95 results about "Electrowinning" patented technology

Electrowinning, also called electroextraction, is the electrodeposition of metals from their ores that have been put in solution via a process commonly referred to as leaching. Electrorefining uses a similar process to remove impurities from a metal. Both processes use electroplating on a large scale and are important techniques for the economical and straightforward purification of non-ferrous metals. The resulting metals are said to be electrowon.

A method for preferentially extracting antimony from a lead-antimony co-associated ore

The application discloses a method for preferentially extracting antimony from lead-antimony co-associated ores, comprising the following steps: mixing lead-antimony co-associated ore materials with sulfides and alkali according to certain proportions to obtain mixed materials; low-temperature roasting the mixed materials to obtain roasted materials; water leaching and solid-liquid separation treatment of the roasted materials to obtain water leaching solution; configuring the water leaching solution into an electrodeposition solution; and electrolytic deposition treatment of the electrodeposition solution to obtain antimony on a cathode. The low-temperature roasting-water leaching-electrodeposition process can realize preferential extraction of antimony and efficient separation of lead and antimony. Lead is enriched in the water leaching residue, which is helpful for subsequent extraction and smelting of lead, and avoids the industry common problem that lead-antimony intermediate alloy is difficult to separate in the traditional process. In the application, sulfides of antimony fully react with sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide in the roasting process, and the reaction rate is faster than that in water solution leaching. Not only the reaction time is shortened, but also the consumption of sodium sulfide is significantly lower than the amount required in conventional alkaline hydrometallurgy of antimony.
