Problems solved by technology

For gold-bearing ores containing copper, it is easy to produce high-copper-loaded gold carbon with a copper grade higher than 5kg / t during the gold extraction process, but the adsorption capacity of high-copper-loaded gold carbon to gold is weakened, and the analysis and electrowinning of gold are difficult. and depositing smelting will cause great difficulty
[0003] In the prior art, there is no good method for the decopper treatment of high-copper-loaded gold carbon. Lan Bibo et al. introduced in the patent "A Method for Selective Decoppering of High-Copper Carbon-loaded Gold Carbon" that under the hydrochloric acid system, The purpose of selective decoppering is achieved by adding an oxidizing agent to oxidize, but this method has potential safety hazards caused by the escape of HCN gas under acidic conditions; the cyanidation introduced by Pan Zhibing et al. The copper removal method, because the copper removal solution must use the acidification method to recover copper and cyanide, there is also a potential safety hazard caused by the escape of HCN gas, and the ammonia leaching copper removal method announced in the 11th issue of "Gold" in 1999 has Disadvantages of low drug utilization
