The invention discloses a method for recycling and utilizing a
precious metal in an IrOsRu ore, which comprises the following process steps: 1) blending and shredding raw materials: mixing and shredding IrOsRu ore,
zinc and aluminum to form raw materials; 2) performing acid leaching to remove
zinc and aluminum; 3) performing alkali
dissolution and water leaching: melting the filter residue with asolid base, and performing water leaching; 4) performing oxidative
distillation to remove cesium: adding
nitric acid to produce and absorb
osmium tetroxide vapor; 5) performing
recovery of
ruthenium:adding
sodium chlorate to produce and recycle
osmium tetroxide vapor, performing concentration and
crystallization by rotary
evaporation to obtain
ruthenium trichloride; and 6) performing purificationof hydrazine, concentration of filtrate, etc., to obtain
ammonium chloroiridate
precipitation, and then filtering and
drying the
precipitation. According to the method for recycling and utilizing
precious metal in IrOsRu ore, the IrOsRu ore,
zinc and aluminum are shredded at high temperature in an
intermediate frequency furnace to avoid the problems of high loss and difficult
filtration caused bythe use of zinc or aluminum alone. The
intermediate frequency furnace is provided with mixing, so the heating is fast, the efficiency is high and the energy is saved. Toxic gases are not used, so thesafety is high. The
recovery rate is improved through recycling and multiple
filtration. Other
metal resources can be recycled again to avoid waste.
