The invention provides a process of recovering 
copper smelting waste acid and white 
smoke dusts. The process comprises the following steps: removing suspended particulate matters in the waste acid, regulating the acidity and the 
redox potential of the liquid, and enabling ions including 
molybdenum ions in the liquid to exist in a high positive 
ion mode; then selectively adsorbing 
rhenium by utilizing 
ion exchange resin, after adsorption is saturated, carrying out 
desorption to obtain a rhenate liquid, and carrying out concentration and 
crystallization to obtain rhenate; using the waste acid after adsorbing the 
rhenium for leaching the white 
smoke dusts; treating the white 
smoke dusts by adopting two segments of countercurrent acid leaching-
chloride leaching process, recovering valuable metals including 
copper, 
zinc and 
cadmium of an acid leaching liquid, carrying out harmless treatment on harmful elements including 
arsenic by virtue of a molysite method, recovering valuable metals including 
bismuth of a 
chloride leaching liquid, and selling 
lead sulfate, serving as a main component of 
chloride leaching residues, to a 
lead smelting plant. According to the process provided by the invention, the 
rhenium in the waste acid can be efficiently separated and recovered, the leaching white smoke dusts of the waste acid can be fully utilized, and the waste acid and white smoke dust leaching liquids can be comprehensively treated by utilizing a set of 
copper recovering and 
arsenic harmless 
treatment system, so that the process matching ability is good, the comprehensive 
recovery rate of the valuable metals is high, the waste 
water treatment effect is good, the investment is little, the production cost is low, and the economical benefit is good.
