Method for removing chlorine in zinc hydrometallurgy

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for removing chlorine from a process solution in zinc hydrometallurgy, the method comprising: a step for preparing the process solution from a leaching process of leaching a zinc calcine; a step for introducing the process solution to a reactor and introducing a lead concentrate into the reactor while blowing-in oxygen; a step for solid-liquid separating of a slurry in a filtration tank, the slurry being produced in the reactor; and a step for post-processing a filtrate and a lead concentrate residue separated in the step for solid-liquid separating, wherein chlorine ions in the process solution and silver contained in the lead concentrate react with each other in the reactor to precipitate a silver chloride.
