Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 4, 2024 | pp. 1-6
The adsorption and separation of molybdenum from crude ammonium tungstate solution using ZGA351 macroporous strong base anion exchange resin were studied.The effects of resin type,sulfur content,aging time and temperature and pH of the feed solution,adsorption flow rate and adsorption temperature on the adsorption and separation of molybdenum by the resin were studied.The results show that using 100 mL ZGA351 resin in dynamic adsorption tests,the tungsten loss rate in the feed solution is only 0.54%when the tests are conducted under the optimal conditions of sulfur content of 1.1 times the theoretical amount,aging time at 40℃of 48 h,solution pH of 10.0,adsorption flow rate of 15 mL/h,and adsorption temperature of 40℃.The molybdenum penetration capacity of the resin is 107.77 g/L_(wet resin),which is 3.15 times higher than that of the HBDM-1 resin currently used in industrial production.In addition,the repeated experiments showcase good stability,and the average molybdenum-to-tungsten ratio of pure ammonium tungstate solution obtained after adsorption by ZGA351 resin is 0.88×10-4,which meets the requirement of molybdenum-to-tungsten ratio of pure ammonium tungstate solution to be less than 2×10-4for industrial production of APT products.In summary,the separation of molybdenum from crude ammonium tungstate solution by strong base anion exchange resin has the advantages of high molybdenum penetration capacity,low tungsten loss rate,high separation efficiency of tungsten from molybdenum,providing an effective technical reference for industrial applications.

Experimental Study on the Enhanced Leaching of Gallium and Germanium from Zinc Powder Replacement Residues

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 4, 2024 | pp. 17-26
To solve the problem of poor leaching effeciency in the extraction process of gallium and germanium from zinc powder replacement residues,this study first conducted atmospheric sulfuric acid leaching tests,investigating the influence of sulfuric acid concentration,reaction temperature,liquid-to-solid ratio,and reaction time on the leaching rates of Ga and Ge,and carried out kinetic analysis of the leaching process.Then,the enhanced leaching tests of Ga and Ge from zinc powder replacement residues were conducted by reduction leaching(sequentially using Na2SO3 and SO2 as reducing agents)and sulfation roasting-water leaching.The results show that under the optimum conditions of sulfuric acid concentration of 150 g/L,reaction temperature of 90℃,liquid-to-solid ratio of 5 mL/g,reaction time of 4 h,and stirring speed of 400 r/min,the leaching rates of Ga and Ge by atmospheric sulfuric acid leaching are 68.4%and 61.7%,respectively.The main phases in the acid leaching residue are PbSO4 and ZnAl2O4,and increasing acidity can further dissolve the residual jarosite and lead aluminum sulfate.The atmospheric sulfuric acid leaching processes of Ga and Ge are mainly controlled by internal diffusion with the apparent activation energies of the reactions of 18.06 kJ/mol and 16.02 kJ/mol,respectively.The leaching residue from the first stage of atmospheric sulfuric acid leaching underwent a second-stage reduction enhanced leaching.Using Na2SO3 as the reducing agent,Ga and Ge leaching rates reach 89.4%and 70.1%,respectively,under the conditions of 50 g/L H2SO4 and 3 g/L Na2SO3.And using SO2 as the reducing agent,Ga and Ge lea-ching rates reach 88.9%and 86.7%,respectively,under the conditions of SO2 partial pressure of 0.3 MPa,sulfuric acid concentration of 50 g/L,reaction temperature of 110℃,and reaction time of 3 h.The sulfation roasting-water leaching process significantly improves the Ga leaching efficiency from zinc powder replacement residues,while it is unfavorable to the leaching of Ge.Under the optimum conditions of acid residue volume-to-mass ratio of 1/2.5 mg/L,roasting temperature of 300℃,roasting time of 3 h,water leaching temperature of 80℃,liquid-to-solid ratio of 5 mg/L,and leaching time of 2 h,the leaching rate of Ga increases to 89.1%.

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 4, 2024 | pp. 27-33
Using copper powder and tungsten powder as raw materials,W-Cu alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering.The effects of different sintering temperatures and the additions of Y2O3 and Cr additives on the microstructure and physical and mechanical properties of the alloys were analyzed using SEM,XRD,Vickers hardness tester,electron densitometer,and conductivity tester.The experimental results show that as the sintering temperature increases,the distribution of W and Cu phases becomes more uniform,and the density,hardness,and conductivity of the alloys increase.The W-Cu alloy prepared at a sintering temperature of 1100℃exhibits the best comprehensive physical and mechanical properties.With the increase in Y2O3 content,the grains of the W-Cu alloys become finer,the hardness increases,while the density and conductivity decrease.In addition,with the increase in Cr content,the conductivity of the W-Cu alloys decreases,but the hardness and density increase slightly and then decrease significantly.The W-Cu-0.5Cr alloy possesses the best comprehensive physical and mechanical properties.Therefore,adding a small amount of additives can effectively improve the microstructure and physical and mechanical properties of the SPS products(W-Cu alloys).

Effect of Rare Earth Ce on Corrosion Resistance of Low-Carbon Microalloyed Steel

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 4, 2024 | pp. 48-53
To improve the corrosion resistance of low-carbon microalloyed steel in marine environments,the corrosion behavior of the test steel with different cerium(Ce)contents in a marine environment simulated with 3.5%NaCl solution was studied by employing metallographic microscope,SEM,EBSD,and electrochemical analysis.The results show that the microstructure of the test steel mainly consists of ferrite and pearlite.Ce can refine the grains,reduce the size of inclusions,and modify the Al2O3,MnS,and Al2O3+MnS inclusions in the test steel into MnS+CeAlO3 and Ce2O3.The modified inclusions significantly reduce the stress,thereby decreasing the probability of micropore and crack initiation.Additionally,the addition of Ce can decrease the corrosion current density of the test steel,increase the corrosion potential,reduce the content ofγ-FeOOH in the corrosion products,and increase the content ofα-FeOOH and Fe3O4,lowering the reaction activity and enhancing the protective effect of the rust layer on the substrate.Therefore,compared with low-carbon microalloyed steel without Ce addition,the low-carbon microalloyed steel with Ce addition exhibits better seawater corrosion resistance.

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 4, 2024 | pp. 54-58
Ti2AlNb alloy was prepared using high-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering(SPS).The effects of second-sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated by X-ray diffractometer(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),and universal tensile testing machine.The results show that the Ti2AlNb alloys prepared at different second-sintering temperatures consist of B2 phase,equiaxedα2 phase,and acicular O phase.When the second-sintering temperature is within the range of 900~950℃,the acicular O phase is precipitated as the second phase inside the B2 matrix phase,and the equiaxedα2 phase agglomerates among the B2 matrix phase.And the equiaxedα2 phase becomes less concentrated in its distribution and gradually decreases in its number in the range of second-sintering temperature from 1000℃to 1100℃.The Ti2AlNb alloy prepared at the second-sintering temperature of 1000℃possesses good mechanical properties,with a room-temperature tensile strength of 309 MPa and a Vickers hardness of 466.5 HV.
