Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating a multi-element alloy of lead, bismuth, gold, silver and copper, which adopts a vacuum distillation method to treat the multi-element alloy, wherein the distillation temperature is 1,050 to 1,100 DEG C, the distillation time is 60 to 80min and the vacuum degree in a furnace is 5 to 15 Pa. Materials can be separated into a volatile (an alloy of lead and bismuth) and a residue (an alloy of gold, silver and copper). In the separated product, noble metals are gathered in 6 to 7 times; the recovery rate of each noble metal is over 99 percent; the loss of the noble metals is low; and the recovery rates of the lead and the bismuth are 98 percent and 98.5 percent respectively.

Description

1. Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating lead, bismuth, gold, silver and copper multi-element alloys, belonging to the technical field of vacuum metallurgy. 2. Background technology [0002] Lead-bismuth-gold-silver-copper multi-element alloys have a high content of precious metals and need to be recovered and purified. There are many kinds of elements in this alloy, and the composition is complex, so the processing method should strive for short process, continuous production, compact equipment, less various return materials, and short production cycle, so as to improve the direct metal recovery rate and reduce metal loss and capital backlog. At present, the known processing of this multi-element alloy mainly adopts the step-by-step process of bismuth removal→copper removal→silver extraction→gold extraction, which focuses on recovery. The common method of removing bismuth is mainly converter oxidation blowing to obtain bismuth oxide slag ...
