Description

Method for extracting gold by catalyzing thiosulfate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for extracting gold by catalyzing thiosulfate.
Background
In the extraction method of gold, the cyanidation method has been used for more than 100 years, has the advantages of simple and mature process, high gold recovery rate and the like, and is the main gold extraction technology in the gold industry at present. However, cyanide is extremely toxic and harmful to the environment, and has poor leaching effect on copper-containing and carbon-containing gold ores. Therefore, the development of a clean and nontoxic non-cyaniding gold extraction technology has important significance for the healthy development of the gold industry. The thiosulfate method is a non-cyaniding gold extraction method which is widely considered to have the most potential to replace cyaniding, has the advantages of environment-friendly and non-toxic reagent, low price, better selectivity to gold, insensitivity to gold robbing carbon, high gold leaching rate and capability of being carried out in an alkaline mediumAnd the like, but the leaching rate of the thiosulfate method is very slow in the absence of the catalyst. Therefore, the traditional technology needs to introduce a copper-ammonia catalytic system to improve the gold leaching rate, but has three problems of large leaching agent consumption, ammonia threatening environment and complex gold recovery process of leaching liquid, and seriously hinders the industrial application and popularization of the technology. Cu (NH) in leaching solution of copper-ammonia catalytic system3)4 2+To S2O3 2-The strong oxidation (reaction formula shown in 1-1) results in a large leaching agent consumption. The ion exchange resin adsorption method is widely considered to be most suitable for recovering gold from the leachate, but due to the similarity of the ligand type and the electronic structure, Cu (S)2O3)3 5-And Au (S)2O3)2 3-The complex ions generate strong competitive adsorption on the surface of the resin, so that copper must be desorbed first and then gold must be desorbed when the gold-loaded resin is desorbed, otherwise, the purity of the gold desorption solution is seriously influenced. Therefore, the gold recovery process is complicated, and the volatility and high toxicity of ammonia pose a great threat to the atmosphere and water bodies. Therefore, many researchers have recently conducted research into new catalytic systems in an attempt to replace the conventional copper-ammonia catalytic system.
2Cu(NH3)4 2++8S2O3 2-=2Cu(S2O3)3 5-+8NH3+S4O6 2- (1-1)。
While new catalytic systems are currently under investigation. Currently, there are studies: an NH-free gold ore of the sulphide type with carbon, pretreated by pressure oxidation, specific to Goldstrike's mine, developed by Barrickgold3Cu (I) -CaS of2O3The system carries out leaching to obtain higher gold recovery rate, but Cu (S) still exists in the system2O3)3 5-For Au (S)2O3)2 3-Adsorption on the resin surface creates a strong competition. For easily-leached quartz vein-type gold ore, researchers have used Cu (II) -EDA to catalyze S2O3 2–Leaching, prolonging the leaching time of the system, and reaching the effect ofCopper-ammonia catalyzed equivalent gold leaching rate, and S2O3 2–The consumption of the catalyst is remarkably reduced, but the ethylene diamine has high toxicity and high price, and the application of the ethylene diamine is limited. There have also been studies on Fe (III) -EDTA or Fe (III) -C2O4 2–The catalytic thiosulfate gold leaching process is researched, but the iron-based catalytic system has strict requirements on pH, and the catalytic capability of the iron-based catalytic system needs to be added with thiourea which can be carcinogenic so as to improve the leaching rate of gold. For gold ores of one silicate type and four sulfide types, Ni (II) -NH has been used by researchers3Catalysis of S2O3 2–The leaching research shows that Ni (II) -NH3The catalysis can achieve the gold leaching capacity equivalent to that of copper-ammonia catalysis, the consumption of a leaching agent is obviously reduced, the recovery rate of gold in a leaching solution by a resin adsorption method is higher, but ammonia which is not environment-friendly still needs to be used in the system.
In conclusion, the existing research of new catalytic systems can not completely solve the three problems of large leaching agent consumption, environmental threat of ammonia and complex gold recovery process in the gold extraction by the copper-ammonia catalytic thiosulfate method.
