The invention discloses a method for extracting
indium-
zinc alloy from waste Hg-free alkaline
zinc manganese dioxide battery, which comprises separating and extracting
cathode substances from waste Hg-free alkaline
zinc manganese dioxide battery, dissolving with a coordination agent containing zinc ions, electrolyzing the filtrate to obtain zinc, and
smelting the insoluble substances to obtain
indium-zinc
alloy. Based on the existing state of
indium in waste Hg-free alkaline zinc
manganese dioxide battery and the practical
recovery of waste Hg-free alkaline zinc manganese dioxide battery, the invention realizes the indium
recovery and has the advantages of simple process, easy application, high and stable
recovery rate of indium, less use of chemical additives in the recovery process, and no secondary
pollution. The recycled indium-zinc
alloy (indium content of 0.1-99.9 percent) can be used as a
raw material of
cathode material (indium-containing zinc
powder) in the production of Hg-free alkaline manganese battery. The invention realizes the cyclic regeneration of
cathode material of waste alkaline zinc manganese dioxide battery, and the industrial output value of the extract is far larger than the recovery and production costs, therefore, the invention is better in economic benefit and high environment-protection value.
