In order to completely eliminate lead smelting pollution produced by Fire, national metallurgical workers carried out a long-term study of wet smelting of lead, which is more successful are: galena US Bureau of Mines conducted three ferric chloride leaching - molten salt electrolysis Preparation of metallic lead test [1]; Forward et al [2] in the organic ammonium pressurized system galena oxidized to lead sulfate, and then through the carbon dioxide gas to precipitate lead carbonate, and then low-temperature melting, the Test for reduction of lead carbonate to metallic lead; Bratt [3] conducted tests for leaching lead oxide and lead sulfate with high-concentration ammonia-ammonium sulfate solution, and then producing metal lead by precipitation, dissolution, electrolysis, and the like. However, due to the complexity of the process, the corrosiveness of the medium, and the high production cost, these methods have not yet reported industrialization. 1 Ton Mini Excavator,Hydraulic Mini Excavator,Rc Hydraulic Excavator,Farm Mini Excavator Shandong Hexu Engineering Machinery Co.,Ltd , https://www.sdhxmachinery.com
Lu Keyuan of the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully studied the carbonation conversion lead-smelting process in the 1980s [4 , 5] . The process has the following characteristics:
(1) The process is simple, the operating conditions are mild, and it is easy to industrialize.
(2) It has strong adaptability to ore, comprehensive utilization, and can handle low-grade lead ore and multi-metal complex lead ore.
(3) High metal recovery rate, diversified products (metal lead and various lead chemical products), and good economic returns.
(4) For the all-wet operation, the three wastes are basically eliminated.
