According to the method for reducing the lead content of the
zinc hydrometallurgy electrolytic
zinc, when an electrolytic bath is used for electrolytic deposition of
zinc, the method comprises the following steps that (1) a lead-silver
anode plate is arranged in an
anode plate protection groove, and the lead-silver
anode plate and a
cathode aluminum plate are arranged in the electrolytic bath together; the connecting line direction of the filter cloth in each anode plate protection groove is perpendicular to the flowing direction of the
electrolyte; (2) adding the purified zinc
sulfate solution into the electrodeposition waste liquid, adding from one end of an electrolytic bath, and flowing out from the other end of the electrolytic bath; (3) introducing
direct current; (4) after a single electrodeposition period is finished, taking out the
cathode plate, stripping the zinc sheet, brushing the
cathode aluminum plate to be smooth, and reloading the cathode aluminum plate into the
electrolytic cell after the cathode aluminum plate is clean; and the anode and the anode plate protection groove are taken out every 10-30 days, and anode mud is cleaned. According to the method, insoluble lead-containing anode mud is physically isolated from entering a cathode region, and meanwhile, the arrangement of a filter cloth connecting line is controlled to be perpendicular to the flowing direction of
electrolyte, so that the problem that the lead content of a zinc sheet is relatively high due to the fact that the anode mud enters the cathode region can be effectively solved.
