Description

Method for leaching copper, gold and silver from sulfide ore
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method for leaching copper, gold and silver from sulfide ores.
Background
Chalcopyrite is a copper-iron sulfide mineral, and the wet leaching method of the chalcopyrite mainly focuses on the directions of bioleaching, normal-pressure chlorine salt leaching, ammonia leaching, pressure acid leaching and the like. Biological metallurgy is a new technology which is intersected with microbiology and hydrometallurgy, but the application of the biological metallurgy is influenced by the properties of ores, geographical conditions and regional environments, and the biological metallurgy is difficult to be applied to the large scale of industry. Aiming at the characteristics of poor chalcopyrite bioleaching effect and long leaching period, the chalcopyrite bioleaching still has a long way. The leaching process of normal-pressure chlorine salt leaching is complex, the equipment is seriously corroded, and the cycle of leaching the chalcopyrite is long, so that the development and application of the chalcopyrite are restricted. Although ammonia leaching has the advantage of being operated under non-corrosive conditions, the ammonia leaching has the defects of large equipment investment and unsuitability for large-scale batch production due to oxygen consumption in the leaching process, and the application is not wide.
The most widely applied is pressure leaching at present, and the pressure leaching technology of the chalcopyrite is divided into three types, one is low-temperature leaching at the temperature of 110-115 ℃, and sulfur in copper sulfide ore is converted into elemental sulfur; the second is moderate temperature leaching at 130-150 ℃, which improves chalcopyrite dissolution by increasing temperature and adding some chloride; the third is high temperature leaching at 200-220 c, where chalcopyrite leaching is rapid, sulphide minerals are fully oxidised by oxygen at high pressure and the copper is leached into solution as copper sulphate. However, the high-pressure leaching has the defects of large equipment investment, high equipment corrosion resistance requirement and the like. The wet leaching of gold and silver is usually carried out by cyanidation leaching, and although the cyanidation leaching technology is mature, the leaching agent cyanide has the defects of high toxicity, low leaching speed and the like. Therefore, the development of a new, green, environmentally friendly and sustainable sulfide leaching method is urgent.
