Abstract

Purification on the leaching solution of the crude zinc oxide obtained by the reduction of EAF dust has been carried out. Pb and Cd ions in the leaching solution were precipitated and removed from the solution by the addition of zinc metal powder. The purification condition for electrowinning to obtain the high purity zinc metal was investigated by analyzing the effects of Pb and Cd ion concentrations on the contents of impurities in the recovered zinc metal. The 3 N purity zinc metal was obtained at the electrolysis condition of the concentrations of Pb less than 2 ppm and Cd less than 0.1 ppm in the purified solution. For this purification, the amounts of zinc metal powder more than 8.5 g/l should be added in the crude zinc oxide leached solution.

전기로제강분진을 환원휘발시켜 얻은 조산화아연을 염화암모늄용액으로 침출, 전해채취하여 99.9％(3-Nine) 이상의 고순도금속아연을 회수하기 위하여 침출용액 중의 Pb 및 Cd 불순원소이온들의 석출, 제거에 관한 기초실험을 수행하였다. Pb 및 Cd 이온 등의 석출, 제거는 금속아연분말의 첨가에 의한 cementation 반응을 이용하였으며, 정제된 용액을 전해액으로 사용한 전해채취실험을 수행하여 정액 중의 Pb 및 Cd 이온농도가 회수되는 금속아연 중의 Pb 및 Cd 함량에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 3N 이상의 고순도금 속아연 회수를 위한 정액조건을 조사, 검토하였다. Pb 및 Cd 이온농도가 각각 2ppm 및 0.1 ppm 이하인 정액을 전해액으로 사용할 때 3N 이상의 고순도금속아연을 회수할 수 있었으며, 이때 침출용액의 정액에 필요한 금속아연분말 첨가량은 8.5g/l 이상으로 조사되었다. 또한 정액과정에서 금속아연분말 첨가 시 용액의 Eh 변화를 측정하여 Eh 변화에 의한 금속아연분말첨가량의 제어가능성을 검토하였다.
