The invention provides a process for recycling
copper through electrodeposition by treating
scrap copper materials by adopting a
cyclone electrolysis technology, belonging to the technical field of recycling
copper from wastes containing copper. The process is characterized by taking various purchased wastes containing copper as raw materials, preliminarily screening and
grinding the wastes, adding the materials to a dissolved
copper leaching bath device to undergo continuous copper dissolving to obtain a
copper sulfate solution, then filtering the solution with precision filter equipment, decoppering the obtained filtrate through
cyclone electrolysis,
scalding an obtained copper
pipe with weak acid and then feeding the copper
pipe into a
product processing unit to process a standard copper plate. The process has the following beneficial effects: through portable or module
assembly, the
cyclone electrolysis bath and support equipment are convenient to install, dismantle and move; the solution circulates in a
closed loop, thus avoiding emission of harmful gases; electrolytic deposition is carried out on the metals selectively and the copper can be better purified by applying the cyclone electrolysis technology; higher
current density and current efficiency are ensured, fewer reagents are consumed, the production cost is lowered and the enterprise revenue is improved; and high efficiency and high purity electrolytic extraction is carried out on the solution, the recycled copper is the standard
cathode copper and the total recycling rate is above 96%.
