Description

A kind of purifying and impurity-removing method for copper electrolytic solution
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of purifying and impurity-removing method for copper electrolytic solution.
Background technology
Arsenic in the anode copper, antimony, bismuth impurity enter electrolytic solution in the electrolytic refining process with the anode copper electrochemical dissolution.Because the deposition potential of these impurity and the deposition potential of copper are approaching, when arsenic, antimony, the bismuth concentration in electrolytic solution runs up to a certain degree, will separate out at negative electrode, influence the quality of cathode copper.Therefore, the cupric electrolysis refinery practice will constantly purify electrolytic solution.The traditional technology of cleaning copper electrolyte is: extract part electrolytic solution from electrolyte circulation system; Evaporation, crystallization obtain copper sulfate; Crystalline mother solution electrodeposition decopper(ing) takes off the assorted black copper mud that contains As, Sb, Bi that produces, and decopper(ing) liquid returns electrolyte circulation system; If anode copper is nickeliferous higher, decopper(ing) liquid then elder generation returns the copper electrolyte recycle system again after crude nickle sulphate is reclaimed in electricity evaporation, crystallization.
Copper electrolyte tradition purification process exists the energy consumption height (to purify 1m 3Electrolytic solution power consumption 100-120kwh, steam 0.8-1 ton), operating environment is poor (to be produced a large amount of black copper mud, and discharges obnoxious flavour AsH 3) etc. defective.The clean liquid measure of ton copper of copper electrolyzing refining is normally produced 1 ton of cathode copper and will be purified 0.4-0.6m 3Electrolytic solution, the concentration that just can keep impurity Sb, Bi in the electrolytic solution is all at 300~400mg/L.Along with the develop rapidly of copper metallurgy industry, the high-quality copper ore concentrates is fewer and feweri, and the content of As, Sb, Bi is in rising trend in the mineral products anode copper, and the clean liquid measure of ton copper of copper electrolyzing refining has to increase thereupon.The clean liquid measure of ton copper increases, and not only will increase the cost of copper electrolyzing refining, and can cause the direct yield of electrorefining process copper to descend, and copper, acid are difficult to balance in the electrolytic solution.Therefore, people are seeking new cleaning copper electrolyte technology always, and develop many methods of effectively removing As, Sb, Bi, comprising stannic acid and active carbon purifying copper electrolyte, barium carbonate, the co-precipitation of carbonic acid fine linen remove Bi, organic solvent extraction Sb, Bi contain antimony adsorbents adsorb As, Sb, Bi, and resin absorption Sb, Bi etc.These methods all are to adopt passive mode to remove impurity from copper electrolyte, have ignored the self-purification ability that copper electrolyte itself is had.
Also there is the people in copper electrolyte, to increase arsenic solution or arsenic salt recently, make Sb in the electrolytic solution and Bi and As form precipitation and enter the anode sludge, but this method often only has certain assorted effect of taking off to copper electrolyte adding the arsenic initial stage, along with the prolongation decontamination effect improving of duration of service worse and worse.
Discover that the throw out that the As in the copper electrolyte, Sb, Bi form mainly is the arsenic stibnate.Accelerate the formation speed of arsenic stibnate, can obviously improve the self-purification ability of copper electrolyte, reduce the clean liquid measure of ton copper.Sb (V) is the core element that the arsenic stibnate forms, and does not have Sb (V) just can not produce arsenic stibnate precipitation in the copper electrolyte.As also plays crucial effect: aH to the formation of arsenic stibnate in the copper electrolyte 3AsO 4+ bH[Sb (OH) 6]+cMeO +→ Me cAs aSb bO (3a+5b+c/2+1)H (a+5b-2c+2)XH 2O+cH ++ (a+b+c/2-1-x) H 2O, Me=As (III) wherein, Bi (III) and Sb (III); A 〉=1, b 〉=1, c≤(3a+b).
