  • Publication number: 20240375177
    Abstract: Provided are a vacuum distillation furnace, and a method for preparing high-purity copper particles. In view of the fact that high-purity copper prepared by the traditional method in the current industrial production has an unsatisfactory purity, a high impurity content, and a complicated composition, a vacuum distillation method is adopted. During the vacuum distillation method, most of valuable metals in a copper matrix are volatilized and enter into a gas phase, such that the metals are separated from the copper matrix, thereby allowing the purification of copper; and copper powder particles volatilized to a condensation plate have a smooth surface and a purity of 5 N grade or more.

  • Publication number: 20240375956
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removing impurity mercury from crude selenium. The method includes: mixing a vulcanizing agent with a crude selenium slag that is crushed to not more than 200 mesh uniformly, and performing briquetting to obtain a mixed material; adding the mixed material into a sealed furnace, and subjecting the mixed material to vulcanization by heating under an inert atmosphere to obtain a vulcanized selenium; subjecting the vulcanized selenium to primary vacuum distillation, such that selenium is converted into a gas phase and collected in a form of a volatile, and generated mercury sulfide and valuable elements are enriched in a resulting residue; and subjecting the selenium to secondary distillation to further remove mercury.

  • Publication number: 20240328022
    Abstract: This invention presents an electrochemical metallurgical technique for extracting metals and sulfur from metal sulfides, offering an adjustable composition and mechanical properties during electrode preparation. The metal sulfide anode, submerged in an electrolyte with a cathode made of materials like titanium, copper, stainless steel, lead, zinc, aluminum or graphite, undergoes electrolysis. This process oxidizes sulfur in the metal sulfide to the anode and releases metal ions into the electrolyte, where they're reduced at the cathode. The method yields metal at the cathode and sulfur at the anode, with minimal environmental impact, low investment, and straightforward process.

  • Publication number: 20240287644
    Abstract: Provided is a recovery method for valuable metals in copper anode slime. By using the recovery method of the disclosure, selenium, copper, tellurium, arsenic, lead, bismuth, and precious metals gold and silver in the copper anode slime are recovered. The method adopts two-step vacuum carbothermal reduction to replace reduction smelting of anode slime and stepwise blowing of noble lead in the traditional pyrometallurgy, and avoids the emission of arsenic-containing soot in the traditional process. The recovered gold-rich residue contains almost no base metals such as lead, bismuth, antimony, and arsenic. After subjecting the gold-rich residue to leaching gold by chlorination and reduction, a gold powder could be obtained therefrom with a lower content of base metals than traditional processes. Therefore, the method greatly reduces the amount of produced slag, shortens the production cycle, and reduces the loss of precious metals in the slag.
