Abstract:Crude selenium was prepared from sintering dust of lead-zinc mix concentration using two-step leaching technology and reduction-extraction selenium by sulfur dioxide gas .The results shows that ,in the process of separation zinc and cadmium from materials via dilute sulfuric acid leaching route w hen the condition of liquid-solid ratio and leaching time are controlled well ,the leaching rate of Zn and Cd can be a-chieved up to 98 .5, and 99 .1, ,respectively .In the process of oxidation-leaching of selenium w hile sodi-um nitrate as oxidant ,the leaching rate of Se is above 94, w hen the optimum operation parameters are de-termined as follow s :temperature of 80 ℃ ,stirring speed of 150 r/min and ratio of liquid to solid of 5︰1 , sulfuric acid concentration of 2 .0 mol/L .T he reduction rate of selenium reaches 95, under the reductive temperature is 80 ℃ and the reaction time is 100 min w hile sulfur dioxide gas as the reducing agent .In the w hole process under optimum conditions ,the recovery rate of selenium is above 89 .42, ,and the ultimate selenium content in the crude selenium is 89 .2,.
