The invention discloses a method for separating and recovering
selenium and mercury from acid mud containing
selenium and mercury. The method comprises the following steps: mixing the acid mud containing
selenium and mercury with water, performing wet ball milling, filtering and
drying to obtain a ball milling material; adding a
hydrogen peroxide solution into the ball-milled material, adding
hydrochloric acid to adjust the acidity, carrying out oxidation acid leaching, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain selenium-containing mercury liquid and selenium-removed mercury
slag; adding
thiourea into the selenium-containing mercury liquid for
selective reduction, and performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain crude selenium and reduction liquid;
zinc powder is added into the reduction liquid for mercury replacement and
precipitation, and crude mercury and
precipitation liquid are obtained after
solid-liquid separation; wherein the selenium-removed mercury
slag and the
precipitation solution are subjected to centralized treatment. The method is simple in process, convenient to operate and easy to process, selenium and mercury in the acid mud containing selenium and mercury can be removed at a time, efficient separation and
recovery of selenium and mercury in the acid mud containing selenium and mercury are achieved, harmless treatment of
hazardous waste and effective utilization of resources are achieved, and the method conforms to the concept of green
sustainable development.
