[0016] Further, the filter sieve plate (4) is a stainless steel sieve plate, and the sieve opening size is 5-20 mm.
[0017] Further, the slope i of the bottom of the displacement reaction pool (1) is greater than 30%, and the slope is towards the sponge copper collection ditch, so that the sponge copper naturally falls into the sponge copper collection ditch (10) after passing through the sieve hole of the filter sieve plate (4) after the displacement is completed.

[0023] S2, the copper-containing acid tailings backwater is introduced into the replacement reaction tank through the inlet pipe, and the copper-iron replacement reaction is carried out by submerging the waste steel material to generate sponge copper which naturally falls off and is collected to the sponge copper collection ditch through the filter screen plate. The tailings backwater contacts the bottom of the waste steel material through the screen hole of the filter screen plate, further increases the contact area of the waste steel material and the tailings backwater, and accelerates the replacement reaction rate. The tailings backwater is continuously introduced into the overflow pump tank after the liquid level is higher than the overflow weir, and is sent to the CCD washing as washing water through the overflow pump interface;
[0024] S3, the jet submersible pump is started, the generated sponge copper is accelerated to fall off by using the scouring and disturbance of water flow, the solution flow rate in the replacement reaction tank is increased, the copper-iron replacement reaction is accelerated, and the sponge copper is prevented from being coated on the surface of the waste steel material. According to the number, size and position of the waste steel material, the jet direction of the jet submersible pump is adjusted by using the universal slide rail, the jet water amount and water pressure are adjusted, and the surface of the waste steel material is disturbed and scoured to make the copper replacement fall off;
