21/12/1993· A method of increasing the extraction of tellurium from copper electrorefining slime comprises leaching the slime with dilute sulphuric acid in a reactor under a partial oxygen pressure of up to 150 psi and at an elevated temperature between about 100° and 200° C. until copper, nickel and substantially all of the tellurium is dissolved, thereby forming a leach slurry, and contacting the
17/08/1999· Copper and lead electrorefining slimes are a major source of tellurium. Tellurium is a nuisance element that must be removed to recover precious metals from copper slimes. For the overall slime treatment process efficiency, it is important to extract as much tellurium as possible. Such extraction is typically carried out in autoclaves. Any tellurium not removed in the autoclave goes to the

Electrorefining of Copper 1. Electrorefining – General Introduction In an electrorefining process, the anode is the impure metal and the impurities must be lost during the passage of the metal from the anode to the cathode during electrolysis, i.e. the electrode reactions are, at the anode: M → Mn+ + ne-and at the cathode: Mn+ + ne-→ M Electrorefining is a much more common process than

The present invention is concerned with a method for the substantially selective extraction of tellurium from copper electrorefining slimes. The method comprises maintaining a molar ratio Ag/Se, Ag/S or Ag/Se+S at a value of about 2 or less in the slimes during leaching thereof in an autoclave. The excess of selenium and/or sulphur allows the formation of Ag.sub.2 Se or Ag.sub.2 S, which
In all the anodes, the major tellurium carrier is the Cu 2 Se-Cu 2 Te phase which occurs as a constituent of complex inclusions at the copper grain boundaries. In tellurium-rich anodes, the molar tellurium content of the Cu 2 Se-Cu 2 Te phase can exceed that of selenium. Although >85 pct of the tellurium occurs as the Cu 2 Se-Cu 2 Te phase, minor amounts are present in Cu-Pb-As-Bi-Sb oxide, Cu
01/07/2013· From the constructed E h-pH diagram of the Cu–Te–Se–H 2 O system, the thermodynamic conditions of selective leaching of tellurium and selenium can be evaluated. However, the behavior of the other species was not considered in the leaching process. Thus, the heterogeneous thermodynamic equilibrium simulation is conducted based on Gibbs free energy minimization, using the Factsage

In the final stage of Cu production, the pure Cu (99.99% purity) is produced by electrorefining, while the precious metals are separated and recovered by hydrometallurgical processes. There are only a few companies globally whose main objective is the extraction of metals from e-waste, namely, Umicore, Noranda, Boliden, Kosaka, Kayser, and Metallo-Chimique [38] .
