Problems solved by technology

During the second step of decomposition, the pH is controlled within the range of 0.1-1.0, the temperature is 104°C, and after stirring for 0.5h, gallium and iron enter the precipitated solid phase and return to the first decomposition device, while aluminum and alkali metals are enriched in the solution phase and are eliminated. Send it to the subsequent aluminum extraction process, so that gallium can be enriched and extracted after 30 cycles. This method has harsh conditions, long process flow, and high energy consumption, so the actual application value is not great
[0005] None of the above processes and research involves the method of selective leaching and recovery of alum and gallium from alunite concentrate, so it is of great significance to seek a process for the comprehensive recovery of gallium and alum with simple process and good comprehensive recovery effect

example 1

[0023] Example 1: the alunite concentrate is first placed in a muffle furnace for roasting, and the roasting condition is 400 ° C of temperature and 0.5 hour time; the calcined sand obtained is leached at a low sulfuric acid concentration once, and the primary leaching condition is L / S=4 , temperature 90 ℃, time 0.5 hours, acidity 40g / L, solid-liquid separation after acid leaching is completed, the solution is naturally crystallized to obtain alum product and the mother liquor after crystallization, the crystallized alum is taken out, and the crystallization mother liquor is added to the acidity of 40g / L and returned to For acid leaching of calcined sand, the leaching residue is slurried and then leached at high sulfuric acid concentration. Liquid separation, the filtrate is supplemented with sulfuric acid concentration to 150g / L and then returned to secondary acid leaching. The circulating liquid obtained after 5 cycles of this cycle contains 300mg / L of gallium, and ion exchan...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for selectively recovering alum and gallium from alunite concentrate, wherein the alunite concentrate is obtained through flotation from tailings after copper concentrate and sulfur concentrate are selected from copper ore. The method comprises the following steps of: calcining the alunite concentrate to obtain a calcine and leaching metal ions such as aluminum ions and potassium ions from the calcine under low sulfuric acid concentration firstly; after solid-liquid separation, crystallizing a filtrate to form alum and crystallization mother liquor; returning the mother liquor to the low sulfuric acid concentration for leaching to obtain leached residue, and leaching rare metal gallium from the leached residue under high sulfuric acid concentration after carrying out size mixing on the leached residue; after allowing the gallium to achieve a certain concentration by circulating leachate for multiple times, recovering the gallium in circulating solution by adopting an ion exchange or extraction method; and after gallium recovery, cooling the solution for crystallizing alum. Therefore the difficulties in recovering alum and scattered metal gallium from the alunite concentrate are solved.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for selectively recovering alum and gallium from alumite concentrates, in particular to a method for synthesizing alumite concentrates obtained by flotation of tailings obtained after copper concentrates and sulphur concentrates are selected from copper ore. Process for the recovery of alum and gallium. 2. Background technology [0002] At present, the main raw materials for gallium extraction at home and abroad are bauxite and by-products of zinc smelting, etc. There are also research reports on the extraction of gallium from secondary resources containing gallium, coal soot, iron ore, corundum and other raw materials. More than 90% of the primary gallium comes from the by-products of alumina production, and about 10% comes from the by-products of zinc smelting. The bauxite generally contains 30-80 g / t of gallium, with an average content of 50 g / t. Although gallium is mainly extracted from bauxite, the extraction ...
