METHOD FOR PROCESSING CADMIFEROUS SOLIDS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for processing cadmiferous solids that contain anhydrite and/or hemihydrate calcium sulphate having a cadmium content, characetrised in that it comprises extracting the cadmium from said cadmiferous solids by putting them in contact with an aqueous solution of an alkaline metal, and carrying a solid/liquid separation between a solid phase containing dihydrate calcium sulphate with a low cadmium content relative to said cadmium content in the anhydrite and/or hemihydrate calcium sulphate, and an aqueous phase containing alkaline metal sulphate and cadmium in a solution.
