Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical and metallurgical technology, and in particular to a method for processing copper-containing materials with high arsenic content. Background Technology

[0002] The white smoke ash and arsenic sulfide slag generated during copper pyrometallurgical processes not only contain abundant valuable metals such as Cu, Zn, Pb, and Bi, but also a large amount of the hazardous metal As. Therefore, they are explicitly listed as Category HW48 in the National Hazardous Waste List. Due to their unique chemical composition and potential environmental hazards, these wastes face strict regulatory and treatment requirements. Because the legal sales channels for these hazardous solid wastes are relatively narrow, and the export process may pose high environmental risks, their prices in the valuable metals market are severely suppressed. This undoubtedly causes economic losses for copper smelting enterprises, limiting their profitability and sustainable development. Furthermore, to effectively recover valuable copper from copper smelting slag, copper smelters must adopt a series of cumbersome steps: the smelting slag must first undergo two roughing processes to remove most impurities, followed by three fine cleaning processes for further purification, and finally three sweeping processes to ensure recovery efficiency. This entire process is lengthy and complex, and the copper recovery rate from the smelting slag is less than 90%. Therefore, how to efficiently and safely process various intermediate products in the copper smelting process is the key to reducing costs and improving economic efficiency for copper smelting enterprises.

[0003] In related patents, arsenic sulfide slag is used to sulfide-precipitate copper in flue gas acid leaching solution. Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) is added to the copper-precipitated solution, and the reaction is carried out under oxygen pressure to generate highly stable arsenic trioxide (FeAsO4). However, a large amount of sulfuric acid is generated during the arsenic precipitation process. This excess sulfuric acid needs to be neutralized, resulting in a large amount of neutralization slag, which requires further treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0036] By controlling the reaction temperature, pressure, oxygen partial pressure, and reaction duration in the autoclave, approximately 95% of arsenic and iron are converted into FeAsO4 and deposited, thus achieving simultaneous arsenic removal and iron removal.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the solid-liquid separation can be carried out by means of filtration, pressure filtration, centrifugation, etc., for example, by pressure filtration.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0047] (1) This invention co-processes copper pyrometallurgical slag, white smoke dust and arsenic sulfide slag, which is a short-process hazardous waste treatment process. It achieves effective removal of arsenic greater than 93% or even 95% in the whole process, copper recovery rate greater than 92.5% or even 94%, zinc leaching rate greater than 98%, lead recovery rate greater than 92%, and bismuth recovery rate greater than 96%.

[0048] (2) Copper pyrometallurgical slag does not require flotation to recover copper. Instead, through synergistic treatment with white smoke dust, not only is the valuable metal copper in the slag effectively recovered, but also the harmful element arsenic is removed. Furthermore, the recovery rate of other valuable metals such as zinc, lead, and bismuth in the slag is maximized.

[0049] (3) By using arsenic sulfide slag as a reducing agent, the maximum utilization of arsenic sulfide slag resources is achieved. Furthermore, by employing secondary copper precipitation technology, the copper recovery rate in copper pyrometallurgical slag, white smoke dust, and arsenic sulfide slag can be consistently higher than 94%.

[0050] (4) Use the goethite method to remove iron, control the pH of the iron removal endpoint to 5~5.4. During the neutralization, hydrolysis and precipitation process, some arsenic in the solution will also precipitate out, ensuring that the liquid iron after iron removal is less than 20 mg / L and the arsenic is less than 15 mg / L.

[0051] (5) Resource utilization of iron (content up to 44%) in copper pyrometallurgical slag: Fe in the slag enters the solution through acid leaching. The iron-rich solution is used as an iron supplement in the process of treating arsenic sulfide slag in a high-pressure autoclave after copper precipitation by reduction of arsenic sulfide slag. This not only helps to effectively remove arsenic from arsenic sulfide slag, but also realizes the recycling of iron resources.

[0052] (6) Control the reaction temperature of the high pressure vessel to 150~170℃, maintain the pressure at 1~1.4MPa, set the oxygen partial pressure to 0.5~0.8MPa, and let the reaction last for 3~4h. ~95% of arsenic and iron are converted into FeAsO4 and deposited. At the same time as removing arsenic, the system removes iron.

[0053] (7) The goethite slag from the iron removal process is returned to the autoclave as an iron supplement for arsenic sulfide slag. By controlling the ratio of its iron source to that provided by copper smelting slag (e.g., about 1:0.8~1.1), the formation of alum slag in goethite can be avoided while ensuring the iron-arsenic molar ratio.

[0054] (8) This invention produces only one type of ferric arsenate slag (FeAsO4 content greater than 75%) for stockpiling; other filter residues can be sold externally at a price. The liquid after iron removal contains Zn ≥ 150 g / L, and after deep impurity removal, it can be sold externally or used to produce zinc sulfate heptahydrate products.

[0064] The embodiments of the present invention employ a "acid leaching-secondary copper plating-oxygen pressure leaching" process, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the specific scheme is as follows: Pb, Zn, and Cu in white dust and smelting slag mainly exist in the form of oxides or sulfates, while As mainly exists in the form of As2O3. Arsenic sulfide slag is mainly composed of sulfides. This invention first acid-leaches the smelting slag and white dust, allowing Cu, Zn, Fe, and As in the smelting slag and white dust to enter the solution, while Pb, Bi, and other elements are enriched in the lead-bismuth slag (sold externally). The acid leaching solution serves as the mother liquor for secondary copper precipitation of the arsenic sulfide slag. The copper-precipitated slag is sold externally. The liquid after copper precipitation is pumped into a high-pressure reactor for treating arsenic sulfide slag, converting approximately 95% of the arsenic into stable ferric arsenate precipitate. The leachate is then mixed with steel mill flue dust for secondary iron removal, forming goethite slag. The goethite slag is returned to the pre-treatment tank of the high-pressure reactor as a secondary iron source for oxygen pressure leaching of the arsenic sulfide slag. After iron removal, the liquid undergoes deep impurity removal to recover Zn from the solution.

[0070] This embodiment provides a method for the synergistic treatment of high-arsenic copper-containing materials, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0071] (1) Crush and grind the smelting slag and arsenic sulfide slag until mineral particles accounting for 90% or more of the total mineral weight can pass through a 200-mesh sieve.

[0072] (2) The finely ground smelting slag, white dust, and 45 g / L sulfuric acid solution are mixed to form a slurry. The prepared slurry is then pumped into an acid leaching tank for reaction.

The filter residue is lead-bismuth slag, and the filtrate is acid leaching solution. The lead-bismuth slag can be sold externally, and the acid leaching solution is subsequently mixed with arsenic sulfide slag to form a slurry.

[0073] (3) The acid leaching solution and arsenic sulfide slag are added to the primary copper precipitation tank in a calculated ratio. The feeding rate of the arsenic sulfide slag is 0.4866 t / h, and the reaction temperature is controlled at approximately 90℃ for 4 hours. The slurry after primary copper precipitation is filtered, and the resulting copper slag (i.e., copper concentrate) is sold. The liquid after primary copper precipitation flows into the secondary copper precipitation tank, where 0.05 t / h of arsenic sulfide is added and the reaction is carried out continuously at 90℃ for 4 hours. The slurry after secondary copper precipitation is filtered, and the resulting secondary copper precipitation slag is returned to the primary copper precipitation tank after pulping. The liquid after secondary copper precipitation is pumped to an autoclave for arsenic removal.

[0074] (4) Control the reaction temperature of the high-pressure reactor to 160℃, maintain the pressure at 1.2MPa, set the oxygen partial pressure to 0.6MPa, and continue the reaction for 3 hours. After the reaction is completed, the material is discharged into the flash tank to achieve rapid cooling and depressurization, and then transferred to the regulating tank for further cooling. Finally, liquid-solid separation is carried out, and the produced ferric arsenate leaching residue (i.e. ferric arsenate slag) is stockpiled, while the high-pressure leachate is used for the next step.

[0075] (5) Add steel mill flue dust to the high-pressure leachate and introduce 35% oxygen-enriched air, then start stirring to remove iron. The feeding rate of the steel mill flue dust is 0.87 t / h, the reaction time is about 5 hours, the final liquid iron content is controlled at 20 mg / L, and the final pH is 5.2. After the reaction is completed, liquid-solid separation is performed. The resulting goethite slag is returned to the autoclave as an arsenic removal and iron supplementation agent, while the liquid after iron removal can be sold or used to produce zinc sulfate heptahydrate after deep impurity removal.
