Abstract: A method for preparing high-purity metallic arsenic from arsenic-containing solid waste through a short flow process is provided. The method includes: performing oxidative alkaline leaching on nonferrous metallurgy arsenic-containing solid waste to obtain an arsenic-containing alkaline leaching solution; sequentially adding a mixed ammonium magnesium reagent consisting of a carboxyl and/or hydroxy-containing water-soluble macromolecular organic matter, a magnesium compound and an ammonium compound, and a hydrophobic macromolecular organic matter having a periodic geometric structure into the arsenic-containing alkaline leaching solution, and taking a reaction under stirring to obtain complex arsenate crystals cladded with an organic matter; and roasting the complex arsenate crystals cladded with the organic matter, then mixing the roasted complex arsenate crystals cladded with the organic matter with carbon powder, performing reduction roasting, and recycling metallic arsenic from smoke through condensation.
