Description

A kind ofly take the thiosulfate gold extracting method that iron (III) prussiate salt is oxygenant
Technical field
The invention belongs to hydrometallurgy field, relate to a kind of employing thiosulphate for carrying gold reagent, with iron ( ) prussiate salt is that oxygenant extracts golden method from ore.
Background technology
Cyanide process is the main method that current gold extracts.Yet sodium cyanide is severe poisonous chemicals, remain in sodium cyanide in tailing dam and soak and in golden process, produce some toxic cyanide and can cause serious environmental problem, some countries and regions have forbidden using prussiate in gold extracts for this reason.In addition, cyanide process is difficult to process to complex gold ores such as cupric carbon containings.The prussiate of crossing in recent researches substitutes in reagent, and thiosulphate is considered to replace the method most with application prospect of cyanide process with features such as it are quick, nontoxic.In order to improve the golden speed of soaking, a lot of bibliographical informations in thiosulfate solution, add copper ( ) ion, ammoniacal liquor form the leach liquor that mixing solutions extracts as gold.Yet, under ammoniacal copper complex ion exists, soaking thiosulphate consumption in golden process and sharply rise, reagent consumes excessive high cost, golden leach liquor complicated component of while, the gold that causes entering in leach liquor is difficult to efficient recovery.Many researchers adopts reagent such as adding sulfate radical and inferior sulfate radical and sulfonium ion, inflated with nitrogen to reduce dissolved oxygen or exists the lower methods such as pressure leaching that adopt to carry out large quantity research in the hope of reducing reagent consumption without cuprammonium, these methods have played certain effect in control thiosulphate consumption, but energy consumption is high or complex manufacturing, is still difficult to realize scale operation.Also having some bibliographical informations to use oxalate, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) (EDTA) salt is additive, reduction is soaked to thiosulphate consumption in golden process and also played certain effect, but need the strict pH of control value between 4.2~6.4, pH value is decomposed into elemental sulfur and sulfurous gas lower than 4.2 o'clock thiosulphates, and pH value had ferric hydroxide colloid or precipitation to generate higher than 6.4 o'clock.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to Cu 2+-NH 3-S 2o 3 2-in soaking golden process, reagent consumption is large, Leaching Systems is complicated to mix gold leachate, a kind of new Leaching of Gold Using Thiosulfate method is proposed, adopting iron (III) the cyanide ligand ion that stability is better, oxidizing potential is higher is oxygenant, take thiosulfate anion as golden complexing agent, and to add a small amount of thiocarbamide be that leaching agent forms gold leachate and extracts the gold in ore, by following technical proposal, realize.
A kind ofly take the thiosulfate gold extracting method that iron (III) prussiate salt is oxygenant, process the following step: broken wet-milling to fineness-200 order of the placer containing golden or rock ore deposit is accounted for to 85~95%, regulating the mass concentration of ore pulp is 30~50%, to the solution, thiosulphate and the thiocarbamide that add iron (III) prussiate salt in ore pulp, the concentration that makes thiosulphate in whole system is 0.01~2mol/dm again 3, iron (III) prussiate salt concentration 0.1~1.0mmol/dm 3, thiocarbamide concentration be 0.001~10.0mmol/dm 3, then the pH value of regulation system is 8~13, and agitation leach 9~24 hours, finally reclaims according to a conventional method the gold in leach liquor.
Described iron (III) prussiate salt is the Tripotassium iron hexacyanide or the Trisodium hexacyanoferrate.
The solution of described iron (III) prussiate salt is that iron (III) prussiate salt is water-soluble, and being mixed with pH value is more than 9 solution.
The pH value of described regulation system is 8~13rd, uses alkali to regulate, as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide.
Described thiosulphate is the salt that contains thiosulfate anion.
Thiosulfate gold extracting method tool provided by the invention has the following advantages and effect:
(1) reagent consumption is low, for copper gold, adopts Cu 2+-NH 3-S 2o 3 2-leaching Systems, thiosulphate consumption is up to 20~30kg/t ore; And adopt the consumption of present method thiosulphate can be down to below 7kg/t ore.
(2) pH variation is little to golden influence of extraction, general Cu 2+-NH 3-S 2o 3 2-leaching Systems pH value require to be controlled at 10 left and right, pH is too high, gold leaching rate significantly reduces; And system pH of the present invention is at 8~13 o'clock, gold leaching rate and thiosulphate consumption, all without large variation, are done accuracy controlling without the pH value to Leaching Systems, applicable to scale operation.
(3) golden leaching velocity is fast, and sample ore strong adaptability all can effectively be processed cupric, Carbonaceous gold ore.
(4) golden leach liquor component is simple, because the consumption of thiosulphate is less, can not produce a large amount of polythionates and other oxygen sulfur compound, and the associated metal under alkaline condition in gold mine and other impurity do not enter golden leach liquor as Fe etc. can not dissolve substantially, be conducive to the recovery of gold in golden leach liquor, reclaim golden lean solution and be easy to recycle.
Adopt method provided by the invention from ore, to extract gold, gold leaching rate is high, and technological operation is simple, be easy to control, thiosulphate consumption is low, and golden leach liquor composition is simply conducive to the wherein recovery of gold, applied widely, pH has good leaching effect between 8~13, fast for cyanide process difficult-treating gold mine gold leaching velocities such as carbon containing, cuprics, and can keep quite high gold leaching rate.Whole carrying in golden process do not used hypertoxic free Cyanide with ion (CN -), do not discharge free Cyanide with ion (CN yet -) etc. hypertoxic refuse, environmentally friendly.
