Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering precious metal from electronic waste. The method is simple in process, low in cost and capable of gathering the precious metal efficiently. The method includes the following steps: (1) preprocessed electronic waste, a trapping agent and a reducing agent are dried, smashed and mixed evenly; (2) the mixed materials are put in a graphite crucible and placed in a box-type resistance furnace or an electric-arc furnace, temperature rises, reduction is performed, gas is led in to perform protection, and water cooling is performed after reduction so as to enable the precious metal to enter alloys; (3) alloy phase containing the precious metal is immersed in base metal selectively to obtain precious metal enrichment; and (4) the precious metal enrichment is refined by using the hydrometallurgy technology to obtain platinum, palladium, rhodium products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering precious metals, in particular to a method for recovering precious metals from electronic waste. Background technique [0002] Precious metals, especially platinum group precious metals, have unique physical and chemical properties and are widely used in various fields such as military industry, petroleum, chemical industry, organic synthesis, microelectronics technology, exhaust gas purification, etc., and play an irreplaceable role in modern high-tech industries. effect. Among the platinum group precious metals, platinum and palladium are the most widely used, but the output is extremely low. According to statistics, the annual output in the world is less than 200 tons, and the annual output in my country is even less than 1 ton. For these precious metal ores, if they can reach the gram / ton level, they are rich ores and have industrial mining value. However, in some wastes containing precious metals,...
