There are provided processes for treating red mud. For example, the processes can comprise leaching red mud with HCl so as to obtain a leachate comprising ions of a first metal (for example aluminum) and a solid, and separating said solid from said leachate. Several other metals can be extracted from the leachate (Fe, Ni, Co, Mg, rare earth elements, rare metals, etc.). Various other components can be extracted from solid such as TiO 2 , SiO 2 etc.

A method for treating a waste material (20) containing sulfuric acid and metal ions, as In the case of the waste material the production of the T1O2, provides mixing to the waste material (20) an alkaline reagent (10), selected among a hydroxide of an alkaline metal such as Mg, Zn, Sn, adapted to selectively precipitate (300) the cations as hydroxides, thus obtaining a first mixture (21) having a higher pH that contains a solution (22) of a sulfate and/or oxysulfate of the metal and solid hydroxides (23) of the metal cations that are separated from the first mixture (21) and can be used in metal sulfates production process. The method also comprises mixing the solution (22) with a precipitation agent (31), thus forming a second mixture (32) in which the sulfate and/or oxysulfate precipitates and is removed (301), heated, reduced and decomposed (400) by means of a reducing agent (41) selected among elemental sulfur, hydrogen and a reducing flame, thus obtaining SO 2 (42) available for making H 2 SO 4 , and a solid oxide (43) of the metal of the alkaline reagent that is recycled (101) as alkaline reagent (10) in the step (200) of mixing with the waste material (20). Advantageously, a step (350) is provided of recovering precipitation agent (31) from the water of second mixture (32), after removing (301) the sulfate and/or oxysulfate, and a step (351) is also provided of recycling the regenerated precipitation agent (31), In particular, an alcohol as ethyl alcohol, used as the precipitation agent (31), can be easily regenerated by distillation, exploiting low temperature-heat, which is largely available from a possible sulfuric acid production plant close to the plant that producing the sulfuric waste material (20). The method according to the invention makes it possible to eliminate the sludge resulting from the sulfuric waste material treatment, while recovering valuable compounds.

A new process of preparing potassium sulfate fertilizer and other metal sulfates from the chlorides and other halides of these metals. The process utilizes the discovery that sulfur dioxide or trioxide, when introduced as fluidizing medium into shallow beds (10) of the halide salts (11) at moderately elevated temperatures (1000 degrees F - 1150 degrees F) in a counter current process results in the conversion of the metal halides into metal sulfates and the halide gas.
摘要:
A process for generating a metal sulfate that involves crystallizing a metal sulfate from an aqueous solution to form a crystallized metal sulfate in a mother liquor with uncrystallized metal sulfate remaining in the mother liquor; separating the crystallized metal sulfate from the mother liquor; basifying a portion of the mother liquor to convert the uncrystallized metal sulfate to a basic metal salt; and using the basic metal salt upstream of crystallizing the metal sulfate. So crystallized, the generated metal sulfate may be battery-grade or electroplating-grade.

There are provided processes for preparing alumina. These processes can comprise leaching an aluminum-containing material with HCl so as to obtain a leachate comprising aluminum ions and a solid, and separating said solid from said leachate; reacting said leachate with HCl so as to obtain a liquid and a precipitate comprising said aluminum ions in the form of AlCl 3 , and separating said precipitate from said liquid; and heating said precipitate under conditions effective for converting AlCl 3 into Al 2 O 3 and optionally recovering gaseous HCl so-produced. These processes can also be used for preparing various other products such as hematite, MgO, silica and oxides of various metals, sulphates and chlorides of various metals, as well as rare earth elements, rare metals and aluminum.
