Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering tellurium from high-tellurium residues in an efficient and environment-friendly mode. The method includes the steps of breaking the high-tellurium residues, slowly adding hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide into the high-tellurium residues, controlling the temperature and continuously stirring to carry out oxidizing leaching; carrying out liquid-solid separation after the residues are completely dissolved, wherein tellurium oxide as the major element enters leaching solutions, valuable metal such as Pb and Ag enters leaching residues in the mode of chloride salt, and lead and silver residues return to a lead smelting system to recover the valuable metal; and adjusting the pH value of the tellurium-containing leaching solutions to be 5.0-6.0 through sodium hydroxide solutions, obtaining TeO2 sediments, carrying out liquid preparation after TeO2 is roasted and nitrate is removed and returning to the electrodeposition process to directly recover the tellurium. According to the method, the high-tellurium residues is directly leached to recover the tellurium through the hydrochloric acid and the hydrogen peroxide, the direct recovery rate of the tellurium can reach above 95%, so that efficient recovery of the tellurium is realized, the recovery rate of silver can reach above 99.0%, and the recovery rate of lead can reach above 97.6%. The method has the advantages that the technological processes are simple, needed equipment is reduced, the production cost is low, the environment friendliness is high and the comprehensive recovery degree is high, thereby having wide application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy of nonferrous metals, in particular to a method for recovering tellurium from high tellurium slag materials. Background technique [0002] In the tellurium smelting process, a kind of slag with high tellurium content will be produced, and most of the tellurium exists in the form of metal tellurium, and it also contains some valuable elements such as lead, silver, and antimony, such as tellurium casting slag. A kind of scum. Most enterprises usually return this slag directly to the silver smelting oxidation refining pyrotechnic process, and enrich and recycle it in the later stage of tellurium slag production. The recovery rate of metal tellurium in the process is less than 40%, which not only causes waste of raw materials and low recovery rate, but also has disadvantages such as long process, high production cost, harsh operating conditions, and poor economic benefits. In addition, the f...
