Abstract

The smelting process of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) affords various types of dusts, which often contain high concentrations of arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) introduced into the system from raw materials. These dusts also contain economically valuable elements such as bismuth, tin and tellurium. Herein, we explored an efficient As removal method to facilitate the comprehensive recovery of valuable metals from dusts produced during Pb and Zn smelting. As- and Sb-bearing dust produced during the Pb-Zn smelting process was subjected to alkaline oxidative pressure leaching. The total leaching efficiency of As (measured from both the leaching and washing solutions) increased to 98.26%, whereas that of Sb was < 0.5%. During the reaction, trivalent As was oxidised to pentavalent As, which transformed into sodium arsenate (Na3AsO4·10H2O). As the solubility of Na3AsO4·10H2O reduces in highly alkaline solutions, this led to its precipitation and a corresponding reduction in the leaching efficiency of As. However, after washing, the alkalinity of the solution changed, facilitating the dissolution of Na3AsO4·10H2O. In addition, under high alkalinity, Sb converts to sodium antimonate. Furthermore, at low alkalinity, the solubility behaviours of Na3AsO4·10H2O and sodium antimonate are inversely related, facilitating their effective separation.

铅锌冶炼粉尘中砷锑的选择性分离机理
铅(Pb)和锌(Zn)的冶炼过程产生各种类型的粉尘,这些粉尘通常含有高浓度的砷(As)和锑(Sb),这些砷(As)和锑(Sb)是从原材料引入系统的。这些粉尘还含有经济上有价值的元素,如铋、锡和碲。在此,我们探索了一种高效的砷去除方法,以促进铅和锌冶炼过程中产生的粉尘中有价金属的综合回收。对铅锌冶炼过程中产生的含砷和含锑粉尘进行了碱性氧化压力浸出。砷的总浸出效率(从浸出液和洗涤液中测量)提高到98.26%,而Sb的总浸出效率为0.5%。在反应过程中,三价砷被氧化为五价砷,转化为砷酸钠(Na3AsO4·10H2O)。Na3AsO4·10H2O在高碱性溶液中的溶解度降低,导致其析出,相应降低了As的浸出效率。但洗涤后,溶液的碱度发生变化,有利于Na3AsO4·10H2O的溶解。此外,Sb在高碱度下转化为锑酸钠。此外,在低碱度下,Na3AsO4·10H2O和锑酸钠的溶解行为呈负相关,有利于它们的有效分离。
