The invention discloses a method for recycling
copper by-product
polyaluminum chloride from an acidic CuC12 waste
etching solution. The method is characterized in that a material containing
metal aluminum is directly added into the acidic CuC12 waste
etching solution to be substituted for
copper in the solution; or, free
hydrochloric acid in the acidic CuC12 waste
etching solution is heated and evaporated at first, then, a material containing
metal aluminum is added to be substituted for
copper in the solution,
filtration is carried out, and copper
powder or copper
sponge and a cementation leaching solution are obtained. The obtained copper
powder is washed, dried and sold. The obtained copper
sponge is washed and electrolytically refined, and
cathode copper is obtained; alkaline matter is added into the obtained cementation leaching solution; and
evaporation and concentration are carried out after the pH value is adjusted, a
polyaluminum chloride product is obtained, the copper and
chlorine in the acidic CuC12 waste etching solution are sufficiently utilized, and
zero emission in the copper separation and
recovery technological process is achieved. The method has the advantages of being simple in technology, low in comprehensive
recovery cost, good in economic benefit and the like.
