Description

A kind of method for the treatment of cobalt-copper alloy by sulfuric acid
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of handling cobalt-copper alloy, particularly a kind of method with treating cobalt-copper alloy by sulfuric acid.
Background technology
Cobalt-copper alloy is the important source material of producing cobalt metal and various cobalt products, is commonly called as cobalt white metal or cobalt red alloy or cobalt AB alloy or cobalt sulfonium, mainly originates from Africa.Cobalt-copper alloy makes by electric furnace reduction melting cupric oxide cobalt ore and the copper slag that contains cobalt, generally contains cobalt: 10%-40%, copper: 10%-50%, iron: 5%-50%, nickel: 0.1%-5%, manganese: 0.1%-5%.This alloy raw material intractability is bigger, and subject matter is that the yield of cobalt, copper is low, cost is high, technical process is long.
The method of handling cobalt-copper alloy at present mainly contains:
1, electro-dissolving: this method current efficiency is lower, power consumption is higher, and the rate of recovery of cobalt is lower.
2, sulfuration lixiviation process: this method production capacity is big, technical process is long, energy consumption is high, and the total recovery of cobalt, copper is lower.
3, High Temperature High Pressure lixiviation process: this method technical process is long, equipment is complicated, must solve the anticorrosion problem of equipment under high temperature, the condition of high voltage.
4, chlorine lixiviation process: the leaching yield of this method cobalt, copper, iron higher (mining and metallurgy, 1997, Vol6 (1): 67-69), but equipment complexity, equipment anticorrosion and environmental requirement height.
5, direct pickling process: this method is under normal pressure, and speed of response is slow, and leaching process efficient is not high, and technical process is long, the production cost height.
Problem at above-mentioned treatment process existence, we are by a large amount of research and development, invented a kind of catalyzed oxidation salt acid leaching process, and this method to State Intellectual Property Office patent application proposed, number of patent application is 2005100620166, and denomination of invention is a kind of method of handling cobalt-copper alloy; This method for economical, efficiently handle cobalt-copper alloy and lay a good foundation, advantage is very outstanding, leaching velocity is fast, technical process is short, yield is high, cost is low, and has obtained application in process of production.But yet there is weak point in this method: the one, and the adaptability of industrialization has limitation, and hydrochloric acid production region is strong, generally must transport for long-distance; The 2nd, hydrochloric acid is volatile, and protection against corrosion and environmental requirement height easily produce acid mist in the use, must set up the acid mist absorption unit.
In order to seek the method for better processing cobalt-copper alloy, we directly adopt sulfuric acid to replace salt acid treatment cobalt-copper alloy to research and develop, those of ordinary skill in the art knows employing vitriolic benefit: the one, and sulfuric acid is strong than hydrochloric acid adaptability, sulfuric acid is byproduct for most coloured smelting factory, than the easier acquisition of hydrochloric acid.The 2nd, the sulfuric acid leaching process does not have acid mist.The 3rd, the concentration of general industry hydrochloric acid is 20%~35%, the proportion of the hydrochloric acid of concentration 35% is 1.16, and the concentration of industrial sulphuric acid is 93%~98%, the vitriolic proportion of concentration 98% is 1.84, the sulfuric acid of one volume is equivalent to the hydrochloric acid of 3.5~4.5 volumes, adopts sulfuric acid process more to help leaching operation.The 4th, vitriolic is stored, the common carbon steel jar of transportation gets final product, and hydrochloric acid then must adopt heavy preservative tank.The 5th, utilize the vitriolic heat of dilution, initial reaction stage just to need not heating when adopting sulfuric acid to leach, thereby more energy-conservation.But many detours in the research and development process, have been passed by, also run into various difficult problems, most importantly the difficulty that adopts sulfuric acid to leach is big than hydrochloric acid, hydrometallurgy kinetics and production reality show that all the sulfuric acid reaction activity is poor than hydrochloric acid, speed of response is slower, again because sulfuric acid can make the cobalt-copper alloy surface passivation, directly influence the carrying out of leaching process, cause leaching process efficient low, valuable element yields such as cobalt, copper are low.The sulfuric acid extract technology does not have developedly all the time, does not see relevant research report at present as yet yet, and enterprise inside the circle all knows and captures the significance of sulfuric acid extract technology to the cobalt industry development.
