Abstract
The invention discloses a leaching method of gold and copper in a gold-contained electronic waste. The gold-contained electronic waste is crushed, and the particle size of crushed particles is not more than 2 mm; then, the ball-milling treatment is performed, and the particle size is not more than 1 mm after the ball-milling treatment; powder obtained by the ball-milling treatment is added in sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 130-170 g/L for copper leaching to obtain copper-enriched solution and copper leaching slag; and finally, the chlorination gold leaching is performed for the copper leaching slag to obtain gold-enriched solution. The method realizes the separation of copper and gold; the obtained copper-enriched solution and gold-enriched solution can be deeply treated to obtain gold and copper simple substances; and in the separation process, such other metals as lead and tin can be separated through controlling the redox potential.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of leaching method containing gold and copper in golden electron wastes, is the method to being separated leaching with the high-level efficiency of copper containing gold in golden electron wastes.Belong to the industrial waste process in environmental protection technical field, resource utilization field.
Background technology
The title that electron wastes has " mine, city ", mainly comprises the old computer, the communication equipment such as mobile phone, televisor, refrigerator, air-conditioning, the household electrical appliance such as washing machine and other the electronic machine etc. that go out of use in productive life.Containing multiple metals with high recovery value such as gold, copper, aluminium in electron wastes, the taste of its metal is tens even hundred times of native deposits, therefore, the metal in recycling electron wastes has great importance for the harmless treatment of electronic waste.The total amount of waste and old circuit board accounts for 4% of all electron wastes.Metal usually containing 40% in circuit card, what in various metal, content was the highest is copper, and recovery value the highest be gold.
Consider from environmental, containing multiple harmful substances in waste and old circuit board, wherein comprise the organic constituent that the heavy metal elements such as lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury and brominated flame retardant, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorobiphenyl etc. are poisonous.Most poisonous and harmful component all has biological accumulation, is difficult to be degraded by physical environment simultaneously.If dealt with improperly, once entered environment, by the extremely serious ecotope of generation and human health risk.
Consider from the angle of resource, the content of the Jin Hetong in waste and old circuit board is respectively up to 3300g/t and 26.8%, and the content of the especially precious metal such as Au, Ag, Pd of metallic element is wherein all higher than the taste in other corresponding ores.Meanwhile, relative to general ore, other components of waste and old circuit board are very little on the impact of metal leaching process, and do not need complicated preprocessing process, if reasonably recycle it, its economic benefit is very considerable.
But for gold and the leaching of copper in waste and old circuit board, what be most widely used at present be Wet-process metallurgy method is cyanide process and chloroazotic acid method.Although cyanide process technical process is simple, leaching rate is high, and cyanide process can produce containing hypertoxic cyanide wastewater, causes secondary pollution; Chloroazotic acid method has good solute effect to Jin Hetong, but the corrodibility of chloroazotic acid is strong, requires very high, can produce a large amount of strongly acid wastewater simultaneously to the erosion resistance of equipment.It is fast that By Thiourea-uv Method has leaching efficiency, the advantages such as leach liquor is nontoxic, but thiocarbamide is expensive, and consumption is large, and thiocarbamide easily resolves into dme, adds production cost; Thiosulphate consumption is large, and process costs is high.
Chinese patent " a kind of method reclaiming various metals from electron wastes " (patent No. 2013105499577) by electron wastes after crushed, dissolve various metals composition by nitric acid liquid leaching and enter solution, utilize Polyviologen functional high molecule material process gained solution, the non-ferrous metal enrichments such as copper-lead nickel are also separated; Residue after the leaching of hydrochloric acid chloroazotic acid, filters direct separating plastic component respectively; Utilize the solution of the matrix material process gained containing heteroatomic conducting function electronic material or this conducting function polymer and Graphene, enrichment the precious metal ion that reduces, then after high melt, obtain highly purified noble metal.In this method, adopt hydrochloric acid and chloroazotic acid leach residue, strong acid waste water can be produced in leaching process, cause secondary pollution; Adopt high melt to obtain highly purified noble metal, in high melt process, inevitably produce obnoxious flavour, and the method energy consumption is large, is not suitable for all electron wastes.
It is get gold leaching solution after naked state that electron wastes is processed into gold by Chinese patent " a kind of for leaching gold leaching solution golden in electronic waste and method " (patent No. 2014101662305), by solid-liquid mass ratio 1:(5-10), at 25 ~ 70 DEG C of temperature, heated and stirred 0.5 ~ 2h, gold leaching rate reaches more than 99%, and gold leaching solution is the ammonium chloride of 1% ~ 10% in this method, the sulfuric acid of 5% ~ 25%, the hydrogen peroxide of 0.1% ~ 2%, the nitric acid of 5% ~ 25%.In this method, adopt gold leaching solution to soak golden process and copper is not leached, the subsequent recovery of gold is brought inconvenience.
Chinese patent " a kind of novel microemulsion liquid is to Au plasma method in electron wastes " (patent No. 2014100589266) adds after then chloroazotic acid process evaporates chloroazotic acid count hydrochloric acid aftertreatment by pulverizing the electron wastes after drying, add deionized water after evaporating hydrochloric acid soln to filter, filtrate is Au (III) ion filtrate; Be the hexanaphthene of volume ratio 7:3 by [C14mim] Br additional proportion, dissolve in the mixed phase of n-hexyl alcohol, then add HCl process, be separated organic phase and form microemulsion with being separated after hydrochloric acid aqueous phase, shake extracting gold ion by after gold ion working fluid and micro emulsion liquid-phase mixing.Adopt in this method organism relatively gold extract, poisonous and hazardous material can be produced in leaching process, and extraction liquid not easily processes, can secondary pollution be caused; Electron wastes after adopting chloroazotic acid process to pulverize, produces volatile gases material in process and evaporative process, causes environmental pollution; And copper is not leached in Au plasma process, the leaching rate of impact gold.
So no matter the gold in recovery waste and old circuit board and copper consider all have very large realistic meaning, also meet the theory of recycling economy from environmental or resource view.
