Description

金又は銀の電解回収装置Gold or silver electrolytic recovery equipment
 本発明は、金を含有する溶液から金を電解回収するための装置及び銀を含有する溶液から銀を電解回収するための装置に係り、特に円筒状陰極表面に電着した金又は銀を陰極から容易に剥離することができるようにした金又は銀の電解回収装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an apparatus for electrolytically recovering gold from a solution containing gold and an apparatus for electrolytically recovering silver from a solution containing silver, and in particular, gold or silver electrodeposited on a cylindrical cathode surface is used as a cathode. The present invention relates to an electrolytic recovery device for gold or silver which can be easily peeled off from the surface.
 金めっき液、電子部品等をリサイクル処理した際に発生する金を含有する廃液から金を回収する手段として、電解法が広く実施されている。また、銀めっき液、写真定着液等の銀を含有する廃液から銀を回収する手段として、電解法が広く実施されている。 As a means for recovering gold from waste liquid containing gold generated when gold plating solution, electronic parts, etc. are recycled, electrolysis is widely implemented. Electrolytic methods are widely used as means for recovering silver from silver-containing waste liquids such as silver plating solutions and photographic fixing solutions.
 銀を含有する溶液から銀を電解回収する装置として、例えば、電解槽、この電解槽内に配置された陽極、この陽極を包囲して前記電解槽内に配置された取り外し可能な陰極、および前記陰極および陽極のための、前記電解槽の外側に設けられた電気接続具を備え、前記電解槽は導電性の接触面を有し、前記陰極の変形可能な部分を前記接触面に対して把持して陰極の接続具から陰極への電気的接続を行う把持装置を備えた銀の回収装置が知られている。(例えば、特許文献1参照) As an apparatus for electrolytically recovering silver from a solution containing silver, for example, an electrolytic cell, an anode disposed in the electrolytic cell, a removable cathode disposed in the electrolytic cell surrounding the anode, and the above Electrical connection provided outside the electrolytic cell for the cathode and the anode, the electrolytic cell having a conductive contact surface, and gripping the deformable part of the cathode with respect to the contact surface Thus, a silver recovery device including a gripping device that performs electrical connection from the cathode connector to the cathode is known. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
 また、銀を含有する溶液から銀を電解回収するための装置として、例えば、電解槽;槽内に位置した陽極;槽内に位置した参照電極;槽内に位置した脱着しうる陰極(この陰極は陽極に対向した内面及び参照電極に対向した外面を有する);陰極の外面での銀の析出を抑制するための手段を含む銀の電解回収装置が知られている。(例えば、特許文献2参照) Further, as an apparatus for electrolytically recovering silver from a solution containing silver, for example, an electrolytic cell; an anode positioned in the cell; a reference electrode positioned in the cell; a detachable cathode positioned in the cell (this cathode) Has an inner surface facing the anode and an outer surface facing the reference electrode); a silver electrowinning device is known that includes means for inhibiting silver deposition on the outer surface of the cathode. (For example, see Patent Document 2)
 そしてまた、金めっき廃液等の金を含有する溶液から金を電解回収する装置として、例えばTi製回転陰極を使用して金めっき廃液及び金めっき後の洗浄水から金を電解回収する装置が開示されている。この装置では、電着金の剥離脱落防止する方法としてTi回転電極の表裏面を弗化水素酸または塩酸或いは硝弗酸で酸化膜を除去することを特徴とするものである。(例えば、特許文献3参照) Further, as an apparatus for electrolytically recovering gold from a solution containing gold such as gold plating waste liquid, an apparatus for electrolytically recovering gold from gold plating waste liquid and cleaning water after gold plating using, for example, a Ti rotating cathode is disclosed. Has been. This apparatus is characterized in that the oxide film is removed with hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid or nitric hydrofluoric acid on the front and back surfaces of the Ti rotating electrode as a method for preventing the electrodeposition gold from peeling off. (For example, see Patent Document 3)
 また、金等の有価金属を含有するシアン廃液を電解槽に供給し、陽極に不溶性材料を用いると共に、陰極板を回転させながら電気分解を行い、該陰極板表面に金等の有価金属を析出させるシアン含有廃液からの有価金属の回収装置が知られている。(例えば、特許文献4参照) In addition, cyan waste solution containing valuable metals such as gold is supplied to the electrolytic cell, and insoluble materials are used for the anode, and electrolysis is performed while rotating the cathode plate to deposit valuable metals such as gold on the surface of the cathode plate. An apparatus for recovering valuable metals from a cyan-containing waste liquid is known. (For example, see Patent Document 4)
 しかしながら、上記した特許文献1及び特許文献2に開示されているような円筒形状の陰極を使用する電解回収装置においては、陰極材料そのものが薄く、上縁には多数の切込みが設けられているので電解槽への装着、取外等の作業にたいへん手間が掛かった。 However, in the electrolytic recovery apparatus using the cylindrical cathode as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above, the cathode material itself is thin and a large number of cuts are provided on the upper edge. It took a lot of work to attach to and remove from the electrolytic cell.
 また、析出した銀が陰極より剥離する場合があり、それにより陽極と陰極とが短絡し、陽極の消耗が促進され、電解の継続に支障をきたすものであった。 In addition, the precipitated silver sometimes peeled off from the cathode, which caused a short circuit between the anode and the cathode, which accelerated the consumption of the anode and hindered continuation of electrolysis.
 更に、特許文献3の貴金属電解回収装置は、Ti回転電極へ剥離脱落せずに密着するものと考えられるが、前記のTi回転電極へ電着した貴金属は、電極の表面全体に亘って上端から下端までびっしりと、付着されているのでTi回転電極を再使用するためTi回転電極から貴金属を剥すのにヘラやハンマーを使用しても容易に剥離することができないという問題点があった。 Furthermore, the precious metal electrolysis recovery device of Patent Document 3 is considered to adhere to the Ti rotating electrode without peeling off, but the noble metal electrodeposited on the Ti rotating electrode is from the upper end over the entire surface of the electrode. Since the Ti rotating electrode is reused because it is tightly attached to the lower end, there has been a problem that even if a spatula or a hammer is used to peel the noble metal from the Ti rotating electrode, it cannot be easily peeled off.
 また、上記特許文献4に開示された有価金属回収装置は陰極として円筒形状のものを使用するのではなく円板状のものを使用する点で本願発明の電解回収装置と相違する。 Further, the valuable metal recovery device disclosed in Patent Document 4 is different from the electrolytic recovery device of the present invention in that it uses a disc-shaped one instead of a cylindrical one as a cathode.
 上記の円板状陰極は表面、裏面の両方へ金、銀等の貴金属が厚く電着されるため陰極から貴金属を剥すのにヘラやハンマーを使用しても容易に剥離することができないという問題点があった。 The above disk-shaped cathode has a problem that noble metals such as gold and silver are thickly electrodeposited on both the front and back surfaces, so that even if a spatula or hammer is used to peel the noble metal from the cathode, it cannot be easily peeled off. There was a point.

 以下、本発明について図面に従ってさらに詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
 本発明の金又は銀の電解回収装置を用いてまず電解銀を回収する場合を説明する。 First, the case where electrolytic silver is recovered using the gold or silver electrolytic recovery apparatus of the present invention will be described.
 図1は本発明に係る銀の電解回収装置の斜視図で、図2は、図1の電解回収装置における円筒状陰極の斜視図である。円筒状陰極3は、作業性、経済性等を勘案して直径250mm、高さ370mmの大きさのものが使用される。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a silver electrolytic recovery apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cylindrical cathode in the electrolytic recovery apparatus of FIG. The cylindrical cathode 3 has a diameter of 250 mm and a height of 370 mm in consideration of workability and economy.
 図1、図2に示すように、電解槽1は、制御装置2が一体となっていて、この制御装置2によって電流制御が行われている。電解槽1の内部中央部には、円筒状陰極3が電解槽1に固定されている陰極固定棒10を軸に回転するようにネジ13によって陰極固定棒10に固定されている。この円筒状陰極3は銀の析出が済んだ後、ネジ13を外すことにより電解槽1から容易に取り外しすることができる。また、円筒状陰極3の外周に対峙して(相対して)、陽極4が設置されている。ここでは、図1に示されているように、円筒状陰極3の四方を取り囲み、4つの陽極4が配設される。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrolytic cell 1 is integrated with a control device 2, and current control is performed by the control device 2. A cylindrical cathode 3 is fixed to the cathode fixing rod 10 by a screw 13 so as to rotate about the cathode fixing rod 10 fixed to the electrolytic cell 1 at the inner central portion of the electrolytic cell 1. The cylindrical cathode 3 can be easily removed from the electrolytic cell 1 by removing the screw 13 after the silver is deposited. In addition, the anode 4 is provided facing (relatively) the outer periphery of the cylindrical cathode 3. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, four anodes 4 are disposed surrounding four sides of the cylindrical cathode 3.
 本発明においては、円筒状陰極3へ析出した銀を簡単に剥離できるようにすること、および電解中に陰極から剥がれ落ちないよう円筒状陰極3に加工を施してあることが主たる特徴でもある。 In the present invention, the main characteristics are that the silver deposited on the cylindrical cathode 3 can be easily peeled off, and that the cylindrical cathode 3 is processed so as not to peel off from the cathode during electrolysis.
 すなわち、本発明の銀の電解回収装置における円筒状陰極3は、図2に示すように上面は蓋11によって覆われている。また、蓋11には複数のガス抜き孔12が設けられ、中央中心部には、陰極固定棒10へネジ13により固定する開口部が設けてある。 That is, the upper surface of the cylindrical cathode 3 in the silver electrolytic recovery apparatus of the present invention is covered with the lid 11 as shown in FIG. The lid 11 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 12, and an opening for fixing the cathode fixing rod 10 to the cathode 10 with a screw 13 is provided at the center.
 図3に示すように円筒状陰極3の下面には蓋はなく開口されている。そして円筒状陰極3の下縁部全周に亘り絶縁キャップ7が嵌着されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom surface of the cylindrical cathode 3 is opened without a lid. An insulating cap 7 is fitted over the entire circumference of the lower edge of the cylindrical cathode 3.
 一方、円筒状陰極3の外周表面5の縦方向一箇所には帯状絶縁材6が複数個間隙8を空けて着脱できるようにネジ9によって止めてある。 On the other hand, a plurality of strip-shaped insulating materials 6 are secured to one place in the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surface 5 of the cylindrical cathode 3 with screws 9 so that a plurality of gaps 8 can be attached and detached.
 帯状絶縁材6を間隙を空けずに連続して装着しておいた場合、析出した銀は、帯状絶縁材6を境にして陰極から剥離し、電解の途中で脱落しまうため間隙8を設けておくことが重要である。即ち、この間隙8は、円筒状陰極3の周辺に析出した銀が剥離するのを防止する間隙である。実施例1では間隙8は一箇所であるが、複数箇所設けることもできる。間隙8の好ましい範囲は1mm~10mm、好ましくは3~7mmである。1mm以下になると電解の途中で剥離してしまうので好ましくない、10mm以上になると剥離作業に手間がかかるので好ましくない。 When the strip-shaped insulating material 6 is continuously mounted without leaving a gap, the deposited silver peels off from the cathode with the strip-shaped insulating material 6 as a boundary and falls off during the electrolysis, so that a gap 8 is provided. It is important to keep That is, the gap 8 is a gap that prevents the silver deposited around the cylindrical cathode 3 from peeling off. In the first embodiment, the gap 8 is one place, but a plurality of places may be provided. The preferable range of the gap 8 is 1 mm to 10 mm, preferably 3 to 7 mm. If it is 1 mm or less, it is not preferable because it is peeled off during electrolysis, and if it is 10 mm or more, it is not preferable because it takes time for the peeling work.
 本発明において、円筒状陰極3を構成する材料としては、例えば、チタン、ステンレス等が挙げられる。また、陽極を構成する材料としては、網状チタンに白金又は白金合金をめっきしたものが挙げられる。 In the present invention, examples of the material constituting the cylindrical cathode 3 include titanium and stainless steel. Moreover, as a material which comprises an anode, what plated platinum or a platinum alloy on reticulated titanium is mentioned.
 本発明において、円筒状陰極3に析出した銀を剥離し易くするため円筒状陰極3に設ける絶縁キャップ7及び帯状絶縁材6を構成する材料としては、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート、ナイロン及びポリエステル等の合成樹脂、天然ゴム、ポリウレタンゴム、ニトリルゴム及びシリコンゴム等のゴムが挙げられる。 In the present invention, examples of materials constituting the insulating cap 7 and the strip-shaped insulating material 6 provided on the cylindrical cathode 3 in order to facilitate the peeling of silver deposited on the cylindrical cathode 3 include, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, nylon and polyester. And synthetic rubbers such as natural rubber, polyurethane rubber, nitrile rubber and silicone rubber.
 次に、本発明に係る銀の電解回収装置による銀を含有する廃液からの銀の回収について説明する。回収装置の対象となる廃液は、主にめっき工場から排出される使用後の銀めっき液或いは電子部品等から銀を溶解剥離した回収液である。 Next, recovery of silver from a waste liquid containing silver by the silver electrolytic recovery apparatus according to the present invention will be described. The waste liquid that is the target of the recovery apparatus is a recovered silver plating liquid or a recovered liquid obtained by dissolving and peeling silver from an electronic component or the like that is mainly discharged from a plating factory.
 まず、円筒状陰極3の下縁部全周に亘りポリエチレン製の絶縁キャップ7を嵌着する。更に円筒状陰極3の外周表面5の縦方向二箇所へ同じくポリエチレン製の帯状絶縁材6をネジ9によって固定する。その際、前記帯状絶縁材6は図2に示すようにつなぎ合わせないよう5mmの間隙8を設けておく、このように調製した円筒状陰極3は電解槽1の陰極固定棒10へネジ13により着装する。 First, a polyethylene insulating cap 7 is fitted over the entire periphery of the lower edge of the cylindrical cathode 3. Furthermore, a belt-like insulating material 6 made of polyethylene is similarly fixed to the longitudinal two outer peripheral surfaces 5 of the cylindrical cathode 3 with screws 9. At that time, as shown in FIG. 2, the strip-shaped insulating material 6 is provided with a gap 8 of 5 mm so as not to be joined. The cylindrical cathode 3 thus prepared is connected to the cathode fixing rod 10 of the electrolytic cell 1 with screws 13. Wear it.
 次いで、電解槽1へ銀回収廃液14を充填し、制御装置2の電源を入れ廃液中に含有する銀を電気分解により円筒状陰極3へ析出させた結果、間隙8に電解銀が析出されるためポリエチレン製帯状絶縁材6によってセパレートされた電解銀は、前記間隙8部分に析出した電解銀によって連通されているため銀は陰極から剥離、離脱することはなかつた。 Next, the silver recovery waste liquid 14 is filled in the electrolytic cell 1, the power of the control device 2 is turned on, and silver contained in the waste liquid is deposited on the cylindrical cathode 3 by electrolysis. As a result, electrolytic silver is deposited in the gap 8. For this reason, the electrolytic silver separated by the polyethylene strip-shaped insulating material 6 is communicated by the electrolytic silver deposited in the gap 8 portion, so that the silver was not peeled off or separated from the cathode.
 円筒状陰極3は電解槽1から取り出し、帯状絶縁材6のネジ9を外し、帯状絶縁材6を除去することによって析出した電解銀16は、図4に示すように円筒状陰極3から容易に剥離することができた。図4では、剥離した筒状の電解銀16の、間隙8の部分にあった切り離された断片部17(間隙部分に析出した電解銀)を示している。 The cylindrical cathode 3 is taken out from the electrolytic cell 1, and the electrolytic silver 16 deposited by removing the screw 9 of the strip-shaped insulating material 6 and removing the strip-shaped insulating material 6 is easily removed from the cylindrical cathode 3 as shown in FIG. It was possible to peel off. FIG. 4 shows the separated piece 17 (electrolytic silver deposited in the gap) of the peeled cylindrical electrolytic silver 16 in the gap 8.
 実施例2は、金の電解回収装置に関する実施例である。上記の実施例1の銀の電解回収装置の説明は、同様に、金の電解回収装置にも、適用できるもので、説明中の銀を金と換えるのみで、説明される。このため、重複記載を避けて、これ以上の記載はここでは省略する。 Example 2 is an example relating to a gold electrolytic recovery apparatus. The description of the electrolysis recovery apparatus for silver according to the first embodiment is also applicable to the electrolysis recovery apparatus for gold, and will be described only by replacing the silver being described with gold. For this reason, duplicate descriptions are avoided and further descriptions are omitted here.
