Description
Procédé pour récupérer les métaux constitutifs du fer-blanc et de pièces étamées. , La présente invention a pour objet un procédé pour le traitement des coupures, rognures et autres déchets de fer-blanc et de pièces étamées, en vue de récupérer d'une part, l'étain et de l'autre le fer, le cuivre ou autre métal servant de support à la couche superficielle d'étain.
Le-procédé employé habituellement dans ce but consiste à dissoudre la couche d'étain par de la potasse caustique, mais ce procédé est lent, la dissolution de l'étain est souvent incomplète, et le prix élèvé du dissolvant s'oppose à l'exploitation économique du procédé.
Suivant la présente invention, on évite ces inconvénients en soumettant les déchets ou les pièces à traiter, à l'action d'un bain dégageant du chlore naissant: Lorsqu'il est chauffé à une- température modérée, ce bain dissout très rapidement l'étain sous forme de chlorure d'étain, tandis qu'il n'attaque pas, ou du moins très lentement, les métaux consti tutifs du fer-blanc ou des tôles servant d-e supports à la couche superficielle d'étain.
Pour produire le chlore naissant, on peut employer de l'acide chlorhydrique auquel on mélange un ou plusieurs sels oxydants, tels -lue les chromates et bichromates alcalins, les manganates et permanganates alcalins, les sels manganiques. Si le mélange est chauffé, l'attaque de l'étain est presque ins tantanée.
Après séparation du métal ou des métaux non dissous, ceux-ci, sont 'lavés, tandis que l'étain peut être précipité de sa solution par d u@\ zinc ou par l'électrolyse.
On va maintenant décrire, àtitred'èxemple, une mise en exécution du nouveau procédé. On verse dans une cuve d-e l'acide chlor hydrique concentré du commerce auquel on ajoute de 1 à 10 % en poids de cristaux de bichromate de soude ou de potasse,
et de préférence aussi de 1 à 3 % de bioxyde de manganèse qui, sans être indispensable, fa vorise et accélère la réaction.
L'ensemble est chauffé à une température de<B>700</B> à<B>900</B> C, par- exemple à l'aide d'un serpentin à vapeur, et on y plonge une botte de déchets de fer- blanc, tels que des coupures de boîtes de conserve. L'attaque de l'étain par le chlore naissant qui se dégage au sein de la solution est extrêmement rapide: au bout dé 30 à 40 secondes la dissolution de l'étain est Complète et les déchets peuvent être retirès du bain. Le fer, le cuivre ou autre métal qui les constitue présente alors une surface proprement décapée, et il peut être livré au commerce après lavage dans une solution de soude caustique.
Le bain producteur du chlore naissant peut ensuite servir au traitement de nouvelles quantités de fer-blanc, jusqu'à ce que la so lution de chlorure d'étain soit saturée, ce qui se produit après dissolution d'environ 400 gr d'étain par litre d'acide chlorhydrique.
Après saturation de la solution, l'étain peut être précipité de celle-ci par du zinc métallique avec formation de chlorure de zinc et d'étain métallique.
On peut aussi employer avantageusement l'électrolyse pour la précipitation de l'étain hors de sa solution. Dans ce cas, on emploie comme électrolyte la solution de chlorure d'étain, comme pôle positif du charbon de cornue et comme pôle négatif une pièce de cuivre, de fer ou d'un autre métal insoluble dans la solution. Avec un voltage de 6 à 7 volts, on obtient une précipitation d'étain spongieux qui, après lavage, est comprimé et peut être fondu. Cet étain est d'une grande pureté.
Le procédé décrit est simple et rapide et permet de récupérer, â peu de frais, les mé taux constituant les déchets de fer-blanc et de tôles étamées qui n'ont par eux-mêmes que très peu de valeur. Des modifications peuvent évidemment être apportées au mode d'éxécu- tion décrit ci-dessus, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.
Process for recovering the constituent metals of tinplate and tinned parts. , The present invention relates to a process for the treatment of cuts, trimmings and other waste of tinplate and tinned parts, in order to recover on the one hand, tin and on the other iron, copper or other metal supporting the surface layer of tin.
The process usually employed for this purpose consists in dissolving the tin layer with caustic potash, but this process is slow, the dissolution of the tin is often incomplete, and the high price of the solvent is opposed to the economical operation of the process.
According to the present invention, these drawbacks are avoided by subjecting the waste or the parts to be treated to the action of a bath releasing nascent chlorine: When it is heated to a moderate temperature, this bath very rapidly dissolves the chlorine. tin in the form of tin chloride, while it does not attack, or at least very slowly, the constituent metals of the tinplate or of the sheets serving as supports for the surface layer of tin.
To produce nascent chlorine, hydrochloric acid can be used with one or more oxidizing salts, such as alkali chromates and dichromates, alkali manganates and permanganates, and manganic salts. If the mixture is heated, the attack of the tin is almost instantaneous.
After separation of the undissolved metal or metals, these are washed, while the tin can be precipitated from its solution by zinc or by electrolysis.
We will now describe, by way of example, an implementation of the new method. Commercial concentrated hydrochloric acid is poured into a vat to which is added from 1 to 10% by weight of crystals of sodium or potash dichromate,
and preferably also from 1 to 3% of manganese dioxide which, without being essential, fa vorizes and accelerates the reaction.
The assembly is heated to a temperature of <B> 700 </B> to <B> 900 </B> C, for example using a steam coil, and a bundle of waste is immersed in it tinplate, such as clippings from cans. The attack of the tin by the nascent chlorine which is released within the solution is extremely rapid: after 30 to 40 seconds the dissolution of the tin is Complete and the waste can be removed from the bath. The iron, copper or other metal which constitutes them then has a cleanly pickled surface, and it can be delivered to the market after washing in a solution of caustic soda.
The bath producing the nascent chlorine can then be used to treat new quantities of tinplate, until the solution of tin chloride is saturated, which occurs after dissolving about 400 g of tin by liter of hydrochloric acid.
After saturation of the solution, the tin can be precipitated therefrom by metallic zinc with the formation of zinc chloride and metallic tin.
Electrolysis can also be advantageously used for precipitating tin from its solution. In this case, the solution of tin chloride is used as electrolyte, as the positive pole of the retort charcoal and as the negative pole a piece of copper, iron or another metal insoluble in the solution. With a voltage of 6 to 7 volts, a precipitation of spongy tin is obtained which, after washing, is compressed and can be melted. This tin is of great purity.
The process described is simple and rapid and makes it possible to recover, inexpensively, the metals constituting the tinplate and tinplate waste, which in themselves have very little value. Modifications can obviously be made to the embodiment described above, without departing from the scope of the invention.
