The invention relates to the technical field of
hydrometallurgy, and discloses an operation and end point judgment method for reducing gold in a high-
selenium chlorination
leachate based on ferrite, which comprises the following steps: S1, performing
chlorine removal on the high-
selenium chlorination
leachate; s2, after
chlorine removal is finished and the temperature of the high-
selenium chlorination
leachate is cooled, a ferrite solution is added to the surface of the leachate after
chlorine removal, and the reaction potential is monitored; s3, after the reaction endpoint potential drops to a first potential platform, the high-selenium chlorination leachate is rapidly cooled, and coarse gold
powder and reduced liquid are obtained through filtering; according to the method, the speed of adding the
reducing agent ferrous salt solution into the high-selenium chlorination leaching solution is controlled, the reaction endpoint is judged through potential, gold is reduced firstly, it is avoided that due to excessive
ferrous salt, part of selenium,
platinum and
palladium are reduced, the content of gold in the reduced solution is smaller than 5 mg / L, the
reduction rate of gold is larger than 99%, and the
reduction rate of selenium,
tellurium,
platinum and
palladium is smaller than 0.05%; and efficient selective separation of gold is realized.
