Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, no matter which technology is adopted at present, in the process of refining gold by electrolysis, the silver content in the anode gold is usually controlled within 5% (m/m). If the silver content is too high, the electrolysis cycle will be too long and the production efficiency will be low.
In addition, in order to improve the ele...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of gold electrorefining purification, in particular to an auxiliary reagent suitable for rapid electrorefining of high-silver alloyed gold. The auxiliary reagent QJ-D-1 for gold electrolysis is a mixture composed of 15-80% of ammonium chloride, 15-80% of potassium chloride, and 0.5-5% of sodium methylene dinaphthalene disulfonate serving as a dispersing agent. According to the invention, the severe anodic passivation phenomenon in the electrolysis process of the high-silver alloyed gold is reduced, the electrolysis efficiency of the high-silver sample is improved, the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the electrolyte is reduced to lower than 2 mol/L, and the environmental pollution is reduced. Alloyed gold with Ag content of 5-10% is directly electrolyzed, the quality of the product obtained after one-time electrolysis meets the requirements of national 1# standard gold and 2# standard gold, the yield of cathode gold within 40 hours is approximate to 70%, the residual anode rate is less than 20%, and the metal balance recovery rate is 99.92%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrolytic refining and purification of gold, in particular to an auxiliary reagent suitable for rapid electrolytic refining of high-silver alloy gold. Background technique [0002] There are many methods of gold purification, including fire oxidation refining, chlorination refining, electrolytic refining, chemical refining, solvent refining and so on. Among them, the electrolysis method has the advantages of simple process and stable product quality, but at the same time, it has the problems of long production process and serious gold backlog. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional electrolysis method, a rapid electrolysis process has been developed in recent years, which has greatly improved the electrolysis efficiency of gold. However, the most harmful component in electrolytic anode gold is silver. The silver in the anode gold becomes a silver chloride shell and adheres to the anode plate, ...
