Abstract

Abstract Fluoride is an impurity in nickel sulfate production, which is required for electric vehicle batteries. Hydrous zirconium oxide (HZO) was evaluated for removing fluoride from nickel sulfate solution. Maximum fluoride removal occurred at pH value 4 and optimal pH value is 4–5, considering Zr solubility. Fluoride availability decreases with pH due to hydrogen fluoride and zirconium fluoride aqueous species. Fluoride removal is initially rapid, with 50 wt.% removal in 7 min, followed by slow removal up to 68 wt.% after 72 h and follows second order rate kinetics. Fluoride removal was dominated by an ion exchange mechanism and resulting Zr–F bonds were observed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The presence of nickel sulfate decreased loading capacity compared to a salt-free solution. HZO maintained adsorption capacity through five cycles of loading and regeneration.

用含水氧化锆分离硫酸镍溶液氟化

摘要氟化物是生产电动汽车电池所需的硫酸镍中的一种杂质。对含水氧化锆(HZO)去除硫酸镍溶液中的氟化物进行了评价。pH值为4时除氟效果最好，考虑到Zr溶解度，最佳pH值为4 ~ 5。由于氟化氢和氟化锆的存在，氟化物的可用性随着pH值的增加而降低。氟的去除最初是快速的，在7分钟内去除50 wt.%，然后在72小时后缓慢去除68 wt.%，并遵循二级速率动力学。氟的去除主要是离子交换机制，并通过傅里叶变换红外光谱观察到产生的Zr-F键。与无盐溶液相比，硫酸镍的存在降低了负载能力。HZO通过5次加载和再生循环保持了吸附能力。
