The invention discloses a method for recycling lead from waste lead-acid storage battery lead plaster through
electrolysis, and belongs to the technical field of
solid waste treatment and recycling. The method for recycling lead through
electrolysis of the waste lead-acid storage battery lead plaster comprises the following steps that the waste lead-acid storage battery lead plaster, an additional lead source containing
metal lead and an acetate solution are mixed and leached, a
lead acetate leaching solution is obtained, then the
lead acetate leaching solution serves as an
electrolyte for
electrolysis, and a
metal lead product is obtained. According to the method, the lead-containing
electrolyte can be obtained through one-step leaching, and the
electrolyte is neutral, so that the
corrosion of strong acid and strong alkali is avoided. According to the technical method provided by the invention, the
metal lead with high purity and low
impurity content can be obtained. In the electrolysis step, the electrolysis
energy consumption is not higher than 600 kwh / t lead, the current efficiency is higher than 97%, and the lead
recovery rate reaches 99% or above.
