Definitions
- the present invention provides an electrochemical process for the preparation of zinc metal.
- Zinc powder is widely used in the chemical industry in various industries. Zinc oxide containing other zinc salts, metal impurities, etc. is produced as a byproduct. Recycling of the zinc oxide to produce pure zinc powder is highly desirable from a cost as well as an environmental point of view.
- the electrodeposition of zinc metal is a well-known reaction in electrochemical technology (See, for example, D. Pletcher and F. C. Walsh, Industrial Electrochemistry, Blackie Academic, 1993).
- the electrogalvanizing of steel is a process carried out on a very large scale and aqueous acid is the normal medium.
- High speed, reel to reel galvanizing of steel is carried out in sulfuric acid with dimensionally stable anodes and uniform deposition is achieved at high current density by inducing very efficient mass transport by rapid movement of the steel surface.
- the deposition of zinc metal is also the critical electrode reaction in the electrowinning and electrorefining of zinc.
- Zinc metal can be produced by electrolysis either in strong alkaline or neutral zinc containing solutions.
- the first patents obtained on the alkaline electrolysis process date back to the early thirties (German Patents, 581013, 506590, 653557). In these methods, a low current density of 1200-1500 amperes/sq. meter (A/m 2 ) was used. Volume efficiency and current density of these batch type processes are too low to be industrially attractive.
- I. Orszagh and B. Vass Hung. J. Ind. Chem., 13, (1985) 287) used these methods to recycle zinc oxide byproduct from zinc dithionite production.
- the present invention provides a low corrosion electrochemical process for preparing zinc metal wherein air or nitrogen is bubbled in during the electrochemical reduction process producing the zinc metal. It has been unexpectedly found that bubbling of air or nitrogen reduces electrode corrosion during the electrochemical process.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,958,210 discloses a method for electrowinning metallic zinc from zinc ion in aqueous solution, said method comprising performing electrolysis on a mixture of solid conductive particles and aqueous alkali solution, said solution ranging in concentration from about 3N to about 20N alkali and containing dissolved zinc ion at an initial concentration ranging from about 50 to about 500 grams of zinc ion per liter of said solution, in an electrolytic cell containing first and second vertically arranged, parallel flat plates defined as a current feeder and a counter electrode, respectively, said counter electrode coated with a substance that is catalytic for oxygen evolution, said cell further containing an ion-permeable diaphragm parallel to each of said plates and interposed therebetween to define a gap between said current feeder and said diaphragm, by passing said mixture of particles and solution through said gap such that said particles contact said current feeder and passing a current across said gap, thereby depositing metallic zinc from said solution onto said particles.
- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/776,518 discloses an electrochemical process for preparing zinc powder which involves: a) providing to an electrochemical cell a basic solution of zinc oxide or any other zinc compound that reacts with an aqueous base to produce zinc oxide, the basic solution prepared by dissolving the zinc oxide or the other zinc compound in an aqueous 2.5 to 10.0 M base solution; and b) passing current to the cell at a current density of about 10,000 to about 40,000 A/m 2 for a time period sufficient to electrochemically reduce the zinc oxide to zinc powder, wherein the electrochemical process has a current efficiency of at least 70% and is substantially free from electrode corrosion.
- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/776,644 discloses a continuous electrochemical process for preparing zinc powder which involves: providing to an electrochemical cell a solution or suspension in an aqueous 1.25 Molar to 10.0 Molar base solution of zinc oxide or any other zinc compound that reacts with an aqueous base to produce zinc oxide, the solution or suspension containing at least 2 millimoles of solubilized zinc based species per 100 grams of electrolyte; and b) passing current to the cell at a current density of about 500 to 40,000 A/m 2 , for a time period sufficient to electrochemically reduce the solubilized zinc based species to zinc powder, while continuously or intermittently adding a sufficient amount of the zinc oxide or the other zinc compound to the cell to maintain the concentration of the solubilized zinc based species at a level of at least 2 millimoles per 100 grams of electrolyte and continuously or intermittently removing at least a portion of the zinc powder formed; wherein the electroly
- the present invention provides a low corrosion electrochemical process for preparing zinc metal which comprises electrochemically reducing an aqueous basic solution or slurry of zinc oxide or any other zinc compound that reacts with an aqueous base to produce zinc oxide, wherein the electrochemical process is carried out in an undivided electrochemical cell, and wherein air or nitrogen is bubbled in through the solution or slurry of zinc oxide or said other zinc compound during said electrochemical process.
- the present invention provides a low corrosion electrochemical process for preparing zinc metal which comprises electrochemically reducing an aqueous basic solution or slurry of zinc oxide or any other zinc compound (such as zinc sulfate) that reacts with an aqueous base to produce zinc oxide, wherein the electrochemical process is carried out in an undivided electrochemical cell, and wherein air or nitrogen is bubbled in through the solution or slurry of zinc oxide or said other zinc compound during said electrochemical process.
- any other zinc compound such as zinc sulfate
- the anode may be made from any conventional suitable material such as platinum, or iridium, either of which may be coated over an inert support such as niobium or titanium.
- the anode may also be made of nickel, or from conventional materials having good alkali corrosion resistance, e.g., lead or stainless steel.
- the cathode may be made from any conventional suitable materials having good alkali corrosion resistance, such as magnesium, magnesium alloy, copper, lead and stainless steel.
- the anode in the present invention is formed of stainless steel or nickel and the cathode is formed of stainless steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy or copper.
- the cathode and the anode are stainless steel and copper respectively, and in one embodiment nickel and copper respectively.
- the aqueous base solutions employed in the process of the invention are prepared by combining water with a source of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal ions, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, and a source of hydroxyl (OH ⁇ ions).
- a source of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal ions such as lithium, sodium, and potassium
- a source of hydroxyl (OH ⁇ ions) such as lithium, sodium, and potassium
- OH ⁇ ions hydroxyl
- the various alkali or alkaline earth metal ions are preferably supplied from various compounds such as hydroxides and oxides.
- Preferred base solutions are sodium and potassium hydroxide solutions.
- temperatures higher than ambient are generally desired because of the beneficial effects on the kinetics of all steps in an electrode process.
- the diffusion coefficient, the exchange current density and the rates of chemical reactions generally are increased.
- the decrease in viscosity and increase in diffusion coefficient leads to the increased mass transport rates.
- This increased mass transport of zinc ions from the bulk of the solution to the cathodic region is highly desirable.
- increase in the rate of chemical reaction such as the oxidation of zinc produced with oxygen and mass transport of the byproduct oxygen to the bulk of the solution may not be desirable.
- higher than ambient temperatures are found to be favorable for the electrolytic reduction of zinc oxide to zinc, and are preferred.
- the presently claimed electrochemical reduction process is conducted at a temperature of from 110° C. to 105° C., preferably from 40° to 80° C., and more preferably from 60° to 75° C.
- the electrochemical process of the present invention is a continuous process.
- continuous in the present context is well understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.
- it relates a process wherein zinc oxide or the other zinc compound can be added continuously to the electrochemical cell and at least a portion of the zinc metal formed is removed continuously or intermittently during the electrochemical process.
- a continuous electrochemical process has been disclosed in U.S. application Ser. No. 09/776,664 (filed Feb. 2, 2001).
- a resin Kettle (5 inch in diameter and 18 inch high) is used as the cell.
- a solution or slurry of zinc oxide in the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3 to 3.5 liters) at 20 to 80° C. is charged into the resin kettle.
- a thermometer, desired cathodes and anodes are positioned in the cell using laboratory clamps. Mixing is achieved by bubbling air or nitrogen through the solution or slurry of ZnO.
- mechanical stirring in addition to bubbling of air or nitrogen is used.
- Control experiments use only mechanical stirring for mixing (no air or nitrogen bubbling).
- Teflon tape Parts of the cathode and anode surfaces are covered with Teflon tape to achieve the desired active cathode and anode surface areas.
- Electrolysis is carried out at a current density of about 5000 Amps/m 2 . A portion of the zinc deposited on the cathode is removed periodically. At the end of the experiment, zinc particles are separated from the electrolyte by decantation, washed with water and then dried. Dried zinc particles were analyzed to determine the zinc content.
