Method for preparing gold-silver alloy from rich lead
[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal smelting, and particularly relates to a method for preparing gold-silver alloy from rich lead.
[ background of the invention ]
In the traditional antimony smelting process by a pyrogenic process, gold, silver and precious metals are produced in the form of precious antimony when antimony ores containing gold and silver are treated. In order to improve the value, the precious antimony can be enriched with gold and silver in a reverberatory furnace to obtain the precious antimony. The content of rich and noble antimony can reach more than 50%, but the antimony has a lower valuation coefficient than the normal valuation coefficient, which is not beneficial to improving the recovery rate of antimony, so that the antimony is recovered by a method of enriching gold and silver with lead, and the gold and silver are enriched in the rich and noble lead. Although the valuation coefficient of gold and silver in the noble lead is improved to a certain extent relative to that of the noble antimony, the improvement is not large, and the noble lead has a single component. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the precious lead to produce high-grade gold-silver alloy.
