Problems solved by technology

However, this method needs to add a large amount of oxidizing agent and neutralizing agent when regulating the pH and Eh of the electrolyte.
In addition, when using this method to treat the electrolyte, it will affect the electrolysis process, and the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell needs to be transported, and a separate purification workshop should be established for this purpose, which will increase the processing space and cost of purifying the electrolyte

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for in-situ precipitation and separation of arsenic in copper electrolyte. In a copper electrolytic refining process, the current density is controlled to be 400-600 A/m2; reaction is performed adopting a way that liquid is fed from bottom and discharged from the top or the liquid is fed between parallel polar plates; and moreover, BiAsO4 seed crystals are added after the reaction is performed for at least 4 hours so as to from in-situ induction of arsenic-containing crystalline precipitates in the copper electrolyte. according to the method disclosed by the invention, by utilizing the characteristic that substances containing arsenic, stibium and bismuth in the copper electrolyte can easily react with one another and on the premise of guaranteeing normal running of an electrolysis process, the formation and growth of arsenic-containing crystalline precipitates are induced by a synergistic effect of relevant parameters (current density, circulation wayof the electrolyte, the distance between an anode plate and an electrolyte inlet, and the concentration of the seed crystal) during electrolytic refining, thereby realizing high-efficiency sedimentation of the precipitates in the electrolyte and in-situ separation between the precipitates and muddy substances such as anode mud.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of arsenic removal and purification of copper electrolyte in nonferrous metal hydrometallurgy process, and specifically relates to a method for in-situ precipitation and separation of arsenic in electrolyte in copper electrolytic refining process. Background technique [0002] Copper electrolytic refining is a method widely used to prepare high-purity copper products. During the electrolytic refining process, the anode copper is dissolved under the action of electric current and acidic electrolyte, and then the dissolved copper ions are brought to the vicinity of the cathode surface by the circulating electrolyte and deposited on the cathode plate by electrochemical reaction, thereby obtaining higher purity Cathode copper (purity above 99.95%). However, during the electrolytic refining process, the soluble impurities in the anode (such as As, Sb, Bi, etc.), because their potential is close to that of copper, these im...
