Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to from the aurin ore dressing to extract the method and system of gold, said method and system relate to gold be dissolved in the water-based liquid, electrolytic deposition to be to provide relevant aurin ore dressing of negative electrode and processing washed ore.
Background technology
In many metalworking operations, adopt to cause that gold is dissolved in a series of unit operations in the liquid.The component of liquid is soluble basically, that is, gold number (gold value) moves in the solubility flow.In addition, relevant with raw material insolubility part only exists with low-down concentration.Therefore, for example, can be received in prussiate liquid (the first solubility flow), be absorbed on the carbon, received (or desorb) then from carbon to second more spissated solubility gold flow (strip liquor) from the gold of ore.As other a kind of selection, can directly be received to spissated solubility gold flow from the gold of gravity aurin ore dressing.
Spissated solubility gold flow is conducted in the electrolyzer usually, wherein the effect of electric current cause deposition of gold on the negative electrode or under.This sedimentary gold is called the relevant aurin ore dressing of negative electrode in this manual.
Negative electrode phase customs gold unit does not contain appreciable amount platinum metals (PGM) usually---and this possibly be because few these metals that exist in the raw material, perhaps because certain some indissoluble in these materials and can not moving in the solubility flow that is used for dissolving gold number (being generally the prussiate class).The relevant aurin ore dressing of negative electrode is wherein added fusing assistant usually also through melting processing in the relevant aurin ore dressing of negative electrode, and is being enough to this mixture of temperature heating of fusion fusing assistant and gold.With in the base metal that exists in the relevant aurin ore dressing of negative electrode and the contaminants associated feeding fused of the base metal fusing assistant with the formation slag mutually, said slag after cooling can with precious metal (ingot) physical sepn mutually.Smelting operation is characterised in that, precious metal is assembled with the form of fused button or bar, and said fused button or bar have compares obvious lower surface-area with the surface-area of the relevant washed ore of negative electrode.
The golden reclaimer operation of other kind uses in as the gold recovery of exploitation like the by product in the base metals such as copper and mickel.When the gold in finding raw material combines with the copper of less amount and appreciable amount or other base metals; Impure base metal casting (through fusion) is formed on the anode that uses in the electrolyzer, and the effect of electric current causes copper dissolution (copper of purifying is deposited on the negative electrode simultaneously) in this groove.Accumulate below anode from the undissolved resistates of anodic (gold that comprises any trace), and comprise the anode sludge.The component of the anode sludge is insoluble (in acid electrolyte), and in the solubility flow, does not move.These insoluble component possibly comprise the platinum metals (PGM) and the Jin Heyin of appreciable amount usually.Pollutent in the relevant aurin ore dressing with negative electrode of pollutent in the relevant aurin ore dressing of anode is completely different, and this is because (a) raw material is different; (b) many procedure of processings are different, and particularly in two kinds of different situations, the pollutent in the relevant washed ore of anode does not move in the solubility flow, and the pollutent in the relevant washed ore of negative electrode moves in the solubility flow usually; (c) the relevant aurin ore dressing of anode has been the part of molten metal environment (for example when anode is cast) in the step before the electrolysis, and the relevant aurin ore dressing of negative electrode never was the part of molten metal environment before electrolysis.Anode sludge washed ore uses the successive specialty to leach step processing usually, to reclaim the various valuable component in the various leach liquors.It is reactive comprising the PGM of considerable level and the melting of the anode sludge of gold; This is because melting causes gold and silver and PGM to concentrate in the molten mass and has the surface-area (comparing with the anode sludge) that significantly reduces, and leaches more much more difficult than the selectivity leaching of the primary high surface area anode sludge from the selectivity of the valuable constituent of this low surface area molten mass.
Be usually directed to the melting of negative electrode phase customs gold unit by the current method of the electrorefining negative electrode phase customs gold unit of water-based gold liquid, it did not leach before thermal treatment.
The discussion that comprises in this manual file, behavior, material, device and article etc. only is used to the present invention provides contextual purpose.Do not hint or represent that any or all these things form the common practise in part prior art bases or the association area of the present invention, because it promptly existed before priority date of each claim of the application.
Summary of the invention
