The process is applied of the calcium salt precipitation-Cr removal by washing in dilute hydrochloric acid and W and Mo separation with concentrated hydrochloric acid to recover the tungsten and molybdenum from high-Mo tungsten solution resulted from the waste superalloy treatment.The effects were investigated of pH value of calcium salt precipitation,hydrochloric acid concentration,reaction temperature,reaction time and liquid to solid ratio on separation of tungsten and molybdenum.The experimental results show that during calcium precipitation,tungsten and molybdenum precipitation rate is more than 99% with pH value of 9.5,CaCl_2 excess coefficient of 1.2,and temperature of 80~90 ℃.Chromium can be removed from solid precipitation by washing with dilute hydrochloric acid,and chromium removal rate get close to 100% with 3% hydrochloric acid concentration.In addition,tungsten in the insoluble solid was separated from molybdenum with concentrated hydrochloric acid.Under the conditions of hydrochloric acid concentration of 250g/L,reaction temperature of 65℃,reaction time of 30 min,and liquid to solid ratio of 3∶1,more than 98% molybdenum dissolves in solution,while tungsten exists in solid form of tungsten acid.Thus,the separation of tungsten,molybdenum and chromium is realized.
