Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metal recycling, and particularly to a method for self-heating collaborative smelting to recycle copper and to impoverish matte converting slag. Background Art

[0002] Copper-based waste materials are rich in valuable metals such as copper, tin, gold, and silver. Currently, they are recycled by using either a fully wet leaching method or a pyrometallurgical smelting method, with the pyrometallurgical smelting method being the most widely used.

[0003] Currently, the pyrometallurgical recycling process has high requirements for copper-based waste materials and often requires the addition of slag formers such as lime and hematite. On the other hand, the impoverishment of matte converting slag mainly uses reduction impoverishment or beneficiation impoverishment, with reduction impoverishment being the main method; in the reduction impoverishment process, a reducing agent, a sulfiding agent, and a slag former need to be added simultaneously to achieve better results, and matte is obtained after impoverishment. When directly reducing and impoverishing matte converting slag, the amount of slag is large and the amount of matte is small, making it difficult to separate slag and matte. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, this application adopts the following technical solutions: This application provides a method for self-heating collaborative smelting to recycle copper and to impoverish matte converting slag, including: Directly discharging the liquid matte converting slag generated during the copper smelting process into a hot collaborative smelting furnace, adding multi-source copper-based solid waste that has been roughly broken and mixed, and performing collaborative smelting under the condition of oxygen-enriched air. The collaborative smelting includes a melting period, an impoverishment period, and a standing period; During the melting period, copper, aluminum, iron, lead, and tin in the copper-based solid waste quickly melt to form first crude copper; During the impoverishment period, aluminum and iron in the first crude copper and the organic matter in the copper-based solid waste act as reducing agents to reduce the oxides of copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, and lead in the matte converting slag into a metallic state and enter the first crude copper to form second crude copper, and iron and aluminum are oxidized and enter the matte converting slag to form second slag; During the standing period, a reducing agent is added and blowing is stopped.

[0014] Optionally, the reducing agent includes waste resin, coke chips, coal, and charcoal, and the addition amount is 0.1-2 wt% of the total amount of the multi-source copper-based solid waste and the matte converting slag.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application include: The present application combines the co-smelting of copper-based solid waste with the reduction and depletion of matte slag, which not only solves the problems of difficult slag formation and low copper recovery rate in the co-smelting of copper-based solid waste, but also solves the problems of few reduced and depleted metal phases in matte slag and difficult separation of slag and matte. By modifying and reducing the matte converting slag, medium-valued metals in the converting slag enter the blister copper, and iron, aluminum, etc. in the copper-based waste enter the smelting slag to form slag, ultimately realizing the efficient recovery of valuable metals such as copper. The process does not require the addition of slag-forming agents and sulfiding agents, and realizes 100% self-flux smelting. Description of the Drawings
