The invention belongs to the technical field of non-
ferrous metal metallurgy, and discloses a method for purifying
arsenic trioxide and separating
antimony by a two-
step method, which comprises the following steps: adding coarse
arsenic trioxide into a first-section purification furnace, and carrying out high-temperature sublimation volatilization on the
arsenic trioxide to form a first-section arsenic-containing
flue gas so as to separate the arsenic-containing
flue gas from other impurities; the first-section arsenic-containing
flue gas enters a first-section gravity
settling chamber and is slowly cooled and settled to obtain an
arsenic trioxide product, and the
flue gas discharged from the first-section gravity
settling chamber passes through a first-section bag collector to obtain high-
antimony arsenic trioxide and
tail gas; high-
antimony arsenic trioxide is added into a second-section purification furnace, arsenic trioxide is sublimated at a high temperature to form second-section arsenic-containing
flue gas, separation of the second-section arsenic-containing
flue gas and antimony is achieved, and antimony is enriched into
slag to form antimony
slag; and the second-stage arsenic-containing flue gas enters a second-stage gravity
settling chamber, and is slowly cooled and settled to obtain an arsenic trioxide product. According to the method, a two-
step method is adopted, especially through a selective volatilization technology, the antimony material is separated from As2O3, antimony is enriched into
slag, and the loss of valuable
metal is reduced.
