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 gold extraction method, 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. Cyanide is extremely toxic, harmful to the environment, and has poor leaching effect on gold ores containing copper and carbon. Therefore, developing clean, nontoxic non-cyanide gold extraction technology is of great significance to the healthy development of the gold industry. The thiosulfate method is widely regarded as a non-cyanide gold extraction method which has the potential to replace the cyanide method, and has the advantages of environment-friendly and nontoxic reagent, low price, good selectivity to hardware, insensitivity to gold robbing carbon, high gold leaching rate, and the like, but the leaching rate of the thiosulfate method is very slow without a 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 consumption of leaching agent, environmental threat of ammonia and complex gold leaching recovery process, and seriously hinders industrial application and popularization. Copper-ammonia catalysisCu (NH) in leaching solution of chemical system 3 ) 4 2+ For S 2 O 3 2- The strong oxidation of (1-1) results in high leaching agent consumption. Although the ion exchange resin adsorption method is widely considered to be optimal for recovering gold from the leachate, cu (S 2 O 3 ) 3 5- And Au (S) 2 O 3 ) 2 3- The complex ions generate strong competitive adsorption on the surface of the resin, so that copper and gold must be desorbed before gold is desorbed when gold-loaded resin is desorbed, otherwise, the purity of gold desorption liquid is seriously affected. Therefore, gold recovery processes are complex, and the high volatility and high toxicity of ammonia also pose a major threat to the atmosphere and water. Accordingly, many researchers have recently conducted research into new catalytic systems in an effort to replace the conventional copper-ammonia catalytic systems.
2Cu(NH 3 ) 4 2+ +8S 2 O 3 2- =2Cu(S 2 O 3 ) 3 5- +8NH 3 +S 4 O 6 2- (1-1)。
While new catalytic systems are currently less investigated. Currently, there are studies: aiming at a carbonaceous sulfide-type gold ore which is specially used in Goldstrike mine and is pretreated by pressure oxidation, a NH-free gold ore is developed by Barrickgold company 3 Cu (I) -CaS of (C) 2 O 3 The leaching of the system achieves higher gold recovery, but the system still has Cu (S 2 O 3 ) 3 5- For Au (S) 2 O 3 ) 2 3- Adsorption on the resin surface is strongly competing. For the easily-immersed quartz vein type gold ore, researchers use Cu (II) -EDA to catalyze S 2 O 3 2– Leaching, prolonging the leaching time of the system, reaching the gold leaching rate equivalent to copper-ammonia catalysis, and S 2 O 3 2– The consumption of ethylene diamine is significantly reduced, but the ethylene diamine is high in toxicity and high in price, and the application of the ethylene diamine is limited. Also have researchers directed to Fe (III) -EDTA or Fe (III) -C 2 O 4 2– The process of catalyzing thiosulfate leaching gold is studied, but the iron-based catalyst bodyThe pH is strictly required, and the catalytic capability thereof requires the addition of thiourea which is possibly carcinogenic to increase the leaching rate of gold. For one silicate type and four sulfide type gold ores, there are researchers using Ni (II) -NH 3 Catalysis S 2 O 3 2– Leaching studies, results show that Ni (II) -NH 3 The catalysis can reach leaching Jin Nengli which is equivalent to copper-ammonia catalysis, the consumption of leaching agent is obviously reduced, and the recovery rate of gold in leaching liquid by a resin adsorption method is higher, but the system still needs to use ammonia which is not environment-friendly.
In summary, the existing new catalytic system can not completely solve the three problems of large consumption of leaching agent, environmental threat of ammonia and complex gold recovery process existing in the copper-ammonia catalytic thiosulfate method gold extraction.
