Abstract

Recycling and harmless treatment of zinc leaching residue is always an important problem in zinc hydrometallurgy. At present, the common method to dispose of zinc leaching residue is the flotation–heat filtration process, but the extraction of valuable components and the removal of toxic substances are not ideal. This paper mainly studies the process of treating zinc leaching residue by cavitation and dissociation technology. Through the process optimization test, the control technology of zinc leaching residue monomer is formed. The temperature of the reactor can indirectly affect the distribution and diameter of the cavitation bubbles required in the process of cavitation and dissociation, which is an important factor affecting the effect of cavitation and dissociation. The air inlet flow rate affects the cavitation and dissociation process by affecting the flow field distribution and the gas phase volume fraction distribution. Reducing the pulp concentration can accelerate the cavitation and dissociation process. The ultrasonic physical field has a good effect on the decomposition of zinc leaching residue in the full particle size range. The optimum conditions of 80°C reactor temperature, 6 × 10−5 kg L−1 gas flow, 5 g L−1 pulp concentration, and air as gas phase input meet this standard. The recovery rate of sulfur was 85.4%.
