【発明の詳細な説明】
〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は廃水から金、銀を回収する方法、特に金シアン
錯塩および/または銀シアン錯塩を含む廃水から金、銀

処理を同時に行う方法に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for recovering gold and silver from wastewater, and in particular, a method for recovering gold and silver from wastewater containing gold cyanide complex salts and/or silver cyanide complex salts by precipitating gold and silver as cyanide complex salts. The present invention relates to a method for simultaneously recovering wastewater and treating wastewater at the same time.

れている。Gold plating and silver plating have characteristics such as high corrosion resistance, low electrical resistance, good thermal conductivity, and can be bonded to silicone, so they have traditionally been used for decorative items (watches, fountain pens).
In recent years, it has been applied to terminal plating of IC-related lead frames, printed circuit boards, etc., aircraft, electronic equipment parts, etc.
このような金メッキ、銀メツキ工程から排出される廃水
中に含まれる金シアン錯塩は、アルカリ塩素法、オゾン
法などの酸化法では分解できない。Gold cyanide complex salts contained in wastewater discharged from such gold plating and silver plating processes cannot be decomposed by oxidation methods such as the alkali chlorine method and the ozone method.
銀シアン錯塩は金シアン鉗塩に較べるとやや不安定であ
るが、完全に分解できないため、シアン錯塩を分解後金
、銀を固液分離により回収する方法は採用されていない
。Although silver cyanide complex salt is slightly more unstable than gold cyanide salt, it cannot be completely decomposed, so a method of recovering gold and silver by solid-liquid separation after decomposing the cyanide complex salt has not been adopted.

て回収、あるいは電解により金属として回収する方法な
どがある。Conventional methods for recovering gold and silver from gold and silver cyanide complex salts include adsorption treatment using ion exchange resins or activated carbon, but elution is generally difficult, so the adsorbed resin or activated carbon is ashed. A regeneration method has also been reported in which the cyanide complex salt is eluted from the resin, which is often recovered by converting it into a resin. Gold and silver can be recovered from recycled wastewater using zinc powder,
There are methods such as reducing it with sodium borohydride and recovering it as a metal, or recovering it as a metal through electrolysis.

る(例えば特公昭51−29587号)。In addition, as a treatment method for wastewater containing general cyanide complex salts,
A method has been proposed in which free cyanide, etc. are decomposed by an alkali chlorine method, and then complex salts of iron, copper, etc. are precipitated and separated using a reducing agent (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-29587).

しかしながら、上記のような従来の金、銀をイオン交換

ないという問題点があった。[Problems to be solved by the invention] [However, the above conventional methods of recovering gold and silver using ion exchange resins, etc. all have high initial costs and running costs, and the process of recovering gold and silver from dissociating from gold and silver. There was a problem in that it could not be discharged unless free cyanide was oxidized and decomposed.

る適用の可能性は示唆されていない上、第1段として酸
化法により遊離シアンを分解した後、不溶性錯塩を分離

た。Moreover, the method of Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-29587 does not suggest the possibility of application to gold and silver, and it requires the separation of insoluble complex salts after decomposing free cyanide by an oxidation method in the first step. There were problems such as complexity.
この発明は上記のような問題点を解決するためのもので

とを目的としている。This invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems. Instead of decomposition by oxidation, cyanide complex salts of gold and silver are directly dissolved in the complex form by ordinary precipitation treatment, and solid-liquid separation is carried out. The purpose of this project is to develop a method for recovering gold and silver that can be recovered as precious metals and treated as wastewater at the same time.

This method recovers gold and silver from wastewater consisting of
本発明において処理の対象となる廃水は金シアン錯塩お
よび/または銀シアン錯塩を含む廃水である。このよう
な廃水は金メッキおよび銀メツキ工程などから排出され
9通常遊離シアンを含んでいる。The wastewater to be treated in the present invention is wastewater containing gold cyanide complex salt and/or silver cyanide complex salt. Such wastewater is discharged from processes such as gold plating and silver plating,9 and typically contains free cyanide.
以下、本発明を図面により説明する0図面は本発明の実
施態様を示す系統図であり、lは反応槽。Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Drawing 0 is a system diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and l is a reaction tank.
2は凝集槽、3は沈殿槽、4は中和凝集槽、5は沈殿槽
、6は再中和槽である。2 is a flocculation tank, 3 is a sedimentation tank, 4 is a neutralization flocculation tank, 5 is a sedimentation tank, and 6 is a re-neutralization tank.
処理方法は、まず金銀回収工程として廃水を反応槽1に
導入し、ここで廃水に銅塩、還元剤およびpH調整剤を
添加して攪拌し、難溶性の沈殿を生成させる。In the treatment method, wastewater is first introduced into a reaction tank 1 as a gold-silver recovery step, where a copper salt, a reducing agent, and a pH adjuster are added to the wastewater and stirred to form a hardly soluble precipitate.
廃水を存在させる銅塩としては水溶性の塩であればよく
、1価の銅塩でも2価の銅塩でもよいが、一般に1価の
銅塩は難溶性で空気により容易に酸化されるため工業的
に入手することが困難であり、硫酸銅(II)、塩化銅
(II)、硝酸鋼(II)などの2価の銅塩が利用可能
である。The copper salt to be used in wastewater may be any water-soluble salt, and may be monovalent copper salt or divalent copper salt, but monovalent copper salts are generally sparingly soluble and easily oxidized by air. It is difficult to obtain it industrially, and divalent copper salts such as copper (II) sulfate, copper (II) chloride, and steel (II) nitrate can be used.
還元剤は2価の銅イオンを1価に還元できる還元剤であ
り、例えば亜硫酸塩、ハイドロサルファイド、鉄塩(n
)、ヒドラジンなどいずれでもよいが、汚泥発生量の低
減および入手の容易性の点から亜硫酸塩およびハイドロ
サルファイドが推奨される。The reducing agent is a reducing agent that can reduce divalent copper ions to monovalent ones, such as sulfites, hydrosulfides, iron salts (n
), hydrazine, etc., but sulfites and hydrosulfides are recommended from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of sludge generated and being easily available.
一般に硫酸銅などの2価の銅塩に亜硫酸塩、ハイドロサ
ルファイド、硫酸鉄(II)、ヒドラジンなどの各種還
元剤を添加してP[12〜11としても、見かけ上1価
の銅イオンの生成は見られないが、遊離シアンおよび金
2銀シアン錯塩含有廃水に2価の銅塩と還元剤を添加す
ると、1価の銅のシアン化合物が難溶性塩となって沈殿
する。Generally, when various reducing agents such as sulfite, hydrosulfide, iron(II) sulfate, and hydrazine are added to divalent copper salts such as copper sulfate, apparently monovalent copper ions are generated even though P[12-11 is used. However, when divalent copper salts and reducing agents are added to wastewater containing free cyanide and gold disilver cyanide complex salts, monovalent copper cyanide compounds precipitate as sparingly soluble salts.
これは1価の銅イオンとシアン化合物が反応して沈殿し
、系内に1価の銅イオンが存在できない雰囲気となるた
め、見かけ上の酸化還元電位が変化して還元が進行した
と推察される。This is thought to be because monovalent copper ions and cyanide react with each other and precipitate, creating an atmosphere where monovalent copper ions cannot exist in the system, resulting in a change in the apparent redox potential and reduction progressing. Ru.
上記の反応は下式により進行すると推測される。It is assumed that the above reaction proceeds according to the following formula.
Cu”十〇N−→CuCN↓ −(1
)Cu” +Au(CN)2− →CuAu(CN)2
↓ ・(2)Cu”+Ag(CN)2−−+CuA
g(CN)2↓ −(3)このうち(1)式は遊離
シアンの反応、(2)、(3)式はシアン錯塩の反応で
あり、いずれも1価の銅イオンの存在によ:り難溶性の
沈殿を生成し、−括して処理される。Cu”10N-→CuCN↓-(1
)Cu” +Au(CN)2− →CuAu(CN)2
↓ ・(2) Cu"+Ag(CN)2--+CuA
g(CN)2↓ -(3) Among these, equation (1) is a reaction of free cyanide, and equations (2) and (3) are reactions of a cyanide complex salt, both of which are due to the presence of monovalent copper ions: This produces a poorly soluble precipitate, which is then treated all at once.
反応系に存在させる銅塩の量は上記(1)〜(3)式に
おける反応当量でよいが、廃水中のシアン濃度の変動に
対処するため、ならびに反応促進のためには廃水中のシ
アン濃度の2〜5倍量が好ましい。The amount of copper salt present in the reaction system may be the reaction equivalent in equations (1) to (3) above, but in order to cope with fluctuations in the cyanide concentration in the wastewater and to promote the reaction, the cyanide concentration in the wastewater should be adjusted. 2 to 5 times the amount is preferred.
この場合、銅とシアン錯塩は化学量論的に反応して沈殿
するため、銅塩を過剰に添加しても、水酸化鋼が沈殿し
ないp、H領域でシアン錯塩を沈殿分離すれば、沈殿物
の組成は(1)〜(3)式で示した化合物のみとなるた
め、回収物の貴金属含有割合が高くなる。ここで過剰に
添加した銅塩は次の銀回収工程で回収される。In this case, copper and cyanide complex react stoichiometrically and precipitate, so if the cyanide complex is precipitated and separated in the p and H regions where hydroxide steel does not precipitate even if copper salt is added in excess, precipitation will occur. Since the composition of the product is only the compounds shown by formulas (1) to (3), the noble metal content of the recovered product is high. The copper salt added in excess here is recovered in the next silver recovery step.

させるのが好ましい。PH region 4 to 9 in which gold and silver cyanide complexes precipitate,
At pH 4 or lower and pi (9 or higher), it becomes difficult for the natural salt to precipitate. At pH 7 or higher, excess copper becomes copper hydroxide and precipitates, lowering the content of gold and silver in the precipitate, and reducing the amount of copper salt. Since it cannot be used effectively, it is preferable to form a precipitate at a pH of 4 to 6.
