Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, relates to a method for extracting and separating chromium from an alkaline vanadium-chromium-containing solution, and particularly relates to a method for extracting and separating chromium from a strong alkaline vanadium-chromium-containing solution.

Background

Vanadium and chromium are adjacent in position in the periodic table of elements and similar in properties, and often exist in vanadium titano-magnetite in a co-associated form in nature, and because the content of vanadium in the vanadium titano-magnetite is generally low, the extraction of vanadium in the vanadium titano-magnetite is often realized by processes of concentrate smelting, extraction of vanadium from molten iron, extraction of vanadium oxide from vanadium slag and the like. At present, the process for extracting vanadium from vanadium slag mainly comprises a pyrogenic process roasting process and a wet process liquid phase oxidation process, wherein the pyrogenic process roasting process comprises sodium salt roasting, calcification roasting, blank roasting and the like, and the wet process liquid phase oxidation process generally uses strong alkali as a medium.

At present, the method for separating vanadium and chromium from solution mainly comprises a precipitation method, a crystallization method, an ion exchange method, a solvent extraction method and the like. The precipitation method mainly utilizes the difference of precipitation conditions of vanadium and chromium in a solution, and precipitates the vanadium and the chromium in the solution step by controlling the pH value of the solution or adding a precipitator. The crystallization method is similar to the precipitation method, and usually adopts fractional crystallization, namely a method of firstly cooling and crystallizing to obtain vanadate, and then evaporating and crystallizing to obtain chromate to realize the primary separation of vanadium and chromium. The method is generally suitable for extracting vanadium from vanadium slag or extracting vanadium and chromium together by using alkali solutions such as NaOH and KOH, for example, CN 102127655A, CN 102534232A and CN101812588A realize the co-extraction of vanadium and chromium in vanadium slag. However, the fractional crystallization method is limited by separation efficiency and solution entrainment, and the obtained vanadate intermediate product can carry chromium, so that the subsequent conversion of the product is greatly influenced.

The ion exchange method is to separate vanadium and chromium in an aqueous solution by taking anion exchange resin as a separation medium, and the difference of the adsorption capacity of the ion exchange resin on the vanadium and chromium is regulated and controlled by controlling the pH value of the solution. Although the method has good effect of separating vanadium and chromium, the adsorption capacity of the resin is limited, the regeneration performance is not good, the problems of large resin consumption and high production cost can be caused, the operation is complex, and large-scale continuous production is not easy to realize. CN 107190155 a discloses a method for extracting vanadium and chromium from a mixed solution containing vanadium and chromium, which comprises adsorbing and separating vanadium in the solution by using exchange resin under acidic condition, desorbing vanadium and further precipitating vanadium to prepare vanadate, and precipitating chromium to obtain chromium product.

The solvent extraction method for separating vanadium and chromium has the advantages of good separation effect, large extraction capacity, easiness in continuous production and the like, but the existing vanadium and chromium separation method mostly focuses on the fact that a solution is acidic, neutral or weakly alkaline, and mainly extracts and separates vanadium. The pH value of the solution obtained after the vanadate is dissolved is more than 11-14, the concentration of vanadium in the solution is high, the concentration of chromium in the solution is low, the existing method is adopted, acid needs to be added firstly to adjust the pH value of the solution, the steps are complex, the vanadium-chromium separation efficiency is low, and efficient separation of chromium is difficult to achieve. CN 104694749 a discloses a method for extracting and separating vanadium and chromium from an alkaline aqueous solution, wherein an amine extractant is used to extract and separate vanadium and chromium from an alkaline aqueous solution, but the extraction saturation capacity of the extractant on vanadium is reduced by the impurities, and the impurities are precipitated together with vanadium in the subsequent vanadium precipitation operation to affect the purity of the product.

In summary, finding a method for simply and efficiently separating vanadium and chromium in a solution under a strong alkaline condition is one of the problems to be solved urgently.
