摘要
Beryllium is usually extracted from mineral ores at present, and the minerals are mainly beryl, bertrandite or phenakite, etc. With the increasing depletion of beryllium mineral resources, alternative beryllium mineral resources should be sought, thus the exploitation of beryllium minerals continues to expand. However, these alternative beryllium minerals generally contain large amounts of fluorite, and the content of fluorine is very high in the ores; in the smelting process for producing industrial beryllium oxide, it is usually required that the fluorine to beryllium ratio of these minerals is less than 10%, and if the fluorine content in the minerals is high, it will seriously affect the quality of industrial beryllium oxide and smelting recovery rate. Therefore, it is the key to remove fluoride from leaching solution and thus eliminate the effect of fluoride during the fluoride beryllium minerals smelting process. The purification process of high fluorine beryllium minerals leaching solution was studied, and a co-precipitation method of purifying beryllium-containing leach solution was put forward. In the purification process, the influencing factors such as final pH, temperature, time, and concentration of ammonium sulfate were studied. The co-precipitation conditions were: pH=3.5~4.0, temperature of 95℃, time of 6 h, precipitant(ammonia) concentration of 10%. The precipitate was slurried and washed using 0.5 mol·L-1 ammonium sulfate. In this process, the impurity precipitation rates of aluminum, fluorine, iron were more than 97%, and the loss rate of beryllium was about 10%. ©, 2015, Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Rare Metals.
