Experimental Study on Selective Leaching Separation and Recovery of Copper from Zinc-Copper Alloy Ash
Zinc-copper alloy ash contains Cu,Zn,Al,Ni,Sn,Pb and other non-ferrous metals.In this paper,the effective treatment of zinc-copper ash in different particle size ranges is realized by screening.The effects of sulfuric acid content,temperature,time,liquid-solid ratio,rotation speed,oxidant and roasting conditions on the selective leaching of different metals were investigated.The results show that the zinc-copper ash with particle size less than 0.15 mm is calcined at 750 ℃ for 3 hours,and then leached at 85 ℃,sulfuric acid content of 1.2 g/g ash,liquid-to-solid ratio of 5/1,stirring speed of 400 r/min,H2O2 0.075 mL/g ash for 5 h.The removal rate of zinc is 93.40%,and the removal rate of copper is 0.23%.Compared with the initial copper ash,the ZnO in the copper ash after roasting and leaching is greatly reduced.The leaching residue was mixed with copper slag with a particle size of 0.15~0.25 mm,roasted at 750 ℃ for 4 hours,and then washed with 2 mol/L sulfuric acid solution for 5 hours and washed with water under the same conditions.The steps can remove a large number of impurity metal elements in the copper slag.The phase composition of the copper slag after pickling is mainly Cu,and the proportion of Cu elements reach 92.52%.
