A kind of barrier film non-transformer electrolytic process
The invention belongs to wet method and extract field of metallurgy, specifically a kind of barrier film non-transformer electrolytic process.
Be extensive use of in the known hydrometallurgical technology that power supply electrodeposition method, its principle are arranged is to utilize in the direct current decomposing solution metallic salt to obtain metal.As electro deposited copper from copper-bath, electrowinning zinc etc. from solution of zinc sulfate.The disadvantage one of these class methods is to consume a large amount of electric energy, the 2nd, and solution needs deep purifying.In order to address the above problem, once proposed multiple solution, the non-transformer electrolysis is exactly one of them, and this method has been used the most ancient galvanic principles, utilize the electrodeposition potential difference of two kinds of metals, use the active metal,, constitute galvanic cell as copper, gold and silver, mercury etc. as the metal with the activity difference such as iron, aluminium, zinc, the corrosion utmost point, corrosive fluid and the deposition utmost point, be extracted between the liquid and separate with a barrier film, make the activity difference metal since metathesis be deposited on deposition and extremely go up, thereby obtain extracting.Known Daniell cell is exactly an exemplary, and zincode in this battery (the corrosion utmost point) is corroded, and is extracted copper in the liquid and is deposited on deposition and extremely goes up.Obviously utilize this battery can from copper-containing solution, extract copper in principle, but nobody use the Daniell cell principle to carry copper from ancient times to the present.Tracing it to its cause one is that the zinc price is expensive, the 2nd, and current density does not reach industrial needs.Certainly above-mentioned zinc available iron is replaced, but the result who replaces is that extraction rate is very low, also can't be applied industrial, to such an extent as to the iron powder replacement method that still proposes the use ancients so far in the hydrometallurgy of copper, in the hydrometallurgy of zinc, use zinc replacement copper removal, cadmium or the like.Though these methods are simple, because the direct effect of metal powder, selectivity is relatively poor, and the gained metal-powder is impure.The copper sponge that obtains as the iron powder replacement method only is 70-90%, and the Spongy Cadmium that obtains in the zinc dust precipitation technology, copper ashes contain cadmium 40%, cupric about 30%, and be Powdered.Have the people once to use anion-exchange membrane, reverse osmosis membrane as the barrier film in the electrolytic process at these problems, though current density can reach preliminary service requirements, this class film mechanical property is relatively poor, can only do slabbing.Make the cell construction complexity, this class film manufacturing process is complicated in addition, the cost height, acid-proof alkaline is poor, for example mentions anti-seepage membrane and just belong to this class film with the biochemical reaction hard board of titanium dioxide and silicon-dioxide in the patent application prospectus of number of patent application 91109442.3.This class film only obtains some application at aspects such as sea water desaltination, sewage disposals at present, and concentrating of a large amount of salts also depends on evaporation concentration in metallurgical, the chemical industry, ion-exchange membrane, the reverse osmosis membrane of seeking some superior performances are the targets that metallurgical boundary endeavours to study always, because the progress of membrane technique will promote the technical progress of hydrometallurgy.
It is low to the objective of the invention is to seek a kind of resistance, and loading capacity is big, can reach enough current densities, and corrosion-resistant, the diaphragm material that price is low makes non-transformer electrolytic process technical applicationization.
Technical scheme of the present invention is:
Barrier film non-transformer electrolytic process, form by liquid to be extracted, the deposition utmost point, corrosive fluid, the corrosion utmost point and the barrier film that is added between them, process is carried out in electrolyzer, connect the deposition utmost point and the corrosion utmost point, electrolysis is carried out automatically, said barrier film is the high-density cloth that tynex is made, and the two corrosion of corrosion utmost point employing electrode structures promptly deposit each surface of the utmost point and two corrosion pole-faces formation galvanic cells.Polymeric amide high-density cloth is done complete, be enclosed within on the framework that corrosion resistant material makes, make diaphram tank.Extract electrolytic copper when being used for copper-containing solution, barrier film is the polyamide 66 cloth, or polyamide 6, liquid composition to be extracted is Cu>1g/l, and other metal is not limit, and deposits very copper coin, stainless steel plate or titanium plate, corrosive fluid is the acidic aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, and very iron plate is corroded in PH<5.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment shown in the drawings content of the present invention is described further, but the content of invention is not limited to shown in the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 2 is the vertical view of electrolyzer.
1 is electrolyzer, and 2 are the deposition utmost point, and 3 is barrier film, and 4 is etched plate, and 5 is the barrier film framework, and 6 is corrosive fluid, and 7 is liquid to be extracted, and 8 is lead.
The high density cloth made from Fypro is as the barrier film in the galvanic cell. Process is in electrolysis Carry out in the groove, the solution and the corrosive liquid that add metal to be extracted in electrolytic cell (can be and make corruption The salting liquid of the metal of the erosion utmost point), separate with barrier film between two kinds of solution, at molten metal to be extracted In insert the deposition utmost point (the plate system of available graphite cake, corrosion resistant plate, titanium plate and metal to be extracted Become, in corrosive liquid, insert the corrosion utmost point (the real plate in the active metals such as available iron, zinc, aluminium is made). To corrode the utmost point and deposit the utmost point and connect with lead, electrolysis is carried out automatically. Metal ion to be extracted is continuous The deposition extremely the deposition, when depositing to certain thickness with it from extremely taking off, obtain gold to be extracted Belong to plate. In order to make current density as far as possible big, the present invention proposes two corrosion electrode structures, namely every The one deposition utmost point and two corrosion pole-faces consist of a galvanic cell.
The mechanism of action of density film in electrolytic process made from Fypro is: wait to carry The acid meeting of getting in the liquid is diffused in the corrosive liquid automatically on a small quantity, makes corrosive liquid keep necessary acidity, Prevent from corroding utmost point passivation, and the metal ion that produces of corrosion can penetrate film and enters liquid to be extracted, Because process is in a kind of DIFFUSION CONTROLLED, metal ion to be extracted is extremely located in deposition during electrolysis In poised state, overpotential is littler, and Trace elements is separated out less, and tank voltage is with metal to be extracted Concentration reduce, reduced greatly impurity element because concentration difference polarizes separates out. Significantly Improved the quality of product, and corrosive liquid need not circulation and purify, simplified technology, reduce Cost.
Construction and the installation of polyamide density film in electrolytic cell is among the present invention: with this barrier film Make diaphragm case, be enclosed within on the barrier film framework that anti-corrosion material makes and make diaphram tank, will corrode the utmost point Insert diaphram tank, in this diaphram tank, inject corrosive liquid again, at last diaphram tank is put into to be extracted In the liquid. Insert the deposition utmost point in liquid to be extracted, connect the corrosion utmost point and the deposition utmost point, electrolysis is advanced automatically OK.
