The invention provides a method for extracting 
rhenium from 
rhenium-rich concentrates. The method comprises the following steps of: mixing the 
rhenium-rich concentrates with quick 
lime, 
grinding a mixture, feeding 
oxygen-enriched air into the mixture, and 
roasting the mixture at a temperature of 400-900 DEG C; 
sizing and immersing the roasted mixture by using water, and filtering after the immersion is finished; adding an 
impurity removing agent into the filtered liquid so as to remove 
calcium and trace heavy 
metal ions; filtering after removing impurities; and carrying out 
ion exchange process on the filtered liquid, which is subjected to 
impurity removal and filtering, through anion exchange resin, obtaining 
ammonium rhenate solution after 
desorption, and obtaining 
ammonium perrhenate through reconcentration and 
crystallization. According to the method provided by the invention, quick 
lime oxygen-enriched 
roasting and 
water immersion are used, so that the operations of decoppering, 
arsenic removal and desulfuration are carried out, therefore rhenium, 
arsenic and 
sulfur are oxidized sufficiently under the 
oxygen enrichment condition; the rhenium, 
arsenic and 
sulfur are combined with 
calcium oxide, so that insoluble substances are generated; the effects of removing 
copper, arsenic and 
sulfur are more thorough in the 
water immersion condition, and the 
disadvantage that the 
calcium content is high in the quick 
lime roasting and 
water immersion technology is solved through using the 
impurity removing agent to remove impurities; and the 
recovery rate of rhenium is high, so that the method provided by the invention is favorable to industrialized application.
