Problems solved by technology

The process uses mixed acid of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, which requires too high corrosion resistance of the equipment, and the operating conditions are harsh, so the popularization and application are limited
[0007] In the practice of processing copper anode slime in the Kaldor furnace, after the copper anode slime is pretreated and decoppered, tellurium is only recovered as an additional product, so the recovery rate of tellurium is not high
The tellurium-containing Kaldor furnace smelting slag returns to the large smelting system, causing the cycle accumulation of tellurium, so finding a method that can efficiently recover tellurium is of great significance for the Kaldor furnace method to treat copper anode slime

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of low-temperature and low-pressure countercurrently leaching tellurium from copper anode mud. In the invention, according to the solubility of tellurium in a sulfuric acid system, under a low temperature and low pressure condition, the copper anode mud, after water washing, is processed through the processes of performing countercurrent leaching process to controlled-leaching the tellurium, feeding a secondary leaching solution to the primary leaching step, and recycling the copper and tellurium from the primary leaching solution, and ending the process. The method can significantly improves the effect of removing copper and tellurium from the copper anode mud during a pre-treatment process before material feeding in a Kaldo furnace smelting process. On the basis of ensuring copper removal rate, leaching of the tellurium is enhanced, so that the method is more than 99% in copper removal rate and is 70-85% in tellurium removal rate. The method reduces circulating accumulation of the tellurium in the system, reduces or avoids influences of the tellurium on subsequent noble metal recovery, and increases economic benefit of enterprises through centralized treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for secondary recovery and utilization of mineral resources, in particular to a method for strengthening tellurium leaching in copper anode slime, in particular to a method for strengthening tellurium leaching by changing the leaching conditions and operation mode according to the solubility of tellurium in acidic solution. Background technique [0002] Scattered metal tellurium has many good physical properties, and is an indispensable key material for manufacturing components such as optoelectronics, semiconductors, and refrigeration, and is widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace, military, and electrical. With the increasing demand for the quantity and quality of tellurium in the market, how to extract tellurium from tellurium-containing materials has become an important research direction.
