Abstract
Η προτεινόμενη μέθοδος αναφέρεται στον εκλεκτικό διαχωρισμό με επίπλευση σιδηροπυρίτη και αρσενοπυρίτη από δυσκατέργαστο συμπύκνωμα ή μετάλλευμα χρυσοφόρων αρσενικούχων πυριτών και την μεταλλουργική κατεργασία των δύο διακεκριμένων δυσκατέργαστων προϊόντων σε ένα συνολικό κύκλωμα περιβαλλοντικά συμβατών πυρομεταλλουργικών και υδρομεταλλοργικών μεθόδων και τεχνικών.Για τον διαχωρισμό της αρχικής τροφοδοσίας εφαρμόζεται επίπλευση του δυσκατέργαστου σιδηροπυρίτη με ξανθογονικά αντιδραστήρια (ΚΡΧ) και αφριστικά, αφού προηγηθεί εκλεκτική καταστολή του αρσενοπυρίτη με την προσθήκη Na2S σε αλκαλικό περιβάλλον, Σχήμα 1.Η μεταλλουργική κατεργασία του δυσκατέργαστου προϊόντος του αρσενοπυρίτη, Σχήμα 2, όπου συγκεντρώνεται το σύνολο του αρσενικού και το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό του χρυσού της τροφοδοσίας, περιλαμβάνει στάδιο οξειδωτικής προκατεργασίας, είτε με υδατική οξείδωση υπό πίεση με εμφύσηση καθαρού οξυγόνου, είτε με βακτηριακή οξείδωση, είτε με ένα συνδυασμό κατά σειρά των παραπάνω δύο τεχνικών, για την αποδέσμευση του περιεχομένου χρυσού, που ανακτάται ποσοτικά στο συνακόλουθο στάδιο της κυάνωσης. Το δυσκατέργαστο συμπύκνωμα του σιδηροπυρίτη, Σχήμα 3, όπου περιέχεται το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του θείου και ο υπόλοιπος χρυσός της τροφοδοσίας, λόγω της χαμηλής περιεκτκότητας σε αρσενικό είναι πλέον κατάλληλο για κατεργασία με την πυρομεταλλουργική μέθοδο της οξειδωτικής φρύξης σε συνδυασμό με μονάδα παραγωγής θειϊκού οξέος από τα καπναέρια. Το παραγόμενο φρύγμα οδηγείται στο κύκλωμα της υδρομεταλλουργικής κατεργασίας του δυσκατέργαστου αρσενοπυρίτη, για την ανάκτηση του περιεχομένου χρυσού και τροφοδοτείται ανάλογα με την σύστασή του, είτε στο στάδιο της οξειδωτικής προκατεργασίας, είτε απ' ευθείας στο κύκλωμα της κυάνωσης.Σύμφωνα με τον παραπάνω συνδυασμό τεχνικών και εναλλακτικών διεργασιών η εφεύρεση παρέχει μια ευέλικτη, οικονομική και περιβαλλοντικά συμβατή μέθοδο, που μπορεί να εφαρμοσθεί σε διαφόρους τύπους δυσκατέργαστων μεταλλευμάτων ή συμπυκνωμένων χρυσοφόρων αρσενικούχων πυριτών.ωThe proposed method refers to the selective flotation separation of ferropyrite and arsenopyrite from crude concentrate or gold-bearing arsenide pyrites ore and the metallurgical processing of the two distinguished crude products in a total circuit of environmentally compatible pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods and techniques. For the separation of the initial feed, flotation is applied of crude ferropyrite with xanthogenic reagents (CPR) and foaming agents, after selective suppression of arsenopyrite by the addition of Na2S in an alkaline environment, Figure 1. The metallurgical treatment of the crude product of arsenopyrite, Figure 2, where all the arsenic is concentrated and the largest percentage of the feed gold, includes an oxidative pretreatment stage, either by aqueous oxidation under pressure with pure oxygen blowing, or by bacterial oxidation, or by a sequential combination of the above two techniques , to release the gold content, which is quantitatively recovered in the subsequent cyanosis stage. The crude ferropyrite concentrate, Figure 3, containing most of the sulfur and the rest of the feed gold, due to its low arsenic content is now suitable for processing by the pyrometallurgical method of oxidative roasting in conjunction with a sulfuric acid production unit from flue gases. The produced tailings is led to the circuit of the hydrometallurgical treatment of the rough arsenopyrite, to recover the gold content and is fed depending on its composition, either to the oxidative pretreatment stage, or directly to the cyanosis circuit. According to the above combination of techniques and of alternative processes, the invention provides a flexible, economical and environmentally compatible method, which can be applied to various types of rough ores or concentrated gold-bearing arsenide pyrites.
