Background technology
Gold must just can obtain the simple substance gold through electrolysis after handling through cyaniding, but the waste liquid after the electrolysis can produce a large amount of muddy throw outs in treating processes, be called " pond sludge " traditionally, and its main component is gac and sal.And all contain a large amount of gold (content does not wait to more than 1,000 gram/tons from several hectograms/ton) in the pond sludge, if can extract and will be a great riches.Coagulate cotton-shaped attitude because gac in the pond sludge and sal are, and contained gold granules is superfine, mostly below 1 μ m, be wrapped in gac and sal coagulate cotton-shaped in; And there is one deck coating on the gold granules surface, makes the extraction chemistry reaction be difficult to carry out; Therefore, if without processing and directly cyaniding to leach be the gold that impossible extract with high extraction yield wherein.
For this reason, extracting gold from from pond sludge at present must be at first with the pre-treatment of pond sludge process, and the best way is exactly by calcination method, and then will leach by cyanide process through incinerating pond sludge.But this method can be discharged poisonous fume in calcination process, and the extraction yield of energy consumption height, production cost height, gold is low, still contains tens of gram gold in the final pond sludge and can not be extracted utilization.And calcination method handles pond sludge and extracts gold from, and the environmental pollution that is caused also is a problem demanding prompt solution.
In the non-ferrous metals industry in the production process, produce a large amount of anode sludge, negative electrode mud, the general designation electrolytic slime, wherein contain noble metals such as gold and silver, also contain various objectionable impuritiess (mercury, chromium etc.), existing extraction process falls behind mostly, just causes environmental pollution in its treating processes, because extraction yield is low, has caused huge waste.
Therefore develop a kind of advanced technology, gold extraction yield height, free of contamination novel technique is very necessary.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is for a kind of extraction yield height, pollution-free, the method that extracts gold from cheaply are provided.
For achieving the above object, the present invention has adopted following technical scheme:

The ratio of gold molar content is 1.1: 1~12: 1 in the molar content of the chemical extraction agent that is added and the ore pulp.
Described ultra-fine processing is carried out in ultrafine eddy flow attitude grinding machine.
Described solid-liquid separation is meant carries out centrifugation under the condition of 1500~1800r/min.
Owing to adopted above scheme, be that the beneficial effect that the present invention possesses is:
The method that extracts gold from of the present invention, be to adopt nanotechnology, with the ultra-fine granularity that is processed into of ore pulp at the ore pulp below 1 micron, thereby the gold that is wrapped is separated with its associated mineral, gold granules is fully exposed and coating also is stripped from, and extraction process can fully be carried out; Method operational condition gentleness of the present invention, production process is continuous, and is nontoxic, free from environmental pollution, the extraction yield height, special in the pond sludge gold that is difficult to leach, extraction yield significantly improves, and can bring immense value for enterprise and society; And the method that extracts gold from of the present invention has been saved calcining step, compares with traditional method, and investment cost and productive expense are few, and cost greatly reduces, and can replace existing calcining-cyanide process, is more suitable for national conditions, applies at home easilier.Such as, method of the present invention at home the extraction rate reached to 99.5% in the tame large-scale gold mine industrialization production process (containing gold in the former pond sludge is 218.92 gram/tons, containing gold in the pond sludge after extracting is 0.6 gram/ton, only this factory uses 220 kilograms of the annual just many volume increase gold of this technology, promptly increase by 2,640 ten thousand yuan of the output values, and the cost of every extraction one gram gold only needs 5.6 yuan/gram, and added value is high!
In preferable methods of the present invention, adopt and carry out dynamic extraction in the ultra-fine treating processes synchronously, the chemical extraction agent is fully contacted in dynamic process with gold granules, and because specific surface area is big, so react very abundant, reaction times shortens greatly, and the gold extraction yield further improves, and is up to 99.9%.
Embodiment
In the method that from pond sludge or electrolytic slime, extracts gold from, comprise the steps:
1) pond sludge or electrolytic slime being made solid content is 30%~50% ore pulp.Solid content surpasses 50%, and the viscosity height is unfavorable for the ultra-fine separation of gold, and solid content is lower than 30%, and effectively treatment capacity is low, can corresponding raising production cost.
2) ore pulp being dropped into the ultra-fine granularity that is processed into of grinding machine is the ore pulp of nanometer to sub-micrometer scale: be about to ore pulp and drop into preferably that to carry out the ultra-fine granularity that is processed in the ultrafine eddy flow attitude grinding machine be that nanometer scale is that granularity is not less than 12000 purpose ore pulps below 1 micron.Enter the ore pulp in the ultrafine eddy flow attitude grinding machine, because the radius apart from the axle center does not wait in the horizontal direction, thereby linear velocity difference, and have a plurality of linear velocities, therefore rotation in the horizontal direction is a speed-change process, suffered shearing, extruding, the collision of different sections at the same inner core of ultrafine eddy flow attitude grinding machine, significantly improved grinding efficiency, the disintegration of mineral internal tiny crack by ultra-fine be processed into granularity be submicron to the particle of nanometer scale below 1 micron, gold granules is fully exposed and coating also is stripped from.
