pyrometallurgical process for lead refining

Aug 23, 2021 The pyrometallurgical Lead refining process is one of the most important procedures of lead battery recycling. This process is also known as “Softening of Lead” because the metal is softened after the removal of some impurities which are present in the raw lead coming from lead battery recycling.It would be more correct to call only the process of antimony, arsenic and tin removing

Jun 06, 2014 Antimonial dust is a by-product of lead smelting and an important material for extracting antimony. A new pyrometallurgical process for producing antimony white from the antimonial dust is reported. The process mainly consists of three steps, which are reduction smelting, alkaline refining, and blowing oxidation. First, the reduction smelting of antimonial dust is carried out in an oxygen-rich

Jun 02, 2008 In refining electrolysis in hexafluorosilic acid with current densities of 100 A/m2, it is possible to separate bismuth and antimony from prerefined lead bullion. Pure lead with less than 50 ppm bismuth and less than 100 ppm antimony was deposited at the cathode. The current efficiency was 99%, and the specific energy consumption was 30–40 kWh/t

Pyrometallurgical Refining Pyrometallurgical Refining is performed in liquid phase, which means that the crude Lead must be melted to temperatures from 327 C (Lead fusion point) to 650 C. As a general trend, the process is performed in batches of 20 to 100 tons, according to the refining plant capacity. The chemical concept behind the refining process is the addition of specific reagents to the molten Lead

The Parkes zinc-desilvering process is the most widely used pyrometallurgical method of refining lead bullion. As in smelting, the lead is first melted and again allowed to cool below the freezing point of copper, which crystallizes and, along with any remaining nickel, cobalt, and zinc, is removed by skimming. The lead mix then passes to a
