Abstract
Processing of the galena concentrates is developed as an effctive low-temperature leaching-electrowining method to produce Pb metal and elemental sulfur from galena concentrates. The method reduces Pb emissions and totally eliminates the formation of sulfur gases. The elemental S produced is more economical to store and ship than the sulfuric acid (H2SO4) generated by the high-temperature smelting process. This hydrometallurgical method consists of leaching galena concentrates in waste flu silicic acid or flu boric acid(H2SiF6 – HBO4) with oxidants at 95o, electrowinning the (PbSiF6) solution at different To to produce 99,99%Pb metal, and solvent extraction to recover S, leaving a residue containing eventually present Cu, Ag, and other metal values.Hence, a new approach of preparing PbSO4 from galena concentrates in the sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and ferric chloride media coupled with selective purification and chemical sedimentation was proposed.
