Abstract

The invention relates to a method for purifying zinc sulfate electrolyte by using metal aluminum powder. The method is characterized in that metal aluminum powder is used as a main purifying agent, or a copper-containing or antimony-containing substance is added as an auxiliary purifying agent; firstly, the aluminum powder is activated in an acidic or alkaline solution with a certain pH value; a proper amount of the purifying agent is added into a zinc sulfate solution to be purified with certain acidity and temperature to be fully mixed and subjected to complete reaction in a certain atmosphere, and liquid-solid separation is carried out; and the zinc electrolyte with qualified impurity metal ions and high-grade leaching residues containing valuable metals such as Ni, Co, Cu and Cd are obtained. According to the method, the technology is simple, the metal aluminum powder with the potential more negative than that of a zinc powder (traditional purifying agent) standard electrode is used as the purifying agent, the purifying technological process can be shortened, the using amount of the purifying agent is greatly reduced, and the slag phase where impurity valuable metal is easy to recover is produced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of purification of leaching liquid in hydrometallurgy. Metal aluminum powder is used as a purifying agent to purify impurity metal ions in a zinc sulfate solution to a qualified level, and produce leaching slag which is easy to recover impurity and valuable metals. Background technique [0002] In zinc smelting enterprises, impurity metal ions (Cu 2+ 、Cd 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Ni 2+ , Sb 2+ 、 Ge 2+ ) concentration is too high, which has a great negative impact on the economic and technical indicators of zinc electrodeposition and the quality of zinc electrodeposition. [0003] At present, the purification of these impurity ions mainly adopts the zinc powder replacement method, but the amount of zinc powder used is usually 6-10 times the theoretical amount, and the obtained slag phase has high zinc content and a large amount of slag, and Cu, Cd, Co, Ni, etc. are valuable. The enrichment of metals is not enough. The root cau...
