The application relates to the technical field of
metal recovery, and particularly relates to a yellow
slag short-process treatment method. The method comprises the following steps: S1, crushing and screening yellow
slag to obtain fine particle components and
coarse particle components; S2, mixing the fine particle components with concentrated
sulfuric acid and performing
roasting treatment to obtain first
roasting materials; S3, mixing the first
roasting materials with dilute
sulfuric acid and performing leaching reaction, and then performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain first leaching residues and first leaching solution; and S4, mixing the first leaching solution with the
coarse particle components and performing reduction displacement reaction, and then performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain
copper-rich residues and second leaching solution, wherein the
copper-rich residues are returned to a
copper smelting system, and the second leaching solution is concentrated to obtain an iron-containing byproduct. The scheme provided by the application realizes efficient enrichment of copper through a
coupling process of a fire method and a wet method, the obtained copper-rich residues can be sent to an existing copper converter
smelting system for subsequent disposal, and the scheme has the advantages of strong process compatibility and low operation cost.
