Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of copper electrolytic refining, and in particular to an electrolyte used for electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates to prepare high-purity copper and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] High-purity copper is a key supporting material for industries such as electronic information, high-end equipment manufacturing, and national defense and military industries. It has excellent properties such as high residual resistivity, high thermal conductivity, low softening temperature, and good machinability. It is widely used in high-end technology fields such as integrated circuits, electronic packaging, superconductivity, semiconductors, and aerospace. The main methods for preparing high-purity copper include electrolytic refining, zone smelting, anion exchange, vacuum electron beam melting, and suspension melting. As the most basic and commonly used method, electrolytic refining is widely used in industrial production due to its stable production process conditions.

[0003] At present, the electrolytic refining method for preparing high-purity copper uses 4N grade copper as the anode plate and titanium plate as the cathode plate, and prepares 5N grade and above high-purity copper through one or more electrolysis. However, due to the increasing complexity of the composition of copper concentrate in my country, the silver (Ag) impurity content in the copper plates prepared by pyrometallurgy has increased. For the electrolytic refining of high-purity copper using high-silver content copper plates as anode plates, there are technical disadvantages such as low copper quality and low production efficiency. On the one hand, the high silver content of the copper plate will cause Ag in the electrolyte during the electrolysis process. + The concentration increases, which leads to a high Ag content in the prepared cathode copper, resulting in a decrease in copper purity; on the other hand, some of the suspended anode mud produced during the electrolysis process tends to adhere to the cathode surface to form particles, affecting the quality of high-purity copper and causing a large amount of precious metal (Ag) to be seriously lost.

[0004] The prior art prevents anode mud from falling onto the cathode plate by wrapping anode bags on the anode plate, increasing the circulation speed of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and increasing the current density during the electrolysis process, thereby reducing the loss of precious metals and improving the quality of the cathode copper plate. For example, a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN106868543B, which was authorized on December 22, 2020, discloses a system and method for electrolytic refining of crude copper with a high precious metal content. The circulation mode of the electrolyte in the cell is modified from bottom-in and top-out in the cell, low-level cell-high-level cell-electrolytic cell-low-level cell, to a circulation mode in which the electrolyte in the cell is parallel to the arrangement direction of the plates, flows in and out from the bottom, flows out through the overflow port, and then returns to the low-level cell. The circulation speed of the electrolyte in the cell is increased, and the anode bags are wrapped on the anode plate to prevent the anode mud from falling onto the cathode, thereby reducing the loss of precious metals and improving the quality of the cathode copper plate. The current density during electrolysis is increased to 600-1000A / m 2, reducing the amount of precious metals occupied during the electrolytic refining process. However, this method requires improving the layout of the electrolytic cells and installing a circulating pump, which greatly increases the complexity of the electrolytic refining process and increases the process cost. The electricity cost caused by the high current density also increases sharply.

[0005] In the electrolytic refining process, in order to obtain electrolytic copper with a smooth surface and high purity, additives can also be added to the electrolyte. The additives can not only make the cathode copper deposit fine, clean and tough, but also reduce the impurity content in the copper deposit. In June 2012, Xu Li et al. published the article "The Effect of 1-Octyl-2,3-Dimethylimidazolium Chloride Ionic Liquid on the Surface Quality of Electrolytic Copper" in which 1-Octyl-2,3-Dimethylimidazolium Chloride Ionic Liquid (abbreviated as [OMMIm]C1) was used as an additive for electrolytic refining of copper. The electrolyte composition is: Cu 2+ 46~48g / L, H2SO4 169~171g / L, [OMMIm]C1 0~50mg / L, electrolyte temperature 62℃, current density 250A / m 2 The additive can refine the cathode copper grains, make the plate surface smooth and dense, and improve the surface quality of the cathode copper. However, the additive is still difficult to achieve the preparation of high-purity copper for electrolytic refining of copper plates with high silver content.

[0006] Therefore, in order to reduce costs and improve the quality and production efficiency of cathode copper, it is urgent to develop a method for preparing high-purity copper through one-time electrolytic refining using a high-silver content copper plate as an anode plate. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide an electrolyte for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates, so as to solve the problems of low purity and high impurity content of cathode copper prepared by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates.

[0008] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates, so as to solve the problem of low purity and high impurity content of cathode copper prepared by electrolytic refining of high-silver content copper plates.

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the electrolyte for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plate of the present invention is as follows:

[0010] An electrolyte for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates, the electrolyte comprising an electrolyte mother solution and an additive, the electrolyte mother solution comprising CuSO4 and H2SO4, the additive being an amino-functionalized imidazole ionic liquid, the amino-functionalized imidazole ionic liquid being a 1-aminoalkyl-3-methylimidazolium halide, and the mass concentration of the additive in the electrolyte being 0.01-0.08 g / L.

[0011] The present invention is an improvement on the prior art, and provides an electrolyte for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates. By adding amino-functionalized imidazole ionic liquid additives to the electrolytic mother liquor, the imidazole cations and amino functional groups in the additives can cooperate with the fine suspended anode mud produced during the electrolysis process to produce flocculation. The reason is that the imidazole cation is a positively charged five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle with strong polarity and hydrophilicity, and can react with the particles in the suspended anode mud to enhance the interaction between the particles, thereby promoting the aggregation of the particles into flocs; at the same time, the amino functional group can react with hydrogen ions under acidic conditions of the electrolyte to carry a positive charge, and can also interact with the surface of negatively charged suspended particles to promote aggregation between particles. The flocculation effect of the additives and the fine suspended anode mud can reduce the fine suspended anode mud from entering the cathode copper in the form of mechanical adhesion and inclusion, and the ionic liquid additive can react with Ag. + The reaction generates precipitation, reducing the Ag content in the electrolyte + The concentration reduces the Ag content in the cathode copper, thereby reducing the silver and other impurities in the prepared cathode copper, greatly improving the purity of the cathode copper; the obtained cathode copper has good surface quality and the surface crystal is flat and dense.

[0012] In order to further reduce impurities in cathode copper, preferably, the 1-aminoalkyl-3-methylimidazolium halide is selected from one or more of 1-aminopropyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-aminopropyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide.

[0013] In order to further improve the deposition quality of cathode copper, preferably, the mass concentrations of CuSO4 and H2SO4 in the electrolyte are 20-50 g / L and 50-90 g / L, respectively.

[0014] The technical solution of the method for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plate of the present invention is:

[0015] A method for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates comprises the following steps: using the high-silver copper plates as anodes, electrolytically refining copper in an electrolyte used for electrolytic refining of high-purity copper by high-silver copper plates, wherein the silver content of the high-silver copper plates is 640-820 g / t, and during the electrolytic refining of copper, the anodes are wrapped with anode bags.

[0016] The present invention adopts an electrolyte added with a specific type of ion additive to electrolyze and refine copper, and utilizes the flocculation effect of the ion additive on the fine suspended anode mud generated during the electrolysis process, and the ionic liquid additive and Ag +The precipitation effect can reduce the silver and other impurities in the prepared cathode copper, greatly improving the purity of the cathode copper; and the anode bag can prevent the anode mud from falling into the solution during the electrolysis process, thereby reducing the generation of suspended anode mud, and can reduce the suspended anode mud from entering the cathode copper in the form of mechanical adhesion and inclusion, achieving the effect of deep physical isolation of impurities, thereby avoiding the contamination of the cathode copper by the anode mud. The preparation method of electrolytic refined copper of the present invention has a silver content of 640-820g / t in the high-silver copper plate used as the anode, and a copper purity of 99.2-99.6%.

[0017] The method for preparing high-purity copper by electrolytic refining of high-silver copper plates provided by the present invention does not require improvement of the electrolytic cell structure, nor does it require introduction of a circulating pump and a large electrolytic current. The process is simple, the cost is low, and it is easy to implement. The problem of multiple electrolysis required for preparing high-purity copper by traditional electrolytic refining is avoided, thereby greatly improving the quality of high-purity copper and the economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0018] In order to further increase the electrolysis rate of electrolytic refining, preferably, the electrolysis temperature during electrolytic refining of copper is 40-60°C.
