摘要:
A process is disclosed for recovering tungsten from tungsten bearing material containing arsenic. The process involves adjusting a water slurry of the material to a pH of less than about 4 with an acid to solubilize the major portion of the tungsten, adding an insoluble ferric compound to the slurry to form a two phase system in which the solid phase contains the major portion of the arsenic and of any phosphorus which may be present, and a solution phase containing the major portion of the tungsten. After separation of the solid from the solution, the solution is adjusted to a pH of less than about 2 with an acid and a suffficient amount of hexamethylenetetramine is added to the solution to precipitate the major portion of the tungsten, followed by separating the precipitate from the resulting liquor. The solid phase containing the arsenic and phosphorus, if any, can be contacted with water and a soluble ferric salt to produce a treated solid which passes the EP toxicity test.

A process is disclosed wherein tungsten is recovered from hazardous waste material containing said tungsten, arsenic, and other impurities which can consist of magnesium, phosphorus, and silicon and the resulting waste is treated to render it nonhazardous according to EPA standards for arsenic. Said process involves digesting said hazardous waste material in an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide, adjusting the pH of the resulting solution to about 11.0 to about 13.0 with NaOH to precipitate essentially all of the magnesium and silicon species, filtering the digestion mix to remove the solids from said resulting solution which contains about 80 to about 100% of said tungsten and essentially none of said magnesium and said silicon, slurrying the hazardous solids in hot water, and adding to the slurry a ferric salt solution to precipitate ferric hydroxide, filtering this mixture to give a solid which passes the EPA standard test for solids with respect to arsenic.

A method is disclosed for recovering tungsten from a relatively dilute ammoniacal tungsten solution. The method involves adding hexamethylenetetramine to the tungsten solution in an amount sufficient to form a hexamethylenetetramine complex then adjusting the pH to from about 1.0 to about 2.0 with a mineral acid to form a precipitate of the complex containing at least about 99% of the tungsten, and separating the precipitate from the resulting mother liquor.

A process is disclosed for producing ammonium paratungstate which involves adding hexamethylenetetramine to a first solution of ammonium tungstate, adjusting the pH to about 2 with an acid to form a precipitate which contains the major portion of the tungsten and the hexamethylenetetramine and separating the precipitate from the resulting mother liquor. The tungsten hexamethylenetetramine precipitate is then dissolved in aqueous ammonia to form a second ammonium tungstate solution which is then heated at from about 90.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. to form a precipitate essentially all of which is ammonium paratungstate and a mother liquor which contains essentially all of the hexamethylenetetramine. The ammonium paratungstate precipitate is then separated from the mother liquor.

A process is disclosed for recovering cobalt and chromium from a cobalt and chromium containing alloy. The process involves first digesting the alloy in concentrated hydrochloric acid at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a first solution containing the major portion of the cobalt, chromium, and any iron and nickel present in the alloy and a first solid and separating the first solution from the first solid. Oxalic acid is then added to the first solution in an amount sufficient to subsequently precipitate the major portion of the cobalt and any iron and nickel contained in the first solution followed by adjustment of the ph to from about 1 to about 2 with a base and maintaining the temperature below about 20.degree. for a sufficient time to form a second solid containing the major portion of the cobalt and the major portion of any iron and nickel which is present in the first solution and a second solution containing the major portion of the chromium which is present in the first solution and separation of the second solid from the second solution. The second solid is then washed with sufficient water to remove any water soluble impurities and separated from the resulting wash water. The resulting washed second solid is then contacted with a calcium chloride solution of sufficient calcium chloride concentration, at a sufficient temperature, for a sufficient time to form a third solution containing the major portion of the cobalt which was present in the second solid, and a third solid. The third solution is then separated from the third solid.

A process is disclosed for producing pure cobalt metal powder. The process involves contacting a cobaltous salt with a sufficient amount of an alkaline earth halide in an aqueous solution at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a solution which is essentially cobaltous halide and a solid which consists essentially of a salt of the alkaline earth and the anion of the cobaltous salt. The cobaltous halide solution is removed from the solid and the ions in the solution are complexed with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst to form a cobaltic hexammine ion. The resulting solution is treated with an acid in the presence of halide ions to form a cobaltic hexammine halide precipitate which is removed from the resulting mother liquor and dissolved in an aqueous solution to form a relatively pure solution which is treated with a sufficient amount of a metallic hydroxide to form a cobalt containing precipitate which is reduced to cobalt metal.

A process is disclosed for recovering cobalt from an alloy containing other metals as chromium, tungsten, etc. The process involves first adding the alloy to fused sodium hydroxide at a temperature of from about 750.degree. C. to about 1000.degree. C. to form a reaction mixture, the amount of sodium hydroxide being sufficient to subsequently form sodium salts which are essentially those of chromium and tungsten and hydroxides which are essentially those of cobalt and nickel. The reaction mixture is then heated at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time while introducing an oxidizing gas into the reaction mixture to form a melt which consists essentially of the sodium salts and the hydroxides, followed by cooling the melt. The cooled melt is then contacted with sufficient water to form a solution containing the major portion of the sodium salts and a solid containing the major portion of the hydroxides, followed by separating the solid from the solution. The solid is then washed with sufficient water to remove the remaining portion of the sodium salts and other water soluble impurities and then separated from the resulting wash water.
