The invention discloses a pulse rising
type system for continuously recovering mercury from mine
tailings. The
system comprises a
slurry preparation unit, a rising extraction unit, a
flocculation separation unit and a
solvent regeneration unit. The invention further comprises a pulse rising type process for continuously recovering the mercury from the mine
tailings. The process comprises the following steps of
slurry preparation, rising extraction,
flocculation separation and
solvent regeneration. According to the pulse rising
type system and process for continuously recovering the mercury from the mine
tailings, the pulse rising
type system for continuously recovering the mercury from the mine tailings adopts a riser reactor for liquid-
solid extraction for the first time, the riser reactor is composed of thick sections and fine sections in a staggered mode, so that the material backmixing degree is greatly enhanced, due to the fact that a baffle plate is arranged inside the riser reactor, the
staying time is prolonged, the extraction is more thorough, the extraction efficiency is higher, and the
pollution hazard of the mercury in the mercury-containing tailings to the environmentis greatly reduced; and a
sodium thiosulfate solution for extracting the mercury is subjected to heating and bubbling of
carbon dioxide, so that
decomposition is enhanced, and
thiosulfate after mercury
decomposition is converted into a mercury
sulfide precipitation form which is low in
solubility, high in stability and low in
toxicity.
