[0033] (7) Vacuum distillation: Place the precious metal primary enrichment slag from step (6) into a vacuum furnace for vacuum distillation. First, use a vacuum pump to evacuate the air in the vacuum furnace, then introduce nitrogen into the vacuum furnace to ensure that the pressure in the furnace is ≥1.0×10 5 Pa, stabilize for 20 minutes, then slowly vent, adjust the pressure to 0.1-0.4 Pa, control the temperature at 130-150°C, control the distillation time at 30-45 minutes, and volatilize and condense the sulfur in the precious metal primary enrichment slag to obtain crude sulfur.

After the constant temperature is achieved, the sulfur and filter residue are immediately filtered to obtain the sulfur and filter residue, and the filter residue is sent to the vacuum distillation process.
[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] (1) The present invention adopts the method of high pressure oxygen leaching to remove the S in the hot filter residue. 2-It is converted into elemental sulfur and precipitated in the slag. At the same time, sulfate in the hot filter residue will also enter the solution. At the same time, more than 99% of the sulfur in the leached residue after high-pressure oxygen leaching exists in the form of elemental sulfur, thereby improving the sulfur recovery rate of the entire system.
[0039] (2) The present invention uses only sulfuric acid and oxygen as leaching agents, which not only allows more than 99% of Cu, Ni, and Fe in the hot filter residue to enter the solution, but also does not use nitrate- and chlorine-containing reagents, nor does it use alkaline leaching agents such as sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfide, and ammonia water, ensuring that precious metals such as gold, platinum, and palladium in the hot filter residue do not enter the solution, and more than 99.9% of the precious metals are retained in the primary enrichment residue of the precious leaching.
[0040] (3) The present invention uses sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to precipitate iron, and uses sodium sulfide to precipitate copper and nickel in stages. While sodium sulfide precipitates copper and nickel, a small amount of other heavy metals in the solution will also precipitate. In this way, the heavy metals in the solution after nickel precipitation are purified, and the main component of the solution is sodium sulfate. The sodium sulfate produced after the triple-effect crystallization can be used as a raw material for producing industrial sodium sulfate. The high-pressure oxygen leaching system does not produce wastewater or waste residue.
[0041] (4) The present invention utilizes the principle that the solubility products of copper sulfide and nickel sulfide differ significantly, precipitating copper first and then nickel. However, when copper is precipitated, some nickel will precipitate in the copper sulfide slag. The copper sulfide slag is washed with a high-pressure oxygen leaching solution, causing the nickel sulfide in the copper sulfide slag to react with the copper in the leaching solution and re-enter the solution. This not only improves the nickel recovery rate of the entire process, but also improves the utilization rate of sulfur in the sodium sulfide.
[0042] (5) The present invention adopts a low-cost hot filtration method to separate most of the sulfur in the high-pressure oxygen leaching slag from the precious metals to form sulfur; and adopts a vacuum distillation method to continue to volatilize the sulfur remaining in the precious metals in the hot filtration slag, but controls the distillation time to ensure that the sulfur in the precious metal secondary enrichment slag after distillation is still 30%-40%, so that the precious metals therein are not entrained into the crude sulfur, thereby improving the direct recovery rate of precious metals.
[0043] (6) The present invention uses hydrochloric acid and chlorine to leach the precious metals in the precious metal secondary enrichment slag, and uses zinc powder to replace the precious metals therein. After repeated cycles, the system is mainly composed of zinc chloride, and after purification, a zinc chloride crystal product can be obtained. The chlorination leaching system also does not produce wastewater and waste residue. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
