    摘要: Cd-112 isotope is recycled from a Cd-112 chemical separated solution or a remainder of an electroplating solution having a Cd-112 target. The present invention recycles Cd-112 isotope with a low cost, a high purity and a high recycle rate. The recycled Cd-112 isotope can be easily stored. And, the Cd-112 isotope can be used as an imaging agent in nuclear medicine.

    摘要: A hydrometallurgical process utilizing an atmospheric calcium chloride leach to selectively recover from various metal feed stocks (consisting of elemental metals, metal oxides, metal ferrite, metal hydroxide, metal carbonates, metal sulfate/sulfur compounds, and their hydrates, specifically including but not limited to EAF Dust K061) zinc, lead, cadmium, silver, copper and other valuable metals to the exclusion of iron, magnesium, halogen salts and other unwanted elements. The process solves the problem of iron and magnesium leach solution contamination because iron is unexpectedly converted to magnetite. The heavy metals are cemented out of solution using zinc or other selected dust at a pH of 6 or greater under unique and unexpected conditions, which do not require acid. Simonkolleite/zinc- oxychloride/zinc-hydroxide is produced from the purified zinc chloride complex pregnant leach solution and is converted directly to high purity active rubber grade 99+% zinc oxide having small particle size and high surface area. The products are metal concentrates suitable for: metal refiner/processors, production of elemental metal, or other conversion processes. The process removes Arsenic and Fluorides in the feed material. The process also solves the problem of chloride contamination in the zinc oxide and prevents heavy metal contaminants in the hydrometallurgically produced zinc oxide derived from feed stocks containing chlorides or when chlorides are used to leach the metal bearing feed stocks. In one embodiment, calcium and/or magnesium compounds are added to the iron bearing waste to increase the recovery of zinc and other non-ferrous metals and to produce an iron bearing flux. The process is environmentally friendly and fully recycles all streams.

    摘要: A process for the treatment of an aqueous stream containing an acid or base and typically a precipitatable material such as a metal ion comprises:(a) subjecting the aqueous stream to (i) a treatment to produce a relatively pure stream of water and a concentrated aqueous stream, and (ii) water splitting to produce a stream of base, a stream of acid and a dilute aqueous stream of a concentration lower than the concentrated aqueous stream, the treatments (i) and (ii) being effected in either order,(b) recycling at least part of the pure water stream produced in (a)(i) to an earlier stream either in the production leading to said aqueous stream or to step (i) or (ii),(c) recycling at least part of the acid and/or base streams produced in (a)(ii) to an earlier stream either in the production leading to said aqueous stream or to an earlier step in the process, and(d) recycling at least part of the lower concentration stream produced in (a)(ii) to either (a)(i) or to another step in the process, whereby, when present, only the precipitatable material is removed from the aqueous stream, thereby obviating toxic waste disposal problems.

    摘要: The invention provides a process for extracting a base metal from a base metal bearing ore or concentrate which includes forming a slurry of the ore or concentrate with an electrolyte containing chloride ions and copper ions, oxygenating the mixture and maintaining the pH of the mixture from 1.5 to 7.0. Iron impurities will be substantially precipitated as ferric oxide and may be recovered, sulphide sulphur will be converted to elemental form and can be recovered and the base metal is taken into solution. The base metal can be recovered by electrolysis which can also produce hydrogen ions for pH maintenance. The copper ions can be precipitated by the addition of fresh ore or concentrate and can be recycled. The process is preferably carried out in a counter-current manner in which electrolyte containing increasing amounts of the base metal in solution is conveyed counter-current to solids which decrease in base metal content. The process is particularly applicable to lead, zinc or lead-zinc ores or concentrates.
