This invention provides a method for
smelting lead-containing waste and
copper-containing waste synchronously in a
molten pool. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing the lead-containing waste, the
copper-containing waste, one or more fluxes and carbon-containing reducing agents and then
pelletizing, wherein the ratio of the lead-containing waste and
copper-containing waste is controlled to achieve the effect that the
mass ratio of (Cu+Fe):S is (1.75-4):1; (2) adding the mixture to the
smelting equipment (i.e. the
molten pool), wherein the
mass ratio of water-quenched
slag to the furnace burden (i.e. the mixture) is (0.7-5):1, and the
smelting temperature is 1050-1250 DEG C; (3) keeping the smelting temperature for 30-180 min for separating and clarifying
lead alloy, copper matte and smelting
slag. According to the invention, the method can be used for treating the lead-containing waste and the copper-containing waste synchronously; the process is efficient and simple; the direct
recovery rates of lead and copper can reach above 75% respectively; the
metal content of the generated
slag is low, and the slag can be used as a building
raw material; the extraction and separation of lead, copper and other elements in the wastes can be realized through one step; the lead is concentrated in the
lead alloy, and the copper is concentrated in the copper matte; the product additional value is high; the subsequent
processing is simple.
