Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering silver, indium and cadmium from silver-indium-cadmium alloy waste. The method comprises the following steps: I, smelting the silver-indium-cadmium alloy waste under a vacuum condition to obtain cadmium powder and silver-indium alloy; II, carrying out a leaching reaction on the silver-indium alloy and dilute sulfuric acid and filtering to obtain solid residues and leachate; III, eluting the solid residues through acidic deionized water, then washing the solid residues to be neutral through deionized water, and drying to obtain silver powder; and IV, diluting the leachate, and putting an aluminum plate into the diluted leachate for a replacement reaction to obtain sponge indium. Through adoption of the method, the mass purity of the recycled silver powder is not smaller than 99%, the yield of the silver powder is larger than 99.6%, the mass purity of the recycled sponge indium is not smaller than 99%, the yield of the sponge indium is larger than 99%, the mass purity of the recycled cadmium powder is not smaller than 99%, and the yield of the cadmium powder is larger than 98%. The recycled silver, indium and cadmium can be directly used for preparing a silver-indium-cadmium alloy material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of waste recycling, and in particular relates to a method for recycling silver, indium and cadmium from silver-indium-cadmium alloy waste. Background technique [0002] Silver-indium-cadmium alloys are mainly used as nuclear-level key control materials. They are mainly used to absorb neutrons, change the number of neutrons in the core, and realize the control of nuclear fission chain reactions. [0003] A large amount of waste will be generated during the smelting and processing of silver indium cadmium alloy, and the current recycling process of silver indium cadmium alloy waste is mainly hydrometallurgy, that is, silver indium cadmium alloy waste is cast into anodes, and silver is recovered through electrolytic refining. Then, because the mass fraction of silver in the anode made of silver indium cadmium alloy is about 80%, as the electrolysis proceeds, indium and cadmium, which are negative in electrical ...
