Abstract: A laboratory-scale method for treating bulk concentrate for reclaiming lead and silver was developed utilizing new hydrometallurgical technology as an alternative to the traditional pyrometallurgical processing. The condition experiments of every chief segment in the whole flowsheet have been systematically investigated, and then the whole hydrometallurgical processing flowsheet was determined. The main contents are followed as: Bulk concentrate was treated using pressure leaching in autoclave, the optimal leaching conditions were determined. The elemental sulphur was deprived from the pressure leaching residue using flotation-distillation. Carbonate conversion -silicofluoric acid leaching on flotation gangue containing lead sulfate using hydrometallurgy was carried. And Leaching silver using thiourea from the residue was carried after extracting lead. Through the whole hydrometallurgy flowsheet, the reclaiming of lead and silver was actualized.

Abstract: The electrochemical formation of Al-Mg master alloys were investigated in NaCl-MgF2-MgO melt at 850°C. The results revealed that cell voltage was nearly constant during electrolysis process, Mg content in Al-Mg master alloys increased with increasing of electrolysis time when Mg content was less 7.03mass%, Mg content in Al-Mg master alloys can be up to 7.03mass% for 4h electrolysis. The results of XRD indicated that phase structure of the Al-7.03Mg mass% alloy existed single phase α-Al, MgCl2 and NaMgF3 in electrolyte were observed after electrolysis. And the formation mechanism of Al-Mg master alloy was discussed as well.
