The invention discloses a method for recovering high-purity
zinc from secondary
zinc oxide-containing electric furnace ash, which comprises the following steps: firstly, treating by
sodium carbonate to form a precipitate containing
zinc and other
metal elements so as to separate
chlorine and
fluorine ions in the electric furnace ash, and fixing soluble zinc salt in the electric furnace ash to reduce the loss of zinc. Subsequently, zinc and other
metal elements form soluble ions through
sulfuric acid treatment; adding
hydrogen peroxide to remove iron, and adding
potassium permanganate to remove
manganese, so as to obtain a primary leaching solution; the primary
leachate is treated by
ethylenediamine, tea
saponin and
urea, and reacts with zinc ions to form a stable complex, so that the zinc ions are prevented from being continuously precipitated by
ammonia water, and
hydroxide precipitates of other ions are separated. Subsequently, a dilute
sulfuric acid solution is used for decomposing the complex, zinc is precipitated through
sodium carbonate, and
recovery of the zinc element is completed. By adopting the method disclosed by the invention, the zinc in the secondary zinc
oxide-containing electric furnace ash
recovery product has a relatively high
leaching rate, and the purity of the zinc-containing product zinc
carbonate in the obtained product is relatively high.
