The invention relates to a high-efficiency enrichment and
recovery process for
indium in an
indium-containing acid solution, which comprises the following steps of: feeding an
indium-
tin-containing
raw material into a top-blown furnace for
smelting, and volatilizing most indium and entering a
dust collection system along with
smoke dust to obtain indium-containing top-blown furnace
smoke dust; carrying out centralized treatment on the indium-containing top-blown furnace
smoke dust in an electric furnace to obtain high-indium electric furnace smoke dust; then the high-indium electric furnace smoke dust is subjected to wet treatment, washing is conducted firstly, then
sulfuric acid is used for leaching, an acid solution rich in indium,
zinc,
cadmium and a small amount of
tin elements is obtained, and
tin is enriched and recycled in the form of acid leaching residues and returned for tin
smelting; neutralizing and precipitating the indium-containing acid solution with
ammonia water to obtain indium
precipitation slag and indium
precipitation liquid; washing the indium
precipitation residues with water to obtain washed indium residues and washing liquid, and
drying the washed indium residues to obtain indium-rich residues. According to the method, indium, tin and other high-value metals can be efficiently separated from the
zinc-
cadmium slag with low consumption, efficient enrichment and
recovery of indium and tin are achieved,
zinc and
cadmium are recovered in the form of zinc-cadmium
slag, and comprehensive
recovery and utilization of various valuable metals are achieved.
