The invention relates to a method for recovering lead,
zinc and
cadmium from
ammonia-process
zinc smelting purification
slag, which comprises the following steps: carrying out first ball milling on the
ammonia-process
zinc smelting purification
slag, returning the obtained refined purification
slag to carry out purification treatment on
ammonia-process
zinc smelting leachate, and separating to obtain secondary purification slag; and the secondary purification residues are sequentially subjected to second ball milling and leaching treatment, obtained leaching liquid is subjected to
cadmium replacement treatment and separation to obtain replaced liquid, the replaced liquid is returned to the leaching treatment until the zinc content is larger than 100 g / L, then
evaporation concentration and cooling
crystallization are sequentially conducted, and separation is conducted to obtain a
crystal product containing
zinc sulfate heptahydrate. According to the method provided by the invention, the purification slag containing lead,
cadmium and zinc can be comprehensively recycled,
metal zinc in the purification slag is returned to an ammonia-process
zinc smelting system for secondary purification, the use amount of an auxiliary material zinc
powder can be reduced, part of zinc in the obtained purification liquid is recycled to a zinc main
system for producing zinc ingots, and the production cost is reduced. And meanwhile,
sponge lead,
sponge cadmium,
zinc sulfate heptahydrate and other products are obtained, and remarkable
economic benefits are achieved.
