티오요소와 염산 혼합 용액에서 사이클론 전해에 의한 은(Ag) 회수 = Recovery of Silver Using Cyclone Type Electrolytic Cell from Thiourea-hydrochloric Acid Mixed Solutions

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A cyclone type electrolytic method was used to recover silver from thiourea-hydrochloric acid mixed solutions. The electrowinning behavior of silver was investigated in different systems, such as the flow rate, current density, silver concentration, thiourea concentration and hydrochloric acid concentration. As the increase of the flow rate, current density and hydrochloric acid concentration, the recovery rate of silver was increased. Whereas, as the increase of silver concentration, the recovery rate of silver was decreased. The thiourea concentration did not affect the Ag recovery and current efficiency. Above 99% of Ag was recovered at the flow rate of 12 L/min., current density of $0.75A/dm^2$, silver concentration of 1.0 g/L, 0.5 M thiourea and 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. In most experimental conditions, silver was recovered as a powder form.

티오요소와 염산 혼합 용액 중 은(Ag)을 금속으로 회수하기 위해 사이클론 전해법을 이용하였다. 유속, 전류밀도, 은 농도, 티오요소 농도, 염산 농도를 주요 변수로 하여 은의 전해회수 거동을 살펴보았다. 유속, 전류밀도와 염산 농도가 증가할수록 은의 회수속도가 증가하였으며, 은 농도가 증가함에 따라 은의 회수 속도는 감소하였고, 티오요소 농도는 은 회수율과 전류효율에는 큰 영향이 없었다. 유속 12 L/min., 전류밀도 $0.75A/dm^2$, 1 g/L Ag, 0.5 M Thiourea, 0.1 M HCl에서 실험하였을 경우 99% 이상의 은 회수율을 보였다. 대부분의 실험 조건에서 은(Ag)은 분말 형태로 회수되었다.
