Definitions
- the invention relates to the preparation processes of zinc and zinc chemicals. To be more precise, the invention relates to a process arrangement and circuit for preparing zinc chemicals in connection with a hydrometallurgical purification and preparation process of zinc.
- the primary production refers to various dissolutions of zinc ores, zinc concentrates and calcines and the treatment of solutions obtained therefrom by means of various hydrometallurgical methods, including liquid- liquid extraction.
- the secondary production refers to the use of various raw ma ⁇ terials of lesser volumes, such as particulates of electric furnaces, Waeltz ox ⁇ ides and galvanizing cinders, as raw material.
- the solution ob- tained from the neutral dissolution contains bivalent iron, cadmium, copper, co ⁇ balt, nickel, calcium, manganese and chlorides.
- the solu ⁇ tion obtained from the neutral dissolution is purified by a multi-stage solution purification process.
- the solution purification comprises three stages, wherein copper, cobalt, nickel, and finally, cadmium are removed.
- the zinciferous sulphate solution obtained from the neutral dissolution is also suitable for a feed material in the leaching method of zinc.
- the liquid-liquid extraction has been used for zinc preparation mainly in small-scale processes that employ secondary raw materials.
- the US Patent 5,135,652 describes a solvent extraction that can be used to selectively sepa ⁇ rate zinc from the zinc sulphate solution, which may contain zinc sulphate up to its saturation concentration, and one or more of a group containing the follow- ing: bivalent iron, trivalent iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, po ⁇ tassium, arsenic, antimony, copper, cadmium, germanium, and indium.
- the purpose of this invention is to provide a new kind of a process arrangement for producing pure zinc chemicals from the minor flow of a zinc preparation process of a calcining-dissolving-electrolysis type.
- the invention is based on the fact that part of the production of the zinc sulphate-containing solution ob ⁇ tained from the dissolving of the calcining-dissolving-electrolysis plant is di ⁇ rected to the preparation of zinc chemicals. As only part of the production of the zinc sulphate solution is directed to the preparation of zinc chemicals, the ac- tual recovery process of zinc that is based on the electrolysis is not disturbed.
- the preparation process of zinc chemicals is based on a selective separation of zinc by extraction with known extraction techniques.
- the known extraction process is based on the use of any organically substituted phosphoric acid or organically substituted thiophosphinic acid.
- the extraction process is con ⁇ nected to the calcining-dissolving-electrolysis process described above.
- the invention provides considerable advantages.
- the bottleneck of the production lies in the elec ⁇ trolysis process.
- the solution according to the invention for taking the minor flow to the preparation line of zinc chemicals adds value to the actual production process of zinc.
- the invention provides an advantageous process solution for the preparation of zinc chemicals of a lesser demand.
- a strong acid solution is generated as a by-product, which can simply be recycled to be exploited in the preparation process of zinc. In that case, no separate investments for the final treatment of the acid solution are needed.
- the invention comprises a process circuit and arrangement for preparing pure zinc chemicals from a zinc sulphate-containing solution by an extraction method, whereby the raw material flow of the extraction is separated as a minor flow from the calcining-dissolving-electrolysis type process line of zinc primary production after the neutral dissolving stage.
- Fig. 1 shows a simplified process chart of the calcining-dissolving-electrolysis type preparation process of zinc and the preparation stage of zinc chemicals connected thereto.
- a calcine 10 containing zinc oxide is dissolved in a sulphuric-acid solution in a neutral dissolution.
- the neutral dissolution is typi ⁇ cally carried out in several stages.
- a solution residue 12 which is not soluble in the dissolution and contains iron, among others, is directed to a strong acid dis ⁇ solution.
- a zinc sulphate-containing solution 11 is directed to a multi-stage solu ⁇ tion purification, wherein a zinc powder 14 is used to precipitate copper, cobalt, nickel and cadmium.
- The. solution-purified zinc sulphate solution 15 is directed to an electrolysis plant, wherein the zinc is recovered at cathodes 16 by means of electrolysis.
- the electrolyte, from which the zinc was recovered 17 contains a considerable amount of sulphuric acid, which is reintroduced by directing it to the strong acid dissolution, among others.
- the strong acid dissolution the acid is used up in reactions. Accordingly, in addition to the recycled acid, a cer- tain amount of pure acid is added into the process.
- the pH of the solution should not be raised too high. It is reasonable to adjust the pH of the neutral dissolution with fresh acid and, in addition, with an acid 18 that is obtained from the strong acid dissolution.
- a minor flow 13 is separated from the main flow 11 of the zinc sulphate-containing solution obtained from the neutral dissolution, and directed to the extraction of zinc.
- DEHPA diethylhexylphosphoric acid
- D2EHPA di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid
- Zinc is separated from the organic phase by stripping it with an acid-containing solution 21.
- the raffinate 19, which is generated in the extraction, contains sulphuric acid, among others, and is directed to the strong acid stage to be reused.
- the pure zinc can be recovered in a sul ⁇ phuric-acid solution, wherein the content of zinc can be up to 150g/l.
- Various pure zinc products can be prepared from this solution 20 by any known meth ⁇ ods, such as by chemical precipitation or evaporation.
