Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wet precious metal recycling technology, and specifically relates to a method and equipment for recycling precious metals from waste ceramics. Background Technology

[0002] Precious metals (such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, etc.) are often used as "refining agents" in ceramics. They are applied to ceramic materials in the form of powders, slurries, or salts as key additives or coatings to impart special properties. Their applications mainly include the following areas: Electronic ceramics field: Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs): As a key component in modern electronic devices (such as mobile phones, computers, and automobiles), MLCCs widely use precious metal pastes such as palladium and silver for their internal electrodes. Through printing, lamination, and co-firing processes, thousands of miniature capacitors are formed on a ceramic dielectric.

[0003] Piezoelectric ceramics: used in devices such as sensors, transducers, and filters. Their electrodes are usually made of silver or silver-palladium alloy paste to ensure excellent conductivity and co-firing compatibility.

[0004] Thick film circuits: circuits are formed by printing precious metal pastes such as gold, palladium-silver on ceramic substrates. They are widely used in hybrid integrated circuits, automotive electronics and other fields.

[0005] Structural ceramics and high-temperature resistant coatings: In aerospace and other fields, precious metals such as platinum are used as coatings or additives for ultra-high temperature ceramic components to improve their oxidation and corrosion resistance in extreme environments.

[0006] Composite materials: By combining precious metal fibers or particles with a ceramic matrix, new materials that combine the toughness and conductivity of metals with the hardness and high-temperature resistance of ceramics can be prepared, making them suitable for special fields such as aerospace and military.

[0007] Catalysis field: Precious metals (such as platinum and palladium) can be used as highly efficient catalysts, supported on porous ceramic (such as alumina) supports, to prepare three-way catalytic converters for automobile exhaust purification, as well as various petrochemical catalysts.

[0008] Arts and crafts ceramics field: Gold-decorated ceramics: Represented by German Meissen porcelain and Qing Dynasty imperial porcelain in China, these ceramics often employ gilding / plating techniques, mixing gold powder with resin or oil to create gold paint, which is then applied to the surface of the fired porcelain.

[0009] Gold Water / Bright Gold: A pre-prepared gold resin acid salt solution that can be directly applied. The process is simple and the cost is low. It is widely used for edging, outlining and other decorations on daily-use porcelain and decorative porcelain.

[0011] To overcome the above problems, the present invention provides a method and equipment for recovering precious metals from waste ceramics, which can simultaneously recover valuable precious metals from waste ceramics and regenerate ceramic powder. The regenerated ceramic powder can be used as a basic material for the ceramic industry.

[0012] A method for recovering precious metals from waste ceramics includes the following: Step 1: Crush the waste ceramics to obtain coarse-grained ceramic fragments; Step 2: Grind the coarse-grained crushed porcelain material into a particle size of no more than 200 mesh to obtain porcelain powder slurry; Step 3: Adjust the mass fraction of the ceramic powder slurry to not less than 15% and not more than 30%, and then perform gravity separation using a shaking table; Step 4: The refined material and tailings after gravity separation are subjected to solid-liquid separation, and the filtrate is returned to Step 2 for ball milling.

[0042] The working process of this invention is as follows: A feeding robot is connected to the vibrating feeder 22 of the multi-stage crusher 2. The feeding robot picks up waste ceramics and feeds them into the vibrating feeder 22 of the multi-stage crusher 2. The vibrating feeder 22 vibrates, continuously supplying waste ceramics to the hammer crusher 23. Under the action of the hammer crusher 23, the waste ceramics are crushed into larger ceramic powder. The crushed ceramic powder is collected through the receiving hopper 24 and falls into the roller crusher 25 for further pulverization into smaller ceramic particles. The ceramic particles crushed by the roller crusher 25 fall into the screw conveyor 26 and are continuously conveyed to the buffer. In silo 3, a ball mill 5 pre-filled with a measured amount of water is started. Smaller ceramic particles in silo 3 are quantitatively added to the ball mill 5 by a screw conveyor 4. Under the grinding action of the ball mill 5, the smaller ceramic particles are transformed into a fine slurry of 200 mesh or finer particles. The slurry ground by the ball mill 5 is then conveyed to a concentration adjustment tank 6. The slurry concentration is adjusted in the concentration adjustment tank 6. Once the required concentration is reached, the slurry is fed to a shaking table 7 via a first conveying pump 151. The shaking table 7 is started, and under the action of gravity separation, the ceramic slurry with a higher specific gravity and containing precious metal materials, i.e., the refined material, enters the refined material buffer tank 8, while the ceramic slurry with a lower specific gravity, i.e., the tail material, enters the tail material buffer tank 8. The ceramic slurry containing precious metal materials in the feed buffer tank 9 and the refined feed buffer tank 8, and the ceramic slurry in the tailings buffer tank 9 are fed into the refined feed filter 10 and the tailings filter 11 respectively under the action of the second conveying pump 152 and the third conveying pump 153 for solid-liquid separation. The separated process water is returned to the ball mill 5. The ceramic powder containing precious metal materials discharged from the refined feed filter 10 is sent to the pyrolysis furnace 12 for high-temperature pyrolysis to remove organic materials, achieving complete exposure of the precious metal materials. The ceramic powder discharged from the tailings filter 11 is sent to the ceramic preparation plant for use as a base material. The material that has completed pyrolysis in the pyrolysis furnace 12 is sent to the acid leaching kettle 13. The agent vessel 14 adds a specified amount of acid leaching solution to the acid leaching vessel 13 through the fourth transfer pump 154. The pyrolyzed material reacts in the acid leaching vessel 13 to dissolve the precious metal material and fully dissociate the precious metal material from the ceramic powder. After acid leaching, the acid leaching slurry is sent to the acid leaching filter 1 by the fifth transfer pump 155. The acid leaching filter 1 filters the precious metal leaching solution and the ceramic powder to achieve the final separation. The ceramic powder obtained after filtration is further neutralized in alkaline water in the acid leaching filter 1 and then sent to the ceramic manufacturing plant as a base material. The acid leaching solution obtained after filtration enters the next process for reduction and purification to prepare metal materials.
