Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrolytic silver refining process in which crude silver is anodically dissolved and raffinate silver is deposited cathodically, with accompanying metals being extracted selectively from the used electrolyte and separately being cathodically deposited after being converted into an aqueous phase, and the regenerated, low-accompanying metal electrolyte is returned to silver electrolysis .
  • electrolytic silver refining which is usually carried out according to the Köbius or Balbach / Thum process
  • the less noble accompanying metals present in the anode raw silver, in particular the copper are a significant burden on the process, since they are dissolved and accumulate in the electrolyte.
  • a Cu content of about 60 g / 1 is considered the highest permissible value;
  • a cathodic copper deposition can occur above this, but at least copper salts are enclosed by the raffinate silver, so that the fineness requirements are no longer met.
  • the used electrolyte must therefore be regenerated or replaced from time to time.
  • the electrolyte cycle has already been used, with used electrolyte being withdrawn from the refining cell, Cu being removed therefrom on the extraction path and the thus regenerated, low-Cu electrolyte being returned to the refining cell.
  • the extracted Cu was transferred into an aqueous phase and cathodically separated.
  • a selective extractant for Cu is a large number organic reagents become known; for example, the known method described above works on the principle of solvent extraction with chelating agents such as phenonoximes or quinolines.
  • the used electrolyte is extracted in a mixer / settler system and the Cu is stripped from the organic extract phase with an acidic stripping solution.
  • the loaded stripping solution is electrolyzed, with Cu and optionally also Ni being able to be deposited cathodically. Depending on the chelating agent and the working conditions, it is possible to extract accompanying metals more or less selectively.
  • the organic phase (solvent + extractant) is washed.
  • the organic phase, the stripping solution regenerated by electrolysis and the regenerated electrolyte are circulated.
  • the object was therefore to create a process of the type mentioned at the outset in which there is a continuous complete regeneration of the electrolyte, in which the silver deficiency is also compensated for without the addition of silver nitrate solution.
  • the used electrolyte is anodically enriched with silver in a common electrolysis process and accompanying metals are cathodically deposited from the aqueous phase, a liquid membrane permeation, preferably in combination with a solvent extraction, being optionally provided as the extraction step (e) .
  • the system according to the invention for carrying out this method accordingly has, in addition to at least one refining cell, at least one electrolysis cell for cathodic deposition of the accompanying metals and at least one extraction device for extracting the accompanying metals from the used electrolyte and for transferring the extracted accompanying metals into an aqueous phase, at least one common electrolysis cell for enriching the used electrolyte with silver and for cathodic deposition of the accompanying metals, which is preferably designed as a diaphragm cell with an anionic diaphragm.
  • Ag is anodically dissolved in the common electrolysis cell, a crude silver anode advantageously being used, since the accompanying metal content does not have to be completely eliminated, but only has to be reduced.
  • the current released during the cathodic deposition of the accompanying metals on the cathode supports the dissolution of the silver anodes.
  • the task of the anionic diaphragm is to prevent silver from getting into the cathode compartment where it would be excreted together with the accompanying metals, and to maintain the desired large concentration gradient of nitrate ions between the cathode and anode compartments.
  • a solvent extraction is usually carried out in the process according to the invention, the refining electrolyte used first being treated with a solvent / extractant phase and then stripped with an equal-ion (N0 3 - ) stripping solution.
  • the solvent / extractant phase serves as a separating membrane between the used refining electrolyte and the acidic stripping solution, which is emulsified in the separating membrane.
  • the emulsion phase is separated off and disintegrated in a known manner into an aqueous phase (loaded stripping solution) and an organic phase (solvent / extractant).
  • the loaded stripping solution is regenerated by subsequent accompanying metal electrolysis or separation of valuable materials without electrolysis and emulsified again in the organic phase.
  • the organic phase only serves as a selective separation medium between the aqueous phases (used refining electrolyte and stripping solution), so that it does not have to absorb the accompanying metal as in liquid / liquid extraction. This results in a significantly reduced solvent consumption and high enrichment rates, e.g. in the range of 1: 100.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flow diagram of a system according to the invention for its implementation
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic elevation of a diaphragm cell in section
  • Fig. 3 is a corresponding plan.
  • the pH-adjusted electrolyte E 3 gets into the mixer of the first extraction stage 4, is extracted there with the solvent phase S 2 already loaded in the second extraction stage 5, and passes from the settler of the first extraction stage 4 into the mixer as the pre-extracted electrolyte E 4 second extraction stage 5, where accompanying metal is extracted with the unloaded, regenerated solvent phase S 1 .
  • the now regenerated electrolyte E 5 is returned from the settler of the second extraction stage 5 to the refining cell.
  • the solvent phase S 3 which is loaded twice with accompanying metal, passes from the settler of the second extraction stage into the mixer of a washing system 6, where the silver content is reduced by washing with a copper-containing washing solution W 1 .
  • the silver is replaced by copper in the solvent phase S 3 and the silver-laden washing solution W 2 is returned to the collecting tank 3.
  • the arrangement of a washing system 6 is not absolutely necessary.
  • the now low-silver solvent phase S 4 passes from the settler of the washing system 6 into the mixer of a stripping system 7 and is freed of accompanying metal with the regenerated acidic stripping solution A 1 by re-extraction, or the accompanying metal content is reduced to the desired extent.
  • the now regenerated solvent phase S 1 is returned from the settler of the stripping system 7 to the mixer of the second extraction stage 5.
  • the stripping solution A 2 loaded with accompanying metal passes from the settler of the stripping system into the cathode chamber 8 of the diaphragm electrolysis cell 2 , 8, where accompanying metal is deposited cathodically.
  • the stripping solution A 1 thus regenerated is returned to the mixer of the stripping system 7. It can be seen that in the process according to the invention an electrolytic enrichment of the used electrolyte with silver and a cathodic deposition of the extracted accompanying metal (in particular copper) is carried out simultaneously in a common electrolysis cell.
  • a closed circuit for electrolyte, solvent phase and stripping solution is also possible.
  • the overall arrangement of the process stages can also be such that the used electrolyte is enriched with silver only after the accompanying metal extraction by anodic dissolution of a silver electrode.
  • the used electrolyte E 1 is first fed into the extraction stages 4, 5 and then reaches the anode compartment 2 of the diaphragm electrolysis cell, where it is enriched with silver and then goes back into the electrolysis cell 1.
  • the cycle of the solvent phase and the stripping phase remains unchanged. This procedure has the advantage that not so much Ag is dragged into the extract S 3 .
  • a partial stream E 1 'of the used refining electrolyte E 1 can be branched off and fed to a permeator P, for example, before the feed into the anode space 2 of the diaphragm electrolysis cell 2,8 and fed to a permeator P, where the partial stream E 1 'by selective mass transfer with an emulsion of a stripping solution in an organic solvent / complexing phase of W or the W content is reduced accordingly.
  • the low-heat electrolyte E 1 "is fed back into the electrolyte stream E 1. Similar arrangements can be made with regard to the other accompanying metals.
  • extraction or permeation stages for the selective separation of different accompanying metals can also be connected in series, with or without a mode of operation with partial current operation.
  • the preparation of the stripping solutions loaded with accompanying metal for the recovery of valuable materials can be carried out electrolytically, by other known processing methods or by a combination of the methods specified.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show diagrammatically the diaphragm cell with an anionic membrane M, the Cu cathode CA and the crude silver anode AN, the electrolytes, the processes in the cell and with the guidance of electrolyte E and stripping solution A.
  • an Ag-enriched used electrolyte E 2 with 37.7 g / 1 Cu and 67 g / 1 Ag reaches the storage tank 3 and is drawn off from there at 1 l / h and in the two Extraction steps 4,5 with 2 l / h of an extractant S 1 , which consists of 20 parts by volume Acorga PT 5050 (Acorga Ltd.) as complexing agent and 80 parts by volume Shellsol AB (aromatic solvent from Shell Intern.)
