Problems solved by technology

Step-by-step extraction processes mainly include sulfuric acid leaching copper decacyanide gold leaching process, roasting step-by-step leaching process, bioleaching process, and chlorination pretreatment of copper-gold ore, etc. These processes have the disadvantages of large acid consumption and acid-base media Transformation or longer cycle and other disadvantages; selective gold leaching is mainly suitable for copper-gold mines with low copper content. The gold economy is not as good as the cyanidation method, the reagent consumption is large, the price is high, and the industrial application is less; while the selective leaching of gold in the cyanide system seriously pollutes the environment, affects the health of the operators, increases labor protection investment, and consumes more chemicals. Big, the equipment needs to be anti-corrosion and other shortcomings

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting gold from copper-containing gold oxide ore, belonging to a wet metallurgy technology. The method comprises the steps of: firstly, crushing, grinding and classifying copper-containing gold oxide ore; then carrying out alkali treatment on the copper-containing gold oxide ore; adding a certain proportion of chelant and sodium cyanide for realizing the purposes of inhibiting copper extraction and selective extraction of gold; and finally, extracting gold from the extract solution through adsorption by using conventional active carbon. The method has the advantages of simple process, simple equipment, easy implementation, high gold extraction rate, less chemical consumption, less investment of capital construction, and low cost, easily realizes industrialized production and has better economic benefit.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to hydrometallurgy technology, in particular to a method for extracting gold from copper-containing oxidized gold ore. 2. Background technology [0002] In the field of hydrometallurgy, copper-bearing gold ores are recognized as one of the refractory ores. Due to the high copper content (greater than 0.5%) of this type of ore, the cyanide consumption increases during the cyanidation gold leaching process, and the gold leaching rate is low at the same time. Since this kind of ore occupies a certain proportion in the gold ore reserves, it is of great practical significance for the development and utilization of gold ore resources to explore the reasons for its refractory separation and choose the appropriate gold extraction process. [0003] In copper compounds, except for chrysocolla and chalcopyrite, which have limited solubility in cyanide solution (5.6%), most of natural copper, copper oxide, chalcocite, bornite, chalcopyrit...
