The invention belongs to the technical field of
tellurium recovery, and discloses a method for recovering
tellurium dioxide from
tellurium electrolysis anode slime, which comprises the following steps: step 1, carrying out
acid dissolution treatment on the tellurium
electrolysis anode slime to completely dissolve
sodium tellurate to obtain a solution A; step 2, adding alkali liquor into the solution A to enable the pH value of the
system to be 1.5-2.5, completely reacting to obtain a solution B, and continuously stirring in the process; 3,
sodium sulfite is added into the solution B, the
system potential is controlled to range from-50 mV to-80 mV,
solid-liquid separation is conducted after the reaction is completed, and
tellurium dioxide is obtained. According to the method for recovering the
tellurium dioxide from the tellurium
electrolysis anode slime, the tellurium element in the tellurium electrolysis anode slime is dissolved through the acid liquor, then the pH value of the
system is adjusted to a specific range through the alkali liquor, then the
sodium sulfite is added for reacting to obtain the
tellurium dioxide, and the method has the advantages of being high in tellurium
recovery rate and good in safety.
