Extraction of copper from refractory copper oxide ore using a roasting—acid leaching process was investigated.The effects of roasting and leaching conditions on the copper leaching rate were examined. The results show that under the optimal conditions of -200 mesh grinding fineness of 70%,roasting temperature of 850 ℃,roasting time of 1 h,coal addition of 8%,liquid volume to solid mass ratio of 2/1,H2SO4 concentration of 15%,leaching temperature of 60 ℃ and leaching time of 3 h,the copper leaching rate can reache 91.03%.The process is demonstrated to be economically efficient for extracting copper from refractory copper oxide ore and is considered to have potential for broader application.
To address fiber shrinkage embrittlement and consequent mechanical degradation during surface modification of polyamidoxime (PAO) adsorbents,a "core-shell heterostructure stress transfer" strategy was proposed.A coaxial electrospinning technique was employed to fabricate PS@PAO nanofibers with a polystyrene (PS) flexible core and rigid PAO shell.Microstructural analysis results show that PS@PAO exhibits uniform core-shell architecture (≈200 nm diameter, ≈50 nm thickness) with a specific surface area of 6.22 m2/g,representing a 38% enhancement over pristine PAO fibers. Mechanical testing results demonstrate 13.8% and 30.1% improvements in tensile strength (0.66 MPa) and Young's modulus (34.84 MPa),respectively.Dynamic contact angle measurements show that favorable hydrophilicity with water contact angle decreasing from 30° to 21° within 1 s. When PS@PAO is used to adsorb uranium from seawater with pH of 8.0 and uranium mass concentration of 16 mg/L for 48 h,the adsorption capacity is 34.14 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics analysis results indicate compliance with the pseudo-second-order model,with chelation between uranyl ions ( ) and amidoxime groups identified as the dominant mechanism.Through comprehensive investigation of material architecture,uranium extraction performance,and adsorption mechanisms,this study can provide theoretical foundations and scalable fabrication guidance for developing high-stability marine uranium extraction materials.
The removal of uranium bound to organic matter in real uranium-contaminated soil from a certain mining area was studied by using a combined oxidation washing process.The removal effects of uranium by two different new oxidation-washing systems(EDTA-H2O2 and SDS-H2O2)were compared.The effects of key parameters such as pH,liquid volume to solid mass ratio,oxidant concentration,and washing agent concentration on removal rate of uranium were investigated through single-factor experiments.The process conditions were optimized by response surface methodology,and the optimal conditions were determined.The results show that the removal rate of uranium by the EDTA-H2O2 system is 52.8% under the conditions of pH=4,liquid volume to solid mass ratio of 15/1,H2O2 concentration of 3%,and EDTA concentration of 100 mmol/L.After optimizing the process conditions by response surface methodology,the removal rate can be increased to 56.3%.The removal rate of uranium by the SDS- H2O2 system is 26.8% under the conditions of pH=4,liquid volume to solid mass ratio of 10/1,H2O2 concentration of 3%,and SDS concentration of 20 mmol/L.After optimizing the process conditions by response surface methodology,the removal rate can be increased to 29.5%.The removal effects of the two oxidation-washing systems are significantly better than those of single washing agents and single oxidants (EDTA 24.12%,SDS 0.66%,H2O2 13.81%).The process can effectively break the complex of organic matter and uranium,significantly improve the remediation efficiency of real uranium-contaminated soil,and provide a feasible solution for uranium pollution control in mining areas.
In view of the problem of secondary environmental pollution caused by acid leaching system for recycling waste lithium cathode materials,a green leaching system for obtaining cobalt carbonate with high efficiency was studied.The cobalt from waste lithium batteries was recovered by ammonia leaching—ion exchange resin method.The results show that under the conditions of ammonia concentration of 5 mol/L,NH4Cl concentration of 0.7 mol/L,(NH4)2SO3 concentration of 0.5 mol/L,temperature of 140 ℃,liquid volume to solid mass ratio of 20 g/1 L and reaction time of 50 min,the leaching rates of Co,Li and Ni are 88.0%,90.0% and 92.5%,respectively.Under the condition of temperature of 20 ℃ and flow rate of 1 mL/min,150 mL of ammonia leaching solution is selectively adsorbed by 40 g CH-90 resin,and the adsorption capacity of Co is 9.06 mg/g.FT-IR,SEM and XPS characterization results show that cobalt is exchanged with Na+ in the functional group of the resin and adsorbed on the resin in the form of [Co(NH3)i]2+.CoCO3 products with purity exceeding 97.5% are obtained by using sodium carbonate precipitation to recover cobalt carbonate,after elution,precipitation and impurity removal.
The determination of alkyl mercury in water by distillation—purge and trap/gas chromatography-cold atomic fluorescence spectrometry was studied. The detection limit,precision and accuracy of the method were determined,and the factors affecting the effect of distillation and the optimum test conditions were determined.The results show that the detection limit of methymercury is 0.003 1 ng/L and that of ethylmercury is 0.002 8 ng/L.The adding standard recovery rates of both are 99.4%~104%,and the relative standard deviations(RSD) are 1.02%~1.34%. The factors affecting distillation effect are hydrochloric acid and saturated copper sulfate adclition.For 40 mL of pure water,the optimal addition amounts of concentrated hydrochloric acid and saturated copper sulfate are 80 and 200 μL,respectively.When the addition amount of alkylmercury are 4.00,40.0 and 400 pg,the recovery rates are all in line with the quality control requirements. The recovery rate of alkyl mercury adding standard can be significantly improved after distillation treatment in actual lake water.
Synthesization of mesoporous γ-AlOOH adsorbent via direct aging-ammonium salt substitution combined method in the presence of a desalting agent using metallurgical alumina hydroxide as raw material was investigated,and it was used for the adsorption of Congo red in wastewater.The physical phase and microscopic morphology of mesoporous γ-AlOOH were characterized by XRD,FT-IR,SEM,BET-BJH methods.The results show that the adsorption amount of Congo red by mesoporous γ-AlOOH adsorbent can reach 586.78 mg/g and the removal rate is 97.80% under the conditions of temperature of 25 ℃,adsorbent dosage of 100 mg,Congo red mass concentration of 300 mg/L,adsorption time of 180 min and pH=4.The adsorption process is more consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model.The saturated adsorption capacity of mesoporous γ-AlOOH on Congo red is 1 965.265 mg/g at room temperature,and the adsorption process is spontaneous,heat absorption and chaotic.The main adsorption mechanism is the formation of hydrogen bonding between the adsorbent and adsorbate.
In view of the problems of high energy consumption,high equipment requirements and low flexibility in recovering rhenium from processing waste by traditional pyrometallurgical processes,the electrochemical enhanced leaching—precipitation crystallization method was studied to recover high-purity KReO4 crystals from rhenium secondary resources.The results show that when 22%~24% HNO3 solution is used as the electrolyte,there is no obvious passivation during the electrolysis process,and the energy consumption is stable at about 3.0 kWh/kg.During the electrolysis,Re atoms at the hexagonal lattice sites on the anode surface lose electrons,combine with hydroxyl groups and transform through low-valent oxidation states of Re to bridge oxygen connected Re(Ⅱ),and finally enter the electrolyte in the form of after reacting with the acid.When potassium salt is used as the precipitant to recover Re elements in the electrolyte,under the conditions of crystallization temperature of 25 ℃,precipitant flow rate of 6 mL/min,stirring rate of 500 r/min and crystallization time of 30 min,the precipitated KReO4 crystals are in the shape of polyhedral spindle,with good uniformity in particle size,high recovery rate and purity of 99.95%,which can meet the requirements for hydrogen reduction to prepare metallic rhenium.The method can effectively recover rhenium processing waste and has certain promotion value.
