Abstract:

The cyclic accumulation of Mg2+ in electrolytic manganese production system has become a common technical problem in the industry.Developing economical and practical magnesium removal method is in line with the technical development direction under the background of dual-carbon target.A complex salt crystallization method was studied to control the concentration of Mg2+ in electrolytic manganese system.Al2(SO43∙18H2O was added into the manganese sulfate solution to generate amorphous Al(OH)3.Based on the special properties of amorphous Al(OH)3 and the traditional double salt crystallization technology,the concentration of Mg2+ in the manganese sulfate solution was controlled below 20 g/L.And the precursor of Mn-Mg-Al oxide with certain added value was obtained.By means of XRD,EDS and ICP-MS,the following conclusions were obtained by single factor and orthogonal experiment:when aluminum salt was added with aluminum magnesium molar ratio of 0.3,the reaction temperature was 80 ℃,the reaction pH was 6 and the reaction time was 1 h,the Mg2+ distribution coefficient was 0.43,the Mn2+ loss rate was 31.51%,the Mg2+ concentration in the solution was 17.525 g/L,and the Al3+ concentration was 0.205×10-3 g/L,which reached the expected goal and ensured the healthy operation of the electrolytic manganese production system.
