The invention provides a process for extracting high-purity
copper from iron, and relates to the technical field of
metal material purification, and the process comprises the following steps: S1, preparing raw materials, S2, dissolving, adding concentrated
sulfuric acid into a reaction container, and heating to 10-35 DEG C, S3, replacing
iron powder, heating the solution to 60-80 DEG C, adding reduced
iron powder with a preset proportion into the solution, and carrying out heat preservation for 2-3 hours; in the process, a catalyst, natural
copper powder and
hydrogen peroxide are sequentially added at the same time and stirred, then a
mixed solution is formed, and the
mixed solution is subjected to standing for 1-3 h at the
room temperature; s4, filtering and separating, S5, medium-frequency
smelting and S6,
vacuum distillation,
copper ingots obtained after medium-frequency
smelting are put into a
vacuum distillation furnace, the temperature ranges from 1600 DEG C to 1800 DEG C, the vacuum degree ranges from 10 <-3 > Pa to 10 <-5 > Pa, the
distillation time ranges from 2 h to 4 h, and the ultra-high-purity copper ingots are obtained; according to the method, the ultra-high-purity copper
ingot with the purity as high as 99.994824% can be obtained, and compared with a traditional copper purification process, the cost input is low, and remarkable
economic benefits are brought to enterprises.
