The application provides a method for preparing metallic
arsenic and
sulfur fixation by
calcium oxide assisted carbothermic reduction of
arsenic sulfide residue, comprising: providing a reaction container with a high-temperature zone and a low-temperature zone in communication; reacting
arsenic sulfide residue,
calcium oxide and a
carbon source in the high-temperature zone; the
molar ratio of the
calcium oxide to
arsenic sulfide in the
arsenic sulfide residue is not less than 2; the
molar ratio of carbon in the
carbon source to
arsenic sulfide in the arsenic
sulfide residue is not less than 2; the temperature of the high-temperature zone is 750-900 DEG C, the temperature of the low-temperature zone is 650-750 DEG C, and the temperature of the high-temperature zone is higher than that of the low-temperature zone; during the reaction, the generated metallic arsenic transfers to the low-temperature zone, and the generated
calcium sulfide stays in the high-temperature zone. The application recovers metallic arsenic and fixes
sulfur from arsenic sulfide residue through one-step
smelting, avoids the generation of
sulfur-containing gas, and improves the
recovery rate of the metallic
arsenic product.
