The invention discloses a wet process refining technology for purifying selenium. The wet process refining technology for purifying selenium mainly comprises the steps that firstly, NaOH is added into alloy blowing tower absorption liquid to remove part of base metal, and activated carbon is used for adsorption, filtering and purification; secondly, thiourea and HCI are sequentially used for deep impurity reduction, and a pure selenous acid solution is obtained through filtering; thirdly, sulfur dioxide is used for reduction, and fine selenium powder with high purity is obtained. As a single wet process refining technology, compared with a traditional technology, the wet process refining technology for purifying selenium has the advantages of being short in process, easy to implement, low in labor intensity, small in energy consumption, low in production cost, short in production cycle, good in operation environment, free of generation of middle overstock materials and the like; the tower absorption liquid obtained through alloy blowing absorption is subjected to three times of purification, impurity removing and filtering, and the fine selenium powder with the grade up to 99.1% can be obtained as long as sulfur dioxide is introduced for reduction, the direct yield is increased to 83.5% from original 79.8%, the production cycle is shortened to 3 d from original 7 d, the processing cost can be reduced to 13 yuan / kg, and good popularization value and economic benefits are achieved.
