Lead pyrorefining leads to large dross volumes, often several percents of the bullion weight per refinery step. This results in large flows of materials circulating in the plant and reducing capacity.
Oxygen softening of lead bullion is used at Teck Comincos Trail smelter to reduce the level of arsenic and antimony in crude bullion to make a product suitable for anode refining.
FIELD nonferrous metallurgy. SUBSTANCE invention is dealing with refining of black lead to remove antimony, arsenic, and tin impurities. For that end, impurities are oxidized by stirring lead-alkali melt and simultaneously feeding oxygen at controlled flow rate 7-10 Lmin. Stirring of melt is performed with the aid of paddle agitator rotated at speed corresponding to Reynolds criterion value ...
Feb 28, 2016 The name bullion is restricted to the precious metals, refined or unrefined, in bars or ingots that contain small contaminants. For many years, the term bullion made reference to coins and the name base-bullion is for pig-lead or copper bottoms obtained in smelting operations of lead and copper concentrates.
Apr 22, 2017 Lead Refining Process. The building is a lofty, well-ventilated one of hardwood frame, with galvanized-iron walls and roof, and consists of five spans running north and south, covering a total length of 230 ft. Each span is composed of nine bays of 13
Then the lead bullion can be put into lead refining kettle, with 99.985 purity lead liquid and then cast into lead ingots. Or the crude lead can also be put into lead electro-refining process, the lead purity can reach 99.99 purity and the precious metal in the anode slime can be collected and recycled, which can give client good economic ...
Mar 24, 2016 The how-to method of removing oxidisable metals by means of an oxidising agent has been practised for centuries. The operation has already been described in the cementation process with nitre, and the gaseous method of removing antimony from gold. The ordinary cupellation operations are also on the same lines.
Apr 05, 2018 Generally, removal of antimony from high-antimony lead bullion was treated in reference to the refining process of crude lead with lower antimony content.
