In order to recover gold and precious metals other than gold from the precious metal-containing waste liquid containing iodine, it is common to reduce and deposit the precious metals with a reducing agent such as hydrazine or sodium borohydride. Since the noble metal is precipitated, the noble metal is obtained in a form in which gold and another noble metal are mixed, and there is a problem in that the operation of separating and refining the noble metal takes time. The free iodine component that is contained in the precious metal-containing waste containing iodine (I 2 and I 3 -)
Since noble metals do not precipitate unless all of these are decomposed, there is a problem that noble metals cannot be recovered unless a large amount of reducing agent is used.

In addition, it loses its ability to dissolve noble metals due to its strong alkaline nature.

If the pH of the noble metal-containing waste liquid is 12 or less, no reaction of the type 1 occurs, and gold cannot be deposited. Further, since the reaction of the two formulas does not occur, a free iodine component capable of oxidizing and dissolving the noble metal is present in the noble metal-containing waste liquid.
The conditions for depositing gold may be pH = 12 or more, and preferably in the range of 12.5 to 14.5.

When precious metals are recovered by conventional operations, the concentration ratio of each noble metal in the precious metal-containing waste liquid containing the original iodine determines the quality of the obtained gold. Although it is necessary to repeat the refining operation several times, in the present invention, gold can be selectively precipitated even when the ratio of other noble metal components is large, and a high-quality gold can be obtained. The labor for refining gold is reduced.

As the chemical reducing agent, in addition to the above-described hydrazine and sodium borohydride, there are many such as magnesium, aluminum, and metal reducing agents such as zinc powder.
Since the pH of the waste liquid containing the noble metal is set to 12 or more, there is no particular problem as long as the waste liquid can reduce the noble metal under these conditions. The noble metal may be deposited on the cathode by electrolysis, and the remaining noble metal can be recovered by the above operation.

Under the condition of pH 12 or less, noble metal will not be deposited unless all free iodine components (I 2 and I 3 ) contained in the noble metal-containing waste liquid containing iodine are decomposed. Since the pH is adjusted to pH 12 or higher in advance in the operation for precipitation, the free iodic acid component becomes iodide ions according to the formula (2) and loses the ability to oxidize noble metals.
In addition, the oxidation-reduction potential changes, and iodic acid is not decomposed unless the noble metal is precipitated. Therefore, when the reducing agent is added, the iodic acid partially decomposes after the precipitation of the noble metal.
In the actual reaction, iodic acid is partially decomposed together with the precipitation of the noble metal, but it is not necessary to decompose all free iodine components as in the past, and in the present invention, noble metal is decomposed even if not all iodate is decomposed. Since it can be deposited and recovered, chemical efficiency and electric efficiency are improved.

The pH may decrease with the use of the reducing agent,
When it is less than 12, the usage of chemicals increases. Therefore, the reduction and precipitation of the noble metal should have a pH not lower than 12, preferably 1
It is carried out under the condition of 2.5 to 14.5, and the condition is 0.03 to 3N in terms of alkali normality.

Since the liquid volume of the iodine etching waste liquid after gold deposition increased from 155 to 162 as a result of the solid-liquid separation operation, it was analyzed to be 0.46 g / gold, 2.1 g / silver, and oxidized as iodate ions. The reduction normality increased to 0.35 N due to the addition of the iodate ion which was purified when gold was deposited, in addition to the redox normality as free iodine which had been previously possessed.

4 equivalents) and 1.5 equivalents required to recover gold and silver are added. 4.68 equivalents of hydrated hydrazine, equivalent to 1.2 times 3.9 equivalents, can be used to reduce all precious metals. Since it could not be performed, 2.34 equivalents were further added to reduce and precipitate gold and silver in the iodine etching waste liquid containing the noble metal. The precipitated gold and silver were filtered, washed and dried, and then analyzed. The total weight was 109.1 g, which contained 79.8% of gold, 19.8% of silver, and 0.4% of other impurities. g and 21.6 g of silver were recovered.

The amount of gold recovered is high in the proportion of gold. If the nitric acid distribution method is used as in Example 1, silver cannot be dissolved and gold and silver cannot be separated, so 100 g of copper and 220 g of copper are used. Once melted in a crucible and then reduced to a gold grade of 25% by forming a gold-silver-copper alloy,
When nitric acid 1.0 was added and the mixture was separated into gold and silver by the nitric acid separation method, it could be separated into pure gold and a solution of silver nitrate in which a large amount of copper was dissolved.

1. A method for separating and recovering gold and a noble metal other than gold from a waste liquid containing a noble metal containing free iodine: a). Converting the free iodine into iodate ions by making the pH of the noble metal-containing waste liquid containing free iodine strong alkalinity of 12 or more, and selectively depositing gold in the noble metal-containing waste liquid; b). Separating the deposited gold and the noble metal-containing waste liquid after the gold deposition, c). A method for recovering a noble metal, characterized in that the separated noble metal-containing waste liquid after the deposition of gold is further deposited with a chemical reducing agent and / or electrolysis to separate and recover gold and other noble metals.
