Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for electrowinning of zinc from sulfate solutions. The electrolyzer for zinc extraction according to the invention includes a bath-reactor which is equipped with power supply buses, a pipeline of two pipes for supplying the electrolyte, cathodes, anodes, plastic strips along the height of the anodes, an overflow for electrolyte discharge by gravity. The cathodes have an area of 3.5-10 m2. The height of the electrolyzer is at least two times greater than its width, and the length of the electrolyzer depends on the number of the electrodes. The bottom of the electrolyzer is divided by a groove along the length of the bath.
Description
- The invention is related to a method and a device for zinc electrowinning from sulfate solutions.
- Various methods and devices are known for obtaining electrolytic zinc and 90% of its production is realized by hydro-electrometallurgy. In the conventional electrolytic baths the process is carried out with current densities of ˜400÷600 A/m2, cathode surface ˜1.0÷1.6 m2 and manual stripping of zinc cathodes from the cathode sheets in 24 hours. A novelty in this direction, the application of which began approximately 25 years ago, are the so called Jumbo baths and electrodes of an area of ˜2.60÷3.40 m2, each bath charged with ˜80÷120 cathodes. This technology is now being used by the modern electrolytic zinc plants and zinc stripping is done mechanically by various devices in every 48 hours at ˜3100÷3500 kWh/t energy consumption.
- The disadvantage of all known processes and apparatus, regardless of the relative increase in productivity, is the main factor of effectiveness in electrowinning of metals, namely electricity consumption. The latter represents ˜70% of the total processing costs for zinc extraction, along with those for electrode management, electrolyte cooling, labor costs, consumables, etc.
- The essence of the method and the device according to the invention or the new technology and equipment for zinc electrowinning is the creation of a new generation of electrolyzers regarded as a kind of rectors. This is dictated by the process which is a complex function of electric potentials, oxi-reduction acts and hydro-aerodynamic environment in which the bath (reactor) is conditionally divided into upper and lower and, respectively, left and right symmetric zones. This design and, respectively, the process are consistent with the electrode potentials, productivity, electrode configuration, fixation and positioning of the cathodes and anodes, their formation and processing, the electrolyte circulation system and other factors. Besides, the separated gases—oxygen on the anodes and hydrogen on the cathodes—create a peculiar “fluid bed” and contribute to the movement of the electrolyte between the electrodes from the bottom to the top and vice versa apart of them. Furthermore, the charging of the fresh solution at the pressure of ˜1.5÷2.0 atm., its leading away by means of an overflow as a waste solution and the anode fixing devices have favorable effect on the movement of the solution (
FIG. 2 , [a] [b]). - In principle the electrolyzer can be formed longitudinally by two, connected by an overflow, baths, charged by a common circulation line, so that the velocity of the circulation doubles and it is possible to place additional cathodes and anodes (
FIG. 5 , [a] [b]). - The aim of the method and the device according to the present invention of a new generation of zinc electrowinning is, while maintaining high productivity, to increase process efficiency by reducing energy costs by ˜20÷30% and other related processing costs as a whole at comparable investment costs for construction, machinery, equipment and installation (engineering).
- This is achieved by the introduction of a new design of an electrolysis bath and, respectively, electrodes, loaded into it compared to the existing ones so far.
- What is characteristic here is that, while comparatively maintaining the accepted in practice width and length of the electrolyzer, its height is doubled, i.e. the mentioned upper and lower zones are already formed (
FIG. 1 ). This allows increasing the effective area of the electrodes—min. 3.5 m2 and max. ˜10M 2 for one cathode; this change is consistent with the features of the process, its parameters, etc., “dispersion capacity of electrolyte”. In this way the used current density of up to 500 A/m2 can be reduced to 250÷300 A/m2, leading to a reduction in the electrode potentials, energy consumption, respectively, without affecting the high performance at periodic deposition time of 48 to 96 hours. This change in the bath and electrodes configuration determines the changes in other parameters, which is indicated in the attached figures. -
FIG. 1 shows the overall appearance of the device, andFIG. 2 [a]—its projections, representing the bath-reactor 5, equipped withpower supply buses 6,pipeline 1 for feeding the electrolyte, loaded with cathodes 3 andanodes 4, which are necessary for the process. Electrowinning is realized by feeding the process solution throughpipeline 1 with the pressure of ˜1.5÷2 atm. and electric power—bybuses 6. The electrolyte enters the bath through twopipes 1 by gravity at the upper end and the middle of the bath (FIG. 2 a) and leaves the reactor at the other end by means of an overflow 2 along its entire width (FIG. 2 b). The fed electric current is distributed between the electrodes—cathodes 3 (FIG. 2 ) and anodes 4 (FIG. 2 ) and the process of electrowinning is carried out with the current density of ˜250÷500 A/m2. The electrolyte temperature at the entrance of the bath is ˜25÷30° C. and, respectively, ˜36÷38° C. at the outlet; sulfuric acid content is ˜120 to 200 g/l. The speed of electrolyte circulation is maintained at ˜1.5÷3 bath volumes per hour and the distance between the electrodes is 80÷86 mm. - The used anodes 4 (
FIG. 3 a andFIG. 3 b) are made of lead, containing ˜0.5÷1.0% Ag (cast of rolled) and are formed by two symmetrical sheets, copper bar 7 for upholding in the bath and conducting the current and plastic strips 8 for fixation (linear speed ˜0.15÷0.30 m/min). -

Besides, the anodes are formed in such a way that their effective area increases with the height thanks to their vertically riffled surface (FIG. 3 b); the anodes are ˜12÷18 mm thick. - A version of the offered device, according to the present invention, is the twin electrolyzer, or two baths connected in a common system (
FIG. 5 a andFIG. 5 b). In this case the electrolyte enters the baths by means of twopipes 1 at their upper ends, or the total number of the pipes is 4 (FIG. 5 ); power is fed by separate buses for the two volumes of the twin bath where the spent solution leaves by gravity the first bath along its entire width at the top and by means of a siphon-overflow enters the second bath bottom—up (pos. 9,FIG. 5 ). - The bottom of the electrolyzer (
FIG. 2 a) is divided along the length of the bath by groove 11 which allows the settling of the electrode sludge (relative weight ˜5 g/cm3) and its periodical removal, while the anode surfaces are cleaned outside the bath by means of a suitable treatment (including ferrous sulfate solution) and collecting the sludge (above 60% MnO2) to use it as an oxidizer.

The density of the supplied current is ˜300 A/m2. The electrolyte enters the bath-
reactor 5 through two (diffusion)pipes 1 at the speed of ˜500÷700 l/min and exits along its entire short side through overflow 2. Thelead anodes 4 are formed by two symmetrical parts and their surface is shaped like stepped grooves with tapered lower part and at least 80% ofanode 4 is fixed by plastic strips, which are supplemented byplastic washers 10 at the middle and lower end ofanode 4. The mixed electrolyte enters the reactor, containing 70 g/l zinc and 180 g/l sulfuric acid at the temperature of ˜30° C.
