The invention discloses a comprehensive
recovery method for
platinum and
palladium in silver
anode slime. The method comprises the steps that the silver
anode slime generated through silver
electrolysis is subjected to
nitric acid leaching in a reaction still for silver separating; the leaching conditions comprise that the
mass concentration of a
nitric acid solution is 30-40%, the liquid-
solid ratio is 3-8:1, the temperature is 40-80 DEG C, and the time is 2-6 h;
filtration is conducted after leaching, and silver separating solution and leaching residues are obtained;
hydrochloric acid or
sodium chloride is added into the silver separating solution for silver
sedimentation, the reaction endpoint is reached when no white
sediment exists, and
silver chloride sediments and a silver
sedimentation solution are obtained after
filtration; a
sedimentation agent is added into the silver sedimentation solution,
platinum and
palladium in the solution and a small amount of silver, lead,
bismuth and
copper are precipitated and recycled, and
platinum and
palladium concentrates and a platinum and palladium sedimentation solution are obtained after
filtration. The leaching residues are chloridized for gold separating, a gold separating solution and gold separating slags are obtained, the gold separating solution is subjected to
bismuth removal, a gold
stock solution and
bismuth sedimentation slags are obtained, and gold
powder, a gold sedimentation solution and valuable
metal such as associated silver, associated lead, associated bismuth and associated
copper are further obtained. According to the method, the platinum and palladium in the silver
anode slime can be recycled effectively through the sedimentation agent under the ambient temperature condition, and the platinum and palladium concentrates are obtained; meanwhile, the valuable
metal such as associated gold, associated silver, associated lead, associated bismuth and associated
copper are enriched and recycled, the comprehensive recycling of resources is achieved, the recycling level of the resources is improved, and the
economic benefits are remarkable.
