Problems solved by technology

Although the pre-oxidized slag does not need to be neutralized, it can directly leaching gold, the recovery rate of gold is high, and there is no low concentration of SO 2 Smoke and As 2 o 3 The shortcomings of pollution such as smoke and dust, but the process flow is long and the production efficiency is low. On this basis, we proposed a method for direct oxygen pressure leaching of gold from refractory gold sulfide concentrates with alkaline thiocyanate solution

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for leaching gold from a refractory gold sulfide concentrate by using alkaline thiocyanate solution under oxygen pressure, which comprises the following steps of: leaching at the temperature of between 110 and 200 DEG C under the oxygen pressure of 0.3 to 1.5MPa for 1.0 to 8.0 hours by using alkaline solution containing 0.1 to 3.0M thiocyanate in a solid-to-liquid ratio of 100 to 300g / L; and separating and recovering the gold from the solution to obtain waste liquid, regenerating to obtain alkali, and returning to the next leaching. The refractory gold concentrate is directly leached by the alkaline thiocyanate solution under the oxygen pressure without being pretreated, the process flow is short, efficiency is high, and cost is low; roasting is eliminated, and the pollution of low-concentration SO2 flue gas, As2O3 smoke and the like is avoided; and during oxygen pressure leaching, the gold is subjected to oxidative cooperated leaching while sulfide minerals in the gold concentrate are subjected to oxidative decomposition, so that the secondary packaging of the gold is avoided, and the leaching rate of the gold is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to non-ferrous metal wet extraction metallurgy and is suitable for extracting gold from refractory gold sulfide concentrates. Background technique [0002] Refractory gold ore reserves account for 30% of the world's total gold ore reserves, and my country accounts for more than 20%, of which arsenic-containing refractory gold ore accounts for the vast majority. There is no successful precedent for direct cyanidation selective leaching of gold. At present, the treatment plan for arsenic-containing refractory gold concentrate is basically oxidation pretreatment first, and then cyanide leaching of gold. There are four oxidation pretreatment schemes: chemical oxidation, roasting, pressurized oxidation and bacterial oxidation. Biological pretreatment-cyanide method (Yang Hongying, et al. Oxidative pretreatment of high-arsenic complex and refractory gold ore by arsenic-resistant bacteria-cyanide gold extraction method, CN 200810011233....
