A method for comprehensively treating
indium-containing lead
anode slime through the whole wet process relates to adoption of the whole wet extraction technology for extracting valuable metals such as
indium, silver, lead,
copper and
bismuth, and belongs to the technical field of non-
ferrous metal metallurgy. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a
chloride solution into
anode slime, leaching for the first time at the temperature higher than 80 DEG C, and controlling the final pH value within 2.5-3.0; (2) neutralizing the first leaching solution until the pH value reaches 4.8-5.1, precipitating, then adding
sulfuric acid into dregs for
dissolution, and extracting to obtain crude
indium; (3) oxidizing and chloridizing the neutralized solution of precipitated indium, then leaching the first leached dregs for the second time, and controlling the final acidity within 45-30g / L; (4) the secondary leached dregs are leached at the temperature higher than 90 DEG C, neutralizing the leaching solution for lead
precipitation, oxidation leaching the leached dregs, adding
ammonia water for leaching, and reducing the
ammonia leaching solution by hydrazine
hydrate, thereby obtaining silver
sponge; and (5) reduction replacing the secondary leaching solution to obtain the valuable metals. The method is low in cost, has higher
extraction ratio for the valuable metals, can be used for easily separating the valuable metals, is free from waste liquor and waste residues, and has better
economic benefits.
