The invention discloses a refined
selenium production process, and belongs to the technical field of
metallurgy. The method is characterized in that coarse
selenium powder is subjected to regulation and control oxidation, melting separation, alkaline leaching and acidification reduction to obtain a high-yield fine
selenium product. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the substance obtained by regulating and oxidizing the crude selenium by utilizing the
melting point difference of the substance is utilized, the substance containing the selenium element is melted into the melt to be enriched by controlling the temperature, the effective separation of
tellurium and selenium is realized, the substance containing the selenium element is leached by utilizing the alkaline solution of
sodium sulfite and
sodium hydroxide and is converted into the selenium-containing leaching solution, and the
tellurium and the selenium are enriched. The pH value of the solution is adjusted to 5-6 through
sulfuric acid, selenium is precipitated out, a refined
selenium product with the purity reaching 99.99% is obtained, and the
recovery rate of selenium exceeds 92%. The method is reasonable in design, few impurities are introduced in the process, the high
recovery rate is achieved while the selenium grade exceeds 99.9%, and the selenium
resource utilization rate is remarkably increased.
