Description

A kind of technique of alkaline Bioleaching copper oxide ore
Technical field
The invention belongs to solution mining field, relate to the processing method of utilizing bacterium to leach copper oxide ore under alkaline condition.
Background technology
In solution mining field, soak copper and acidophilic bacteria for acid system and soak process for copper and done large quantity research, and in industrial production, have good utilization effect.But refractory copper oxide ore and copper mine tailing for height containing Basic gangue mineral, adopt acid system leaching or acidophilic bacteria to leach many problems that exist: on the one hand, a large amount of Basic gangue minerals must make acid consumption greatly increase, unreasonable economically; On the other hand, under acid system, can produce a large amount of micro-soluble materials such as calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, greatly reduce the perviousness of Leaching Systems, thereby affect leaching effect; Meanwhile, the corrodibility of acidleach is stronger, high to equipment requirements, and the pressure of environment protection aspect is larger.
Compared with acid system Leaching Systems, alkaline process soak copper have metal selective strong, the erosion resistance of equipment is required low, be a main developing direction.Soak the research of copper for alkaline process, mostly rest on chemistry and soak seam face, as ammoniacal liquor leaches copper mine.But the volatility of ammoniacal liquor is large, cause processing cost to increase, environmental pollution is serious, cannot carry out large-scale dump leaching; Adopt pressure ammonia leaching feasible technically, but energy consumption is high, facility investment is large, economic benefit is poor.The invention provides a kind of bacterium and in alkaline environment, leach the novel process of copper oxide ore, there is the technical superioritys such as investment little, cost is low, technique is simple, environmental friendliness, enrich with develop the technique of Bioleaching copper mine.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to utilize bacterium to leach copper oxide ore under alkaline condition, solve that the acid consumption existing in acid leaching process is high, poor permeability, high in cost of production problem, enriched the Bioleaching technique of copper mine, the Bioleaching that makes copper mine by acidic leaching process spread on alkaline leaching technique.
The technique of a kind of Bioleaching copper oxide ore of the present invention, is to utilize a kind of alkaline Production by Bacteria ammonifying and copper mineral generation complex reaction, realizes and leach copper oxide ore under alkaline condition.The alkaline bacterium that urea decomposition can be produced to ammonia in described alkaline bacterial metabolism process, specifically can adopt JAT-1 bacterium, and this bacterial strain is in Chinese common micro-organisms culture presevation administrative center registration and preservation, and preserving number is: CGMCC6214.Its grown cultures based component is Trisodium Citrate 5~25g/L, urea 5~20g/L, potassium primary phosphate 1.0~3.0g/L, Sodium phosphate dibasic 2.0~4.0g/L, magnesium sulfate 0.1~0.5g/L, and optimum growh pH value is 8.0~11.0.

When leaching, directly leach liquor is contacted with mineral, mineral react under the effect of leach liquor, and cupric ion is leached.
This extract technology belongs to alkaline Leaching, can be leached or agitation leach realizes by dump leaching, and its technical process is made up of following basic working procedure:
(1) leach and prepare.Leach and prepare to comprise that ore is prepared and alkaline bacterium is prepared.If adopt dump leaching method to leach, ore is prepared mainly to comprise and is joined ore deposit, fragmentation, heap ore deposit; If adopt paddling process to leach, ore prepares mainly to comprise that joining ore deposit, fragmentation, ore grinding and pipeline carries.It is mainly to bacterium being carried out to extensive cultivation and domestication under alkaline condition, providing sufficient bacterial classification for soaking ore deposit that alkalescence ore-leaching bacteria is prepared.
(2) alkaline Bioleaching.Leaching operation comprises preparation, the leaching operation of leaching agent.The preparation of leaching agent refers to alkaline bacterium liquid and the liquid nutrient medium in upper operation, cultivated is mixed by a certain percentage.If operation is leached in dump leaching, that leaching agent spray is upper to ore deposit heap, carry out Leaching reaction; If agitation leach operation, adds to pulp tank by leaching agent and stirs.In leaching process, monitor leach liquor pH, if when pH < 9, add ammoniacal liquor to regulate the pH of infusion solution, ensure pH >=9 in Leaching Systems.
(3) solid-liquid separation.If adopt dump leaching to leach, can directly obtain leach liquor, leach rich solution (leach liquor Cu 2+when >1g/L) further enrichment, and leach lean solution (Cu 2+<1g/L) be back to leaching operation; If employing agitation leach, the ore pulp after leaching is delivered to settling tank, suitably adds after flocculation agent, carries out solid-liquid separation, and rich solution enters subsequent processing, and lean solution turns back to the utilization of leaching vat internal recycle again.
The technique of a kind of Bioleaching copper oxide ore of the present invention, can process copper oxide ore cost-effectively, particularly can process the high refractory copper oxide ore containing basic gangue.This technique belongs to alkaline Leaching, has following advantage:
(1) with acidleach contrast, in its leaching process, metal selective is strong, and leach liquor does not react with other metalliferous minerals; Leaching by product is less, and it is less that the leaching effect of system is affected by by product; And technique is not high to equipment requirements, environmental friendliness.
(2) soak contrast with traditional ammonia, improved the problems such as its cost is large, energy consumption is high, environmental pollution is serious, can carry out under field conditions (factors) large scale heap leaching, and without specific installation, invest little, cost is low.
