Abstract

The invention relates to the field of efficient separation and recovery of bromine by full wet method, especially to a two-step separating method of bromide and recovery of lead and zinc from printed circuit board Incineration ash. It mainly includes first sodium hydroxide alkaline leaching, secondary sodium peroxide alkaline leaching, pH adjustment, separate lead and zinc, bromide evaporation and crystallization to recover crude bromide and other steps. Compared with traditional comprehensive recovery process of ash, the invention uses sodium hydroxide to dissolve bromide, lead and zinc, and uses the strong oxidation of sodium peroxide in alkaline environment, copper bromide and other bromine are oxidized and leached; through two-step method, the efficient leaching of bromine, lead and zinc is realized, silver and other precious metals are enriched at the same time. It is beneficial to subsequent recovery of precious metals and has the characteristics of short tail liquid discharge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of separating and recovering bromine from a circuit board incineration ash by a two-step process:
(1) a first alkali leaching process comprising: placing the circuit board incineration ash in a sodium hydroxide solution, filtering the solution of sodium hydroxide containing the circuit board incineration ash to obtain a first leaching residue and a first leaching solution;
(2) a secondary alkali leaching process comprising: adding water to the first leaching residue obtained in step (1), and filtering to obtain a secondary leaching residue and a secondary leaching solution;
(3) a lead and zinc removal process comprising: combining the first leaching solution obtained in step (1) and the secondary leaching solution obtained in step (2) to obtain a combined leaching solution, a mass ratio of the first leaching solution to the secondary leaching solution is 1:3-3:1, adding 98% industrial concentrated sulfuric acid to the combined leaching solution until a pH of the combined leaching solution reaches 6.5-8, filtering the combined leaching solution to obtain a lead-zinc removal residue and a lead-zinc removal solution;
(4) a bromide evaporation and crystallization process comprising: conducting evaporation and crystallization of the lead-zinc removal solution obtained in step (3), to obtain a crude bromide;
(5) a lead separation process comprising: adding the lead-zinc removal residue obtained in step (3) into water to produce a solid-liquid ratio of the lead-zinc removal residue and water of 1:1-1:2 Kg/L, adding 98% industrial concentrated sulfuric acid while stirring until the pH reaches 4.5-6; filtering to obtain lead sulfate and a lead separation solution;
