Bismuth is a promising and environmentally safe metal widely used in various industries, including electronics, medicine metallurgy. Despite this, its production associated with number of technological difficulties due to the low content bismuth natural ores presence mainly as by-product lead processing. The present article devoted study method increasing alloys using oxygen oxidation. It shown that lead, which has high affinity for oxygen, effectively oxidized passes into slag phase, whereas concentrated metallic phase. Experiments were carried out at 650 °C boric acid lower melting point improve flowability. As result five enrichment steps, alloy increased from 4.0% 48.8%. proposed demonstrates selectivity economic efficiency, makes it industrial application. results can be develop more energy-efficient technologies enrichment, especially relevant context growing demand industries.
