Problems solved by technology

However, thiourea is easily oxidized, so it consumes a lot during use. At the same time, the price of thiourea is relatively high. From economic considerations, this method is difficult to apply in industrial production.
Ammonia water is a low-cost complexing reagent. The ammonia water leaching method is mainly suitable for the situation with high silver content. For the silver-containing samples of zinc smelting waste residue, the leaching rate is low, so it is not applicable

Abstract

The invention discloses a purpose of a by-product ammonium thiosulfate generated in a steel-making waste water treatment process as a complexing agent for leaching silver and its application method. According to the invention, the by-product ammonium thiosulfate generated in the steel-making waste water treatment process as the complexing agent are reacted with the silver-containing solution for leaching silver; the by-product ammonium thiosulfate generated in the steel-making waste water treatment process is taken as the complexing agent for leaching silver, because thiosulfate radical ion and silver ion can form a stable complex, ammonia ion and silver ion can form stable silver-ammonia complex ion, therefore a better leaching effect is provided to silver chloride, silver oxide, silver sulfide and metal silver, and the ammonium thiosulfate solution possesses high leaching rate to silver under low concentration, the invention has the advantages of short leaching time, high leaching rate, good selectivity, low base metal leaching rate, small environment damage and small hidden trouble in safety production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a use of ammonium thiosulfate, a by-product produced in the treatment process of steelmaking wastewater, as a complexing agent for leaching silver and a method for using it; it belongs to the technical field of silver recovery. Background technique [0002] Lead-zinc deposits are often associated with gold and silver ore, mainly distributed in the primary lead-zinc ore. Because the gold and silver grades of the associated ore are low, it is difficult to meet the industrial requirements of independent gold and silver mines. recycle and re-use. At present, due to the comprehensive consideration of economic benefits and process technology, the recovery rate of these associated silver is low. For example, in the Nanjing lead-zinc-silver mine, the comprehensive recovery rate of silver is about 55.8%. Therefore, in general, silver recovery technology still needs to be developed. [0003] At present, the methods of recovering silver...
