Definitions
- This invention relates to the extraction of metal compounds from metal bearing materials and more particularly to the extraction and recovery of lead values in a calcium plumbate and/or oxide product from minerals or lead bearing materials.
- Silver which may be present in association with the lead may be recovered as native silver, silver chloride, sulfide or sulphate, or a silver complex with other metals, or in some other form from which it can be recovered by conventional techniques.
- Substantial reserves of lead and silver also exist in leach residues from electrolytic zinc plants. These residues typically assay 15-40% lead as lead sulphate and for the most part are considered as unsuitable as feed for a conventional lead smelter except in small amounts.
- Another source of low grade materials is slag from lead smelters. Lead is presently recovered from these slags by energy intensive fuming processes. The present process can be employed directly to recover lead and silver from zinc plant residues and after either sulphuric acid leaching or sulphation roasting to recover lead and silver from slags.
- West German Patent 2,500,453, (1976) describes a method of leaching lead sulphate containing material in sodium chloride solution and after residue separation, precipitating the Pb from solution with milk of lime.
- the lead precipitates contain greater than 10% chloride and 11% sulphate and are not acceptable to conventional lead smelters except in small amount and at depressed prices due to the deleterious effects of chlorides on acid plant catalysts, baghouses, and refractories.
- Australian Patent 28,957, (1971) describes a method of precipitating lead chloride from brine solution by cooling followed by reacting said lead chloride with water and calcium sulphate to produce a lead sulphate precipitate and calcium chloride solution.
- low chloride levels in the lead sulphate were obtainable with rigorous washing, the product is again suitable to lead smelters in limited quantities and must be treated on a sinter machine to remove sulphur before the blast.
- Capital and operating costs are projected to be high for the process since the brine solution must be heated for high lead solubility and then cooled for lead chloride precipitation.
- Canadian Patent 228,518, (1919) describes a method of lead recovery from concentrated brine solution by direct precipitation as sulphide or sulphate. These precipitates are difficult to wash and contain significant amounts of entrapped chlorides. Again conventional lead smelters will accept only small quantities.
- Canadian Patent 19,918 describes a method of precipitating lead and silver from brine solution by cementation on metallic zinc. Recently other researchers have rediscovered the cementation technique and advocate either zinc or iron as cementation media. High grade metallic lead and silver cementates are produced in these processes which are acceptable to lead smelters at premium prices at high tonnage. Considerable economic penalties are incurred to produce good quality cementates, however, since the cementation reagents are expensive and the zinc or iron in the lean brine resulting from cementation must be recovered in a form acceptable for sale or reuse. This can be accomplished only at considerable cost.
- French Patent 2,297,253 describes a process for recovery of lead values which comprises (a) preparing a solution of lead chloride by treatment of a lead sulphate-containing material with a chloride- containing solution; (b) removing insoluble material from the solution thus obtained; (c) precipitating lead oxychloride from the solution by the addition of lime; (d) separating the precipitate thus formed; and (e) fusing the precipitate with lime, carbon and iron to recover the lead.
- a process for gaining lead and silver values comprising the steps of (a) preparing a solution of lead chloride and silver compounds by dissolving lead sulphate and silver compounds contained in an ore or process residue in an acidic concentrated chloride brine; (b) separating the solution so formed from insoluble gangue or other residue; and (c) forming a precipitate of lead oxychloride and silver compounds by adding lime to said solution and separating said precipitate from the residual lean brine solution, characterised by the further steps of (1) reacting the said oxychloride precipitate with oxygen and lime in a reactor at an elevated temperature to produce a calcine containing most of the lead as calcium plumbates and/or lead oxides and most of the silver as silver or silver compounds; (2) washing said calcine in water and/or dilute chloride brine to dissolve soluble chlorides; and (3) separating the resulting residue containing calcium plumbates and/or lead oxides, as well as silver and silver compounds, from the resulting chloride
- Step (a) is preferably performed at a temperature in the range 30°C to the boiling point of the chloride brine, at a pH between 1.5 and 4.5, and a retention time of 0.5-2.5 hours.
- the chloride brine advantageously comprises a solution of one or more inorganic chlorides in water, which at room temperature is saturated or nearly saturated.
- the mole ratio of lime to lead is advantageously from 0.75 to 5.5, and preferably 1.5; the retention time is advantageously 0.5-2.5 hours and the temperature in the range 30°C to the boiling point of the chloride brine.
- part of the silver is recovered from the lead sulphate containing material by flotation prior to step (a).
- Silver may be recovered between steps (b) and (c) by cementation on one of metallic zinc, iron, or lead.
- Silver and lead, or lead alone, may be recovered in the residue from step (3).
- step (1) the lime reacted with the oxychloride precipitate is advantageously such as to increase the total lime additions in step (c) and step (1) to between 1.75 and 5.5, preferably 3.0, mole ratio to lead.
- the lime in step (a) may in fact be constituted by excess lime present in the precipitate from step (c); fresh lime may be added to supplement the excess lime in the precipitate from step (c).
- the mole ratio of oxygen to lead in step (1) is preferably in excess of 0.5.
- a process for gaining lead values comprising forming a precipitate of lead oxychloride by adding lime to a chloride brine solution containing lead chloride, and separating said lead oxychloride from the residual lean brine solution, characterised by the steps of (1) reacting the said precipitate with oxygen and lime in a reactor at an elevated temperature to produce a calcine containing most of the lead as calcium plumbates and/or lead oxides; (2) washing said calcine in water and/or dilute chloride brine to dissolve soluble chlorides; and (3) separating the resulting residue containing calcium plumbates and/or lead oxides from the resulting chloride brine.
- step (3) The residue obtained in step (3) is preferably washed with fresh water to remove residual chlorides.
- the chloride brines resulting from the various process steps can be recycled for reuse in the process.
- the chloride brine advantageously comprises calcium chloride, preferably with a mole ratio of calcium chloride to lead sulphate greater than 4.
- the chloride brine may also include one or both of sodium and magnesium chloride.
- Step (1) is preferably performed at a temperature above 325°C for longer than 0.5 hours, more preferably at 400°C for 1.0 hours.
- the oxygen is conveniently in the form of air.
- Lead and silver extractions into brine can be accelerated by increasing the acidity by addition of an acid such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid which will ensure at least mildly acidic conditions.
- an acid such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid which will ensure at least mildly acidic conditions.
- the optimum pH in the brine leach for high lead and silver extraction, efficient residue washing, and low lime consumption appears to be about 1.5.
- Extractions of lead from lead sulphate material into brine are very high and may approach 99% with the proper choice of retention time, temperature, brine composition, and residue washing techniques as long as the solubility limit of the lead is not approached.
- Lead extractions fall from 99% at 75% of lead chloride saturation to 96% at 86% of saturation to 91 % at 94% of saturation for brine leaching in 269 gpl NaCl - 33 gpl CaCI 2 - pH 1.5 brine at 35°C and 1.5 hours leaching time.
- the saturation limit of lead as lead chloride in this brine is 18.3 gpl.
- Silver extraction by brine is very dependent on the nature and prior history of the lead sulphate containing material. Some materials, usually those which have been very recently produced in a roaster or leach process exhibit silver extractions greater than 80%. Other materials, usually stockpiled, exhibit lower silver extractions of about 50%. Silver recoveries can be increased from these materials by flotation recovery of a silver concentrate and using the present process on the flotation tailings which contain most of the lead and all the remaining silver. The silver flotation concentrate and the plumbate product can then be combined for sale to conventional lead smelters. Flotation processes such as described by Moriyama, E. and Yamamoto, Y. in AIME World Symposium of Mining and Metallurgy of Lead and Zinc, Vol. II, 1970, page 215 have been shown to yield silver concentrates with high silver assays and recoveries from lead sulphate containing materials.
- Silver can be removed from the brine leach solution by cementation on a suitable metallic medium such as zinc, iron, or lead. With proper stoichiometric conditions, retention time, and pH nearly all the silver can be recovered in a high grade metallic product containing some little lead and copper as contaminants. Lead along with the solubilized cementation agent would then be recovered in the plumbate product as in steps (3)-(9).
- the lead compounds formed will depend on the pH or the mole ratio of base to lead chloride and the total chloride concentration. Table 1 shows the effect of these variables on the nature of the lead precipitate when lead is precipitated from a brine solution containing 15 gpi lead as lead chloride at 45°C and a retention time of 1.5 hours. Shorter retention times can be employed but chloride levels in the precipitate will increase unless the temperature is increased above 45°C. Silver is coprecipitated with lead. Most of the brine soluble impurities which are present in the lead sulphate containing starting material such as zinc, copper, iron, bismuth, and arsenic also coprecipitate with lead. The best process economics are obtained with lime as the precipitation agent at an addition rate between 1.0 and 5.5 mole ratio of lime to lead chloride. The excess lime also acts as flocculating agent for oxychloride precipitate, resulting in improved solid/liquid separation.
- the precipitate is repulped with water or any reasonably unsaturated brine solution produced in the process.
- Lime is added to the pulp to bring the mole ratio of the total lime addition in the process to between 2.5 and 5.5.
- the pulp is subjected to thermal treatment.
- the lead oxychloride precipitate may be blended with lime to increase the total mole ratio to between 2.5 and 5.5, without repulping and the blend subjected to thermal treatment.
- step (3) If the lime addition in step (3) was greater than 2.5 mole ratio to lead, then repulping and/or further lime addition is not necessary before thermal treatment.
- the lead oxychloride-lime blend is heated in a reactor in the presence of oxygen or air.
- the reactor can be a rotary kiln, furnace, roaster, autoclave or any device commonly used for thermal treatment.
- the retention time in the reactor depends upon the desired degree of conversion of oxychloride to plumbate and oxide, the temperature in the reactor, the lime to lead mole ratio, and the oxygen partial pressure. The effects of these variables on the nature of the calcine product are shown in Table 2. At reaction temperatures above 500°C sintering of the product appears and volatilization of lead chloride begins.
- Preferred conditions appear to be a total process lime addition to lead mole ratio of about 3, a reaction temperature of about 400°C, a retention time of about 1 hour, and an excess of oxygen for lead oxidation. Pressure above atmospheric is not required for the reaction to be complete within 2 hours. Sufficient air or oxygen can be supplied for the reaction by convection, free or forced, or by pressurizing the reactor.
- Calcium orthoplumbate (Ca 2 PbO 4 is formed at high yields with such low temperatures and short retention times.
- Calcium orthoplumbate in a pure form (>90%) is a valuable commodity and is used in the manufacture of primers for steel and galvanized steel, of pigments and of binders for paints. It also has use in the plastics and resin industries.
- the common commercial production method is the reaction of PbO with lime and air or oxygen at temperatures above 700°C. The reaction kinetics are reportedly slow below this temperature and the reaction will not go below 500°C. It has been reported by Denev, D.G. et al in Dokl. Bolg. Akad. Nauk, Vol.
- the present invention differs from the customary practice in that the reagent for calcination is lead oxychloride and not lead oxide. Also, the oxychloride is contaminated with significant quantities of NaCl and CaCI2. Accordingly, the kinetics and energetics of plumbate formation have been altered significantly from commercial experience.
- Figure 3 is a schematic plant layout for a particular embodiment of the invention relating to example 1.
- Samples of hot sulphuric acid leach residues obtained from the sulphation roasting and leaching of bulk zinc-lead-copper-silver sulphide concentrates assaying 30-32% Zn, 3.5-10% Pb, 0.7% Cu, 4.4-8.8 oz/ST (troy ounce per short ton) silver, and 14-23% iron were processed accordingly to the invention.
- a sample (example 10) of a hot acid leach residue from a dead roast zinc plant was also processed. The residues assayed as in Table 3.
- One pregnant brine solution (example #6) was treated with zinc dust at an addition rate of 0.5 gpl producing a cementate containing 99% of the silver, 95% of the copper and 80% of the bismuth in the pregnant brine.
- the remaining pregnant brines and the solution resulting from the zinc dust cementation test were then treated with lime at 1.5 mole ratio to lead in the brine solution.
- the temperature and retention time were 45°C and 1.5 hours respectively.
- Precipitates were allowed to settle and the thickened precipitates filtered.
- the precipitates in all tests were then blended with lime, as required, to bring the total mole ratio of lime added to the process to lead in the precipitate to 1.75-5.5.
- the blends were treated in an oven with a slow purge of fresh air for 1.0 hours at 400°C.
- the calcines were repulped to 50% pulp density for 15 minutes in fresh water and filtered and displacement washed with a volume of water equal to the calcine repulp water.
- the assays (dry basis) of the resulting plumbate products are given in Table 6.
- a sample of the hot sulfuric acid leach residue used in example 5 was repulped in water at 10% pulp density, American Cyanamid flotation reagents Aero 404 (trade mark) promoter and Aerofroth 77A (trade mark) (frother) were added at 600 g and 60 g per metric ton of residue respectively. After 5 minutes conditioning time, flotation was initiated and a stable froth was maintained for about 7.5 minutes. The concentrate obtained assayed 18% Pb, 24% Fe, 1.8% Zn, and 635 oz/ST silver. Silver recovery from the head material was 70%.
- the process of this invention may be applied to the recovery of metals from a variety of metallurgical products such as ores and concentrates, smelter dusts, metal drosses, middling concentrates from flotation processing, slags and process residues, and other like sources of iead and silver.
