Abstract

A process for the removal of lead content in anode slime by subjecting the latter to primary and secondary leach in a medium of an ammonium acetate solution at a temperature not exceeding 80.degree. C. Whereby lead dissolution is maximized and other metals are minimized. Separate the leach solution from the undissolved slime residue, crystallize lead from the separated leach solution and recover the crystallized lead acetate.
