The invention relates to a method for recycling
bismuth in
bullion lead, and belongs to the field of the metallurgical technology combining a pyrogenic process with a wet process. The
bullion lead is placed in a
vacuum furnace first,
vacuum distillation is carried out to separate lead,
antimony,
bismuth and
copper, primary high
bismuth lead and silver are produced, the produced primary high
bismuth lead is placed in the
vacuum furnace,
vacuum distillation is conducted again to separate lead,
antimony, bismuth and
copper under control of the previous condition, and secondary high
bismuth lead and residual silver are produced; the obtained secondary high
bismuth lead and lead
bullion ingredients are thrown into an
anode pot to be cast into a bismuth
anode plate, the bismuth
anode plate is put into an electrolytic bath, mixed electrolytic refining is conducted on the bismuth anode plate together with the main process of lead
electrolysis, and dissolved-out lead and washed high bismuth anode slime are obtained; the obtained high bismuth anode slime is subjected to reduction
smelting and converting to produce crude bismuth; fire refining is carried out on the obtained crude bismuth, sulphur is added to the crude bismuth to remove
copper, the crude bismuth is oxidized to remove
arsenic and
antimony,
chlorine gas is led to the crude bismuth to remove lead,
zinc is added to the crude bismuth to remove silver, finally caustic soda and saltpeter are added for refining, and a bismuth
ingot product meeting national standards is produced. The technological process of the method is refined and simple.
