Abstract
An oxidation-sulfidation process by potential control was proposed for the separation of the Cu from copper-smelting waste acid (CSWA). This process consists of two steps: the oxidation of As (III) and the sulfidation of Cu by potential control. For the oxidation step, the oxidation efficiency of As (III) reached 99.4% under the following optimal conditions: a potential of 820 mV, temperature of 25 °C, and reaction time of 10 min. Subsequently, Na2S solution was pumped to the oxidized-CSWA and 99.4% of the Cu and 1.8% of the As were precipitated under the following optimal conditions: a potential of 508 mV, temperature of 25 °C, initial pH of 1.0, and reaction time of 30 min. It is confirmed that, the oxidation of As is the pre-requisite step for the selective separation of the Cu from CSWA via the sulfidation process. Therefore, the novel process realized a selective separation of the Cu, as well as provided an alternative option for the treatment of non-ferrous smelting waste acid.
