MnO–SiO2二元系作为废旧锂离子电池、海洋锰结核还原熔炼过程中的基础渣型,测定有价金属(如镍)在渣中的溶解度、活度及活度系数热力学数据十分必要。为此,本文测定了温度1623 K、氧分压10−7,10−6,和10−5 Pa时SiO2饱和的MnO–SiO2渣和Al2O3饱和的MnO–SiO2–Al2O3渣中NiO的溶解度和活度系数。结果表明:在试验条件下,镍在MnO–SiO2渣和MnO–SiO2–Al2O3渣中主要以NiO形式存在,且渣中NiO的溶解度随着氧分压增加而增加;向MnO–SiO2渣中加入Al2O3可以降低渣中镍的溶解度,增加NiO的活度系数。此外,SiO2饱和的MnO–SiO2渣和Al2O3饱和的MnO–SiO2–Al2O3渣中NiO的活度系数(γNiO,以纯固体NiO为参考态)可分别按如下公式计算:γNiO = 8.58w(NiO) + 3.18; γNiO=11.06w(NiO) + 4.07, 其中,w(NiO)为渣中NiO的质量分数。
As a part of the fundamental study related to the reduction smelting of spent lithium-ion batteries and ocean polymetallic nodules based on MnO–SiO2 slags, this work investigated the activity coefficient of NiO in SiO2-saturated MnO–SiO2 slag and Al2O3-saturated MnO–SiO2–Al2O3 slag at 1623 K with controlled oxygen partial pressure levels of 10−7, 10−6, and 10−5 Pa. Results showed that the solubility of nickel oxide in the slags increased with increasing oxygen partial pressure. The nickel in the MnO–SiO2 slag and MnO–SiO2–Al2O3 slag existed as NiO under experimental conditions. The addition of Al2O3 in the MnO–SiO2 slag decreased the dissolution of nickel in the slag and increased the activity coefficient of NiO. Furthermore, the activity coefficient of NiO (γNiO), which is solid NiO, in the SiO2 saturated MnO–SiO2 slag and Al2O3 saturated MnO–SiO2–Al2O3 slag at 1623 K can be respectively calculated as γNiO = 8.58w(NiO) + 3.18 and γNiO = 11.06w(NiO) + 4.07, respectively, where w(NiO) is the NiO mass fraction in the slag.
