The invention discloses a method for recycling
tin from lead
bullion, and belongs to the technical field of pyrogenic process and wet process combined
metallurgy. The method comprises the steps that after liguation decoppering
processing is carried out on the lead
bullion, caustic soda, caustic soda and salt are added into the lead
bullion according to the content of the
tin in the lead bullion to gather and remove the
tin in the lead bullion, and tin-rich
slag is obtained;
sodium carbonate and reduction
coal are added into the tin-rich
slag and all tin-containing
slag produced by a
lead smelting system, and the tin-rich slag and the tin-containing slag generate terne
metal through reduction
smelting; the terne
metal is processed through
vacuum distillation to obtain crude tin; highly purified precipitated tin is obtained from the crude tin through electrolytic refining of mixed acid with silicofluoric acid-
sulfuric acid as an electrolytic medium, and the precipitated tin is processed through simple
smelting to obtain a tin
ingot product meeting the
national standard. The method sets the precedent for producing tin
ingot products through comprehensive utilization of tin resources obtained from lead through
smelting, has the advantages of being concise in technology, high in tin product yield, low in
processing cost and the like, particularly separates tin alloys through introduction of
vacuum distillation, and has the significant advantages in the aspects such as
energy conservation and environment protection.
