Description

Method for recovering silver from solid-phase photosensitive material
A method for recovering silver from a solid-phase photosensitive material. The present invention relates to precious metal metallurgy.
Silver is a noble metal, and is widely used for manufacturing photographic photosensitive materials due to the strong photosensitivity of its compound, silver bromide, and about 40% of the world's silver yield is used for photosensitive materials. A large amount of waste materials are generated in the production and use processes of the photosensitive materials, and the silver is recovered from the waste photosensitive materials and becomes a precious secondary silver resource. The solid-phase photosensitive material includes: waste films (motion picture films, various black and white color films, X-ray films), waste photographic papers, lithographic films, etc., contain about 0.2-5% silver. There are 3 types of methods for recovering silver from such waste photosensitive materials: (1) the burning method is that the solid-phase photosensitive material is burned at the temperature of over 400 ℃, the film base is burned off, silver-containing ash is left, and the silver is recovered by smelting or wet method. The main disadvantages are that burning off the substrate is both wasteful and environmentally polluting. (2) The chemical method is that acid, alkali, salt, etc. are used to dissolve silver layer on the film to obtain silver mud, and the silver mud is further treated to obtain silver. The most chemical method is used, which can keep the film base, but some reagents are corrosive to the equipment, the waste liquid pollutes the environment, (3) the biochemical method, such as US3748123, adopts protease to process the film, so that the silver-containing emulsion layer is reacted with enzyme to separate from the film base, the silver-containing emulsion solution is processed to obtain silver mud, and the silver mud is separated and then processed to obtain metallic silver.
The invention aims to find out proper conditions for biochemical treatment of waste solid photosensitive materials generated in factories to recycle silver and film substrates, and further research out a better scheme for separating and recycling silver into metallic silver.
The method for recovering silver from solid-phase photosensitive material includes dissolving silver emulsion layer with proteinase, settling, separating silver mud, roasting silver mud, leaching the roasted residue with water, smelting the leached residue to obtain metal silverSeveral steps. The specific method comprises (1) cutting the solid phase photosensitive material, and eluting the silver-containing emulsion layer with neutral enzyme (5 ten thousand activity units) or alkaline enzyme (8 ten thousand activity units) solution under the following conditions: enzyme type concentration (g/L) temperature (DEG C) PH value liquid (volume, L):solid (weight, Kg) neutral enzyme 0.01-1.033-48-63-12: 1 alkaline enzyme 0.02-1.050-609-: neutral enzyme 0.01-1.040-45-64-10: 1 alkaline enzyme 0.05-1.050-609-113-5: 1, mechanically stirring, and taking out the substrate after the silver emulsion layer is dissolved. (2) Adjusting pH of the emulsion solution with dilute sulfuric acid, adjusting pH of neutral enzyme silver removing solution to 1.2-4.5, preferably pH to 1.2-2.5, and adjusting pH of alkaline enzyme silver removing solution to 2-5, preferably pH to 2-3.5, precipitating silver mud (AgBr as main component), filtering and separating silver mud. (3) Drying the silver mud, grinding, adding sodium carbonate according to the molar ratio of the silver bromide to the sodium carbonate (1: 1-2.2), roasting at the temperature of 550-700 ℃ for 1-3 hours to convert the silver bromide into silver, wherein the reaction is as follows: preferably sodium carbonate, the ratio of the silver bromide content to the sodium carbonate content (molar ratio) is 1: 1-1.5, roasting for 2-3 hours at the temperature of 650-,it is preferable thatIt is leached with hot water at 80 deg.c to dissolve the sodium bromide produced in the reaction, and the solution contains silver less than 0.000Xg/l and is discarded.
(4) After the roasted water leached slag is dried, flux (sodium carbonate + borax + saltpeter) is added to smelt, and the proportion of the flux is that the weight ratio of sodium carbonate to borax to saltpeter is 30-10: 10-3: 1, and the weight ratio of the flux is 11-10: 6-5: 1, and the pure silver is obtained after smelting for more than 0.5h at the temperature of 1000-1100 ℃, and the best 1050-1100 ℃.
