Abstract

Un proceso para la extracción de un metal precioso, tal como oro o plata, de un mineral o concentrado de sulfuro u otro material de origen que comprende someter el material de origen a oxidación a presión para producir una suspensión de oxidación a presión. La suspensión de oxidación a presión es flameada en forma descendente a una temperatura y presión inferiores y luego se somete a una separación líquido-sólido para obtener una solución de oxidación a presión y un residuo sólido que contiene el metal precioso. El residuo sólido es luego sometido a cianuración para extraer el metal precioso. La formación de tiocianuro durante la cianuración es minimizada o contrarrestada efectuando la cianuración a una presión de oxígeno elevada y un periodo de retención reducido, tal como 30 a 90 minutos. También se proporciona un método para la reducción de la formación de cianuro de cobre durante la lixiviación de la cianuración. Reivindicación 1: Un método para minimizar la formación de tiocianato durante la recuperación de metal precioso de un residuo, que contiene el metal precioso y el azufre elemental, producidos por un proceso hidrometalúrgico, caracterizado porque, el método comprende: la etapa de someter el residuo a cianuración para lixiviar el metal precioso en la solución, por lo cual la formación de tiocianato durante dicha cianuración se minimiza o se contrarresta efectuando dicha cianuración a una presión elevada de oxígeno de alrededor de 1000 hasta 10.000 kPag de manera tal de reducir la duración de la cianuración mientras que a la vez se lixivia una porción importante del metal precioso durante dicha duración reducida de la cianuración y donde la duración de la cianuración es un máximo de alrededor de 300 minutos.A process for extracting a precious metal, such as gold or silver, from a sulfide mineral or concentrate or other source material that comprises subjecting the source material to pressure oxidation to produce a pressure oxidation suspension. The pressure oxidation suspension is flamed downward at a lower temperature and pressure and then subjected to a liquid-solid separation to obtain a pressure oxidation solution and a solid residue containing the precious metal. The solid residue is then subjected to cyanidation to extract the precious metal. The formation of thiocyanide during cyanidation is minimized or counteracted by cyanidation at a high oxygen pressure and a reduced retention period, such as 30 to 90 minutes. A method for reducing the formation of copper cyanide during leaching from cyanidation is also provided. Claim 1: A method for minimizing the formation of thiocyanate during the recovery of precious metal from a residue, which contains the precious metal and elemental sulfur, produced by a hydrometallurgical process, characterized in that the method comprises: the step of subjecting the residue to cyanidation to leach the precious metal in the solution, whereby the formation of thiocyanate during said cyanidation is minimized or counteracted by performing said cyanidation at an elevated oxygen pressure of about 1000 to 10,000 kPag in order to reduce the duration of cyanidation while at the same time an important portion of the precious metal is leached during said reduced duration of cyanidation and where the duration of cyanidation is a maximum of about 300 minutes.
