The invention relates to a method for comprehensively recovering valuable elements from nonferrous
smelting waste acid, and belongs to the technical field of metallurgical
engineering. The method comprises the following steps: S1, pumping the waste acid into a first-stage reactor with the dissolved
oxygen concentration controlled to be 2 mg / L or below, and adding zero-valent
iron powder and
pyrrhotite to carry out a reduction reaction, so that pentavalent
arsenic in the waste acid is reduced into trivalent
arsenic; after the reaction, carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain
copper sulfide slag and reduced liquid containing trivalent
arsenic; s2, transferring the reduced liquid obtained in the step S1 to a second-stage reactor with an
aeration or ventilation function, and blowing air,
oxygen-enriched air or
oxygen into the reduced liquid to carry out oxidation reaction, so that trivalent arsenic is oxidized and forms iron
arsenate precipitate with iron ions; and after the reaction, carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain iron
arsenate slag and oxidized liquid. According to the method, high-selectivity and high-efficiency separation of
copper and arsenic is realized through a valence oscillation strategy of first reduction and then oxidation. The average
copper recovery rate is 98% or above, and the average arsenic removal rate is 99% or above.
