Background technology
Take ilmenite concentrate as raw material, when adopting the sulfuric acid process preparing titanium dioxide, the iron in the ilmenite concentrate can dissolve in a large number, generates ferrous sulfate, and when separating with titanium liquid through freezing iron removal step, crystallization goes out FeSO
47H
2O (green vitriol).The TiO of the ilmenite concentrate of China's Panzhihua Region
2Content is about 47%, and when adopting this kind ilmenite concentrate to produce titanium white, 1 ton of titanium dioxide of every production obtains about 3.5 tons of by product green vitriols.Along with the expansion of Producing Titanium Dioxide ability, the green vitriol problem has become the important factor that the restriction sulfate process titanium dioxide is produced.Because the green vitriol purposes is narrower, be difficult to mass disposal, and green vitriol has stronger solubility, can't air storage store, seriously restricted the Sustainable development of titanium white enterprise.For ferrous sulfate comprehensive utilization, domesticly done a large amount of research, but owing to use quantitative limitation, the present still progress of achieving no breakthrough property.
Ferrox can be widely used in the tinting material of coating, dyestuff, pottery, glassware etc. as a kind of industrial chemicals, and the producing of novel battery material, sensitive materials.Ferrox is just causing people's extensive concern as the raw material of synthesis of anode material of lithium-ion battery LiFePO 4.
Ferrox FeC
2O
42H
2The common preparation method of O is to synthesize with ferrous ammonium sulphate and oxalic acid.Recent years, report and produce Ferrox with desulfurization slag and rhombohedral iron ore.No matter be adopt slag or ore deposit to produce Ferrox all need be through broken essence, fine grinding, acidleach, removal of impurities, the operation such as synthetic, operation is complexity comparatively, and it is higher to produce cost.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of method for preparing Ferrox, the by product green vitriol that the method produces when can the recycle ilmenite concentrate producing titanium white.
The present invention prepares Ferrox FeC
2O
42H
2The method of O, be by product green vitriol take the sulfuric acid process preparing titanium dioxide as raw material, concrete steps are as follows:
A, green vitriol are dissolved in water, and obtain copperas solution, and regulating the pH value with ammoniacal liquor is 5.6~6.5, filter;
B, filtrate extract with P2O4, separate to obtain organic phase and water;
C, aqueous phase adding contain the solution of F-with precipitation Mg
2+, filter, add oxalic acid solution in the filtrate, filter, namely get the Ferrox crystallization.
Further, the above-mentioned method for preparing Ferrox, in the described copperas solution of its a step
Fe
2+Concentration is preferably 75~85g/L.Fe
2+Concentration is excessively low, and then the oxalic acid utilization ratio reduces, Fe
2+Excessive concentration, then crystallization appears in copperas solution easily.
Wherein, the above-mentioned method for preparing Ferrox precipitates as far as possible fully in order to make the impurity such as calcium, aluminium, titanium, and its a step is regulated the pH value with ammoniacal liquor and is preferably 6.
Wherein, the above-mentioned method for preparing Ferrox also adds No. 260 kerosene as thinner during its b step extraction, and wherein, the volume ratio of P2O4 and No. 260 kerosene is 2: 2.5~3.5.Further, better in order to make effect of extracting, comparing during extraction is preferably: O/A=1.4~1.6: 1, i.e. the volume sum of P2O4 and No. 260 kerosene: the volume of b step filtrate=1.4~1.6: 1.
Wherein, above-mentioned c step is at precipitation Mg
2+The time, the F of adding and the Mg of aqueous phase
2+Mol ratio be preferably 2.08~2.12: 1 (most preferably 2.1: 1).In order to precipitate as much as possible fully, need to add slightly excessive F, if but the F adding is too much, then can lose the ferrous iron in the solution.
Further, in order as much as possible ferrous sulfate to be converted into Ferrox fully, above-mentioned c step is at precipitation Mg
2+Add excessive supersaturation oxalic acid solution in the rear filtration gained filtrate, filter, namely get the Ferrox crystallization.Can the Ferrox crystallization whether continue to produce to judge whether oxalic acid is excessive when adding oxalic acid solution, also can be by calculating Fe
2+Content is determined the add-on of oxalic acid.Wherein, above-mentioned supersaturation oxalic acid solution is to add excessive oxalic acid preparation in 92~97 ℃ the deionized water to get.
Further, in order to obtain the higher Ferrox of purity, the crystallization of above-mentioned c step gained Ferrox is also through 92~97 ℃ deionized water wash, oven dry and pulverization process step below 100 ℃.
Further, the solution of the described F of containing of above-mentioned c step is preferably NH
4F solution.Add NH
4F solution can be so that the washing of Ferrox crystallization reduces the washing difficulty.
Further, in order to save production cost, avoid the wasting of resources, the separating obtained organic phase of above-mentioned b step is also stripped with the sulphuric acid soln of 2~3mol/L, makes organic phase regeneration, for recycling; Wherein, being in a ratio of during reextraction: O/A=9~11: 1.
Because contain more foreign metal ion in the by product green vitriol of sulfuric acid process preparing titanium dioxide, as: Mg
2+, Al
3+Deng, so can not directly adopt oxalic acid and ferrous sulfate reaction preparation Ferrox, need to remove first impurity.The inventive method removal of impurity effect is better, and prepared Ferrox purity can be up to more than 98%.Because adopting the by product green vitriol of sulfuric acid process preparing titanium dioxide is raw material, raw materials cost is lower, not only solved the reluctant problem of green vitriol, also improved the economic use value of green vitriol, for the processing of the by product green vitriol of sulfuric acid process preparing titanium dioxide provides a kind of new selection, have broad application prospects.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with embodiment the specific embodiment of the present invention is further described, does not therefore limit the present invention among the described scope of embodiments.
Embodiment adopts the inventive method to prepare Ferrox
1,500 gram green vitriols (by product of sulfuric acid process preparing titanium dioxide) is dissolved in the 800ml boiling water, stirring and dissolving, in situation about stirring, slowly add 1: 1 (V/V) ammoniacal liquor (be commercially available strong aqua prepared in by volume 1: 1 with water), the pH value of regulator solution is 6, filter filtrate for later use;
2, solvent extraction
2.1 extraction: P2O4 and No. 260 kerosene were mixed with organic phase in 2: 3 by volume, and organic phase is mixed with the filtrate 1.5: 1 by volume (being O/A=1.5/1) of step 1, concussion 5min, and concussion progression is 3 grades.Separate and obtain organic phase and water.
2.2 strip: organic phase and concentration are the H of 2mol/L
