Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 5, 2023 | pp. 8-14
Aiming at the problems of low lithium recovery efficiency and difficult lithium-sodium separation in the current wet recycling process of spent battery cathode materials,a synergistic extraction system of LIX54/Cyanex923 was proposed for the selective extraction of lithium from lithium-containing sodium sulfate solution.The experimental results show that for the synthetic feed solution containing 0.5 g/L Li and 50 g/L Na,98.72%of lithium in a single contact is extracted by the organic phase consisting of 0.4 mol/L LIX54,0.2 mol/L Cyanex923,and sulfonated kerosene with an O/A ratio of 1∶1 and equilibrium pH of 12.5 at 30℃for 10 min,resulting in a separation factor of lithium from sodium reaching 1578.After three-stage simulated counter-current extraction at an O/A ratio of 1∶5 and equilibrium pH of 12.5,over 99%of lithium is extracted,leaving less than 0.01 g/L Li in raffinate.After two-stage counter-current scrubbing with 1 mol/L HCl at an O/A ratio of 8∶1,nearly 98%sodium is elated,leaving 0.05 g/L Na in the organic phase.After two-stage counter-current scrubbing with 1 mol/L HCl at an O/A ratio of 8∶1,nearly 98%sodium is eluted,leaving 0.05 g/L Na in the organic phase.After scrubbing,the loaded organic phase undergoes two-stage counter-current stripping with 3 mol/L HCl at an O/A ratio of 6∶1.The stripping rate of lithium reaches over 99%and the lithium concentration is enriched up to 16.93 g/L in the strip liquor.The LIX54/Cyanex923 synergistic extraction system can effectively recover lithium from lithium-containing sodium sulfate solution selectively and realize the deep separation of lithium from sodium and the enrichment of lithium at high magnification.

Study on the Enrichment and Extraction Process of Germanium from Germanium-Containing Dust

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 5, 2023 | pp. 22-27
In recent years,the declining grade of the mined germanium-containing ores has led to a decrease in the grade of germanium-containing dust,resulting in increased consumption of reagents and environmental pressure in the process of germanium extraction by chlorination distillation.Taking the germanium-containing dust produced by a factory in Lincang,Yunnan,as the research object,germanium from it was enriched through processes of reduction volatilization,cyclic leaching,and neutralizing precipitation.X-ray diffractometer and atomic absorption spectrometer were used to analyze the phase composition and element content of raw materials and products,and the influence of various factors on the germanium enrichment rate during the enrichment process was also investigated.The results show that the optimal process para-meters for industrial production include a roasting temperature of 1100℃,a reductant dosage of 12.5%,a reagent concentration of 20%,a water bath temperature of 80℃,a liquid pH of 3,and a precipitation do-sage of 20 times.Under such optimized conditions,the germanium grade increases from 0.97%to 28.56%after reduction volatilization,cyclic leaching,and neutralization precipitation of the germanium-containing dust,with an enrichment factor reaching 29.4 times and a germanium recovery rate of 96.49%.The extraction of germanium from germanium-containing dust using this process is feasible and offers advantages of high germanium recovery rate,low environmental pollution,short process duration,and low cost.

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 5, 2023 | pp. 32-35
To address the challenge of difficult leaching of valuable elements in high silicon cobalt white alloy,by employing sodium chlorate as an oxidant and adding Fe~(3+),one of the composition elements of the high silicon cobalt white alloy,as oxidation transformers in sulfuric acid system,the Co and Cu could be effectively leached from the high silicon cobalt white alloy while the leaching of silicon reduced.An orthogonal test was conducted to study the effects of initial Fe~(3+)concentration,particle size of the high silicon cobalt white alloy,and reaction temperature on leaching efficiency.Optimized process parameters were obtained,and economically favorable process parameters with lower leaching cost were determined according to the actual production demand.The optimized process parameters are as follows:initial Fe~(3+)concentration of 15 g/L,particle size of the high silicon cobalt white alloy less than 0.075 mm,and reaction temperature of 85℃.Among them,the initial Fe~(3+)concentration has the greatest impact on the leaching efficiency.Under the optimized process parameters for 5.5 h,the leaching rates of Co and Cu reach 99.3%and 98.7%,respectively.The economically favorable process parameters are as follows:initial Fe~(3+)concentration of 10 g/L,particle size of the white alloy ranging from 0.075 mm to 0.150 mm,and reaction temperature of 85℃.The leaching rates of Co and Cu after 6.7 h leaching reach 98.9%and 98.5%,respectively.

Influence of Spraying Distance on the Microstructure and Slurry Erosion Resistance of Nano WC-10Co4Cr Coating Prepared by Internal HVOF

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 5, 2023 | pp. 36-43
Nano WC-10Co4Cr coatings were prepared on ZG0Cr13Ni5Mo stainless steel by internal oxygen-propane HVOF spraying,and the effects of spraying distance on the macro/micro structure and slurry erosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by two types of internal guns at 45°and 90°.The phase composition of the coatings was measured by X-ray diffraction(XRD),the microstructure of cross section of the coatings was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM),and the porosity was analyzed by metallographic microscope.The microhardness of the coatings was measured by Vickers hardness tester while the surface roughness and 3D morphology were characterized using roughness meter and optical profilometer.The slurry erosion resistance of the coatings and stainless steel substrate was compared using slurry erosion tester,and the erosion wear mechanism was analyzed by SEM.The results show that the main phase composition of the coatings prepared by 45°and 90°internal guns consists of WC,W2C and amorphous CoCr alloy phases,which are not affected by the spraying distance.Short spraying distances result in the formation of pores defects in the coatings and the porosity initially decreases and then increases with the increase of spraying distance.Though the microhardness of the coating prepared by the 90°spray gun receives minimal influence from the spraying distance,the coating microhardness of the 45°spray gun shows a decreasing trend after the spraying distance increases to 150 mm,and the maximum hardness va-lues of the coatings prepared by the two spray guns are 1343.1 HV0.2and 1275.4 HV0.2,respectively.For both guns,short spraying distances lead to the formation of raised agglomeration particles on the coating surface,while the roughness decreases with the increasing spraying distance.With the increase of the spraying distance,the erosion resistance of the coatings increases at first and then decreases gradually,and the highest erosion resistance of the coatings prepared by 45°and 90°internal guns is achieved at the spraying distances of 200 mm and 250 mm,respectively,corresponding to 7.03 times and 8.05 times that of the substrate.The slurry erosion wear mechanism of nano WC-10Co4Cr coatings is mainly attributed to fatigue spalling under alternating stress,and that of stainless steel substrate is slurry micro-cutting.

Study on Preparation and Performance of Composite Silicide Coating on Nb-W Alloy for Space Engine

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 5, 2023 | pp. 44-49
The laminated slurry melting method was used to prepare the composite silicide coating on Nb-W alloy,aiming at comprehensively improving the long-range oxidation resistance under static load and thermal shock resistance of the alloy.The results show that the coating has good resistance to high temperature and oxidation,with a static oxidation resistance of over 640 min at 1800℃and thermal shock resistance of over 680 times at 1700℃.It can also withstand the impingement of oxyacetylene flame at 1500℃for 3600 s.After the long-range oxidation test,the coating begins to deplete Si while the Nb content significantly increases due to diffusion.And as the Nb-rich oxides start to appear in the surface layer of the coating,the coating fails.In addition,there still is a mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient between the coating and the Nb-W alloy,which results in macroscopic cracks in the coating after 680 times of thermal shock tests at 1700℃,thus leading to the failure of the coating.
