Abstract

The invention discloses an industrial method for selectively recycling copper and nickel from copper-nickel mud, belonging to the field of recycling non-ferrous metal resources. The industrial method comprises the following steps of: acid-leaching the copper-nickel mud; filtering leachate; punching the leachate to a sealed tubular slot from a circulating slot under the action of a circulating pump, rotating the solution in the slot at a high speed, and carrying out rotational flow electrolysis to remove the copper; returning electrodeposited solution to the leaching process for continuously carrying out leaching; and gathering the nickel in the copper-nickel mud for preparing nickel sulfate. According to the industrial method provided by the invention, an high-speed rotation electrolytic technology for a solution in an electrolytic cell is combined with other processes to recycle the metal in the solution for being continuously used for other industries, so that the waste material is changed into things of value for realizing recycling the resources; the current density and the current efficiency are high, the reagent consumption is low, the production cost is reduced, and performances of the enterprise are improved. Meanwhile, the solution is circulated in a closed-loop manner, so that no harmful gases are exhausted, and the existing circular economy and environmental protection theories are satisfied.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of recycling and utilization of non-ferrous metal resources, and specifically relates to an electrolysis technology that is efficient, reliable, simple in process flow, simple in operation, and low in cost to process copper and nickel mud electrowinning and recover copper and nickel. Background technique [0002] my country is the world's largest copper consumer, and its annual copper consumption accounts for about 21% of the total global consumption. However, my country is not a big resource of copper minerals. Copper reserves account for 5% of the world. With its own strength alone, China cannot maintain 21% consumption with 5% resources. A realistic and feasible way to alleviate this phenomenon is to actively use copper scrap resources to achieve sustainable copper development. [0003] As an important material for the national economy and national defense construction, nickel is also a supporting material for high-tech ...
