Abstract:
      The new comprehensive utilization technology of copper slag by-product in zinc hydrometallurgy was investigated. The optimal leaching conditions including ratio of liquid to solid of 10∶1, leaching temperature of 80 ℃, leaching agent (sulfuric acid) concentration of 3.5 mol/L, and leaching time of 8 h. The copper concentration in lixivium reaches 30~45 g/L, and the copper leaching rate is higher than 98%. The copper concentration in stripping solution reaches 45~50 g/L after extraction, washing and three-stage cross-flow stripping of copper. The cathode copper can be produced with electrowinning process.
