Description

Method for improving gold and silver recovery rate by coarse silver fire refining copper removal
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pyrometallurgy processes, and relates to a method for improving gold and silver recovery rate by refining copper removal through crude silver in a fire method.
Background
Aiming at high copper lead anode slime and copper-containing noble metal materials, in the process of extracting noble metals by fire refining, copper in the lead anode slime can be oxidized and slagging to achieve the purpose of separating the copper from the noble metals by adding a strong oxidant into a silver separating furnace, the higher the viscosity of slag is, the more the copper oxide is contained in the silver separating furnace slag, the more the noble metals are physically entrained during slag discharge, the recovery rate of the noble metals is greatly influenced, and meanwhile, the copper oxide slag needs to be returned to the furnace again due to the higher grade of the noble metals, so that the smelting cost is increased.
The technology for the fire refining copper removal of noble metal materials is mainly divided into two main types according to the classification of raw materials, one type is mainly aimed at the removal of copper in the smelting process of lead and antimony, the technology is basically biased to the sulfuration copper removal, such as a copper removal agent for antimony smelting production and application thereof (CN 111041231A) proposed by Wang Weiguo of Guangxi Mo Shizhi rare noble metal technology, and the copper removal agent for antimony smelting production is developed, wherein the copper removal agent comprises elemental sulfur or sulfur-containing compounds, and the elemental phosphorus or phosphorus-containing compounds; the copper removing agent for antimony refining is prepared by singly using the two substances of the elemental sulfur or the sulfur-containing compound and the elemental phosphorus or the phosphorus-containing compound or mixing the two substances according to a certain proportion. A method for treating an antimony-containing high-tin high-copper alloy (CN 109306409A) is proposed by Mongolian mining and metallurgy Limited liability company Xu Peilun and the like, and the temperature is utilized to progressively decrease from high to low to separate tin, antimony and copper in sequence. Both the above two processes adopt a liquation-sulphuration copper removal mode to separate copper from antimony, but in order to reduce the grade of copper elements below a certain range, the above processes firstly need to repeatedly adjust the temperature difference to carry out liquation copper removal, thus seriously affecting the production efficiency of antimony; in the process of adding sulfur, the sulfur can react with copper after reacting with antimony, excessive sulfide is needed, and a large amount of solid slag can be formed by the excessive sulfide in the subsequent production process, so that the subsequent environmental protection cost is increased. The other is high-melting point nonferrous metal, mainly aiming at the smelting production of gold and silver, because the fire refining temperature of gold and silver needs to be above 1000 ℃, under the process condition, sulfur directly burns and volatilizes and cannot play a role in removing copper, aiming at the high-melting point nonferrous metal, the conventional copper removing process mainly comprises adding Sal into a silver separating furnace and adding flake alkali to assist copper removal, no related patent publication is made in China at present, the copper removing process of the silver separating furnace is introduced in the production practice controlled by the impurities of gold and silver alloy plates published by Li Zhi and the like in journal copper industry engineering, and Sal copper removing traditional fire cleaning alloy is characterized in that Sal is added into the silver separating furnace, and Sal and gold and silver melt are fully contacted through manual stirring. However, the defects are that the nitrate density is small and the nitrate is extremely easy to decompose at high temperature, the utilization rate of the nitrate is extremely low, the effect of the nitrate clear alloy is not satisfactory through the exploration of the production process control, and the main is that the nitrate produces copper slag, the gold and silver grade is high, the copper element must be reprocessed, but the copper element is not opened all the time and is enriched in the process.
Therefore, copper removal refining of copper-containing high-melting-point metal is performed, the aim is to improve the yield of gold and silver, reduce the production cost, lighten the environmental protection pressure, realize the comprehensive recovery of valuable elements and create better economic and social benefits.
