Definitions
- Copper concentrates commercially exploited by large mining companies exhibit an increasingly high arsenic law (> 0.5%) that prevents these materials from being destined directly to the smelting furnace, without violating current environmental regulations regarding arsenic content that is expelled in the gases emitted from the smelter.
- arsenic law > 0.5% that prevents these materials from being destined directly to the smelting furnace, without violating current environmental regulations regarding arsenic content that is expelled in the gases emitted from the smelter.
- One way to solve the problem of high arsenic content in the foundry is to mix with concentrates with low arsenic content.
- concentrates with low arsenic content is increasingly scarce, hindering the mixing ability.
- Many research and development efforts have been made to overcome this problem and allow mining companies to continue on the path of productivity and competitiveness.
- there is still no competitive process or dominant technology in the industry that allows copper concentrates to be conditioned with a high arsenic content.
- the process described in the present application consists in selectively leaching the arsenic present in copper concentrates and other arsenic-containing materials (with an efficiency greater than 90%) obtaining a stable solid compound with a concentration of arsenic less than or equal to 0 ,5%.
- Leaching is carried out in an alkaline medium, using a reactor with overpressure of air or pure oxygen, at a temperature between 100 ° C and 220 ° C and for times between 0.5 and 2.5 hours.
- a solid / liquid separation is performed to obtain a solid with low arsenic content that meets commercial specifications or that allows its recirculation or mixing in the production process, and a solution containing dissolved arsenic, in its oxidation state +5, in the form of arsenate (AsO4 3 ).
- Said solution is subjected to a dissolved arsenic abatement process by the addition of reagents that allow obtaining an environmentally stable precipitate.
- the process is applicable to materials containing arsenic and / or selenium, leaching them both selectively.
- Selenium if present, follows the same arsenic route in terms of its presence in the solutions and the abatement methods, remaining in the same precipitates together with the arsenic.
- the process considers partial or total recirculation of the alkaline solution in order to optimize reagent consumption. Similarly, sodium sulfate is generated in the process, which can be arranged or recovered by crystallization or related process, with the purpose of recycling water and obtaining a byproduct.
- Arsenic is present in copper ore primarily as Enargita (Cu 3 AsS 4 ), arsenic is also found as Tenantite (Cui 2 As 4 Si 3 ), in less abundance.
- arsenic in sulfur form, such as AsS, AS2S3 or other arsenic sulfides, as well as in iron ores, such as arsenopyrite (FeAsS).
- arsenic could be present as an oxide, such as arsenolite (AS2O3).
- Acid leaching generally uses sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) as a leaching agent, where leaching in most cases is carried out at atmospheric pressure.
- H 2 SO 4 sulfuric acid
- the dissolution of arsenic from the concentrate is not selective, this means that in addition to leaching the arsenic from the sulphided material, elements of interest such as copper are also leached.
- the reagents that have been most studied to carry out leaching are mixtures of NaOH with the following reagents: NaHS or Na 2 S, obtaining reducing conditions, or with NaCIO, achieving oxidizing conditions.
- Processes that use NaHS or Na 2 S as leaching agents are characterized by their high selectivity.
- the results of this process indicate a 99% removal of arsenic at a temperature of 60 ° C, within a residence time range of up to 120 minutes.
- the concentration of NaCIO is 0.3 M where 0.05 g / l of NaOH is also added, to work with pH close to 12.
- the liquid / solid ratio in this process is 1600.
- the problems that this process has are the high consumption of NaCIO, which increases treatment costs, and that it is not possible to use it when the copper concentrate has high grades of covelite (CuS), because this compound is soluble in a CIO7OH medium. " This process It has not had application at the industrial level.
- alkaline leaching in the case of the removal of arsenic from copper concentrates, the alkaline leaching alternative in an oxidizing environment offers the best chance of successful results.
- alkaline leaching has the characteristic that it is selective, that is, it only promotes the dissolution of arsenic from the sulphide material, without leaching species of interest such as copper, gold and silver.
- the environment in which alkaline leaching develops is oxidizing, it will favor the appearance of arsenate ion (AsO 4 "3 ) which is a compound that is possible to precipitate, producing compounds that are chemically stable. which are suitable for safe disposal.
- the liquors resulting from the alkaline pressure leaching of Cu concentrates and other materials that have a high As content, can reach concentrations of up to 20.0 g / l, which becomes an important problem because The high content of As limits the recirculation of the liquor, due to the evident accumulation of As in the system, nor does it allow its discarding due to environmental impact regulations.
- the precipitation of As from liquors can be carried out through various techniques. The most used and studied are the following: precipitation-coagulation (or co-precipitation) of insoluble species of As, adsorption, electro-techniques (electrocoagulation, electrodialysis, others), nanofiltration, reduction and oxidation.
- Precipitation techniques are mainly used to lower large amounts of As in solution (of the order of some g / l) but in general they do not allow to reach by themselves the environmental requirements (in the order of mg / l).
- Oxidation techniques rather than techniques by themselves, consist of pre-treatments for precipitation techniques. If As is predominantly As +5 , precipitation techniques work effectively eliminating most of it. If As is predominantly As +3 , precipitation techniques do not work well by themselves and require an oxidative pretreatment to convert As +3 to As +5 .
- Reduction techniques are generally used when the system has very low potentials that allow the reduction of S ° to sulphides (S "2 ) and seek to precipitate the Ace in the form of sodium thioarseniate through the addition of elemental sulfur. they do not have good As removals (around 60%) because the sodium thioarseniate is partially soluble and they are used only when you want to partially remove the Ace to recirculate the alkaline solution avoiding saturation.
- Mg use There is information in both scientific publications and patents. In the document Park, YY, Tran, T., Lee, YH, Nam, YI, Senanayake, G., Kim, MJ: "Selective removal of arsenic (V) from a molybdate plant liquor by precipitaron of magnesium arsenate", Hydrometallurgy , Volume 104, Issue 2, September 2010, Pages 290-297, remaining concentrations of As ⁇ 5 ppm are reported for a Mg / As molar ratio equal to 2 and pH 10.2.
- the documents that show good results in terms of As removal always have ammonium in solution, which is not the case of the present invention.
- the potential for oxide reduction is very low, which allows the use of elemental sulfur to precipitate arsenic as a thioarseniate, compounds considered not stable for final disposal and with an efficiency of relatively low rainfall, close to 60%.
- the solutions have a relatively high potential, such that arsenic is as arsenate (As +5 ), and a high concentration (up to 20 g / l), which enables effective precipitation of arsenic with different reagents.
- the precipitation techniques studied in relation to the present application consist in the use of the cations Ce +3 , Fe +3 , Mg +2 and the combination of Fe +3 and Ca +2 , as precipitating agents.
- the following compounds containing said cations were used as precipitating reagents: CeCl 3, MgSO 4 , Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 and Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + Ca (OH) 2 .
