Description

Method for dissolving noble metal by photocatalysis
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of precious metal recovery, in particular to a method for dissolving precious metal by photocatalysis.
Background
Noble metals are very popular for use in production and life, and are very important industrial raw materials in modern industry. However, noble metals have limited resources, and excessive exploitation and smelting not only bring adverse effects to the environment, but also occupy 7% -8% of the energy supply worldwide. The recovery of precious metals consumes less energy than primary mining while reducing the overall impact on the mineral mining site. However, precious metal recovery is still maintained at a low level, subject to process and recovery costs.
The existing noble metal extraction method mainly comprises a chemical method and an electrolytic method, wherein the electrolytic method is to utilize a cathode column to adsorb noble metal elements for recovery, but in the electrolytic process, along with the increase of the noble metal elements adsorbed by the cathode column, the adsorption capacity of the cathode column to the noble metal is gradually reduced, and the residual electrolyte can only be discharged for secondary electrolysis, so that the whole operation is complicated and the recovery efficiency is low. The process of dissolving noble metal with aqua regia and strong acid mixture includes the steps of using hydrochloric acid as complexing agent, using nitric acid, chlorine or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and forming coordination complex with noble metal to recover noble metal. However, this technique cannot avoid the use and post-treatment of strong acids, which is a serious hazard to the environment and the operators of use. The recovery of noble metals by electrolysis is usually carried out by substitution reaction of noble metals with other active metals, and is usually accompanied by a temperature raising operation for increasing the reaction rate, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering noble metals. However, such methods consume electrical energy continuously, which is not beneficial to sustainable development of energy.

For a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are further illustrated, but are not limited to the following examples.
The raw materials and reagents used in the examples were all obtained from commercial sources.
In the embodiment, the dissolution reaction is carried out in the condensing device, so that the pollution caused by volatilization of acetonitrile and dichloromethane to the environment is avoided, meanwhile, the condensing device is adopted to recycle the acetonitrile and the dichloromethane, the solvent can be recycled for more than 10 times, and the dissolution rate of noble metals is basically similar.
In an embodiment, the dissolution process is as follows:
(1) Dissolving: and pumping the solvent into a reaction kettle through a peristaltic pump, feeding the waste sample into the reaction kettle at one time, and dissolving out the materials under the irradiation of ultraviolet light/visible light. The reaction process is continuously stirred, the raw material liquid is gradually changed from colorless to light yellow, then gradually changed into golden yellow, and the noble metal is successfully dissolved in the raw material liquid.
(2) And (3) evaporation: the raw material liquid is separated and flows into the evaporation reaction kettle through a solid-liquid separation technology, a heating device is started to continuously glow the liquid, steam is condensed by a condensing pipe and then flows back to become colorless liquid, and the colorless liquid is collected in a collecting bottle and is further conveyed into the dissolution reaction kettle through a pump for recycling. Finally, only golden yellow solid salt is left in the evaporation reaction kettle, and the lifting device is started to take out the golden yellow solid salt.
(3) Roasting: and taking out the yellow solid salt obtained after evaporation, sending the yellow solid salt to a baking device unit, and heating to 500 ℃ in the atmosphere of hydrogen-argon mixed gas to finally obtain the high-purity noble metal solid.
Example 1
50Mg of ultra-low noble metal-loaded material (the loading of noble metal is 0.01-0.05wt%, and the noble metal comprises Ag, au, pt and Pd), and 50mg of titanium dioxide are added into a mixed solution of acetonitrile and dichloromethane (V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) = 2:7, wherein the mixed solution of acetonitrile and dichloromethane can submerge the ultra-low noble metal-loaded material), after the ultra-low noble metal-loaded material is irradiated by ultraviolet light for 4 hours, the solution is centrifuged, and the leaching amount of the noble metal in the solution is tested. The dissolution rate of noble metals in the solution before and after ICP detection reaction is close to 100 percent (95% -99%). The change rule of the dissolution rate with time is shown in figure 1.
Example 2
The difference from example 1 was only that the ultra-low noble metal-loaded material was replaced with a centimeter-sized bulk electronic CPU material (1 cm. Times.1 cm), a millimeter-sized bulk electronic CPU material (1 mm. Times.1 mm), and a micrometer-sized bulk electronic CPU material (1 μm. Times.1 μm), respectively.
The scanning electron microscope of the block electronic CPU material before dissolution is shown in figure 2, and it can be seen that the metal Cu, ni, ag, au is distributed on the CPU board. The dissolution data of the bulk noble metal is shown in figure 3. The results showed that the dissolution rates were all close to 100% (95% -99%).
Example 3
The only difference from example 1 is that the ultra low noble metal loading material was replaced with ore and the dissolution rate of noble metal in the ore was tested. The results showed that the dissolution rate was close to 100%.
Example 4
The only difference from example 1 is that V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) =2:7 is replaced by V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) =1:10. The dissolution rate of noble metals was tested. The results showed that the dissolution rate was close to 100%.
Example 5
The only difference from example 1 is that V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) =2:7 is replaced by V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) =10:1. The dissolution rate of noble metals was tested. The results showed that the dissolution rate was close to 100%.
Example 6
The only difference from example 1 is that V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) =2:7 is replaced by V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) =1:1. The dissolution rate of noble metals was tested. The results showed that the dissolution rate was close to 100%.
Example 7
This example demonstrates the dissolution effect of kg-scale electronic CPU material (1.137 kg) and ore (1.169 kg), and the dissolution process is the same as that of example 1. When the dissolution time was detected to be 12 hours, 18.3 mg and 26.1 mg of gold were dissolved from the CPU board and ore, respectively. After the dissolution time was prolonged to 48 hours, 32.5 mg and 65.9 mg of gold were captured, respectively. The comparison of the electronic CPU material and the ore before and after dissolution is shown in FIG. 4.
Comparative example 1
Uniformly mixing 1.137kg of electronic CPU material with aqua regia (the amount of the aqua regia can be enough to submerge the electronic CPU material), and standing for 4 hours for reaction. The appearance of the dissolved electronic CPU material was observed.
1.137Kg of an electronic CPU material, 50g of titanium dioxide light were added to a mixed solution of acetonitrile and methylene chloride (V Acetonitrile :V Dichloromethane (dichloromethane) = 2:7, the mixed solution of acetonitrile and methylene chloride was able to submerge the electronic CPU material), and irradiated with ultraviolet light for 4 hours. The appearance of the dissolved electronic CPU material was observed. The results are shown in FIG. 5. Compared with the aqua regia method with higher efficiency in the prior art, the aqua regia is reacted vigorously to generate toxic gases such as nitric oxide and chlorine and crack a CPU board, and the dissolved CPU material is cleaner and more thorough, safer and more environment-friendly and has extremely high competitiveness.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
