Problems solved by technology

But zinc pyrometallurgy crucible slag usually contains germanium, after sulfuration roasting, the leaching rate of germanium is only 30-50%, which is unfavorable for the recovery of germanium; Most of it turns into ferric iron after roasting, which is not conducive to the leaching and separation of indium germanium
In addition, the above two pretreatment methods will melt out part of the lead water, disperse the indium and germanium, increase the recovery process and cost, and reduce the low recovery rate.

Abstract

The invention relates to a non-ferrous metal metallurgy and comprehensive recovery technology, in particular to a method for extracting indium and germanium from pyrometallurgical crucible residues by a whole-wet method, belonging to the technical field of non-ferrous metal metallurgy. The method comprises the following steps: grinding and sieving the crucible residues, and then leaching the indium by dilute sulphuric acid with the density of 0.5-1.0M according to the mass ratio of liquid to solid of 5-3:1; adding MnO2 the weight of which is 0.8-1.5 times of that of the dilute sulphuric acid to dilute sulphuric acid-leaching residues, and then leaching germanium by utilizing sulfuric acid with the density of 2-3M according to the ratio of liquid to solid of 5-3:1 in an oxidation manner; leaching the remaining indium and germanium from the oxidation-leaching residues by adopting a C1-1 solution with the density of 4-8wt% in a chlorination manner, keeping the ratio of liquid to solid be 5:1, meanwhile controlling the acidity be 60-80g / L with sulfuric acid; and recovering the leached indium in each segment by an extraction method, precipitating the leached germanium with tannin, and finally calcining to obtain germanium concentrate. The method has less environmental pollution; most part of germanium and indium can be respectively recovered in a leaching manner, wherein the indium can be recovered as well as the germanium; and higher recovery rate can be maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a comprehensive recovery technology for nonferrous metal smelting, in particular to a method for extracting indium and germanium from pyrometallurgy crucible slag by using a full wet method, and belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal smelting. technical background [0002] Since the zinc calcine used in pyrometallurgy contains scattered metal indium and germanium, it will be enriched in hard zinc during the zinc distillation process, and will be enriched in the crucible slag during the treatment of hard zinc. , the metal indium content is 0.10-2.0%, and the germanium content is between 0.30-2.0%. Indium and germanium are high-value scattered metals. It has high economic recovery value. [0003] If the general crucible slag contains only indium, it can be pretreated by sulfuration and roasting in the prior art, and then wet leached, so that the indium can have a higher leaching rate. But zinc pyrometallurgy crucib...
