The present invention provides a leaching method for
sulfide minerals, which comprises:
grinding the
sulfide minerals for a second time, adding concentrated
sulfuric acid during the second
grinding for pre-activation, and obtaining a second-grinded material; adding the second-grinded material into a
sulfuric acid solution for normal pressure leaching to obtain a normal pressure leaching
slurry; wherein, at least one of stirring, introducing
oxygen, and maintaining the normal pressure leaching temperature is performed during the normal pressure leaching process; filtering the normal pressure leaching
slurry to obtain normal pressure leaching
slag and normal pressure leaching liquid; slurrying the normal pressure leaching
slag with
sulfuric acid solution, and then performing pressure leaching, and performing at least one of introducing
oxygen, adjusting the air pressure, and adjusting the initial temperature of the pressure leaching during the pressure leaching process, filtering after the reaction is complete, and obtaining a pressure leaching liquid and a pressure leaching
slag. The method can improve the
leaching rate of the target
metal in the normal pressure leaching stage, reduce the
processing amount of
sulfide minerals in the pressure leaching stage, and reduce
energy consumption, cost, and safety hazards.
