Problems solved by technology

[0007] In the currently known dry refining process of lead, as a method of removing tin from molten lead by utilizing its affinity with alkaline oxides, it is known to use sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate at 500°C or below temperature, to contain sodium stannate (Na 2 SnO 3 ) The method of separating tin from lead in the form of Harris (Haris) slag (hereinafter referred to as the Harris method), has not yet been disclosed about the technology for efficiently removing tin in molten copper

Embodiment -1

[0029] Copper obtained by incinerating copper containing at least one precious metal of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and tin, and flammable electronic component materials, power supply substrates, etc. 60kg of precious metal scrap raw materials, 140kg of electroplating waste residues such as electronic component materials, 20kg of precious metal-containing waste liquid treatment residues produced in the wet smelting process of precious metals, 26kg of calcium carbonate as a flux, 15kg of coke as a reducing agent for a smelting reduction furnace, The smelting reduction treatment was carried out at 1,300-1,400° C. for 3 hours, and then 146 kg of reduced metal and 68 kg of reduced slag were separated. The reduced metal was melted in the oxidation furnace at a temperature range of 1,200°C-1,250°C, and then air was blown in at a flow rate of 0.8 L / min / kg metal for 2 hours from the blowing port, and then the oxidized crude was collected from the oxidation fu...

Embodiment -2

[0034] In order to make the tin grade of the crude oxidized metal prepared in Example-1 2% by mass, the crude oxidized metal and tin metal as a reagent were put into a graphite crucible and melted at 1,200°C for 1 hour using an externally heated electric furnace. . Then, the graphite crucible was taken out from the externally heated electric furnace and cooled to obtain a metal whose tin grade was adjusted to 2% by mass.

[0035] Except having used the metal whose tin level adjusted to 2 mass % prepared above, it processed and analyzed similarly to Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0036]

[0037] As can be seen from the results in Table 2, for the tin removal treatment in Example-2, as long as 4.5 equivalents or more of sodium hydroxide is added to the theoretical amount of tin, an anode grade that can be electrolyzed in the electrolytic refining step of copper can be obtained.

Embodiment -3

[0039] In order to make the tin grade of the crude oxidized metal prepared in Example-1 4% by mass, the crude oxidized metal and tin metal as a reagent were put into a graphite crucible and melted at 1,200°C for 1 hour using an externally heated electric furnace. . Then, the graphite crucible was taken out from the externally heated electric furnace and cooled to obtain a metal whose tin grade was adjusted to 4% by mass.

[0040] The same treatment and analysis as in Example-1 were performed except that the metal prepared above with the tin grade adjusted to 4% by mass was used. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0041] Table 3 shows the results of analysis in the same manner as in Example-1, except that the copper metal having a tin grade of 4% by mass prepared above was used.

[0042]

[0043] As can be seen from the results in Table 3, for the tin removal treatment in Example 3, as long as 2 equivalents or more of sodium hydroxide is added relative to the theor...

Abstract

The objective of the invention is to provide a dry type refining method for eliminating tin from raw copper. It can reduce the tin content in raw copper during dry type refining and keep the tin content less than 0.33 wt%. The dry type refining method is that: smelting and reducing raw copper containing copper, tin and at least a noble metal among gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium together with noble metal scraps, flux and reducer; separating reduced slag from reduced metal; oxidizing and refining the melten reduced metal by air at a flux of 0.5-3L / min / kg metal for 0.5-7 hours; when the tin content in raw copper after oxidizing and refining is less than 4 wt%, adding 4.5 or above equivalent of sodium hydroxide relative to tin in raw copper, melting and oxidizing by oxygen-containing gas at or below a flux of 3L / min / kg metal for 0.5-3 hours, reducing the tin content in raw copper to a level at which copper can be electrolyzed and refined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for removing tin from blister copper obtained by dry refining. Background technique [0002] Generally, electrolytic copper in copper smelting is produced through the following steps. First, the copper concentrate is melted in an autothermal smelting furnace or a reverberatory furnace, etc., and then oxidized in a converter, and the obtained blister copper is refined in a refining furnace, and the obtained refined blister copper with a purity of 98-99% by mass is cast into Anode plates for copper electrolytic refining (hereinafter referred to as anodes). [0003] Next, the anode and cathode plates obtained by casting (hereinafter referred to as the cathode) are alternately arranged at a certain interval in the electrolytic cell that has added copper electrolyte, and the current density is 250A / m 2 Under the condition of energizing current of 99.99 mass % or above, copper ions are eluted from the anode as refi...
