The invention discloses an electrolytic refining method for lead
bullion in the field of non-
ferrous metallurgy. The electrolytic refining method comprises the following steps that the lead
bullion is pretreated for standby application; the modified material takes a
titanium-based porous skeleton as a substrate, a composite layer is formed through oxidation impregnation of a multi-walled
carbon nanotube, then a
rare earth doped
lead dioxide active layer is electrically deposited, and the
conductivity and
impurity adsorption are enhanced. Loading the modified material on a pure lead substrate through
hot pressing to prepare a composite
anode, taking a pure
lead sheet as a
cathode, and placing the composite
anode and the
cathode in a
polypropylene electrolytic bath with the distance between the
cathode and the
anode being 1.9-2.1 cm; the
initial current density is controlled to be 220-260 A / m < 2 >, the
cell voltage is controlled to be 1.8-2.2 V,
electrolysis is conducted for 24-30 hours till the anode
scrap is smaller than or equal to 1 cm, the lead
ion concentration is monitored during
electrolysis, the dissolving solution is supplemented, and
shunting is conducted when impurities exceed the standard. After
electrolysis, a cathode is washed and stripped to obtain 1.2-1.5 mm lead sheets, the lead sheets are cast into ingots, and anode mud and anode scraps are recycled. The method inhibits anode mud, is low in
cell voltage, and prolongs the anode life.
