Electrochemical separation and recovery method for gold and silver in copper matte

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrochemistry parting method of bullion in matte, which comprises procedures as follows: (1) electrochemistry dissolving: the matte anode plate and the copper negative plate of an outer housing anode bag are arranged at intervals in an electrochemistry dissolving tank containing sulphuric acid for the electrochemistry dissolving, and the byproduct of copper powder is produced; (2) oxidation and impurity removal: nitric acid is added into matte anode mud dissolved by the electrochemistry for oxidation and impurity removal; (3) filtration: after being oxidized andedulcorated , the matte anode mud is filtered; and sodium chloride is added into filtered liquor to generate depositional silver chloride; (4) aqua regia parting: filtered filter mass is put into theaqua regia for the aqua regia parting; (5) filtration: after the aqua regia parting, the filter mass is filtered; and (6) deoxidization: sodium sulfite is added into the filtered liquor containing gold and the filtered liquor is deoxidized into gold powder. The electrochemistry parting method solves the dynamic problem of matte extraction and has the characteristics of rapid extraction speed, little treating solution, short process, low investment, high comprehensive rate, good product purity, etc.

Description

Electrochemical separation and recovery method of gold and silver in matte copper 1. Technical field The invention relates to an electrochemical separation and recovery method for gold and silver in matte copper. 2. Background technology Matte is a product of fire smelting pond mud calcined sand. The chemical composition of matte is shown in the table below: It can be seen from the table that the copper matte contains Cu43.14%, Fe19.88%, S22.14%, which is basically the same as the composition of the process product matte of the copper smelter. It is a kind of copper sulfide, ferrous sulfide, etc. A co-melt of sulfides. Matte is a good carrier for precious metals like gold and silver. At present, the main method for processing and recycling gold and silver in matte copper is: firstly, the matte copper is blown into blister copper by fire method, then the blister copper is electrolyzed, and finally the copper anode slime is wet-processed to recover precious metal gold ...
