Problems solved by technology

[0013] The first deficiency is linked to the fact that residues from recycling processes are often more problematic than starting residues, since the former have proven to contain metal valences that are inert to previous treatments
[0014] A second shortcoming lies in the complexity of these methods, which require a large number of different types of treatment (e.g. leaching, solvent extraction, precipitation / electrolysis)
Therefore, known recycling methods are not particularly flexible and cannot be used in different production environments
[0016] Another disadvantage is that metal recovery is greatly affected by the presence of elemental sulfur and iron oxides

Embodiment 1

[0144] 1 kg of residue originating from the hydrometallurgical treatment of lead concentrate was subjected to the process of the invention as described below.

[0145] The metal content (weight percent) of the residue is as follows:

[0146]

[0147] In the presence of oxygen, at a pressure of 350kPa and 120°C, use 20L containing 200g / L NH 4 Cl, 100g / L NaCl and 12.23g / L zinc (Zn 2+ ), the residue in powder form was subjected to leaching for 2 hours.

[0148] The zinc ions present in the leach solution originate from the electrolytic solution recycled from the previous recovery cycle after the electrodeposition of metallic zinc.

[0149] At the end of leaching, the metal ion content of the extraction solution was as follows:

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for recovering non-ferrous metals from solid substrates, comprising the following stages: (a) in the presence of oxygen, at a temperature of 100°C-160°C and a pressure of 150kPa-800kPa, with chloride and ammonium ions, pH leaching the solid matrix for the aqueous base solution of 6.5-8.5 to obtain an extraction solution comprising leached metals and a solid leaching residue; (b) separating said solid leaching residue from said extraction solution; (c) The extraction solution is subjected to at least one displacement precipitation to recover elemental metals.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for the recovery of non-ferrous metals from solid substrates. [0002] In particular, the invention relates to a process for the recovery of non-ferrous metals present in solid matrices such as concentrated minerals (also known as primary concentrates) or residues of processes for the hydrometallurgical extraction of non-ferrous metals from concentrated minerals. Background technique [0003] In fact, most non-ferrous metals are present in minerals in an oxidized state, in particular in the form of oxides, sulfides or carbonates. [0004] Non-ferrous metals in elemental form are produced from minerals by pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical type extraction methods on concentrated minerals. [0005] The primary concentrate is the result of the treatment of the ore extracted from the mine to separate the mineral fraction comprising metal oxides from the gangue (crushing, washing, particle size selection, etc....
