The invention belongs to the field of comprehensive
recovery and utilization of metallurgical waste slags, and discloses a method of recovering valuable
metal from
selenium-containing acid mud. The method comprises the following steps that A, low-temperature
roasting is carried out, the low-temperature
roasting is carried out on the
selenium-containing acid mud, a mercury removal rate of the roasted
selenium-containing acid mud is roasted to 99% or above, and high-mercury
smoke dust and high-selenium roasted sand
slag is obtained; B, first acid leaching is carried out on the roasted
slag; C, second acid leaching is carried out on the roasted
slag, the first acid leaching is conducted on second acid leaching solution, and the slag is recycled to a
lead system; D, selenium reduction is carried out, a
reducing agent is added into the first leaching solution obtained in the step C to carry out reduction on selenium to prepare crude selenium; E,
copper replacement is carried out,
iron powder is added into the reduced post-liquid obtained in the step D to carried out displacement and reduction on
copper, and high-grade
copper slag is obtained; and F, the post-liquid obtained in the stepE is reduced, evaporated, concentrated, cooled, crystallized to recycle
arsenic, and the
wastewater is sent to a
wastewater station for treatment. The method of recovering valuable
metal from the selenium-containing acid mud has the remarkable characteristics of simple
process operation, no environmental
pollution, high
recovery value, low operation cost and high economic benefit.
