Sulfuric acid leaching of copper anode slime (CAS) in the presence of manganese(IV) oxide (MnO2) and graphite was investigated for Se, Te and Ag recovery. The study reveals that the leaching of Se, Te and Ag was facilitated by the galvanic interaction with MnO2, and graphite played the role of a catalyst. The leaching process could yield 81.9% Se, 90.8% Te, and 80.7% Ag leaching efficiency when the conditions were maintained as 500 rpm, 2.0 M H2SO4, 0.8/0.8/1 MnO2/graphite/CAS, and 90 °C temperature. The kinetic study showed that Se leaching followed the surface chemical reaction at all the tested temperature range (25–90 °C) with the activation energy of 27.7 kJ/mol. Te and Ag leaching at temperature 25–50 °C followed the mixed and surface chemical reaction models, respectively, and changed to fit the diffusion and mixed control models, respectively, in the temperature range 60–90 °C with the corresponding activation energy of 17.8 and 12.2 kJ/mol.

A novel process of chlorinating roasting followed by chlorinating leaching to extract platinum and gold from copper anode slimes was proposed in this research. Results of thermodynamic analysis and experimental research showed that the platinum was chlorinated into PtCl2 while the gold existed in the form of metallic Au during the roasting process. With the copper anode slime being directly leached using a traditional process, the Pt recovery rate was low and came to 80.72%. After the roasting process with sodium chloride and concentrated sulfuric acid in oxygen atmosphere, the recovery rate of Pt increased to a value around 95%. Moreover, with excessive addition of concentrated sulfuric acid, more H2O (g) was generated and the formation of Cl2 (g) decreased due to the transition from HCl (g) and Cl2 (g), as a result of which the Pt recovery rate decreased. In addition, this chlorinating roasting had little effect on the Au recovery due to its difficulty to be chlorinated.
