Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of smelting chemical equipment, and specifically relates to a device for recovering precious metals from metallurgical waste acid. Background Art
[0002] At present, most of the metallurgical and chemical industries use treatment processes such as pyrometallurgy to make copper and capture gold. When the ore powder enters the smelting furnace, the flue gas contains a large amount of fine dust that enters the sulfuric acid system. The fine particles are discharged into the water treatment with the waste acid and treated with acid and alkali neutralization. The particulate matter contains valuable elements such as gold, silver, copper and some heavy metals, which will be precipitated into the sewage slag with the acid-base reaction of the waste acid, causing the loss of valuable elements. In addition, the suspended particulate matter entering the water treatment process is prone to mixing, which has a certain impact on the stability and cost of the process. Utility Model Content

[0009] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0010] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0011] Refer to the attached Figure 1 A precious metal recovery device in metallurgical waste acid comprises a conical thickener 1, a central cylinder 5 is provided at the center of the conical thickener 1, a material inlet 12 is provided in the middle of the central cylinder 5, a clear liquid outlet 13 is provided at the upper part of the central cylinder 5, a waste acid mixing tank 7 is provided on the upper outer side of the conical thickener 1, the waste acid mixing tank 7 is connected to the reagent tank 6 through a pipeline, the waste acid mixing tank 7 extends into the conical thickener 1 through a pipeline and is connected to the material inlet 12, a hydraulic transmission system 8 is provided above the central cylinder 5, the hydraulic transmission system 8 is connected to the stirring shaft 15, and the stirring shaft 15 is connected to the stirring shaft 15. The lower end of the mixing shaft 15 is connected with the bottom outlet 18 of the conical thickener 1. The conical bottom of the conical thickener 1 is provided with a helical rake 10. The helical rake teeth collect the sludge concentrated at the bottom to the bottom outlet 18 of the conical thickener under the drive of the mixing shaft. The bottom of the conical thickener 1 is connected with the bottom liquid pump 4 through a pipeline. The bottom liquid pump 4 is connected with the filter press 2 through a pipeline. The filter press 2 is connected with the conical thickener 1 through a pipeline and a control valve 16. The conical thickener 1 is connected with the dilute acid storage tank 3 arranged outside the conical thickener 1 through an overflow pipe 11.
[0012] Specifically, the waste acid 9 enters the waste acid mixing tank 7, and the reagent enters the waste acid mixing tank 7 from the reagent tank 6 to mix with the waste acid. After mixing, it enters the central cylinder of the conical thickener through the pipeline and the material inlet 12. The larger fixed particles formed after the waste acid and the reagent react sink to the bottom of the conical thickener, and the clear liquid enters the overflow tank 17 from the clear liquid outlet 13. The waste acid with a higher solid content at the bottom is pumped into the filter press 2 under the action of the bottom liquid pump 4 to filter out the sludge in the waste acid. The filtrate from the filter press returns to the upper part of the thickener or the overflow tank 17, enters the dilute acid storage tank 3 through the overflow pipe 11, and then enters the water treatment process for treatment.
[0013] The utility model can effectively recover most of the valuable elements and heavy metals and other solid particles in the waste acid before entering the water treatment acid-base neutralization treatment, and return the recovered sludge to the front-end production process for ore matching and reuse, which is convenient for the implementation of the back-end sewage treatment and reduces the production cost.
