The invention relates to a method for preparing
sodium selenite from crude
selenium recovered from
copper anode slime. The method comprises the following steps: S1, oxidizing: oxidizing the crude
selenium recovered from the
copper anode slime under the conditions that the temperature is 500-550 DEG C and the
oxygen flow is 0.9-1.0 L / min; after the
selenium is completely burnt, stopping heating, continuing to introduce O2, and then cooling to
room temperature in air to obtain an oxidation product SeO2; s2, separation and purification: fully dissolving the oxidation product SeO2 with deionized water, filtering, heating, evaporating and crystallizing, condensing, re-dissolving, boiling and cooling to obtain a
seleninic acid solution; s3,
neutralization and
crystallization: adding a NaOH solution into the
seleninic acid solution for reaction, and performing
vacuum drying, standing, cooling and
crystallization to obtain crystalline
sodium selenite; and S4, heating and dehydrating: heating and dehydrating the crystallized
sodium selenite to obtain an
anhydrous sodium selenite product. The process is simple in production process, stable and reliable in quality, low in cost and high in economic benefit.
