摘要: 以钒渣提钒过程中产生的富含铁锰的浸出液为原料,通过共沉淀法制备了二水草酸铁锰Mn0.5Fe0.5C2O4∙2H2O,以此为前驱体,通过高温固相法成功合成了磷酸锰铁锂LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4正极材料,实现了钒渣浸出液中铁锰资源的综合利用。结果表明,在初始pH值为3.5,温度25 ℃,反应时间90 min,草酸铵加料量为理论值的1.1倍,加料方式为正加的条件下,铁和锰的沉淀率分别为99.5%和99.4%,与其他杂质实现深度分离,Mn0.5Fe0.5C2O4·2H2O的纯度达99.97%,且粒径较小,分散性良好。可将其作为合成磷酸锰铁锂正极材料的前驱体,为磷酸锰铁锂的工业化生产提供了思路。Abstract: Using the iron-manganese-rich leaching solution generated during vanadium extraction from vanadium slag was used as the raw material, and ferromanganese oxalate dihydrate Mn0.5Fe0.5C2O4∙2H2O was prepared by co-precipitation, and lithium ferromanganese iron phosphate LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 anode material was successfully synthesized by the high-temperature solid-phase method using this precursor, which achieved the comprehensive utilization of the iron-manganese resources in the vanadium slag leaching solution. The results showed that under the conditions of initial pH 3.5, temperature 25 ℃, reaction time 90 min, ammonium oxalate addition 1.1 times of the theoretical value, and the addition mode of positive addition, the precipitation efficiency of Fe and Mn were 99.5% and 99.4%, respectively. The depth separation from other impurities was achieved, and the purity of Mn0.5Fe0.5C2O4·2H2O reached 99.97% with small particle sizes and good dispersion. It can be used as a precursor for synthesizing lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode materials, which provides the idea for the industrial production of lithium iron manganese phosphate.
