Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of gold extraction, in particular to non-cyanide gold leaching and a gold extraction method for high-sulfur-arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate.

Background

For the production process for recovering gold from the multiple refractory metallurgy high-sulfur arsenic carbon refractory gold concentrate, the method mainly comprises the steps of oxidizing roasting the high-sulfur arsenic carbon refractory gold concentrate to roasting slag, then carrying out cyaniding leaching to recover gold, carrying out bacterial preoxidation-cyaniding leaching, carrying out chemical preoxidation-cyaniding leaching, carrying out hot-pressing pretreatment-cyaniding leaching and the like; the latter three methods are not generally applied due to various factors such as high treatment cost, large equipment investment, poor safety, poor adaptability, low gold recovery rate and the like, while the oxidizing roasting-calcine cyaniding leaching has great advantages due to the comprehensive properties of the above various factors, and simultaneously can produce a byproduct sulfuric acid, and part of the oxidation slag can be applied to cement and iron making and is largely adopted; however, the leaching slag obtained after the multi-refractory high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate is oxidized and roasted and then cyanided and leached is high in gold grade, the gold grade of the roasted and cyanided slag is 6-20 g/t, the cyanide slag is difficult to be effective no matter the cyanide slag is subjected to superfine grinding, chemical pretreatment, or re-leaching after roasting or leaching by other non-cyanide agents because the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate forms secondary packages in the roasting process and copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, antimony and residual sulfur in the roasted ore influence the cyanided and leached, and the recovery rate is less than 20% except for a certain method. Can only be sold to a copper smelting plant at low price for batching, and then gold is recovered from the anode mud of copper smelting; however, the cyanide contained in the slag causes toxic gas diffusion in copper smelting workshops, and workers are extremely easy to be poisoned and cannot work. Therefore, the economic benefit of an oxidizing roasting gold smelting plant is greatly influenced, the cost of gold smelting is increased, the smelting recovery rate of gold is reduced, limited resources are wasted, the environmental pollution is increased, and a large amount of land resources are occupied.

meanwhile, the leaching agent used for cyaniding leaching is cyanide, so that the cyanide leaching agent is highly toxic, causes great damage to the environment and has great danger and threat to the life safety of people and animals; the leaching process is long in flow, high in equipment investment and operation cost, very slow in gold leaching rate (the leaching time is 32-48 hours generally), the calcine is further finely ground, the gold leaching factors in the calcine are many, the calcine quality requirement is high, the gold leaching rate of the multi-refractory high-sulfur arsenic carbon refractory gold concentrate calcine is not high and is only 50-75%, the recovery of gold in cyanided slag is very difficult, and no good method exists so far. And because the iron content in the cyanidation slag is generally low, the utilization of the iron slag is greatly influenced, but the gold grade in the cyanidation slag is also high, and the resource is greatly wasted.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new process technology which has the advantages of advanced technology, rapidness, environmental protection, no toxicity, high gold extraction rate, no pollution, no waste residue or less waste residue as much as possible, cheap and easily available raw materials and wide market.

In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.

The refractory gold concentrate with high sulfur, arsenic and carbon content mainly refers to pyrite, arsenic pyrite and organic carbon-coated gold concentrate powder. After the gold concentrate is roasted, the iron content of roasting slag is about 30-50%.

The non-cyanide gold leaching method and the gold extraction method for the refractory gold concentrate with high sulfur, arsenic and carbon provided by the invention are specifically described below.

the embodiment of the invention provides a non-cyanogen gold extraction method for high-sulfur-arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate, which comprises the following steps:

A non-cyanogen gold leaching method of high-sulfur-arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate and gold extraction operation of leached ore pulp obtained in the gold leaching process.

The gold leaching method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:

s1, mixing the roasted slag of the high-temperature high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate just discharged from the furnace with a solution containing a leaching agent to obtain ore pulp, wherein the solute of the solution containing the leaching agent comprises hydrogen chloride.

Specifically, oxidizing roasting or sulfating roasting is carried out on the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate to obtain high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag, and the high-temperature high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag just discharged from the furnace is mixed with a solution containing a leaching agent to obtain ore pulp.

The high-temperature high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag just discharged from a furnace is mixed with a solution containing a leaching agent, high-temperature solids enter an environment with lower temperature, cracks are generated inside and outside the roasting slag under the action of quenching, the leaching agent solution is favorably permeated into the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag through the cracks, the contact area between hydrogen chloride and the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag is increased, gold can be rapidly leached out by breaking packages, the leaching agent stretches into the roasting slag through the cracks, the leaching agent can be directly contacted with the gold at first, the complexing reaction is further performed earlier, and the reaction rate is improved. And the temperature of the roasted slag just discharged from the furnace is higher, and the temperature of the ore pulp is increased after the roasted slag is mixed with the leaching agent solution at normal temperature, so that the reaction of the hydrogen chloride and the iron oxide contained in the roasted slag can be accelerated, the energy required by the subsequent heat preservation leaching is saved, or the ore pulp can meet the temperature required by the subsequent heat preservation leaching without heating the ore pulp.

Preferably, in order to ensure that the gold extraction effect is better, the solid-to-liquid ratio of the ore pulp is 1: 3-6.

Preferably, in order to enable the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag to rapidly and sufficiently break the coating, the mass concentration of hydrogen chloride consisting of chloride ions and hydrogen ions in the ore pulp is 15-30%.

Preferably, the components of the leaching agent include hydrochloric acid or an acid and a chloride salt. When the leaching agent comprises hydrochloric acid or the leaching agent comprises an acid and a chloride salt, the leaching agent is mixed with water to form a solution containing the leaching agent, and the solution contains hydrogen chloride as an effective component. Specifically, the chloride salt may be at least one of sodium chloride and ferric chloride.

and S2, preserving the heat of the ore pulp to leach the gold to obtain leached ore pulp.

Generally, feeding according to the solid-liquid ratio of the conventional process, and mixing the high-temperature roasting slag with a solution containing a leaching agent to obtain ore pulp with the temperature of 90-100 ℃. Taking the oxidation roasting slag of the gold concentrate with high sulfur, arsenic and carbon content and difficult separation as an example, the main substance wrapping gold is the oxide of iron, the oxide of iron reacts with hydrochloric acid to generate iron ions and chloride ions, the iron ions and the chloride ions oxidize gold simple substances to generate gold ions and ferrous ions, the reaction can be promoted to be carried out more quickly at high temperature, and the gold leaching efficiency can be effectively improved. Preferably, in order to ensure the leaching rate, if the temperature of the ore pulp is found to be too low in the operation process, the temperature of the ore pulp can be increased to 90-100 ℃, and the leaching is carried out under the condition of heat preservation, the leaching time is specifically selected according to the grade of the roasting slag of the gold concentrate which is refractory to high sulfur, arsenic and carbon, and the gold ions can be basically and completely leached by heat preservation for 0.5-1.5 h. More preferably, the soaking time is 1-1.5 h.

the gold extraction operation of the leached ore pulp specifically comprises the following steps:

and S3, filtering the leached ore pulp while the leached ore pulp is hot to obtain filtrate and filter residue.

Because the filtering is carried out at a higher temperature, the crystallization of ferric salt can be prevented, the heat loss is reduced, the energy consumption is saved, the reaction process is accelerated, the process flow is shortened, and the equipment investment is reduced. Therefore, the filtration process is preferably carried out while it is hot.

And the obtained filter residue can be used as roasting residue again for secondary gold extraction to ensure that gold is fully extracted. The residual liquid obtained after the secondary gold extraction has high iron content, and the iron salt or water treatment agent in the residual liquid can be recovered. The residue obtained after the secondary gold extraction mainly comprises silicon and gold which is rarely wrapped by quartz, can be used for circularly extracting gold by adopting another gold extraction process, and can also be used for producing silicic acid, silica gel, water glass and a water treatment agent containing ferrosilicon. For example, the raffinate may be subjected to oxidation, evaporation, cooling, crystallization, etc. to obtain an iron-based product.

and S4, extracting gold in the filtrate by adopting an adsorption or reduction mode.

Specifically, the gold in the filtrate is extracted by adsorption by using activated carbon or ion exchange resin.

after gold in the filtrate is extracted by adopting an adsorption or reduction mode, mixing the residual liquid with the high-temperature high-sulfur arsenic carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag just discharged from the furnace, and performing size mixing by adopting a medicament containing hydrogen chloride before or after mixing so as to meet the requirement that the mass concentration of part of hydrogen chloride in the solution in the ore pulp is 15-30%. The operations of steps S2-S4 are then repeated.

in each embodiment provided by the invention, the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag is used for extracting gold by using the high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate oxidation roasting slag. And mixing the residual liquid serving as a solution containing a leaching agent with the high-temperature high-sulfur arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate roasting slag just discharged from the furnace, and then mixing the mixture by using a medicament containing hydrogen chloride, wherein the medicament selected for mixing is hydrochloric acid with the mass concentration of 31%.

The invention can extract gold from the multi-refractory high-sulfur-arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate by non-cyanide leaching, and the generated residual product can be used for producing certain chemical products, and the production can be continuously carried out; the scheme can fully utilize the waste heat generated by oxidizing roasting to promote the gold leaching process, thereby greatly saving the production cost and energy; particularly, the invention is not influenced by the complexity of oxidizing roasting the high-sulfur-arsenic-carbon refractory gold concentrate, and is not influenced by various impurity components in the roasted product, thereby successfully solving the influence of secondary package and various covering films generated in the roasting process; meanwhile, the produced residual liquid can be used for producing various iron products (such as various water treatment agents), and the residual slag can also be used for producing silicic acid or silica gel and various silicon-containing products. The gold concentrate with high sulfur, arsenic and carbon content and difficult separation can be almost completely utilized, resources are utilized to the maximum extent, and occupation of land resources is reduced. The preparation used in the method is easily available and low in cost.

The scheme provided by the application thoroughly breaks through the production process of the traditional gold leaching recovery method, and compared with all methods such as cyaniding leaching, bacterial oxidation cyaniding leaching, hot-pressing oxygen leaching, chemical pretreatment leaching and the like, the method has the advantages of strong adaptability, high recovery rate, low cost, no toxicity, safety, environmental protection, simple flow, no high pressure, less investment, no waste or minimum waste discharge, maximum utilization of resources, minimum occupation of land resources or no occupation of land resources (waste stockpiling).
