4Be one of main raw material(s) of making soft magnetic ferrite, the trimanganese tetroxide that is used to prepare Mn-Zn ferrite requires very tight to foreign matter content.High-quality trimanganese tetroxide has vast market at home and abroad, and demand is also with the speed increase in every year about 15%.Trimanganese tetroxide is to begin to produce in 1997 in China, and development has formed and produced about 30,000 tons industrial scale per year rapidly at present, mainly satisfies the domestic market, and small part is used for foreign exchange earning.The trimanganese tetroxide production method mainly is that employing manganese powder oxidation style is the manganese powder catalytic oxidation at present both at home and abroad.Its technological process is: manganese powder after further being crushed to about 250 orders, is added deionized water by liquid-solid ratio about 6: 1, heat 30~80 ℃, add ammonium salt and make catalyzer, the blowing air oxidation can make trimanganese tetroxide.The factor that influences the product specific surface area mainly contains temperature of reaction, liquid-solid ratio, ammonium salt add-on and pH value in reaction etc.This technical maturity is simple, invest less, but cost height, specific surface area is less, is generally less than 10m
2.g
-1, foreign matter content is generally higher, the main source of impurity be bring into by starting material electrolytic metal manganese powder itself due to.The production of electrolytic metal manganese powder need be experienced complicated process procedure, be difficult to effectively avoid entering of some impurity in each link, thereby this method is difficult to fundamentally reduce the content of impurity in the trimanganese tetroxide.Production status at trimanganese tetroxide, various preparation methods have been studied both at home and abroad, be manganese salt directly prepares trimanganese tetroxide without electrolysis method wherein by the most promising method that everybody generally acknowledges, this method had been carried out broad research at home and abroad, the method that institute adopts all is to add alkali earlier with the mn ion hydrolytic precipitation, and then uses atmospheric oxidation.The problem that this method exists is that sulphur content residual in the product is very high; Next is that calcium, magnesium, silicon equal size are also seriously higher, carried out some researchs abroad at these problems, English Patent (GB1374975 wherein, 1974) in order to reduce that sulphur and calcium-magnesium content are taked once even enhancements such as double High Temperature High Pressure oxide treatment, but DeGrain, the sulphur content in the product are also up to 0.2-0.5% (SO
3), apparently higher than 0.075% (SO of domestic existing enterprise standard
3), calcium-magnesium content is also apparently higher than the prescribed value of existing standard.This also is to restrict the major cause that this method does not realize suitability for industrialized production always.
Summary of the invention
The present invention seeks in order directly the free mn ion in manganese sulfate solution or the manganese chloride solution to be oxidized to trimanganese tetroxide.Effectively avoid the generation of a large amount of alkali formula manganous sulfates, thereby reduce the sulphur content in the trimanganese tetroxide product significantly, reduce the content of calcium in the product, magnesium addition simultaneously significantly.
The present invention selects the scavenging solution of manganese ore pickling liquor for use, be that manganese sulfate solution or manganese chloride solution are raw material, make neutralizing agent with ammoniacal liquor, control the lift velocity of pH value of solution value in the whole oxidation reaction process, the lift velocity control of reaction process pH is according to pH and mn ion activity (α

Make oxygenant with air or oxygen, the oxidizing reaction temperature scope is 30~95 ℃.Can directly be oxidized to high-purity even ultra-pure trimanganese tetroxide to the divalent manganesetion in the solution.
Present method cost is low, and sulfate radical and calcium in the trimanganese tetroxide product, Mg content are low.
