Description
A method for recovering tin fumes from lead ore refining waste Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lead ore refining waste recycling technology, specifically relating to a method for recovering tin and indium from lead ore refining waste. Background Technology
[0002] Lead ore refining is a complex chemical and physical process aimed at extracting pure lead metal from lead ore. Pyrometallurgical refining is one of the common methods for lead ore refining. It involves blowing air or oxygen into molten crude lead, or adding an oxidizing agent, to oxidize impurity metals and form oxide slag. Due to differences in density and chemical reaction, the oxide slag and other impurities form a slag layer. This slag layer either floats on the surface of the molten lead (forming scum) or sinks to the bottom (forming bottom slag). The scum and bottom slag are then separated from the molten lead by mechanical skimming or by draining the molten lead, resulting in high-purity molten lead. The separated scum and bottom slag form refining waste. The resulting refining waste also contains oxides and silicates of metals such as iron, copper, tin, antimony, arsenic, and silver, as well as sulfides of lead and other metals and precious metals. China is the world's largest producer of lead concentrate, accounting for approximately 43.7% of global production. Therefore, recycling this refining waste not only contributes to resource conservation and environmental protection but also creates economic benefits. However, the commonly used methods such as pyrometallurgical recovery, hydrometallurgical recovery, and thermal treatment-magnetic separation recovery are not very efficient at recovering tin and indium from refining waste, which is not conducive to the large-scale treatment of lead ore refining waste. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention discloses a method for recovering tin and indium from lead ore refining waste, which improves the recovery efficiency of tin and indium elements in the refining waste and is beneficial for the recycling and utilization of lead ore refining waste.
[0004] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution:
[0005] A method for recovering tin and indium from lead ore refining waste includes the following steps:
[0006] (1) Take lead ore refining waste residue, add limestone and crushed coal and mix evenly, then send it into a side-blown furnace. Then, oxygen-enriched air with an oxygen content of 50% is introduced and heated to 600-700℃ for smelting for 1-2 hours to obtain crude lead liquid and slag. After casting the crude lead liquid into ingots, it is sent to the electrolysis process for refining. At the same time, the slag is collected and rapidly cooled. The side-blown furnace uses oxygen-enriched side-blowing for smelting, which can reduce the amount of flue gas during the smelting process.
[0007] (2) Take the slag that has been rapidly cooled in step (1), add sulfuric acid solution and sodium dodecyl sulfate, mix them evenly, and then send them to a grinder for grinding to obtain slag powder. The weight ratio of the slag, sulfuric acid solution and sodium dodecyl sulfate is 100:(2~3):(1~2).
[0008] (3) Take the slag powder obtained in step (2), add acid solution to mix and obtain slurry for acid leaching. The liquid-solid ratio of the acid solution and slag powder is (10-15) L:1kg. The acid solution is a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 50-100g / L. The acid leaching pressure is 0.5-1.0MPa, the acid leaching temperature is 60-80℃, the pH value of the slurry is controlled at 1.5-2.0 during acid leaching, and the acid leaching time is 1-3h. After acid leaching, filter to separate filtrate A and filter residue B. Dry and crush filter residue B and then smelt and recover crude tin.
[0009] (4) Take the filtrate A from step (3) and add sodium sulfite and stir for 10-20 min. Then add calcium carbonate to adjust the pH of filtrate A to 4.5-5.5 and stir for 45-60 min. Filter to obtain filtrate C and filter residue D. Take the filter residue D and add the acid solution mentioned in step (3) to mix until the pH of the solution is 1.5-2.0. Continue stirring for 10-30 min and filter to obtain filtrate E. Take the filtrate E and add zinc powder to replace and recover crude indium. At the same time, collect the liquid phase after replacement to obtain the replacement liquid.
[0010] (5) Take the filtrate C obtained in step (4) and the replacement liquid, mix them evenly, and use them to prepare zinc sulfate.
[0011] As a further technical solution, in step (1) above, the weight ratio of lead ore refining waste residue, limestone and crushed coal is 100:(5-10):(20-30). By adjusting the ratio of lead ore refining waste residue, limestone and crushed coal, the smelting effect is improved, ensuring that the metal is fully melted, which is conducive to the separation of lead from other metals, and can also improve the fluidity of slag and improve the slag-forming effect.
[0012] As a further technical solution, in step (1) above, the slag is rapidly cooled at a rate of 10-20°C / min. Rapid cooling destroys the internal structure of the slag, which helps to grind and crush the slag and facilitates the leaching of metals such as tin and indium during the subsequent acid leaching process.
[0013] As a further technical solution, in step (2) above, the concentration of the sulfuric acid solution is 10-20%.
[0014] As a further technical solution, in step (2) above, the particle size of the slag powder is 80-100 mesh. Grinding the slag to 80-100 mesh can help the leaching of metals such as tin and indium in the subsequent acid leaching process and improve the leaching efficiency.
[0015] As a further technical solution, in step (3) above, potassium permanganate is added to the slurry during acid leaching, and the amount of potassium permanganate added is 1 to 3% of the weight of the slurry. Adding potassium permanganate can oxidize the existing elemental tin and form a precipitate that enters the slag, thereby improving the tin recovery rate.
[0016] As a further technical solution, in step (3) above, the slurry is stirred at a speed of 200-300 r / min during acid leaching. By controlling the stirring speed, the slag powder and acid solution can be fully contacted, thereby improving the metal leaching efficiency.
[0017] As a further technical solution, in step (4) above, filtrate A from step (3) is added to sodium sulfite and stirred for 10-20 minutes at a speed of 50-80 r / min. Adding sodium sulfite can reduce the residual ferric iron in filtrate A to ferrous iron, and after adding calcium carbonate to neutralize and adjust the pH value, indium can precipitate out before ferrous iron, thereby avoiding the influence of iron on indium precipitation and improving the indium recovery efficiency.
[0018] As a further technical solution, in step (5) above, the filtrate C obtained in step (4) and the replacement liquid are mixed evenly to obtain a mixed solution. Potassium permanganate is added to the mixed solution and the pH value of the mixed solution is controlled to be 5.0 to 5.5. After stirring for 20 to 30 minutes, zinc powder is added and reacted for 10 to 15 minutes. During the reaction process, the pH value is controlled to be 5.0 to 5.5. After the reaction is completed, the solution is filtered. The filtered liquid phase is concentrated by evaporation, crystallization, drying and pulverization to prepare zinc sulfate.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution has the following advantages:
[0020] 1. This invention employs a combination of pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes to treat lead ore refining waste, thereby achieving the goal of fully recovering tin and indium from the waste. First, pyrometallurgical smelting separates the high-content lead from the waste and enriches tin and indium in the slag. Then, the slag is crushed and acid-leached. By controlling the temperature, pressure, pH value, and other conditions of acid leaching, the leaching of metallic indium is promoted, while tin is also enriched in the acid-leached slag, thus achieving the effect of tin recovery. Then, calcium carbonate is added to the indium-containing leachate to adjust the pH value, causing indium to precipitate. The indium-containing precipitate is then subjected to a second acid leaching, followed by the addition of zinc powder for replacement. This not only effectively recovers indium but also improves the purity of indium.
[0021] 2. The method of the present invention is simple in process and easy to operate. It can effectively recover metals such as lead, zinc, tin and indium from lead ore refining waste, realize resource conservation and harmless treatment of waste, and help protect the environment and reduce pollution.
