The invention discloses a process for recovering
copper and aluminum from a
flue gas CO removal catalyst waste agent, and belongs to the technical field of industrial
catalysis. Aiming at a
flue gas CO removal catalyst of a
copper-based aluminum carrier commonly used in industrial
flue gas, the invention provides a method for recovering
copper and aluminum from a CO removal catalyst waste agent, and the method mainly comprises the specific steps of pretreatment of the
flue gas CO removal catalyst waste agent,
sodium salt
roasting treatment, alkaline leaching treatment,
precipitation treatment and replacement treatment.
After treatment, aluminum
oxide and
copper oxide can be respectively obtained, and can be used for preparing a new agent of a CO removal catalyst. According to the
recovery process, dry and wet combination is adopted, aluminum and copper in the waste agent are subjected to alkaline leaching at the same time through a one-
step method, then the copper and the aluminum are recovered step by step through pH adjustment, auxiliary
precipitation and a replacement reaction, and the comprehensive
recovery rate of aluminum
oxide of the waste agent exceeds 95% and can reach 98.5% to the maximum; the comprehensive
recovery rate of
copper oxide exceeds 90%, and the highest recovery rate can reach 99.3%. According to the process, the recovery selectivity and the recovery efficiency of the
flue gas CO removal catalyst waste agent are improved, and the emission of three wastes in the recovery process is also reduced.
