Abstract:
      Zn and As in leaching solution of white ash from copper smelting process are co-precipitated and formed sulfide by sulfuration precipitation method. Under the optimal experimental conditions,100% of Zn and 99% of As are co-precipitated.By adjusting pH of leaching solution with NaOH and adding Fe2(SO)4, the precipitation of ferric arsenate is formed,and over 90 % of As is removed.Finally,Zn is completely precipitated by adding sulfide.By adjusting pH to 1 with Ca(OH)2 to substitute NaOH,over 95% of As is separated,and then adding Na2S,Zn is precipitated when mole ratio of Na2S/Zn is 1.5 and pH of the solution is 4.Arsenic is not detected in the filtrate obtained finally,which illustrates that arsenic is completely precipitated.
