This invention discloses a method for extracting
tellurium from acid leaching solutions of
copper anode mud based on a
disproportionation reaction, belonging to the field of hydrometallurgical technology. The method involves preheating the acidic leaching solution of
copper anode mud; under stirring conditions, elemental
tellurium is added to the hot leaching solution, wherein the elemental
tellurium reacts with Te in the leaching solution. 6+ The
molar ratio of tellurium to impurities is 1.0–1.5:1; the
reaction temperature is maintained at 70–95 °C, and the reaction is stirred for 2–6 hours; after the reaction is completed, separation and
impurity removal are performed to obtain tellurium product. This method, from the submergence
precipitation reaction to the washing end, forms a short-process self-purification separation path that does not require full-process deacidification, external heterogeneous reducing agents, and a
single product morphology. Under the selected
process conditions, efficient separation and directional transformation of tellurium and impurities are achieved, with a direct tellurium
recovery rate of over 95%, resulting in significant
economic benefits and great significance for the efficient and large-scale extraction of tellurium resources.
