The invention discloses a wet process refining technology for purifying
selenium. The wet process refining technology for purifying
selenium mainly comprises the steps that firstly, NaOH is added into
alloy blowing
tower absorption liquid to remove part of
base metal, and
activated carbon is used for adsorption, filtering and purification; secondly,
thiourea and HCI are sequentially used for deep
impurity reduction, and a pure
selenous acid solution is obtained through filtering; thirdly,
sulfur dioxide is used for reduction, and fine
selenium powder with high purity is obtained. As a single wet process refining technology, compared with a traditional technology, the wet process refining technology for purifying selenium has the advantages of being short in process, easy to implement, low in labor intensity, small in
energy consumption, low in production cost, short in
production cycle, good in operation environment, free of generation of middle overstock materials and the like; the
tower absorption liquid obtained through
alloy blowing absorption is subjected to three times of purification,
impurity removing and filtering, and the fine selenium
powder with the grade up to 99.1% can be obtained as long as
sulfur dioxide is introduced for reduction, the direct yield is increased to 83.5% from original 79.8%, the
production cycle is shortened to 3 d from original 7 d, the
processing cost can be reduced to 13 yuan / kg, and good popularization value and
economic benefits are achieved.
