Extract technology as above, wherein preferably, in step a, high 5~6m is piled in the ore deposit building up, ventilation intensity 0.8~1.0Nm
3/ m
2.h, dripping pouring intensity is 8~10L/m
2h, pH is 1.5~2.0, redox potential is lower than 500mV(vs.SCE), can effectively suppress the dissolving of iron.
Extract technology as above, wherein preferably, in step b, again builds the ore deposit of heap and piles high 8~10m, and dripping and drenching intensity is 10~12L/m2h, and pH is 1.5~2.0, and redox potential is 460~520mV(vs.SCE).
Beneficial effect of the present invention is:
1. nickel zinc selectivity leaches
The present invention adopts that the zink sulphide of seed selection is exclusive soaks ore deposit bacterium, has greatly promoted the high-efficiency dissolution of zinc, and zinc leaching rate is higher than 85wt%.Meanwhile, also promoted the dissolving of nickel, nickel leaching yield is greater than 80wt%, and comparatively speaking, the leaching velocity of cobalt is slower, therefore will soak after slag goes to permanent stockyard and continue to leach.
2. low-grade valuable metals comprehensively reclaims
Copper mainly exists with primary ore form, and under normal temperature, leaching rate is slower, and when after access thermophile bacteria, the leaching rate of copper is accelerated, more than the leaching yield of last copper reaches 65wt%.Continue to dissolve and do not soak nickel cobalt zinc completely in the first step leaching process, further improved leaching yield.Finally, nickel cobalt zinc leaching rate approaches 90wt%, has improved many metals comprehensive reutilization level.
3. effective inhibition of iron
In bioleaching process, it is very unfavorable that iron separates valuable metal, causes recovery rate of valuable metals to reduce, and must carry out deferrization process.At present, most widely used is neutralized ex iron technique, but this technique can cause the loss of nickel cobalt zinc valuable metal.The normal temperature bacterium adopting in technique of the present invention, not only can promote the dissolving in zinc-nickel ore deposit, can make Leaching Systems keep compared with low potential simultaneously, has suppressed the efficient leaching of iron, has reduced the meltage of iron from source.In addition, when after nickel cobalt zinc precipitated metal, in solution, pH raises, and adds a small amount of lime and can further reduce the content of iron, is conducive to leach liquor efficient circulation and leaches.
4. added value of product is high
Due under lower pH condition, iron precipitation capacity is less, and each precipitated metal pH difference, has certain selectivity, and cupric sulfide, zinc sulphide and nickelous sulfide cobalt product foreign matter content are low, and added value of product is high.
5. environmental friendliness
This technique does not need to become concentrate and high melt through traditional beneficiation enrichment of high energy consumption, the novel process toxic gas such as flue dust and sulfurous gas that exhaust emission is not large, and equipment is simple, reduced investment, cost are low, pollution-free, economy, obvious environment benefit.
In sum, the present invention is directed to low-grade multi-metal sulfide, overcome a comprehensive recovery low technical difficult problem, a kind of efficient selective bioleaching process is provided, improve recovery rate of valuable metals, realize the object that fully utilizes low-grade multi-metal sulfide Mineral resources, can obtain larger economic benefit.
