The invention relates to the technical field of
precious metal metallurgy, in particular to a method for removing
precious metal impurities in
iridium-containing feed liquid, which comprises the following steps: S1, oxidizing
aqua regia: oxidizing and removing organic matters in the
iridium-containing feed liquid by using a strong oxidant; s2,
hydrolysis: in the process of oxygenolysis of organic matters by
aqua regia, a small amount of organic matters are not decomposed, meanwhile, a large amount of soluble salts exist in the
iridium waste liquid, and residual organic matters and most of the soluble salts are removed through
hydrolysis; s3, oxidizing and precipitating iridium; s4, hydrazine
hydrate reduction
dissolution; s5,
ammonium sulfide purification; s6, calcining and
hydrogen reduction; organic matters are oxidized and damaged by
aqua regia according to the special properties of materials, transformation of a solution medium is achieved, the problem that iridium is difficult to dissolve is avoided, chloroiridic acid is directly calcined to produce the iridium
powder in the production process of the iridium
powder, dispersion and loss of iridium are reduced, precious and base metals are ingeniously removed by using the characteristic that
ammonium chloride is used for precipitating iridium after a sub-oxidant is added, and the production cost is reduced. The purity of the prepared iridium
powder is good, and the
recovery rate reaches up to 99.95%.
