Due to its strong X-ray adsorption function and unique physical and chemical properties, it is widely used in the manufacture of industrial products such as color picture tube glass, cathode ray tube, electronic ceramics, magnetic materials, fuel, paint and the like, and is related to more than ten industries such as electronics, chemical industry, military industry, building materials, non-ferrous metals, aerospace, light industry, medicine and food. At present, the research on strontium extraction technology mainly focuses on extracting strontium from strontium minerals, and celestite (strontium sulfate) is the most important mineral for extracting strontium. Based on the differences in chemical properties such as solubility and reducibility of strontium compounds, chemical beneficiation method is the main method for extracting strontium, mainly including carbon thermal reduction method and double decomposition method.

[0003] Zinc anode mud is produced in the electrowinning process of the zinc hydrometallurgy system. In the electrowinning process, strontium carbonate is often added to the electrolytic cell to improve the quality of the cathode zinc. The strontium carbonate is first converted into strontium sulfate in the electrolyte, and then co-precipitates with lead sulfate. About 40-50 kg of anode mud is produced per ton of zinc. The anode mud contains strontium, lead, manganese, zinc, calcium and other valuable metals. Therefore, recovering metallic strontium from zinc anode mud can solve the problems of insufficient resource utilization and serious pollution caused by the accumulation of waste anode mud. However, due to the low strontium content in the zinc smelting system of the non-ferrous metal smelting industry, the existing strontium recovery process has the problems of high cost and difficulty in industrialization.
