The invention relates to a method for recovering valuable
metal from
smoke containing
arsenic and conducting
arsenic harmless treatment. The method comprises the following steps that normal-pressure water leaching is conducted;
catalytic oxidation of a leaching solution is conducted;
arsenic solidification of the oxidized solution is conducted; a leaching residue is washed; and the valuable
metal in the washed residue is recovered. By the adoption of the method, soluble arsenic in the
smoke is removed through normal-pressure water leaching, trivalent arsenic in the leaching solution is converted into pentavalent arsenic through
catalytic oxidation, arsenic in the oxidized solution is converted into stable
solid arsenic minerals through synthesis, then the
solid arsenic minerals are solidified in a stockpiling or
cement solidification mode, the leaching residue is processed through the working procedures of washing, reduction
smelting and oxidation blowing, and therefore various valuable elements are recycled to the maximum extent. According to the method, arsenic is removed from the
smoke, stibium, lead,
bismuth and the like can be left in the residue without arsenic as far as possible, and therefore separation between arsenic and the valuable
metal and harmless treatment are achieved. By means of the method, the resource comprehensive utilization ratio is high, the application range of raw materials is broad, the problems that
pollution is caused in the conventional technological extraction process, and especially smoke is generated in the lead and
zinc smelting process are solved, and the advantages of the method are more obvious.
