Abstract

The invention relates to acidic ionic liquid and a method for obtaining objective metals or removing poisonous metals from metal solid-phase matters. The method comprises the following steps: (1) taking the acidic ionic liquid of the invention as an extraction agent, and carrying out solvent extraction on metal solid-phase matters; and (2) carrying out electrolysis on an extract of the step (1) to obtain the objective metals or remove the poisonous metals, wherein the metal solid-phase matters comprise the following components: (a) indissolvable oxide, chloride, phosphate compounds or hydroxide of the objective metals, (b) a mixture of indissolvable oxides of various metals, (c) spent fuels containing poisonous metals and the like. By the method, the use amount of acid and organic solvents can be reduced effectively. In addition, by characteristics of low volatility, high electric conductivity and the like of the acidic ionic liquid, required energy during electrolysis is reduced, costs and environmental harm in a metallurgical process are reduced, and environmental protection property of the process is improved. The method has great value on the industry.
