Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of non-ferrous metal smelting technology, specifically to a controlled potential, high recovery rate, and emission-reducing copper anode sludge treatment process. Background Technology
[0002] Copper anode slime is a byproduct of the electrolytic refining of copper anode plates obtained from pyrometallurgical copper smelting. It contains a large amount of rare and precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, selenium, and tellurium, as well as heavy metals such as copper, lead, bismuth, tin, and antimony. It is an important source of raw materials for the recovery of rare and precious metals and non-ferrous heavy metals. The types and recovery rates of its valuable elements have become one of the important factors affecting the economic benefits of copper smelting enterprises.
[0003] Currently, the most mature process for treating copper anode sludge is a process mainly consisting of "two pretreatment steps to remove antimony and bismuth—rotary kiln sulfation roasting and selenium distillation—water leaching for copper separation—chlorination for gold and tellurium separation—sodium sulfite for silver separation." However, the existing process suffers from difficulties in processing intermediate materials (carbon copper slag and antimony-bismuth purification slag), resulting in low antimony recovery rates. Valuable elements are severely dispersed; tellurium is dispersed in antimony-bismuth purification slag, carbon copper slag, and platinum-palladium concentrate, with a recovery rate of approximately 75%; antimony is dispersed in antimony-bismuth purification slag, carbon copper slag, and silver separation slag, with a recovery rate of less than 80%. The "two pretreatment steps to remove antimony and bismuth" generate a large amount of high-chloride wastewater, requiring significant sulfuric acid replenishment during the process, leading to severe acid expansion in the system, high wastewater output, and low reuse rates. Therefore, we need to propose a potential-controlled, high-recovery, emission-reducing copper anode sludge treatment process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-recovery, emission-reducing copper anode sludge treatment process with controlled potential. Each step employs a controlled potential method, which effectively regulates the metal leaching and reduction rates at each stage, reduces the loss rate of valuable metals in each step, and improves the overall metal recovery rate. A sulfidation process is used to treat the antimony-bismuth removal solution, enriching antimony and bismuth in the form of sulfides. An evaporation crystallization method is used to open most of the copper in the anode sludge in the form of crude copper sulfate. While enriching antimony and bismuth, the production of basic copper carbonate is significantly reduced, improving the sales efficiency of copper metal. The "rotary kiln selenium distillation" and "water leaching copper separation" processes are eliminated, reducing the system acid expansion caused by the "rotary kiln selenium distillation" process. By using the recycled reduction solution and the secondary gold separation solution as the acid source for the antimony-bismuth removal process and the primary gold separation solution, the waste acid reuse rate and the recovery rate of valuable elements can be improved. This effectively reduces the total wastewater discharge, simplifies the process flow, and improves the recovery rate of valuable metals, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

The reaction temperature is controlled at 50-90℃, and the liquid-solid ratio between the sulfuric acid solution and the anode mud is 4-6:
1. The anode mud is aerated for 6-10 hours during the reaction to remove copper, resulting in copper-removed slag and copper-removed liquid. S2.

The copper removal slag is subjected to antimony and bismuth removal under the condition of chloride ion concentration of 120-200 g / L. After the reaction has been carried out for 2-4 hours, sulfur dioxide gas is continuously introduced into the mixture of acid solution and copper removal slag for 1-4 hours until the potential of the mixture is lower than 300 mV, in order to inhibit tellurium leaching.

After the reaction is completed, the potential is controlled above 1020 mV, and the secondary chlorination leaching solution is returned to the next batch of primary chlorination leaching process. S6. Reduction process: A reducing gas is introduced into the primary chlorination leaching solution to carry out the reaction, and then filtered to obtain reduction residue and reduced solution. Sulfur dioxide is used as the reducing gas. The sulfur dioxide reacts with the metal chlorides in the primary chlorination leaching solution to reduce the metal chlorides to elemental metals. When the reaction reaches a potential below 300mV, the metals other than copper, antimony, and bismuth are enriched. The reduced solution is then returned to the next batch of antimony and bismuth removal process.
2. The copper anode sludge treatment process with controlled potential, high recovery rate, and emission reduction according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step 2, when the copper removal solution is heated and evaporated, the water content in the solution decreases, which increases the concentration of copper ions until it reaches saturation and forms crude copper sulfate crystals, thus enriching the copper ions.
