Abstract

The invention discloses a gold extraction method by pre-oxidation and cyanide leaching of refractory gold concentrate, comprising the following steps: firstly mixing the refractory gold concentrate and a dispersing agent, grinding by a grinder; then mixing the oxidant and the grinded material, size mixing; then mixing and stirring the slurry with concentrated sulfuric acid, so as to perform more than a period of acid pre-oxidation reaction, reacting for more than one hour at a constant temperature, separating the solid and the liquid; then adjusting the pH value of the gold-bearing slag afterthe pre-oxidation, performing alkaline pretreatment for more than one hour; performing cyanide gold extraction on the slurry after alkaline pretreatment, passing oxygen or air during the cyanide process. The invention has advantages of low cost, simple operation, strong adaptability of raw material, high gold recovery rate, environmental pollution-free and easy industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gold extraction by hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method for leaching and extracting gold from refractory gold ores. Background technique [0002] Refractory gold ore, also known as refractory gold ore or recalcitrant gold ore, refers to an ore in which most of the gold cannot be effectively leached by conventional cyanidation even after fine grinding. With the large-scale mining of gold mines, the refractory gold ore resources in the world are decreasing day by day, and the refractory gold ore will become the main mineral resources of the gold industry in the future. According to incomplete statistics, 30% of my country's proven gold reserves are refractory gold mines, which are mainly distributed in Liao, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Gansu, Anhui, Kyrgyzstan and other regions. The development and utilization of refractory gold mines has become an important task in the gold industry. [0003] Among th...
