The invention relates to a method for the treatment of fluoboric electrolyte resulting from the processes of electro-extraction of metals such as copper and lead comprising a leaching stage with fluoboric acid, in order to recycle said fluoboric acid to be recirculated to said leaching stage devoid of impurities of metals such as Me=Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, Cd, characterized in that it comprises the stages of:a) treating said fluoboric electrolyte comprising Cu(BF4)2 or Pb(BF4)2 with H2S in order to precipitate CuS or PbS respectively in accordance with the reactionsthus obtaining a solution of HBF4 containing the fluoborates of said metals Me, said solution being separated,b) treating said Me fluoborates with H2SO4 in accordance with the reaction(where Me=Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, Cd) it being possible for said sulphates Me(SO4)n to be removed so as to obtain a solution of HBF4 substantially free from impurities of said metals Me. |
