背景技术 Background technique
金属钴粉是世界公认的战略金属材料, 几十年来, 一直是伦敦金属期货交 易所的座上客。 近五年来, 由于金属钴粉在高能电池、 硬质合金、 军工等领域 的大量使用, 导致世界性的钴紧张。 可以说, 谁掌握钴的资源及其相关产品的 制造技术, 谁就掌握了化学能源、 通讯、 军工等众多关键工业领域的主动权。  Metallic cobalt powder is recognized as a strategic metal material in the world and has been a guest of the London Metal Futures Exchange for decades. In the past five years, due to the large-scale use of metallic cobalt powder in high-energy batteries, cemented carbide, military and other fields, the world's cobalt has been strained. It can be said that whoever masters the manufacturing technology of cobalt resources and related products, who has mastered the initiative in many key industrial fields such as chemical energy, communications, and military industry.
超细钴粉材料是本世纪新材料领域的先进代表之一。超细钴粉是用作高能 电池、 高强度硬质合金和军工器械生产的关键材料, 被誉为现代工业味精。  Ultrafine cobalt powder material is one of the advanced representatives in the field of new materials in this century. Ultrafine cobalt powder is used as a key material in the production of high-energy batteries, high-strength cemented carbide and military equipment, and is known as modern industrial MSG.
锂离子电池含钴达 40%以上, 镍氢电池含钴达 10%以上, 因此, 钴成为决 定锂离子电池等新型化学能源成本的关键材料。  Lithium-ion batteries contain more than 40% cobalt, and nickel-hydrogen batteries contain more than 10% cobalt. Therefore, cobalt is a key material for determining the cost of new chemical energy sources such as lithium-ion batteries.
有资料显示, 地球上的钴资源的储量有限, 估计可供使用 60-70年。 我国 是贫钴国家, 我国使用量的 80 %来源于南非, 近年来, 随着中国大量从南非进 口钴的资源,南非政府已经开始限制, 因此,如同石油一样, 钴资源严重短缺。 一年半来, 钴价已经从 15万元 /吨狂涨到 35万元 /吨。  According to information, the reserves of cobalt resources on the earth are limited and are estimated to be available for 60-70 years. China is a cobalt-poor country. 80% of China's use comes from South Africa. In recent years, with the large amount of cobalt resources imported from South Africa, the South African government has begun to restrict. Therefore, like oil, there is a serious shortage of cobalt resources. In the past year and a half, the price of cobalt has risen from 150,000 yuan / ton to 350,000 yuan / ton.
现在各个国家都在进行循环技术利用二次资源的技术研发。中国的经济是 以作为世界制造中心的高速发展的经济, 中国不仅是世界钴的资源使用的转出 口国, 而且随着中国本土通讯业、 汽车业的市场发展, 业成为世界钴资源的实 际市场使用大国。 中国本土每年消耗的钴资源量在万吨以上, 因此, 发展循环 技术, 开发钴的二次资源的循环利用, 对解决中国钴资源的贫乏问题和促进现 代工业持续增长至关重要。  Nowadays, various countries are conducting technology research and development of recycling technology using secondary resources. China's economy is a fast-growing economy as a world manufacturing center. China is not only a transit country for the use of cobalt resources in the world, but with the development of China's domestic communications and automotive industries, the industry has become the real market for cobalt resources in the world. Use a big country. China's domestic consumption of cobalt resources is more than 10,000 tons per year. Therefore, the development of recycling technology and the recycling of secondary resources for the development of cobalt are crucial to solving the problem of poor cobalt resources in China and promoting the continued growth of modern industries.
中国正在成为世界高能电池和硬质合金的制造基地, 至 2006年, 中国锂 离子电池、镍氢电池的生产总量将达到世界的 60%以上, 顺应我国移动通讯和 电动汽车产业的发展, 每年用钴量已达 10000吨以上, 每年增长速度达到 20% 以上, 然而长期以来, 这种超细钴粉只有比利时等少数国家生产, 严重制约着 我国高能电池和高强度硬质合金的发展,必须发展开发自主知识产权的低成本 制造技术, 以降低超细钴粉的成本, 实现国产化。  China is becoming the world's manufacturing base for high-energy batteries and hard alloys. By 2006, the total production of lithium-ion batteries and nickel-hydrogen batteries in China will reach more than 60% of the world, in line with the development of China's mobile communication and electric vehicle industry. The amount of cobalt used has reached more than 10,000 tons, and the annual growth rate has reached more than 20%. However, for a long time, this ultra-fine cobalt powder has only been produced in a few countries such as Belgium, which seriously restricts the development of high-energy batteries and high-strength cemented carbides in China. Develop low-cost manufacturing technologies that develop independent intellectual property rights to reduce the cost of ultra-fine cobalt powder and achieve localization.
目前, 现有技术中制造钴粉的方法有羰基法、 电解法、 还原法、 雾化法等 四大类方法。  At present, the methods for producing cobalt powder in the prior art include a carbonyl method, an electrolysis method, a reduction method, and an atomization method.
羰基法为传统方法, 粒径可以达到 5-10 μ ιη以内, 形貌为球状或链球状。 该方法的优点是球状结构稳定, 导电性和过充过放电性能好,可以良好用于动 力镍氢电池的制造; 缺点是含碳量高 (0.2— 0.3%) , 会降低电池的容量且本 生产方法致癌, 是非环保方法, 生产装备严格、 投资大。  The carbonyl method is a conventional method, and the particle size can be within 5-10 μm, and the morphology is spherical or chain-like. The method has the advantages of stable spherical structure, good electrical conductivity and over-discharge and discharge performance, and can be well used for the manufacture of a power nickel-hydrogen battery; the disadvantage is that the carbon content is high (0.2-0.3%), which will reduce the capacity of the battery and The production method is carcinogenic, non-environmental, with strict production equipment and large investment.
电解法, 其生成出来的钴粉为枝状粉末, 用于粉末冶金工业。 这种方法的 缺点是能耗高、 成本高、 粒径粗(一般在 30 m左右) , 这种钴粉只能用于一 般粉末冶金制品, 不能用于电池和高强度粉末冶金制品。  In the electrolysis method, the cobalt powder produced is a dendritic powder and is used in the powder metallurgy industry. The disadvantages of this method are high energy consumption, high cost, and large particle size (generally around 30 m). This cobalt powder can only be used in general powder metallurgy products and cannot be used in batteries and high-strength powder metallurgy products.
雾化法有水雾化和气体雾化, 本法同电解法一样, 具有能耗高、 成本高、 粒径粗 (一般在 30 u m左右) 等缺点, 工业价值不大。  The atomization method has water atomization and gas atomization. This method has the same disadvantages as the electrolysis method, such as high energy consumption, high cost, and large particle size (generally around 30 u m), and the industrial value is not large.
还原法包括液相还原法和高温固相还原法, 液相还原法正在发展之中, 以 草酸钴为物料的高温还原法是目前钴粉生产的主要方法, 以比利时五矿公司等 公司为代表, 已经形成规模, 占钴粉生产量的 90%以上。但现有的这类钴粉形 状为不规则形状,在工艺上还没有一套可以很好地控制产品的粒度以及颗粒大 小、且可以稳定地批量生产的方法,在其使用设备上也存在很多问题需要解决。 发明内容 The reduction method includes liquid phase reduction method and high temperature solid phase reduction method, liquid phase reduction method is developing, and high temperature reduction method using cobalt oxalate as material is the main method of current cobalt powder production, represented by companies such as Belgian Minmetals Corporation. , has formed a scale, accounting for more than 90% of the production of cobalt powder. But the existing cobalt powder of this type The shape is irregular, and there is no set of methods for controlling the particle size and particle size of the product well, and it can be stably mass-produced in the process. There are also many problems to be solved in the equipment for use. Summary of the invention

(2 ) 还原:  (2) Restore:
将预还原后的晶体在 400-650Ό还原 1-10小时, 还原过程在氢气和氮气形 成还原气氛中进行,氢气和氮气的体积比为 3: 1,还原气体的通入量决定于前 驱体的量, 其比例关系以其中的氢气满足还原反应为准;  The pre-reduced crystal is reduced at 400-650 Torr for 1-10 hours, and the reduction process is carried out in a reducing atmosphere of hydrogen and nitrogen. The volume ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3: 1. The amount of reducing gas introduced is determined by the precursor. Quantity, the proportional relationship is based on which the hydrogen meets the reduction reaction;
( 3 )冷却  (3) cooling
在 N2 或 CO2 ^保护气氛中将晶体冷却、 惰化至室温, 即可制成粒径在 0.1〜2.0 μ m的纤维状或球状或类球状超细钴粉。 所述还原阶段又可分成多个升温阶段: 前低温段、 高温段, 前低温段比高 温段的温度低 30— 50°C:。所述冷却阶段可分成若干个温降阶梯,每个阶梯的温 差在 40— 80°C。 具体的***热还原制备超细钴粉可以是如下: The crystals are cooled and inerted to room temperature in a N 2 or CO 2 ^ protective atmosphere to obtain a fibrous or spherical or spheroidal ultrafine cobalt powder having a particle diameter of 0.1 to 2.0 μm. The reduction stage can be further divided into a plurality of temperature rising stages: a front low temperature section and a high temperature section, and the front low temperature section is 30-50 degrees lower than the temperature of the high temperature section: The cooling stage can be divided into several steps of temperature drop, and the temperature difference of each step is 40-80 °C. The specific blasting thermal reduction preparation of ultrafine cobalt powder can be as follows:
( 1 ) 预还原:  (1) Pre-reduction:
将制出的草酸钴或碳酸钴晶体在还原气体 N2或 C02的保护气氛中加热, 温 度为 200— 400°C还原 1-3小时,在该还原阶段使晶体脱水和进行预还原,使草 酸钴或碳酸钴晶体中的二氧化碳溢出, 其可以使晶体堆变得疏松, 即进行所谓 的***; The prepared cobalt oxalate or cobalt carbonate crystal is heated in a protective atmosphere of reducing gas N 2 or CO 2 at a temperature of 200-400 ° C for 1-3 hours, in which the crystal is dehydrated and pre-reduced, so that The carbon dioxide in the crystals of cobalt oxalate or cobalt carbonate overflows, which can make the crystal pile loose, that is, so-called blasting;
( 2 ) 还原:  ( 2 ) Restore:

The volume ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3:1, which can be conveniently used in practical applications. The liquid ammonia is decomposed to obtain a reducing gas: 2NH3—3H2+N2. Thus, the hydrogen required for reduction is conveniently obtained, and the protective nitrogen is also added, which is convenient, safer and cheaper than using hydrogen, and has better performance. Industrial applicability. The amount of the reducing gas to be introduced is determined by the amount of the precursor, and the proportional relationship is preferably such that the hydrogen therein satisfies the reduction reaction. '
对经过预还原阶段的所谓 "***"过程后的晶体进行还原, 与还原气体接 触, 疏松的粉末可以与还原气体更充分的接触, 因此, 分段加热在制备本超细 钴粉中有利于粉末疏松, 松比低, 且利于还原反应的进行, 还可以缩短反应时 间, 提高生产效率, 并使设备结构变得紧凑, 减少占地面积。  The crystal after the so-called "blasting" process in the pre-reduction stage is reduced, and the contact with the reducing gas, the loose powder can be more fully contacted with the reducing gas, therefore, the segment heating is beneficial to the powder in the preparation of the ultra-fine cobalt powder. Loose, low pine ratio, and favorable for the reduction reaction, can also shorten the reaction time, improve production efficiency, and make the structure of the device compact and reduce the floor space.
还原阶段又可以分成多个升温阶段: 前低温段、 高温段, 前低温段比高温 段的温度可以是低 30— 5(TC, 例如, 前低温段为 460°C, 在其中保温 40分钟, 再升温到高温段 500Ό, 保温 40分钟, 这样可以是加热均匀;  The reduction stage can be further divided into a plurality of heating stages: the front low temperature section and the high temperature section, and the temperature of the front low temperature section can be lower than the high temperature section by 30-5 (TC, for example, the former low temperature section is 460 ° C, and the temperature is kept therein for 40 minutes. Then heat up to 500 ° in the high temperature section and keep it for 40 minutes, which can be heated evenly;
( 3 ) 冷却  (3) cooling
在 Ν2或 C02的保护气氛中将晶体冷却、惰化至室温,即可制成粒径在 0.1〜 2 m的纤维状或球状超细钴粉。 The crystal is cooled or inerted to room temperature in a protective atmosphere of Ν 2 or C0 2 to obtain a fibrous or spherical ultrafine cobalt powder having a particle diameter of 0.1 to 2 m.
后冷却阶段还可以分成若干个温降阶梯,每个阶梯的温差可以在 100— 150 。C, 如降温到 460°C保温 20分钟, 继续降温到 300 °C保温 20分钟, 最后自然 冷却到室温。 多段降温可以降低晶体的冷却速度, 避免晶体结块和降低晶体的 性能。  The post-cooling phase can also be divided into several steps of temperature drop, and the temperature difference of each step can be between 100 and 150. C, if it is cooled to 460 ° C for 20 minutes, continue to cool down to 300 ° C for 20 minutes, and finally naturally cool to room temperature. Multi-stage cooling can reduce the cooling rate of the crystal, avoid crystal agglomeration and reduce the performance of the crystal.
在上述还原过程中, 如果加热温度太低,还原不彻底, 晶体中的氧含量高, 65 如果温度太高, 则粒径长大, 比重过大。 In the above reduction process, if the heating temperature is too low, the reduction is not complete, and the oxygen content in the crystal is high, 65 If the temperature is too high, the particle size will grow and the specific gravity will be too large.

本实施例中所使用的二次原料为硬质合金废料块,其工艺流程图见图 3所 示, 其溶解工序使用的是电解溶解法。  The secondary raw material used in this embodiment is a cemented carbide scrap, and the process flow chart is shown in Fig. 3, and the dissolution process uses electrolytic dissolution.
在一电解槽中注入浓度为 1. 5- 5克当量 /升盐酸溶液, 在其中设置由聚氯 乙稀孔板制成的阳极筐, 在该筐中装入硬质合金废料块作为阳极。在电解槽中 ***导电板作为阴极, 其可以是石墨板, 最好采用钛金属板。 该阴极和阳极连 接直流电源。 槽电压控制在 1. 5- 4. 0V, 电流密度为 50- 300安培 /米 2时, 电解 槽中的盐酸的浓度始终保持在 1. 5-5克当量 /升, 当其在电解过程中浓度下降 时, 及时补充盐酸。 An electrolytic solution having a concentration of 1.5 - 5 gram equivalents per liter of hydrochloric acid was placed in an electrolytic cell, and an anode basket made of a polyvinyl chloride orifice plate was placed therein, and a cemented carbide scrap block was placed in the basket as an anode. A conductive plate is inserted as a cathode in the electrolytic cell, which may be a graphite plate, preferably a titanium metal plate.

硬质合金材料中含有较多的碳化钨, 在从中电解溶钴中, 碳化钨不溶解, 可以回收, 再加工成碳化钨粉末, 重新用于硬质合金材料的制作。在电解过程 中, 硬质合金表面上会形成一层碳化钨壳, 它会导致阳极钝化。 因此, 在电解 过程中应及时进行去壳。可以通过将形成碳化钨壳的硬质合金置入球磨机中研 磨去壳, 定期人工振动盛在聚氯乙稀筐中的合金也有破壳的作用。  The cemented carbide material contains a large amount of tungsten carbide. In the electrolytically dissolved cobalt, the tungsten carbide is not dissolved, can be recovered, and is processed into tungsten carbide powder, which is reused for the production of the cemented carbide material. During the electrolysis process, a layer of tungsten carbide shell is formed on the surface of the cemented carbide, which causes the anode to be passivated. Therefore, the shelling should be carried out in time during the electrolysis process. The hard alloy which forms the tungsten carbide shell can be placed in a ball mill to be etched and shelled, and the alloy artificially vibrating in the polyvinyl chloride basket at regular intervals also has the function of breaking the shell.
当电解液中钴的浓度达到 70克 /升以上时,将其引出电解槽即为粗氯化钴 盐溶液。 重新注入新的盐酸溶液。 电解溶液工序得到继续进行。 接下来对于电 解液的处理见图, 且与实施例 1基本相同。 实施例 4:  When the concentration of cobalt in the electrolyte reaches 70 g / liter or more, it is taken out of the electrolytic cell to be a crude cobalt chloride salt solution.
