Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electro deposited copper with lead or the pretreated method of LY inert anode, be used to reduce the overpotential for oxygen evolution of electro deposited copper with lead or LY inert anode.Belonging to electrification metallurgical is that a kind of technology is simple with inert anode supporting technology field, easy to operate, can significantly reduce the inert anode supporting technology of ton copper power consumption.
Background technology
Copper is pillar material important in the national economic development.Over past ten years, China's copper output annual increasing velocity is all more than 10%, and copper material output was 888.4 ten thousand tons in 2009, ranked first in the world.According to the copper characteristics of resources, the copper smelting process generally can be divided into two kinds of pyrogenic process and wet methods.The advantage of copper hydrometallurgy be can with refractory copper oxide ore and low-grade copper mine as raw material, flow process is simple, the process assembled scheme is many, production cost is low and scale is flexible.It is reported, build ore dressing-pyrometallurgical smelting process factory ton copper investment and be about 6.5 ten thousand yuan, be about 1.5 ten thousand yuan and build leaching-extraction-electrodeposition factory ton copper investment.So development copper hydrometallurgical technology obviously is an effective way that reduces the copper production cost.
The electrodeposition technology is occupied considerable status in the copper hydrometallurgy.At present, in copper electrodeposition production process, nearly all factory all adopts the Pb-Ca-Sn anode, but Pb-Ca-Sn anodic shortcoming is that overpotential for oxygen evolution surpasses 700mV, and the power consumption that causes the copper electrodeposition is up to 2000kWh/ ton copper.Because the power consumption of copper electrodeposition is too high, cause the cost of whole wet type copper smelting to increase, be unfavorable for the further popularization and the national energy-saving and emission-reduction implementation of China's copper hydrometallurgical technology.
Bath voltage is the important technology index of electrolytic deposition process, and it is made up of the volts lost that the contact resistance of copper sulfate decomposition voltage and electrolyte solution resistance, wiring, anode sludge resistance, pole plate resistance etc. cause.Wherein, the copper sulfate decomposition voltage is the major portion that constitutes bath voltage, accounts for 75~80% of bath voltage.Therefore, copper electrodeposition power consumption be reduced and the copper sulfate decomposition voltage must be reduced.And the decomposition voltage of copper sulfate is theoretical decomposition voltage and whole over voltage sums.The negative electrode over voltage value of copper electrodeposition is less, is merely 0.02~0.05V.The anode overpotential be oxygen on anode, separate out the institute cause that its value is about 0.75V, account for about 30% of anode total voltage, be the main root of useless power consumption.So will reduce bath voltage, the overpotential of separating out that reduces oxygen is the most important thing.Through calculating, the every reduction of bath voltage 0.1V, the power consumption of separating out 1 ton of cathode copper will reduce by 80~100kWh.
Select suitable anode pretreatment process be reduce oxygen separate out one of effective means of over voltage.Therefore, it is imperative to seek a kind of anode pretreatment process that can significantly reduce the inert anode overpotential for oxygen evolution.Anode preconditioning technique of the present invention promotes that through engineering approaches, industrialization and the mass-producing process of internal copper hydrometallurgical technology are significant, and the energy-conservation production of other metal electrodeposition is had important dissemination for national energy-saving and emission-reduction implementation.

In the above-mentioned technology, anode is for treating pretreated lead or LY electrode, and negative electrode is the 316L stainless steel electrode.After pre-treatment was intact, water flushing anode surface immersed then and carries out the electrodeposition operation in the copper electric effusion.
Lead after handling with the present invention or LY inert anode be as the anode of copper electrolytic deposition process, on ton copper power consumption than having more advantage without pretreated lead or LY inert anode.Co on the anode surface
2+Adsorptive capacity increase, the corresponding quantity that has increased the electrochemical activity point in the unit surface on the electrode, so, the reduction of anode overpotential for oxygen evolution certainty.
By lead or the LY inert anode after the present invention's processing, owing to formed the big PbO of specific surface area at anode surface
