Definitions

  • ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Process for the recovery of molybdenum and rhenium from molybdenite which comprises: oxidizing the molybdenum in the molybdenite concentrate slurry to the hexavalent form with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases and less than a stoichiometric amount of nitric acid for the sulfide sulfur present, recovering molybdenum and rhenium values from the resulting solution when it contains up to 600 g./l.
  • Rhenium which occurs largely in molybdenite, has now become a valuable metal for use in catalytic applications and others.
  • Prior processes for the recovery of molybdenum from molybdenite have generally not been designed for the recovery of rhenium along with the molybdenum.
  • Substantial recovery of rhenium along with molybdenum would enhance the commercial feasibility of any molybdenum recovery process.
  • a relatively high concentration of nitric acid is required. Further, in order to perform the leaching necessary to recover 99% molybdic oxide as disclosed, it is necessary to at least partially neutralize the sulfuric acid formed in the oxidizing leach.
  • the article also refers to performing the oxidizing leach in two steps.
  • Reduction of the amount of nitric acid used is an important economic consideration. Reduction of nitric acid is a saving in itself and it necessarily results in lesser amounts of nitrogen oxide gases being formed with less oxygen being required to oxidize these gases to prevent their release to the atmosphere and reform nitric acid.
  • Neutralization of the sulfuric acid formed in the oxidizing leach before recovery of dissolved molybdenum is time consuming and the neutralization agent adds to the expense of the process.
  • Neutralization of the sulfuric acid eliminates the possibility of cost reduction through sale of the acid. Further, the presence of contaminant metals or metalloids complicates the recovery of molybdenum by leaching and makes it more difiicult to obtain a high purity product.
  • the principal object of this invention is to provide a process for the recovery in high yields of high purity molybdenum and rhenium from sulfide ores or concentrates by an oxidizing leach process utilizing nitric acid, which requires a minimum amount of nitric acid, eliminates the necessity for neutralizing the sulfuric acid formed during the oxidizing leach, and is effective in the presence of other metal or metalloid contaminants.
  • the process of the invention comprises subjecting finely divided molybdenite concentrate to an oxidizing leach in the presence of nitric acid to form insoluble molybdenum compounds and a solution having dissolved therein the rhenium values and some of the molybdenum values, recovering from the solution the molybdenum and rhenium values with an amine or quaternary ammonium type extractant, stripping molybdenum and rhenium values from the solvent with ammonium hydroxide, separating the rhenium from the molybdenum in the stripping solution with a quaternary ammonium type extractant, followed by final recovery of molybdenum and rhenium by conventional techniques.
  • the process of this invention surprisingly requires about one-tenth the amount of nitric acid required in the prior process.
  • an ion exchange system peculiarly applicable to the molybdenite oxidation leach solution for recovering molybdenum and rhenium values in the solution By the use of an ion exchange system peculiarly applicable to the molybdenite oxidation leach solution for recovering molybdenum and rhenium values in the solution, the necessity of a further molybdenum recovery leaching step is avoided with consequent elimination of the necessity for neutralizing the sulfuric acid formed in the oxidation leach. This leaves the sulfuric acid available for sale.
  • the extraction step recovers rhenium from this oxidation leach solution along with molybdenum. Further, the extraction step selectively recovers molybdenum and rhenium in the presence of the particular contaminant metals and metalloids present in the oxidation leach solution.
  • the process requires about 1025 grams of nitric acid per liter of solution in contrast to the prior process which required about grams per liter.
  • the amount of nitric acid required is about A of the theoretical stoichiometric amount for the reaction involved in the oxidation leach step, i.e.:
  • the particle size of the concentrate As to the particle size of the concentrate, a very small particle size is preferable to provide the maximum feasible contact surface area.
  • the sulfuric acid formed in the process can be marketed without processing the leach solution or it can be readily purified before marketing.
  • the principal contaminant metals are iron and copper.
  • the amine type and quaternary ammonium ion exchange resins used selectively recover molybdenum and rhenium in the presence of these metals.
  • the amine type resins which are operative to extract molybdenum and rhenium values from the oxidation leach solution include conventional long chain primary, secondary and tertiary amines used in the industry as metal ion extractants. Quaternary ammonium compounds may also be used.
  • a preferred amine is a tertiary amine with a mixture of C 43 carbon chains sold under the trade name of Alamine 336.
  • Other preferred amines are those sold under the trade names Amberlite LA-l (secondary amine), Alamine 304 (tri-lauryl amine) and Amberlite XLA-3 (primary amine). These amines are of the type disclosed in US. Pats.
  • amine type resins or amine reagents are referred to herein as amine type resins or amine reagents.
  • the quaternary ammonium extractants are operative for separating rhenium and molybdenum from the alkaline strip solution containing these metals as ammonium molybdate and ammonium perrhenate.
  • quaternary ammonium extractants which are suitable are of the type disclosed in US. Pats. 3,083,085 and 3,575,687.
  • a preferred agent is one being sold under the trade name of Aliquat 336.
  • the amine or quaternary ammonium extractant is highly effective to selectively extract rhenium and molybdenum from the oxidation leach solution which contains metal ion contaminants occurring in molybdenite.
  • the solution also contains sulfates and nitrates among other salts resulting from the catalytic oxidation leach.
  • molybdenum from the molybdenite goes in solution during the oxidation leach step and the remainder is recovered mainly as an insoluble hydrated molybdic oxide, which is calcined to a high purity oxide.
  • the degree of conversion of the molybdenum to the insoluble compound, and consequently the amount to be recovered from solution by the extraction agent, can be controlled.
  • the extraction step, or a second leach step accompanied by neutralization of sulfuric acid as in the prior art, is necessary to recover the molybdenum in solution.
  • the extraction step is necessary to recover the rhenium from the oxidation leach solution. It is an obvious advantage of this invention, resulting in a reduction of required nitric acid, among other advantageous features, that the molybdenum in solution can be recovered in the extraction step necessary for the recovery of rhenium with an extractant peculiarly adaptable for this purpose to the nitric acid treated oxidation leach solution.

  • Use of the wet slurry is an advantage of the present invention, since in the roasting processes the concentrate used must be dried.
  • water is added as necessary.
  • the slurry may contain as high as 25% solids.
  • Nitric acid is then added to the slurry in the reactor in an amount varying from 0.037 to 0.37 pound of nitric acid per pound of molybdenum in the reactor, depending on the purity of the concentrate employed.
  • the temperature of the slurry containing the nitric acid is raised to about C. prior to introducing oxygen gas to the reactor.
  • Oxygen is introduced to the reactor at varying pressures, a pressure of p.s.i.g. being used in a number of the examples. Oxygen-containing gases may be used.
  • the oxidation leach reaction produces an oxide of nitrogen in which the nitrogen has a lower valence than when introduced to the system, and thus the oxide is volatile and exists in the top of the reactor.
  • the oxygen present will oxidize the nitrogen oxides back to nitric acid and the reaction proceeds as in the beginning.
  • the pressure reactor is then discharged, substantially all of the rhenium being dissolved and at least 85% of the molybdenum values being present as an insoluble hydrated hexavalent molybdenum oxide compound.
  • the solid hexavalent molybdenum oxide can either be dried and marketed or subjected to conventional ammonia dissolution techniques and finally recovered as ammonium molybdate or calcined to produce a high purity molybdenum trioxide.
  • the solution containing the rhenium values and less than 15% of the molybdenum values is subjected to solvent extraction with an amine type or quaternary ammonium solvent to separate the rhenium and molybdenum values from the sulfuric acid and other metal impurities, such as copper, zinc and iron.
  • the molybdenum and rhenium barren sulfuric acid solution can be further processed for recovery of other metal values, such as copper, prior to utilization or discarding to waste.
  • the amine or quaternary ammonium extractant is diluted in either an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon diluent and mixed with the strong sulfuric acid solution resulting from the oxidation leach step, with the result that the molybdenum and rhenium values are transferred to the solvent phase.
