Title:
METHOD FOR SEPARATING RHENIUM AND ARSENIC, AND METHOD FOR PURIFYING RHENIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/129130
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to obtain rhenium with low-grade arsenic in a stable manner by separating and removing arsenic, as an impurity, in a stable state from raw materials containing rhenium and arsenic, and reducing the amount of arsenic circulating in a rhenium purification process. The present invention pertains to a method for separating rhenium and arsenic in a rhenium purification process in which: raw materials containing rhenium and arsenic are leached by oxidation, and separated into a leachate containing a perrhenate, arsenic acid and arsenous acid, and arsenate-containing leach residue; and rhenium from the leachate is purified. An alkali is then added to the leachate to obtain an arsenic-containing precipitate and a rhenium-containing solution; the rhenium is separated from the rhenium-containing solution that was obtained; an arsenic-containing solution and a hydroxide precipitation are obtained by adding an alkali to one or both of the arsenic-containing precipitate and arsenate-containing leach residue that were obtained, and the arsenic in the arsenic-containing solution that was obtained is fixed as a precipitate.
