Abstract:
Based on mass balance principle and simultaneous equilibrium principle, the metal element Me (Co, Ni, Fe, Mn), complexing agent of OH- and NH3, and precipitant of OH-, S2- and CO32- were chosen to form the complexation-precipitation systems of Me-OH-, Me-OH--CO32-, Me-OH--S2-, Me-OH--NH3 and Me-OH--NH3-CO32-. The thermodynamic equilibriums of these systems were studied. The results show that Fe3+in systems of Me-OH- and Me-OH--NH3 can be separated by precipitation through adjusting the pH value to 3. However, Co, Ni and Mn can be separated only in Me-OH--NH3-CO32- system. The theoretical calculations show that the behavior of Co, Ni and Mn in Me-OH--NH3-CO32- system is affected by pH value, complexing agent concentration and precipitant concentration. The increase of the total concentration of carbonate [C] is in favor of the precipitation of Ni, Co and Mn, but the increase of the total ammonia concentration [N] has the opposite effect. When [C]=1 mol/L, [N]=2 mol/L and pH value of 9-10, most Ni is complexed in the solution in the form of senior ammonia complexes [Ni(NH3)42+] and [Ni(NH3)52+], [Ni(NH3)62+], while Co and Mn precipitate in MnCO3and CoCO3. Finally, Co can be separated with Mn from the solution in Me-OH--S2- system when pH
