Description

Method for extracting gold from alkaline solution containing aurous thiosulfate complex based on natural eutectic solvent
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of gold extraction, in particular to a method for extracting gold from an alkaline solution containing a aurous thiosulfate complex based on a natural eutectic solvent.
Background
Cyanidation is the current mainstream process for extracting gold from ores. Because cyanide is a highly toxic chemical, a large amount of cyanide-containing tailings and cyanide-containing wastewater can be generated in the extraction process of gold, and environmental pollution is easily caused.
With the increasing concern of people on the problem of environmental pollution, the cyanidation yellow leaching process is gradually limited, and the cyanide-free environment-friendly gold leaching process is gradually valued by people. The thiosulfate has the advantages of no toxicity, low cost, good ore adaptability, high efficiency, fast leaching kinetics and the like, so the process for leaching gold from the ore by applying the thiosulfate is the most promising non-cyaniding environment-friendly gold leaching process at present.
At present, the methods for recovering gold from thiosulfate leach solutions mainly include: metal displacement, resin exchange and activated carbon adsorption. In patent CN114672660A, a three-electrode system is adopted to apply voltage to a copper-ammonia thiosulfate gold leaching solution, then a proper amount of zinc powder, copper powder and aluminum powder are added into the system to reduce gold, and the reduced solution is filtered, pickled and purified to obtain pure gold. The method has the defects of large consumption of exchange metal, complex subsequent refining process and serious environmental pollution. Patent CN107400778A reports the adsorption of gold from gold thiosulfate solutions using strongly basic anion exchange resins followed by Na 2 SO 3 And Na 2 SO 4 The mixed solution is used as a desorbent to desorb the gold-loaded thiosulfuric acid complex ions. The resin exchange method has problems of poor selectivity, easy breakage of resin, difficult elution, and the like. Patent CN111004922A reports the use of mercaptans as additive followed by the adsorption of gold using commercial activated carbon. Due to the complex Au (S) 2 O 3 ) 2 3- The negative charge of (2) is high, the affinity of the active carbon is poor, and the recovery efficiency of gold is greatly reduced.
Solvent extraction has high selectivity to metal ions and is a suitable method for recovering gold thiosulfate. Patent CN113802012A reports that gold in thiosulfate leaching solution is extracted by using solvent extraction method using diphenylphosphine and its derivatives as extractant and toluene as diluent, wherein the gold extraction rate can reach 99% at most. In the solvent extraction process, a carcinogenic solvent toluene is used as a diluent, and diphenylphosphine and derivatives thereof are GHS 07-grade harmful substances; the phase separation extraction is carried out by means of the hydrophobicity of the extracting agent and the diluting agent. The solvent extraction process often uses a large amount of toxic, volatile and difficult-to-degrade organic solvents, which easily causes environmental problems.
The natural deep eutectic solvent is a natural deep eutectic solvent which is obtained by taking a natural compound as a hydrogen bond acceptor and a hydrogen bond donor and combining hydrogen bonds, and has excellent biodegradability, environmental compatibility and stability. The eutectic solvent is mainly used in the extraction of materials with biological activity. For example, after screening various existing natural eutectic solvent systems such as melancholia and the like and performing ultrasonic extraction by using betaine, L-lactic acid and water as eutectic solvent systems, the yield of the chlorogenic acid in the eucommia ulmoides leaves is 31.46mg/g. (Yufeng, wangxiangmong, zhangyao, duxiyun, pengmy. Natural eutectic solvent extraction of eucommia leaf chlorogenic acid and its antioxidant activity [ J ] forest chemical and industry, 2022,42 (01): 101-109.)
The natural eutectic solvent is used as an extraction solvent after at least one organic matter is combined with other organic matters or inorganic matters, and is particularly suitable for extracting certain organic matters from various natural solution systems containing a large amount of complex organic matters according to the principle of similarity and intermiscibility. The natural eutectic solvent has strong hydrophilicity, is easy to dissolve in water and is not easy to dissolve in an organic diluent, so that the natural eutectic solvent is difficult to be applied to the extraction of metal ions in an aqueous solution by the traditional solvent extraction process.
However, the direct application of the natural eutectic solvent to the extraction of gold in the gold thiosulfate solution has the following problems:
(1) Au (I) in thiosulfate solutions is often a stable complex Au (S) 2 O 3 ) 2 3- Form exists due to Au (S) 2 O 3 ) 2 3- Has a high negative charge, has poor affinity with most natural eutectic solvents, and has low extraction efficiency of gold. The existing natural eutectic solvents are various in variety, but the determination of the type cannot be determinedThe eutectic solvent of the seed combination has higher extraction rate to gold;
(2) Complex impurities such as copper, cobalt and nickel are often present in thiosulfate leachate. Meanwhile, elemental sulfur, polythionates and other sulfides are often present in the solution. The complexity of the thiosulfate gold leaching chemical system increases the difficulty of extracting the thiosulfite aurous complex with a eutectic solvent with high efficiency and high selectivity.
(3) Furthermore, the natural eutectic solvent has strong hydrophilicity, is easy to dissolve in water and is not easy to dissolve in an organic diluent, so that the natural eutectic solvent is difficult to be applied to the extraction of the aurous thiosulfate complex in the aqueous solution by the traditional solvent extraction process. Thus, there has been no report on the recovery of gold from thiosulfate leaching systems using natural eutectic solvents.

(1) Deep eutectic solvent synthesis: 13.96g of choline chloride and 15.22g of xylitol were first weighed, then mixed and stirred at 80 ℃ for 2 hours to obtain a uniform and transparent eutectic solvent, followed by characterization by Fourier infrared spectroscopy, as shown in FIG. 5. The results showed that, after the formation of the natural eutectic solvent, the absorption band of-OH was dispersed and broadened, with a frequency of 3394.26cm for pure xylitol -1 Red shift to 3372.82cm -1 . Proves that intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between-OH at the terminal position of the xylitol and chloride ions in choline chloride, and proves that the natural eutectic solvent choline chloride-xylitol is successfully synthesized.
(2) Adding a solution containing 2.00g of potassium phosphate (the concentration of the potassium phosphate is 32.0 wt%) into 1.25g of the natural eutectic solvent, then adding 1.0mL of a gold thiosulfate solution with the concentration of 10.0mg/L of gold, and finally adding deionized water with the pH value of 9.0 to supplement the total weight of the aqueous two-phase system to 5.0g, so as to obtain the natural eutectic solvent/potassium phosphate aqueous two-phase system. Three replicates were run for each set of experiments.
(3) After the preparation of the natural eutectic solvent aqueous two-phase system is finished, the system is placed on a constant-temperature oscillator at the temperature of 25 ℃ for oscillation for 10min, the whole system is ensured to be uniformly mixed, and then the system is kept stand for 10min. After the phase separation was completed, the volume of the lower phase (inorganic salt-rich phase) was measured, followed by measuring the concentration of gold in the inorganic salt-rich phase with a flame atomic spectrophotometer.
(4) The extraction rate of gold in the natural eutectic solvent phase of the method provided in this example was calculated to be 100.0% according to equation (1).
(5) Gold enriched in the natural eutectic solvent is reduced by hydrazine hydrate to obtain pure gold.
