Summary: | This paper focused on investigating high-efficient reductants of recovering selenium and tellurium from degoldized solution of copper anode slimes. Firstly, the effect of various reductants on recovery rates of Se and Te was investigated based on thermodynamic analysis of various metallic ions in degoldized solution. Secondly, the single factor experiments were made to investigate the effect of the process parameters on recovering Se and Te with hydrazine hydrate. Finally, the hydroxylamine hydrochloride was added to intensify the extraction efficiencies of Se and Te. The results indicated that hydrazine hydrate was the most suitable reductant, and the recovery rates of Se and Te are 71.23% and 76.50%, respectively; the recovery rates of Se and Te were 92.07% and 97.81%, respectively, under the optimal process conditions of hydrazine hydrate dosage of 0.2133 mol/L, H+ concentration of 4.305 mol/L, reaction temperature of 85 °C and reaction time of 5 h; the recovery rate of Se was 97.59%, and that Te reached up to 100% when hydroxylamine hydrochloride dosage was 1.5116 mol/L. |
