Abstract

The invention provides an electrolytic method of polymetallic raw copper. The method takes raw copper as an anode, a copper plate or stainless steel as a cathode and carries out electrolysis under the process conditions as follows: (1) the electrolytic solution contains 10g / l to 30g / l of nitric acid, 15g / l to 180g / l of cupric nitrate and the residual quantity of water, which form a cupric nitrate- nitric acid system which keeps the components of the electrolytic solution in the concentration range of the system during the electrolytic process; (2) salt chloride is added into the electrolytic solution and during the electrolytic process, the concentration of the chloride ion is kept between 1 to 10g / l; and (3) cathode current density 100A / m<2> to 300A / m<2>. During the electrolytic process, the method can loosen the anode sludge to cause the anode sludge to fall off automatically, thus overcoming the anodic passivity and the electrolytic process can be conducted smoothly. The method also has the advantages of lowering the cost for separating copper and other metal, shortening the production cycle and reducing environment pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for directly electrolyzing blister copper containing various metals such as gold, silver, lead, antimony and bismuth to separate copper from other various metals. Background technique [0002] The traditional electrolysis method of copper is: use blister copper (containing more than 99.5% copper) as the anode, use copper sheet as the cathode, use copper sulfate-sulfuric acid as the electrolyte, electrolyze under the action of direct current, and the cathode produces cathode copper as Impurities such as gold, silver, lead, antimony, bismuth, etc. sink to the bottom of the pool in the form of anode slime and are then recycled. [0003] If the blister copper containing multiple metals is electrolyzed by the above method, the anode will be extremely passivated during electrolysis due to the high content of impurity elements, and the electrolysis cannot be carried out. Therefore, there are currently two main methods for th...
