Abstract

The invention provides a process for electrolyzing and refining lead, zinc and copper through a wet method. The process includes the specific steps that an alkalescent complexing solution with high complexing capacity is selected as a leaching solution and all valuable metals are leached out; impurities of the leaching solution are removed through a metal replacement mode; deposited lead or deposited zinc or deposited copper and oxygen are obtained through an electrolytic method; then the solution is subjected to desulfuration and desilicication through calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide; and finally, the lead or the zinc or the copper is obtained after being refined. The alkalescent complexing solution is adopted for leaching and electrolyzing, so that the problems that the leaching rate is low and metal silicates and ferrates are hard to dissolve in terms of current metal smelting with the wet method are solved. Compounds of calcium or barium are adopted for desulfuration of metal sulfates, so that the problem of high desulfuration cost caused by current desulfuration through sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide is solved. The potential of hydrogen (pH) value of the alkalescent complexing solution is controlled to be 7.5-13.5, the electrolytic voltage is substantially lowered, and the energy consumption is effectively reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metal electrolysis, in particular to a method for wet electrolysis of metal. Background technique [0002] In 2013, China produced 4.47 million tons of lead, 5.3 million tons of zinc, and 6.83 million tons of copper, ranking 2-4 in the world's non-ferrous metal output. Copper, lead, and zinc are associated metals. Lead, copper, and zinc ores generally contain copper, lead, and zinc, but the content is different. Copper, lead, and zinc ores mainly contain copper, lead, and zinc, with associated cadmium and silver. , Indium, cobalt, gallium, germanium, tin, antimony, bismuth, arsenic, silicon, aluminum, calcium and other elements. Waste lead-acid batteries also contain a small amount of impurity metals, including copper, silver, cadmium, tin, antimony, bismuth, arsenic, etc., and their elemental composition is similar to that of ore. Lead, zinc, and copper are important industrial metals, which are widely used in life, ...
