Description

Method for grading and recycling metal rhenium from tungsten-rhenium alloy scrap
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of recovery of scattered metals, and particularly relates to a method for grading and recovering metal rhenium from tungsten-rhenium alloy scraps.
Background
Rhenium is a rare earth metal and is present in the crust in an amount of only 1X 10 -9 The melting point is about 3180 ℃. Because of the characteristics of high heat resistance, high corrosion resistance, high hardness, mechanical strength and the like, rhenium is widely applied to the fields of high-temperature alloy, petroleum catalysis, metallurgy, electronics and the like. However, rhenium resources are not abundant, there is no single, separate mineral of mining value, some of which are present in other deposits, and some of which are derived from the recovery of rhenium-containing alloy scrap. With the lack of primary mineral resources containing rhenium, there is increasing interest in recovering rhenium from rhenium-containing alloy scrap. The rhenium resources in China are scarce, and with the development of the aerospace industry and the progress of scientific technology in the fields of chemical industry, medical treatment and the like, the demand for rhenium is more and more great, so that the recycling of rhenium in rhenium-containing alloy waste materials is particularly important.
The unique physical and chemical properties of rhenium make its recovery process generally complex and difficult. Current techniques for recovering rhenium from rhenium-containing alloy scrap mainly include pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Pyrometallurgy is a widely used rare metal recovery process. Pyrometallurgy is carried out at high temperatures and during calcination, rhenium in the rhenium-containing waste is prone to oxygenIs converted into Re which is easy to volatilize and dissolve in water 2 O 7 Gas Re 2 O 7 And leaching out the rhenium by ammonia water or water, enriching the rhenium in a solution in the form of ammonium perrhenate or perrhenic acid, evaporating, concentrating and crystallizing to obtain ammonium perrhenate or perrhenic acid crystals, and finally reducing the rhenium by hydrogen to obtain the metal rhenium. The principle of the hydrometallurgical recovery of rhenium is to use the rhenium in the oxidizing acid or alkali leaching waste to make the rhenium in solution as ReO 4 - And then separating and enriching rhenium from the rhenium-containing solution by adopting a solvent extraction method, an ion exchange method, a chemical precipitation method and the like. Currently, molybdenite, rhenium-containing catalyst scrap and rhenium-containing alloys are the primary sources of rhenium recovery. The tungsten-rhenium alloy is a solid solution strengthening alloy taking rhenium as a matrix, and because the chemical properties of tungsten and rhenium are very similar, the tungsten-rhenium alloy exists in the form of acid radical ions in solution, and the properties of formed salt compounds are very similar. Therefore, if the conventional hydrometallurgy is adopted to recover rhenium from the tungsten-rhenium alloy waste material, such as a solvent extraction method or an ion exchange method, so as to achieve the purpose of thoroughly separating and respectively extracting the two metals, the technology becomes more complicated, and the breakthrough progress is difficult to achieve in the process. While pyrometallurgy utilizes Re 2 O 7 The characteristic of the method can selectively recycle rhenium in the tungsten-rhenium alloy scrap, has good universality, has no requirement on the form of the rhenium-containing scrap, and is suitable for mass industrial production. Therefore, development of a pyrometallurgical process for recovering metallic rhenium from tungsten-rhenium alloy scrap has significant utility.
In recent years, researchers at home and abroad have conducted a great deal of research on recovering metallic rhenium from rhenium-containing alloy scrap by a pyrometallurgical method, and have achieved a number of results. She Longgang et al (Recovery of rhenium from tungsten-rhenium wire by alkali fusion in KOH-K) 2 CO 3 binary molten salt, international Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials 87 (2020) 105148) are prepared from W by alkali fusion 95 Re 5 The metal rhenium is effectively recovered from the scrap wire. The main steps of recovery include alkali fusion, recrystallization, hydrogen reduction and washing. The alkali fusion temperature is 800 ℃, the reaction time is 60min, the potassium perrhenate crystal is obtained, and finally the reaction is carried out at the temperature ofReducing at 350 deg.c to obtain Re powder with purity over 99.5% and granularity of 19.37 microns. The method is simple and feasible, the prepared rhenium powder has higher purity, but the separation efficiency of tungsten and rhenium is not high, the prepared rhenium powder has larger granularity, and the recovery rate of rhenium is lower. The oxidation roasting-rhenium precipitation method is adopted by a Subi cemented carbide factory to extract rhenium from molybdenite with the rhenium content of 0.025 percent. Oxidizing and roasting at 540-600 deg.c to reach rhenium volatilizing rate of 95% and Re content 2 O 7 The flue gas in the flue gas is collected by a leaching tower and a wet electric dust collector, re in the flue gas 2 O 7 Dissolving in water to generate perrhenic acid, adding potassium chloride for evaporating and crystallizing when the solution is enriched to a certain degree to obtain white potassium perrhenate precipitate, and introducing hydrogen for reduction to prepare rhenium powder, wherein the recovery rate of rhenium is up to 85%. The method is simple and feasible, but has low tungsten-rhenium separation efficiency, and the recovery rate and purity of the final rhenium are low.
In summary, the current research of recovering rhenium from tungsten-rhenium alloy scraps by adopting pyrometallurgy has the problems of low separation efficiency of tungsten and rhenium, insufficient recovery rate and purity of rhenium and the like. There are also other problems, such as WO during the oxidative calcination 3 Re capable of sublimation and volatilization 2 O 7 The gas mixing, which causes the tungsten element in the collected product, results in the impurity of the rhenium powder finally produced, which greatly affects the application of rhenium in various fields. Therefore, it is a key to the current research to explore a method for recovering metallic rhenium from tungsten-rhenium alloy scraps to obtain high-recovery-rate high-purity rhenium powder. The invention provides a method for grading and recovering metal rhenium from tungsten-rhenium alloy waste materials through researching thermodynamics, dynamics and reaction mechanism of tungsten and rhenium in the recovery process, and aims to provide reference and experience accumulation for future scholars and industry in the recovery of rhenium.
