The invention discloses an
arsenic removal method in a
nickel electrolysis mixed acid
system. According to the method, the iron-
arsenic ratio of anodic
electrolyte is reasonably controlled through
iron supplementation, and meanwhile, the temperature and pH value of an
iron removal process are controlled, so that 80% or more of
arsenic is separated out in an iron
arsenate or adsorption form in the
iron removal process; then, in the
cobalt removal stage, the
cobalt removal oxidation potential, reaction time and pre-
cobalt-removal liquor pH value are controlled, and remaining arsenic in
iron removal and arsenic removal filtered liquor is removed with cobaltous
hydroxide at the cobalt removal stage in a
coprecipitation manner. Besides, iron removal and arsenic removal filtered
slag generated by purification and cobalt removal and arsenic removal filtered
slag are subjected to
nickel removal treatment and then filtered, filtered liquor returns to liquor making for treatment, part of arsenic is brought to the liquor making process, and arsenic removal is induced by controlling solution
copper ions and
electric current density in the liquor making process. By means of the method, the problem that arsenic contained in
nickel electrolysis exceeds standards is well solved, the arsenic contained in
electrolysis new liquor is smaller than 0.0002 g / l, the arsenic contained in electrolytic nickel is smaller than 0.0005%, and the arsenic removal rate in a solution of a whole
system reaches 98% or above.
