Vacuum Metallurgy Technology refers to the metallurgical process carried out under conditions below 1 atmosphere to ultra-high vacuum, including the smelting, purification, refining, molding and processing of metals and alloys.
Principle:
a) The application of vacuum metallurgy technology in comprehensive recovery mainly utilizes the difference in boiling point and saturated vapor pressure between elements to separate, purify and refine substances under certain temperature and vacuum conditions
b) Due to the difference in saturated vapor pressure of metals and their compounds under vacuum environment and the ease of gasification of substances in vacuum, metals and their compounds with low boiling points evaporate first before metals and their compounds with higher boiling points, thereby achieving the purpose of separation and purification from each other.
1) The removal of lead, bismuth and antimony reduces the blowing amount and slag production of the silver separation furnace;
2) The equipment has a large production capacity, which shortens the production cycle of the silver separation process, thereby increasing the output speed of silver;
3) Lead, bismuth and antimony are produced in the form of alloys. Depending on the content of the components, they can be directly subjected to high-bismuth lead electrolysis or antimony removal processes;
4) The direct recovery rate of vacuum treatment elements is generally improved, the mechanical adhesion loss is small, and the comprehensive metal recovery rate is also high.
Based on theoretical research, TOMINE’S vacuum distillation process for complex tin alloys was invented, which solved the problem of clean and efficient comprehensive recovery of valuable metals such as tin, lead, bismuth, antimony, zinc and arsenic from complex tin alloys such as tin-lead, tin-zinc, tin-lead-antimony, tin-lead-antimony-arsenic and crude tin.
