To address the technical bottlenecks of both high consumption of materials and energy and low recovery efficiency in traditional pyrometallurgical recycling of high-value copper-bearing solid wastes such as waste printed circuit boards, the slag phase regulation mechanism in cooperative smelting of multi-source copper-bearing solid waste was investigated. An analysis of the quaternary phase diagram of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-FeO system reveals that when the mass ratio of FeO to SiO2 ranges from 1/9 to 1/1 and mass fraction of CaO is within the range of 10%-40%, the primary crystal phase regions of molten slag are primarily distributed in the areas of clinopyroxene, wollastonite and spinel, and a theoretical melting point is lower than 1 300 ℃. A prediction model for physicochemical properties of slag demonstrates that the fluidity of the molten slag can be significantly improved by increasing FeO/SiO2 ratio from 0.5 to 1.0, and the optimal fluidity is achieved with FeO and SiO2 at a mass ratio of 1.0, which can meet the requirements of industrial smelting. An experiment was performed with the optimized conditions, including FeO and SiO2 at a mass ratio of 0.8, CaO and SiO2 at a mass ratio of 0.4, smelting at a constant-temperature of 1 350 ℃ for 1 h, resulting in the obtained slag with the residual copper content therein reduced to 0.18% and copper recovery up to 99.39%. The produced crude copper alloy mainly contained Cu, C, S, Pb, Fe, Sn and other elements. It is concluded that increasing the FeO/SiO2 ratio can contribute to improving metal recovery, but it can also increase separation difficulty in the subsequent electrolytic refining process.
