Problems solved by technology

But it has the following disadvantages: 1) there is the accumulation of growth and accumulation of sodium sulfide, the oxidation of polysulfide and the accumulation of sulfate and sulfite in the leaching process; 2) the current efficiency is low, generally 70%, so the power consumption is high (3000 -4000kWh / tSb); 3) High leaching temperature, large volatilization of sodium sulfide, and harsh operating environment; 4) High alkali consumption, complicated process, and complicated sodium sulfide removal and recovery systems are required after antimony concentrate leaching
But for complex antimony lead ore, it is not suitable to use hydrochloric acid-sodium chloride (or calcium chloride) system
When the system is electrolyzed with antimony-lead ore slurry, antimony and lead can be completely leached at the same time, and the leached antimony and lead will complex with chloride ions in the solution to form antimony-lead-chloride complexes, resulting in a relatively high concentration of lead in the system. Large solubility, due to the small difference in redox potential between antimony and lead, antimony and lead can be precipitated at the cathode at the same time, and effective separation of antimony and lead cannot be achieved

Abstract

A process for preparing antimony from the slurry of Sb-contained sulfide ore features that the said slurry is electrolyzed in the hydrochloric acid-ammonium chloride medium to produce the metal antimony plate under the conditions that the concentration of hydrochloric acid in slurry is 15-40 g/L, the concentration of ammonium chloride in it is 150-250 g/L, the concentration of Sb in it is 10-50 g/L, the temp. is from ordinary temp of 70 deg.C and current density of cathode is 150-200 A/sq.m. Its advantages are short flow path, one-step production of Sb plate, high metal recovery rate, and selective extraction of Sb.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] A method for producing antimony by electrolysis of antimony-containing sulfide mineral slurry, involving a method of extracting antimony from antimony concentrate or complex and difficult-to-handle antimony-containing sulfide minerals, such as brittle stibnite, antimony / gold mixed concentrate or arsenic-containing antimony concentrate , especially the method of extracting antimony from the above-mentioned antimony-containing minerals by means of slurry electrolysis technology. (2) Background technology [0002] The traditional wet antimony smelting process is to use antimony concentrate sodium sulfide leaching-leaching solution purification-diaphragm electrowinning to produce electroantimony. But it has the following disadvantages: 1) there is the accumulation of growth and accumulation of sodium sulfide, the oxidation of polysulfide and the accumulation of sulfate and sulfite in the leaching process; 2) the current efficiency is low, generally 70%...
