The invention provides a method for purifying and regenerating silver and
palladium from silver-
palladium-
indium target waste, and belongs to the field of
metal separation and
recovery. According to the method,
vacuum distillation is carried out to melt the silver-
palladium-
indium target waste,
indium is gasified, and remaining melt is a silver-
palladium alloy. Compared with the prior art, acid leaching is not needed in the method, no waste acid or waste water is generated, the technology is simple, rapid and efficient, the equipment investment is low, the
mass content of the indium in the obtained silver-
palladium alloy can be reduced to be very low, the
mass content can reach 30 ppm or below, the silver-
palladium alloy can be continuously used for
machining target materials such as silver-palladium-
copper-
germanium and silver-palladium-
copper, in the whole process, the
loss rate of the silver and the palladium is very low, and the
loss rate can reach 0.6% or below.
