Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of recovery method and electrolytic recovery device that reclaims valuable metal from the liquid that contains valuable metal.
Background technology
In the past,, be known to for example add the oxygenants such as hypochlorous acid and cyanogen decomposition method that cyanogen is decomposed containing the treatment process of cyanogen liquid as plating solution, coating stripping liquid etc.Containing in cyanogen liquid, conventionally contain the valuable metals such as Au, Ag, Cu, platinum, rare metal at this, therefore, add the reductive agents such as such as sodium borohydride (SBH), formalin and make valuable metal be powdery to separate out, and reclaim by solid-liquid separation.In addition, not containing in the plating solution of stripper, utilize electrolytic process to reclaim valuable metal.But, in this electrolytic process, be difficult to control the addition of oxygenant and become batch processing, therefore, the addition that makes oxygenant is superfluous and cause cost to rise.In addition, exist the rate of recovery of valuable metal to produce deviation and cause unstable such problem.
On the other hand, the plating solution that contains stripper is difficult to utilize electrolytic process to be processed, but utilizes cyanogen decomposition method to process.Its reason is, in electrolytic process, need to make the current density of anode higher, but when the current density of anode is made as to 200A/m 2when above, can cause stainless steel (SUS) the material stripping as anode material.Therefore, from the plating solution that contains stripper, reclaim in the recovery method of valuable metal, the operation that need to decompose cyanogen, this can spend labour and time and cause cost to rise.
So, expect exploitation a kind of with low cost and efficiently from plating solution, coating stripping liquid etc. containing the method that reclaims the valuable metals such as gold cyanogen liquid.
Therefore, the application's applicant had proposed a kind of retrieving arrangement 10 as shown in Figure 1 in the past, in this retrieving arrangement 10, the anode being made up of insoluble material 5 and discoid negative electrode 6 are disposed in electrolyzer 3, this electrolyzer 3 be accommodated with contain valuable metal interior containing cyanogen liquid, utilize rotation electric motor 7 to make the rotating speed rotation of discoid negative electrode 6 with regulation on one side, carry out electrolysis on one side, thereby make valuable metal on discoid negative electrode 6, separate out (with reference to patent documentation 1).In Fig. 1, Reference numeral 4 is rectifiers.Adopt this motion, can reclaim valuable metal from being difficult to carry out containing cyanogen liquid of electrolysis treatment, and can in the situation that not adding chemical reagent, cyanogen self be decomposed, thereby seek to improve the rate of recovery of valuable metal and reduce processing cost.
But, in this motion, there are the following problems: because the current density of discoid negative electrode is higher, therefore, valuable metal is easily powdery separates out, and, because the rotating speed of discoid negative electrode is larger, therefore, the valuable metal after being powdery and separating out easily comes off from discoid negative electrode, thereby the rate of recovery of valuable metal is reduced.
Thereby, current, expect to provide the recovery method and the electrolytic recovery device that liquid from containing valuable metal, reclaim valuable metal, the recovery method of this valuable metal and electrolytic recovery device can low costs and from the liquid that contains valuable metal, are reclaimed efficiently the valuable metals such as golden with the higher rate of recovery.
