Read MoreThis invention relates to a method of purifying sulfuric acid containing copper electrolytic solution circulated in a copper electrorefining system in which crude copper is electrolytically refined to high purity electrolytic copper in particular, this invention relates to a method of purifying a circulating copper electrolytic solution with removal of metals such as copper, arsenic, antimony, bismuth and the like, which gradually build up in the solution. this invention relates to a purifying method by which such metals, and especially nickel, can be separated and recovered.
Read MoreA method of purifying a copper electrolytic solution circulated in a copper electrorefining system, wherein a portion of the solution is withdrawn and recycled to the system after purification treatment. the purification treatment includes the addition of a hydrosulfide to the withdrawn solution to generate only the necessary quantity of hydrogen sulfide gas required in the reaction.
Read MoreIn view of the above, the object of this invention is to establish an industrially feasible method for purifying a copper electrolytic solution being circulated in a copper electrorefining system. such a method replaces the electrowinning-dependent separation method of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth which evolves highly toxic arsine gas. such a method further renders unnecessary the transport and storage of large quantities of highly toxic, high-priced hydrogen sulfide gas, and assures safe operation.
Read MoreAfter intensive research focusing upon replacing the separation method of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth dependent upon electrowinning and evolving highly toxic arsine gas, attention was paid to the potential utility of the method of precipitating and separating these metals as sulfides. as stated above, however, the blowing of hydrogen sulfide gas into an electrolytic solution to precipitate and remove these metals as sulfides necessitates the transporting and handling of large quantities of highly toxic hydrogen sulfide, leaving the method industrially unfeasible.
Read MoreIt is preferable to divide the copper electrolytic solution after having recovered almost all of the copper from the electrolytic solution withdrawn by electrowinning. it is better to pass the copper electrolytic solution through an ion exchange resin to separate a portion of antimony andor bismuth, by allowing it to adsorb on the resin, before recovering the copper in the electrolytic solution withdrawn by electrowinning. it is also recommended to heat the electrolytic solution to evaporate water and to precipitate and separate copper as copper sulfate.
Read MoreHowever, in the above method, as copper, arsenic antimony, and bismuth are separated and removed from the first divided portion of the solution in the form of sulfides upon the addition of sodium hydrosulfide, part of the nickel content too is separated and removed as nickel sulfide. while nickel is an impurity from the viewpoint of purification, nickel is a valuable metal and its high rate separation and recovery as nickel sulfide from the system is desirable.
Read MoreIn view of the above, the research has been further continued to provide a method whereby nickel can be separated and recovered at a high rate from the circulated copper electrolytic solution in a copper electrorefining system established for the production of high purity electrolytic copper from crude copper.

Read More2 when sodium hydrosulfide is added to the copper electrolytic solution after the separation and removal of sulfide of copper, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth, nickel can be separated and recovered as nickel sulfide. the proportion of nickel is not large, with few impurities other than sulfur. the recovered nickel sulfide, once freed from excess sulfur, would generally have a high enough quality level to be directly put on the market as a final product.
Read MoreIt is also possible, after the separation and recovery of nickel, as nickel sulfide, to add slaked lime or calcium carbonate to the copper electrolytic solution. sulfuric acid in the solution reacts with lime or calcium carbonate to form gypsum. it is then possible to separate and remove the gypsum from the solution. thereafter sodium carbonate or caustic soda is added and the separation and recovery of residual nickel from the solution--as nickel carbonate or nickel hydroxide, respectively,--can be accomplished.
