Abstract:

To address the problems of intensive water consumption and high production of ammonia-containing wastewater in the defluorination washing process of niobium hydroxide powders, a ceramic membrane-based technology and process for niobium hydroxide powder washing was developed. The effects of membrane pore size, washing sequence and washing liquid usage on the removal of F- impurities from niobium hydroxide slurry were investigated. The final product purity and economic efficiency were compared between the ceramic membrane-based and the traditional pressure filter-based methods. The results showed that constant volume diafiltration washing was the best way for removing F- in niobium hydroxide slurry. When the ratio of material to washing liquid was 1∶60kg/L, the F- content in normal niobium hydroxide slurry reached the standard by using the α-Al2O3 ceramic membrane with a pore size of 200nm. The α-Al2O3 ceramic membrane with a pore size of 50nm could efficiently wash the ultra-fine niobium hydroxide powder. Both ceramic membranes indicated good stability in the application of niobium hydroxide powder washing. The ceramic membrane-based washing method showed excellent purification effect on niobium hydroxide as well as the final product Nb2O5. The method was obviously better than the pressure filter-based method in terms of removal impurities and saving operation cost. Therefore, the ceramic membrane-based washing process offered high technical and economic feasibility for promoting the green development of tantalum-niobium hydrometallurgy.

摘要:

针对氢氧化铌粉体脱氟洗涤过程耗水量大、含氨废水产量高的问题,本文开发了基于陶瓷膜的氢氧化铌粉体洗涤技术与工艺。考察了膜孔径、洗涤方式、洗涤液用量等参数对氢氧化铌浆料脱氟(F-)效果的影响;在最终五氧化二铌(Nb2O5)产品纯度以及经济性方面对比了陶瓷膜法与传统压滤法洗涤氢氧化铌粉体工艺的不同。结果表明,恒体积渗滤洗涤方式对于去除氢氧化铌浆料中F-效果最好。采用200nm膜孔径的α-Al2O3陶瓷膜,当料液比为1∶60kg/L时,常规氢氧化铌浆料中F-含量达标,50nm孔径的α-Al2O3陶瓷膜可以对超细氢氧化铌粉体实现高效洗涤,两种膜在氢氧化铌粉体洗涤应用中均展现出较好的稳定性。陶瓷膜洗涤法对氢氧化铌及其最终产品Nb2O5的除杂效果显著,且在降低成本方面均明显优于压滤洗涤法。因此,基于陶瓷膜的洗涤工艺具有较高的技术与经济可行性,将有力促进我国钽铌湿法冶金绿色化发展。
