The invention relates to a method for comprehensively recovering 
selenium, mercury, lead and silver from acid mud, and belongs to the technical field of metallurgical acid mud treatment. The method comprises the steps that 
carbonate is added to subjected to phase transformation reaction with the acid mud to obtain a transformation solution and transformation slags; 
dilute acid is added to selectively leach the lead in the transformation slags, and 
sodium chloride is added after leaching to obtain lead-containing 
leachate and 
selenium-mercury-silver enriched slags correspondingly so as to realize separation of lead from the 
selenium, the mercury and the silver; an 
oxidizing agent and acid are added to chloridize and leach selenium-mercury enriched slags to obtain selenium-mercury 
leachate and silver-containing slags; 
sulfur dioxide is introduced into the selenium-mercury 
leachate for reduction, and crude selenium and a mercury-containing solution are obtained; 
sulfuric acid is added into the lead-containing leachate for a reaction to generate 
lead sulfate and the 
dilute acid, the 
dilute acid and the pure 
lead sulfate are obtained, and the dilute acid is recycled; and a vulcanizing agent is added into the mercury-containing solution for reaction to obtain mercury 
sulfide and vulcanized residual liquid. The method for comprehensively recovering the selenium, the mercury, the leadand the silver from the acid mud treats the 
smelting acid mud through a full-wet method, is low temperature and 
environmentally friendly, the mercury yield in the whole process is larger than 99.5%, the lead yield is larger than 95.0%, the selenium yield is larger than 98.0%, related treatment equipment is mature and easy to engineer, and the application prospect is good.
