The invention belongs to the field of
rhodium recovery, and particularly discloses a method for recovering
rhodium from
rhodium-containing waste liquid. The method comprises the following steps of concentrating the rhodium-containing waste liquid to evaporate light components, mixing wood chips, carrying out primary
incineration on the rhodium-containing waste liquid concentrated solution to obtain rhodium-containing carbon residues, and carrying out acid
pickling and
water washing; carrying out secondary
incineration on the rhodium-containing carbon residues to obtain rhodium-containing ash residues, and carrying out acid
pickling,
water washing, alkali washing and
water washing to completely remove acid-soluble and alkali-soluble impurities; in the primary
incineration and secondary incineration processes, enabling
flue gas to pass through a wet
dust collector and a
cyclone dust collector, collecting dust in the
flue gas, avoiding direct emission of the
flue gas to pollute the environment, and reducing rhodium loss in the incineration process; and combining the dust with incineration residues, reacting with
alkali metal acid
sulfate to generate soluble
rhodium salt, and reactingthe soluble
rhodium salt with active
metal to obtain rhodium. According to the process, the rhodium loss in the incineration process can be reduced, the rhodium yield can be improved, impurities in the rhodium-containing ash residues can be removed, the rhodium enrichment degree is higher, and the
recovery process is simplified.
