A system for smelting tin-containing materials is disclosed. The system includes a pretreatment mechanism, a screening mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a smelting mechanism, a slag treatment mechanism and a tail gas treatment mechanism. In addition, the disclosure discloses a method by using the above system. In the disclosure, dry tin-containing materials can be sieved, and fine tin-containing materials can be conveyed into top-blown furnace molten pool for smelting through the belt, while the coarse tin-containing materials can be sprayed into the molten pool through the spray gun, which can reduce the splashing or material leakage loss of the tin-containing materials with smaller particle size during the transportation process, and also avoid the mechanical inclusion or flying loss caused by the belt; furthermore, the fine dry materials are prevented from adding water before entering furnace, thereby reducing smelting energy consumption and smelting flue gas quantity, and realizing environment-friendly and energy-saving smelting.

A method for producing and purifying sodium bromide using the coke from waste circuit boards pyrolysis residues as reducing agent, belonging to the field of purifying sodium bromide and high-value utilization, and more particularly, relating to a method for reducing and purifying crude bromine salt obtained from waste circuit boards smelting ash by using the coke in waste circuit boards pyrolysis residues. The main steps are as follows: carbonization conversion, water dissolution, filtration, and concentrated crystallization under vacuum heating. The pure sodium bromide was obtained by reducing crude bromine salt enriched from waste circuit board smelting ash by using the coke in waste circuit boards pyrolysis residues, realizing the resource coupling and high-value utilization of the two wastes, avoiding the secondary pollution in the process of recycling the waste circuit boards. It has the characteristics of simple operation, high resource utilization rate and no tail liquid discharge.

The method and associated processes comprising the method are useful to recover spent catalyst metals used in the petroleum and chemical processing industries. The method generally involves a combination of a pyrometallurgical and a hydrometallurgical method and includes forming a potassium carbonate calcine of a KOH leach residue of the spent catalyst containing an insoluble Group VIIIB/Group VIB/Group VB metal compound combined with potassium carbonate, and extracting and recovering soluble Group VIB metal and soluble Group VB metal compounds from the potassium carbonate calcine.

An improved method for recovering metals from spent supported catalysts, including spent supported hydroprocessing catalysts. The method and associated processes comprising the method are useful to recover spent supported catalyst metals used in the petroleum and chemical processing industries. The method generally involves a combination of a pyrometallurgical and a hydrometallurgical method and includes forming a potassium carbonate calcine from the spent supported catalyst containing Group VIIIB/Group VIB/Group VB metal compound(s) combined with potassium carbonate, and extracting and recovering soluble Group VIB metal and soluble Group VB metal compounds from the potassium carbonate calcine.

A method of processing copper and nickel sulfide materials, including oxidizing torrefaction of a material to obtain cinder, leaching the cinder with a cycling solution, separating a leaching residue, and electro-extraction of copper from a leaching solution. The cinder and particulates generated by the torrefaction are separately leached. The particulates are leached in a cycling copper raffinate together with a separated portion of solution from a cinder processing line, the separated portion consisting of a portion of solution provided to the leaching after electro-extraction of copper. Particulates leaching residue is separated. Copper is extracted by solvent extraction from a particulates leaching solution, followed by separate electro-extraction of copper from a circulating re-extract. Then, a portion of the raffinate is separated to be forwarded to a nickel production process.
