Abstract

The invention relates to a high-purity antimony producing method by a two-section fused salt electrolysis method. The high-purity antimony producing method includes: a step of adding smashed antimony blocks and a fused salt electrolyte into an electrolytic cell comprising a first graphite electrode and a second graphite electrode; a step of electrolyzing firstly by an anode method, wherein the first electrode is set as an anode, the second electrode is set as a cathode, in an anode region, the antimony and impurity metals lose electrons, become positive ions, enter the fused salts, migrate to the surface of the cathode under actions of an electric field and diffusion and receive the electrons, and the impurity metals, which have standard electrode potentials lower than the standard electrode potential of the antimony, comprising Na, K, Zn, Cd, Fe, Pb, Sn, Cu and Ni are removed; and a step electrolyzing firstly by a cathode method, wherein the first electrode is set as a cathode, the second electrode is set as an anode, the reduced antimony elementary substance is adopted as a cathode, and nonmetal impurity elements comprising As, S and Bi are removed. The high-purity antimony producing method adopts the two-section fused salt electrolysis method, and optimizes electrolysis parameters to obtain antimony having purity of 99.99%. The high-purity antimony producing method is simple in process and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity antimony, in particular to a method for producing high-purity antimony by a two-stage molten salt electrolysis method, which belongs to the metal purification industry. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, high-purity antimony has been widely used in the fields of semiconductor materials, phase change materials and infrared materials. Antimony ingots are the main products. Many developed countries import crude antimony from our country, and then sell it back to my country after further processing and purification, and obtain higher profits from it. Chinese patent CN101565781A discloses a method and device for producing high-purity antimony, CN101844229A discloses a preparation method and production equipment for high-purity antimony, CN201321484Y discloses a device for producing high-purity antimony, and CN1676638A discloses a puri...
