This invention has an object to provide a method for producing a beryllium solution, the method being novel and having high energy efficiency. The method (M10) for producing a beryllium solution includes a main heating step (S13) of dielectrically heating an acidic solution containing a starting material so as to generate a beryllium solution, the starting material being beryllium or a substance containing beryllium.

A method for extracting secondary metal values from a sulfuric acid leachate is provided. The method includes providing a leachate which contains a primary metal and a plurality of secondary metals, wherein the primary metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Li and Ni and is derived from sulfuric acid leaching of an ore; passing the leachate through a first ion exchange resin which is selective to, and releasably binds, the plurality of secondary metals; stripping the plurality of secondary metals from the second or third ion exchange resins, thereby obtaining a first extract; and recovering the secondary metals from the first extract. In some embodiments, prior to passing the leachate through the first ion exchange resin, the leachate is passed through a second ion exchange resin which is selective to, and releasably binds, one of the plurality of secondary metals. The one of the secondary metals is then stripped from the second exchange resin, thereby obtaining a second extract, and the one of the secondary metals is recovered from the second extract.

摘要:
A method for the complete dissolution of "hard to dissolve" mineral samples, such as lunar and geological samples, wherein milligram amounts of a sample in particulate form is successively mixed while heating with small amounts of hydrofluoric acid and a mixture of sulfuric acid and distilled, demineralized water. Heating of the resulting solution is continued until its volume is reduced to about 2 milliliters after which the solution is rapidly cooled to room temperature. After adding a small amount of distilled, demineralized water, it is heated while swirling to provide a crystal clear solution. When dissolving lunar or other samples containing beryllium and chromium, an amount of a solution of sodium hydroxide is added to the crystal clear solution that is sufficient to bring the pH of the solution to about 2.5. The method makes it possible to completely dissolve mineral samples rapidly and efficiently for subsequent accurate chemical analysis.

An austenitic stainless steel having excellent galling resistance by reason of a silicon-containing surface oxide film and a high work hardening rate, good wear resistance, good corrosion resistance in chloride-containing environmets, and excellent oxidation resistance, containing 10% to 25% chromium, 3% to 15% nickel, 6% to 16% manganese, 2% to 7% silicon, 0.001% to 0.25% carbon, 0.001% to 0.4% nitrogen, and balance iron except for incidental impurities. Up to 4% molybdenum, up to 4% copper, 0.09% maximum phosphorus, up to 0.25% maximum sulfur and up to 0.50% maximum selenium may be present. The steel is readily workable on ordinary equipment into plate, sheet, strip, bar, rod and like wrought products.

A CARBOTHERMIC REDUCTION METHOD WHEREIN OXIDES OF CHEMICALLY REACTION METALS SUCH AS TITANIUM, URANIUM, ALUMINUM AND BORON ARE REACTED WITH CARBON IN A MOLTEN METAL SOLVENT WITH THE RESULTANT PRODUCTION OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS AND OF FREE METAL WHICH IS PRESENT IN SOLUTON IS SAID SOLVENT. IN ONE EMBODIMENT, SAID CARBOTHERMIC REDUCTION TAKES PLACE UNDER AN ATMOSPHERE OF NITROGEN GAS WHEREBY THE METAL OXIDE IS CONVERTED TO A SOLID METAAL NITRIDE WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOLTEN METAL SOLVENT MAY THEREAFTER BE CONVERTED TO A SOLUTION OF THE PURE METAL IN SAID SOLVENT AS NITROGEN PRESSURES OVER THE SYSTEM ARE REDUCED. THE PURE METAL GOING INTO SOLUTION AS DERIVED FROM EITHER THE OXIDE OR THE NITRIDE CAN BE RECOVERED FROM THE SOLUTION BY VARIOUS PHASE SEPARATION METHODS, INCLUDING THOSE WHEREIN THE METAL TO BE RECOVERED OR THE SOLVENT METAL IS DISTILLED OFF OR A LIQUID-LIQUID PHASE SEPARATION METHOD IS PRACTICED. FURTHERMORE. A PHASE SEPARATION MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY LOWERING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE REACTIVE METAL PRECIPITATES BUT WHILE THE SOLVENT IS STILL IN LIQUID FORM.

Beryllium metal is produced from impure beryllium or in situ reduced beryllium containing materials by solid phase separation from a molten mixture of beryllium-rich aluminum and/or silicon.
摘要:
There is provided an improved process for beneficiating beryllium metal and more particularly a process for purifying beryllium particles, particularly cast or virgin beryllium particles, by leaching with aqueous acid at relatively low temperatures for up to 6 or 8 hours, and characterized by the step of submitting the beryllium, either before or after conversion to particulate metal, to a thermal aging treatment at elevated temperatures for a prolonged period of time.

THE EXTRACTION AND THE RECOVERY OF BERYLIUM SUBSTANTIALLY DEVOID OF ZINC AND OTHER IMPURITES FROM LOW AND MEDIUM GRADE ACID-LEACHABLE BERYLLIUM BEARING ORES IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ACID-LEACHING AT A PH IN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 1.2 TO ABOUT 2, PREFERABLY BETWEEN 1.3 AND 1.5, AND ADVANTAGEOUSLY WITH THE AID OF A SOLUBLE FLUORIDE ADDITIVE FOLLOWED BY RAISING THE PH OF THE LEACH LIQUOR INITIALLY TO ABOVE 3.0 BUT BELOW ABOUT 4.5 AND FINALLY TO ABOVE 7.5 BUT BELOW 9.0 TO PRECIPITATE BERYLLIUM HYDROXIDE THEREFROM. IN THE INITIAL PH RAISING STEP, ALUMINUM IS PRECIPITATED FROM THE LEACH SOLUTION. AFTER FILTRATION TO REMOVE THE PRECIPITATE, A CHELATING AGENT SUCH AS EDTA MAY BE ADDED TO THE FILTRATE PRIOR TO THE SECOND PH RAISING STEP FOR THE PRECIPITATION OF BERYLLIUM VALUES THEREFROM. THE PRECIPITATED BERYLLIUM HYDROXIDE IS FURTHER PURIFIED BY REDISSOLUTION HYDROLYSIS IN SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION. ALTERNATIVELY, IT MAY BE TREATED WITH STRONG AND HOT CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID PRIOR TO THE PRECIPITATION OF BERYLLIUM VALUES AS A HYDROXIDE. THE ZINC IS REMOVED FROM THE FINAL BERYLLIUM PRODUCT BY TREATING THE LEACH LIQUOR WITH A SOLUBLE SULFIDE AFTER THE INITIAL PH RAISING STEP OR BEFORE THE HYDROLYSIS OF THE REDISSOLVED BERYLLIUM HYDROXIDE.
