Abstract:
      The process of Cu Selective Removal –Leaching Sb, Bi by Mixed Acid - Pb Removal by Nitric Acid- Precious Metal Recovery by Smelting Method is adopted to comprehensively recover valuable metals from lead anode slime. In this paper, the experimental study of Cu selective removal in this process is focused on. The optimal conditions of copper removal are determined as following: leaching temperature 28℃, initial acidity H2SO4 20g/L, air blasting and leaching 3 hours, liquid-solid ratio 5/1(mL/g), and additives of Fe3+ concentration 1g/L. Under these conditions, the average Cu removal rate is 91.30% with the average Sb leaching rate only 2.11% and the elements such as Bi, Pb, Au and Ag are not leached. This study obtains good copper selective removal result and resolves the problems such as metal incompletely separated and poor product quality by existing traditional hydrometallurgical process of lead anode slime.
