[0100] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, when the amount of phosphoric acid added in step S2 exceeds 1.7 times the total content of metal impurities in the sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed acid wastewater, the copper recovery rate decreases significantly.

[0101] Comparative Example 3: Comprehensive Utilization Method of Sulfuric Acid and Nitric Acid Mixed Acid Wastewater from a PCB Circuit Board

[0102] In this comparative example, the mass ratio of sulfuric acid to nitric acid in the mixed sulfuric acid and nitric acid wastewater was 2:1; the mass percentage concentration was 70%; the acidity was 20 mol / L; the Fe content was 42.5 mg / L; the Ni content was 8.9 mg / L; the Zn content was 16.2 mg / L; the Ca content was 7.1 mg / L; the Mg content was 12.6 mg / L; and the copper content of the waste PCB circuit board was 20 wt%.

[0103] S1.

[0107] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, when the mass percentage concentration and acidity of the sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed acid wastewater used are not within the preferred range of the present invention, it will lead to a significant decrease in copper recovery rate and purity of copper sulfate pentahydrate.

[0108] Comparative Example 4: Comprehensive Utilization Method of Sulfuric Acid and Nitric Acid Mixed Acid Wastewater from a PCB Circuit Board

[0109] The sulfuric acid to nitric acid ratio in the mixed sulfuric acid and nitric acid wastewater used in this comparative example was 2:1; the mass percentage concentration was 55%; the acidity was 12.33 mol / L; Fe: 33.2 mg / L; Ni: 6.5 mg / L; Zn: 12.1 mg / L; Ca: 6.3 mg / L; Mg: 9.6 mg / L; and the copper content of the waste PCB circuit board was 20 wt%.

[0110] S1. Add the sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed acid wastewater and the crushed waste PCB circuit board (the mass ratio of sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed acid wastewater to waste PCB circuit board is 1:100) into the catalytic oxidation reaction tank. After the catalytic oxidation reaction is carried out at 25°C for 60 minutes, the supernatant of the reaction tank is removed by pressure filtration to remove the residual PCB circuit board, and copper sulfate solution and tail gas are obtained.

[0111] S2. The copper sulfate solution is pumped into a pretreatment tank. Activated carbon (0.3% of the weight of the copper sulfate solution) is added first to remove oil and insoluble matter. Then urea (0.8 times the residual nitrate content in the copper sulfate solution) is added. After no more bubbles are generated, phosphoric acid (1.5 times the total metal impurities in the sulfuric acid-nitric acid mixed wastewater) is added. At the same time, sufficient ammonia is added to adjust the pH to 1.5. The mixture is stirred at 25°C for 30 minutes and filtered to obtain a purified copper sulfate solution. The purified copper sulfate solution is then evaporated, crystallized, centrifuged, and washed to obtain copper sulfate pentahydrate.

[0112] S3. The tail gas described in step S1 is sprayed and absorbed to obtain dilute nitric acid. Lime is added to adjust the pH to 1.5, and then ammonia water is added to adjust the pH to 7 to obtain calcium ammonium nitrate mother liquor. The calcium ammonium nitrate mother liquor is evaporated, crystallized, and granulated to obtain calcium ammonium nitrate.

[0115] The sulfuric acid to nitric acid ratio in the mixed sulfuric acid and nitric acid wastewater used in this comparative example was 2:1; the mass percentage concentration was 55%; the acidity was 12.33 mol / L; Fe: 33.2 mg / L; Ni: 6.5 mg / L; Zn: 12.1 mg / L; Ca: 6.3 mg / L; Mg: 9.6 mg / L; and the copper content of the waste PCB circuit board was 20 wt%.

Add the sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed acid wastewater and the crushed waste PCB circuit board (the mass ratio of sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed acid wastewater to waste PCB circuit board is 1:100) into the catalytic oxidation reaction tank. After the catalytic oxidation reaction is carried out at 25°C for 60 minutes, the supernatant of the reaction tank is removed by pressure filtration to remove the residual PCB circuit board, and copper sulfate solution and tail gas are obtained.

[0117] S2. The copper sulfate solution is pumped into a pretreatment tank. Activated carbon (0.3% of the weight of the copper sulfate solution) is added first to remove oil and insoluble matter. Then urea (1.4 times the residual nitrate content in the copper sulfate solution) is added. After no more bubbles are generated, phosphoric acid (1.5 times the total metal impurities in the sulfuric acid-nitric acid mixed wastewater) is added. At the same time, sufficient ammonia is added to adjust the pH to 1.5. The mixture is stirred at 25°C for 30 minutes, filtered, and purified copper sulfate solution is obtained. The purified copper sulfate solution is then evaporated, crystallized, centrifuged, and washed to obtain copper sulfate pentahydrate.

[0120] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1, Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5, when the amount of urea added in step S2 is not 1-1.2 times the residual nitrate content in the copper sulfate solution, the purity of copper sulfate pentahydrate decreases significantly.
