As a direct-to-blister copper flash smelting slag contains important levels of copper (14%) and lead (2–4%) it is subjected to a process of high temperature reduction. To recover copper as well as lead the slag is subjected then to a process of decopperization by reducing the oxide metal compounds in an electric furnace. This study presents an alternative to the above process by recovering Pb and Cu from the slag by a hydrometallurgical route using citric acid solutions. The objective of this study was to determine process parameters at which the effectiveness of the lead leaching process is greatest with the minimum transfer of copper to the solution. This paper presents the results of laboratory tests on flash smelting slag leaching with citric acid solutions. Process parameters (time, temperature, citric acid concentration, l/s ratio) at which the Pb concentration decreases from the initial value (3.05%) to the value of 0.41–0.6% in the post-leaching sediment were determined. Analogous values for copper were 12.44% (before leaching) and 11.5–11.8% (after). The lead and copper content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The hydrometallurgical method could successfully replace the existing treatment of slag in an electric furnace and converter.

Furnace slag from direct-to-blister smelting of copper concentrates contains 12–15% of copper and 2.5–4% of lead. In this form it cannot be deemed as waste material, and thus it is subjected to a high-temperature process of slag decopperization; after this, converting process is performed on the Cu–Pb–Fe alloy being the product of decopperization process in electric furnace. An interesting alternative to the presently used processing of flash smelting slag would be its hydrometallurgical processing and selective recovery of Pb and Cu. This paper presents the results of laboratory tests on flash smelting slag leaching with acetic acid solutions and acetic acid with urea additive. The experiments performed allowed to optimize the process parameters to such an extent that Pb content in the post-leaching sediment is practically equal to the value obtained through the high-temperature process performed in electric furnace.
