Abstract

PURPOSE:To selectively recover thallium from a thallium-contg. soln. in high yield even if the thallium concn. is low by adding chromates to the soln. to precipitate thallium. CONSTITUTION:Chromates are added to a thallium-contg. soln. generated from a nonferrous metal refining stage for producing zinc, cadmium, etc., and allowed to selectively react with thallium, and thallium chromate is precipitated. The amt. of the chromates to be added is appropriately controlled to 2-7 times the theoretical equivalent shown by the formula. The precipitate is then filtered off to recover thallium, and valuable metals are recovered from the filtrate. Consequently, thallium is recovered in good yield with loss of other valuable metals reduced.

The thallium-containing solution that is the object of the present invention is, for example, a leachate produced in a cadmium recovery process from sintered smoke ashes of zinc smelting. In addition, the leachate ζ is normally sent to the cadmium recovery process as a "cadmium cleaning solution" after a cleaning operation, and this "cadmium cleaning solution" is generally the target. The behavior of thallium is similar to that of cadmium, and it is extremely difficult to selectively separate it from cadmium and zinc during the cleaning stage.

An example of the method of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, in the method of the present invention, sintered smoke ash 11
Thallium is precipitated by directly adding chromates to the leachate 12 obtained by adding sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and performing a leaching operation to obtain thallium precipitate (Tj precipitate) 13. That is, chromates react selectively with thallium and precipitate as thallium chromate, and the reaction at this time is thought to be as follows.

In addition, in this case, the precipitate of thallium chromate becomes finer,
In addition, the reaction is slower than when chromate is used, and may take several hours to complete. therefore,
It is desirable to separate and recover thallium according to formula (1), which has a fast reaction and good coagulation and separation properties of the produced thallium chromate precipitate. Therefore, when using dichromate, treat the dichromate with an alkali agent in advance and proceed as follows (3).

In the present invention, the addition ratio of chromate salts to the thallium-containing solution is preferably 2 to 7 times the theoretical equivalent expressed by formula (1). If the amount is less than 2 times equivalent, thallium in the liquid will not completely precipitate. On the other hand, if it is used in excess of 7 times equivalent, the drug will only be wasted, and an excessive amount of precipitation will occur. The precipitation of thallium chromate becomes fine, which is not preferable.

Further, in the method of the present invention, there are no particular limitations on the reaction concentration, stirring conditions, etc. Relatively speaking, it is more efficient to carry out the reaction under heating and stirring, but even if the reaction is carried out at room temperature, it will be completed in a few minutes.
