Abstract
In this work, by using the sintering filtrated dust (SFD) from ferrous metallurgy as a raw material, the process of separating and recovering trace silver, including the steps of complexation leaching by Na2S2O3-CuCl, purification by hydrogen peroxide, and precipitation transformation, was researched and developed. The process is characterized by a high leaching selectivity and a high recovery. The recommended conditions for leaching trace silver from SFD were as follows: a leaching time of 120 min, a leaching temperature of 60 °C, a solid-liquid ratio of 6 L/kg, a Na2S2O3 concentration of 45 g/L, and a CuCl dosage of 5.0 g/L. Through a two-step hydrogen peroxide process, removal of the impurity ions Cu and Pb and high-efficiency recovery of trace silver were realized. The purity of the silver sulfide product obtained from the recovery was 97.0%, and the total silver recovery was 80.1%. In addition, the reaction mechanism of the recovery process was investigated in this work, and effective removal of impurity ions was realized by regulating the reaction time.
期刊介绍:
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
