinne disse ulemper og dens formål er å tilveiebringe en enkel og billig metode for rensing av elektrolytten og som kan gjennomføres i service-anlegg og som gjor det mulig samtidig å oppnå fast sinkoksyd som er lett transporterbart. The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages and its purpose is to provide a simple and cheap method for cleaning the electrolyte which can be carried out in service facilities and which makes it possible at the same time to obtain solid zinc oxide which is easily transportable.

Formålet for den foreliggende oppfinnelse er således en fremgangsmåte for gjenvinning av kaliumhydroksyd og sinkoksyd fra opplosninger av kaliumsinkat, og det særegne ved fremgangsmåten i henhold, til oppfinnelsen er at et selektivt løsningsmiddel for kaliumhydroksyd. og som er blandbart med vann, tilsettes til sinkatlosningen, det derved oppnådde sinkoksyd-bunnfall filtreres fra og , moderluten behandles for å skille kaliumhydroksydlosningen fra 16 sning smidle t. The purpose of the present invention is thus a method for recovering potassium hydroxide and zinc oxide from solutions of potassium zincate, and the distinctive feature of the method according to the invention is that a selective solvent for potassium hydroxide. and which is miscible with water, is added to the zinc solution, the resulting zinc oxide precipitate is filtered off and the mother liquor is treated to separate the potassium hydroxide solution from 16 sning smidle t.

Ved en foretrukket utforelsesform for oppfinnelsen anvendes det som selektivt losningsmid.d.el etanol eller foretrukket metanol, eller blandinger derav. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, ethanol or preferably methanol, or mixtures thereof, is used as the selective solvent.

Fraskillingen av kaliumhydroksydlosningen fra losningsmidlet kan foretrukket skje ved hjelp av fraksjonert destillasjon. The separation of the potassium hydroxide solution from the solvent can preferably take place by means of fractional distillation.

Volumforholdet mellom metanol og kaliumsinkatlosning er fordelaktig mellom 1 og 5 og foretrukket omtrent 3?0. ■ The volume ratio between methanol and potassium zinc solution is advantageously between 1 and 5 and preferably about 3:0. ■

Andre trekk og fordeler ved oppfinnelsen vil fremgå av den etter-følgende beskrivelse med. utforelseseksempler. Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description. embodiment examples.

En elektrolytt som anvendes i en elektrokjemisk celle av sink-luft-typen og som hovedsaklig besto av en suspensjon av sink i kaliumhydroksyd ble undersøkt. Under utladningen av cellen oksyderes sink i suspensjon i kontakt med den negative elektrod.e og blant annet dannes kaliumkarbonat, ved. absorpsjon - av karbondioksyd. i kaliumhydroksydet. An electrolyte used in an electrochemical cell of the zinc-air type and which mainly consisted of a suspension of zinc in potassium hydroxide was investigated. During the discharge of the cell, zinc is oxidized in suspension in contact with the negative electrode and, among other things, potassium carbonate is formed. absorption - of carbon dioxide. in the potassium hydroxide.

Tabell I gir et eksempel på sammensetningen;av en liter av en slikt brukt elektrolytt: Table I gives an example of the composition of one liter of such a used electrolyte:

Oppløsningen kan videre omfatte forurensninger som f.eks. bly, silisiumoksyd, vanadiumoksyd, etc. 1 - 5 volumdeler metanol tilsettes til en volumdel av opplosningen under kraftig roring. Det oppnås delvis en flytende blanding bestående av en opplosning av kaliumhydroksyd. i metanol og på den annen side en fast substans som omfatter et bunnfall av' sinkoksyd, kaliumkarbonat, silisiumoksyd, en rest av sink og noen forurensninger. KaTiumhyd.roksyd.et skilles fra metanolen ved destillasjon idet metanolen med. en gang kan anvendes for regenerering av ytterligere mengder brukt elektrolytt. The solution can also include contaminants such as e.g. lead, silicon oxide, vanadium oxide, etc. 1 - 5 parts by volume of methanol are added to one part by volume of the solution with vigorous stirring. A liquid mixture consisting of a solution of potassium hydroxide is partially obtained. in methanol and, on the other hand, a solid substance comprising a precipitate of zinc oxide, potassium carbonate, silicon oxide, a residue of zinc and some impurities. The potassium hydroxide is separated from the methanol by distillation, the methanol with. once can be used for the regeneration of further quantities of used electrolyte.

Sinkoksydet behandles for å ekstrahere sink, f.eks. ved. varmebehandling med karbon, eller ved indirekte varmebehandling eller ved elektrolyse. The zinc oxide is treated to extract zinc, e.g. by. heat treatment with carbon, or by indirect heat treatment or by electrolysis.

Den folgende tabell II viser mengden av kaliumhydroksyd som kan ekstraheres i mol pr. liter og d.en maksimale mengde av sinkresten i g/l som er tilbake i losningen i forhold til forskjellige metanolmengder tilsatt til en opplosningsmengde som skal behandles. Tabell III viser resultatet av regenereringsbehandlingen for utgangslosningen etter rensing av bunnfallet. The following table II shows the amount of potassium hydroxide that can be extracted in moles per liters and d. a maximum quantity of the zinc residue in g/l that remains in the solution in relation to different amounts of methanol added to a solution quantity to be treated. Table III shows the result of the regeneration treatment for the output discharge after cleaning the sediment.

Det bemerkes at.tapene av kaliumhydroksyd og sink er meget små. It is noted that the losses of potassium hydroxide and zinc are very small.

Fremgangsmåten i henhold, til oppfinnelsen gjor det således mulig på en enkel, effektiv og lonnsom måte å regenerere en elektrolytt på basis av en suspensjon av sink i kaliumhydroksyd. Det bemerkes at hvis regenereringsreaksjonen ikke er fullstendig vil nærværet av en restmengde sinkat i elektrolytten ikke være særlig skadelig. The method according to the invention thus makes it possible in a simple, efficient and profitable way to regenerate an electrolyte based on a suspension of zinc in potassium hydroxide. It is noted that if the regeneration reaction is not complete, the presence of a residual amount of zincate in the electrolyte will not be particularly harmful.

Fremgangsmåten har videre den fordel at den gir en opplosning av kaliumhydroksyd hvorfra karbondioksyd er fjernet uten å kreve noen vanskelig og dyr ekstra behandling. The method also has the advantage that it provides a solution of potassium hydroxide from which carbon dioxide has been removed without requiring any difficult and expensive additional treatment.

Fremgangsmåten kan gjennomføres i automatisk apparatur anordnet på servicestasjoner som gjennomfører fornyet oppladning av akkumulatorer. The procedure can be carried out in automatic equipment arranged at service stations which carry out renewed charging of accumulators.

For gjennomforing av oppfinnelsen kan man anvende andre selektive løsningsmidler for kaliumhydroksyd., således etanol, eller blandinger av slike selektive løsningsmidler. For carrying out the invention, other selective solvents for potassium hydroxide can be used, such as ethanol, or mixtures of such selective solvents.

Oppfinnelsen kan anvendes for alle elektrokjemiske celler med. en negativ sinkelektrode hvor elektrolytten skal renses med sikte på gjenvinning. The invention can be used for all electrochemical cells with a negative zinc electrode where the electrolyte is to be purified with a view to recycling.
