Abstract

The invention discloses a method for electrolytically refining crude lead. The method comprises the following steps of: adding sodium hydroxide and tartaric acid into water in turn, and stirring to dissolve at normal temperature to obtain a mixed solution; adding lead oxide powder into the mixed solution, dissolving and filtering to obtain filtrate, namely electrolyte; and adding the prepared electrolyte into an electrolytic cell, and switching on direct current for electrolysis by taking a stainless steel plate or a pure lead plate as a cathode and crude lead to be refined as an anode. By the method, smoke and middle slag generated in pyro-refining are avoided, the direct recovery rate of lead and comprehensive recovery rate of valued metals in the refining process are improved, volatile smoke or acid mist cannot be generated, and a defect that electrolyte in a silicofluoric acid system pollutes environment is overcome; meanwhile, the sodium hydroxide and the tartaric acid are added into the electrolyte, so that the sodium hydroxide and the tartaric acid can form a complex with the lead oxide, the concentration of lead ions in the electrolyte is greatly increased and the electrolysis efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lead purification and refining, in particular to a method for electrolytically refining crude lead. Background technique [0002] In order to remove harmful impurities in crude lead and recover precious metals, it must be refined. There are two methods of refining crude lead: fire method and electrolysis method. The main steps of the pyro-refining process are: ① Copper removal: first smelt or condensate to remove copper, then add sulfur to remove copper in depth; ② add caustic soda to remove tellurium; ③ use oxidation or alkaline refining to remove arsenic, antimony, tin; ④ adding zinc to recover gold and silver; ⑤ removing zinc; ⑥ adding calcium and magnesium to remove bismuth; ⑦ finally refining ingots to obtain refined lead. The slag produced in each process is processed separately to recover valuable elements. Pyrorefining crude lead produces a considerable amount of lead (and other metals) smoke, various int...
