Problems solved by technology

However, reduction smelting-oxidation refining-electrolysis has the problems of large loss of precious metals and low direct yield. Gold and silver are distributed in primary slag, secondary slag, copper-bismuth slag, and tellurium slag, which greatly reduces the cost of gold, silver, and slag. direct yield of silver

Embodiment 1

[0061] The precious metals in the lead anode slime produced by the lead electrolytic cell of a lead smelter were enriched. Before the enrichment, the lead anode slime was put into a drying oven and dried at 140°C for 6 hours.

[0062] The composition of the obtained dry lead anode slime is shown in Table 1.

The time of vacuum distillation is 2.5h. After the vacuum distillation is finished, the first volatile matter and the obtained oxygen-containing high-silver alloy are collected, weighed, and then chemically analyzed.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for enriching and recovering precious metal in lead anode slime, and belongs to the technical field of heavy metal recovery. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, vacuum distillation is conducted on the lead anode slime, impurity elements Pb, Sb, As, Bi, Te and the like with low melting points and high vapor pressure in the lead anode slime are volatilized and removed, and primary enriching is conducted on the Ag and Au heavy metal in the lead anode slime to obtain an oxygen-containing high-silver alloy. According to the method, the oxygen-containing high-silver alloy and a reducing agent are mixed for vacuum reduction smelting, and in the vacuum smelting process, the impurity element oxygen in the alloy reacts with the reducing agent to beeffectively removed; and meanwhile, the impurity elements Pb, Sb, As, Bi and Te in the alloy are further removed, and the Ag and Au heavy metal is deeply enriched. Meanwhile, the method is simple in operation process, safe, clean and free of extra harmful gas, the obtained crude silver alloy is suitable for an existing Ag and Au recovering process, and connection with a traditional technological process is perfect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heavy metal recovery, in particular to a method for enriching and recovering precious metals in lead anode slime. Background technique [0002] Lead anode slime is the product of crude lead electrolytic refining, a metal that is less active than anode lead, and will not discharge during electrolysis, thus forming anode slime by precipitation. During anodic polarization, the main reasons for impurity metal elements to form anode slime are: ① due to the difference in equilibrium potential, impurity metal elements cannot be ionized; ② impurity metal elements react with the electrolyte and precipitate in an insoluble or insoluble state; ③ impurity metal elements Elemental partial oxidation analysis. Lead anode slime usually contains relatively high levels of lead, silver and some antimony, zinc, bismuth, copper, tellurium, arsenic and other elements, as well as precious metals such as Au and Ag. The metal e...
