Method for recycling gold in gold-carrying carbon powder

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for recovering gold in gold-carrying carbon powder, which belongs to treatment methods of gold-carrying carbon powder in the gold industry. The method includes ashing the gold-carrying carbon powder at 600 to 650 DEG C; removing impurities in the charcoal ash by nitric acid, filtering and washing to obtain the residue; leaching gold from the residue by the aqua regia method or chlorine salt method, resulting in the liquid-phase gold, filtering and washing to obtain gold leachate; adding sodium sulfite to the gold leachate; reducing the gold leachate, filtering and washing the sponge gold and drying; smelting the sponge gold with 1% to 5% of borax to cast ingot at 1250 DEG C. The method has the advantages that the process is simplified, the labor intensity of the operator is alleviated, the working environment is improved, and the recovery rate of gold-carrying carbon powder is increased.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for treating gold-loaded powdered carbon in the gold industry, which is mainly applied to the recovery of gold from the gold-loaded powdered carbon. Background technique

[0002] Enterprises using all-slime cyanide carbon slurry gold extraction process will inevitably produce some gold-loaded powdered carbon in production. For these gold-loaded powdered carbons, the commonly used gold recovery method is to use self-made equipment for soil method ashing, and then add oxidation Lead or silver is collected and smelted by fire method, and then gold and silver are separated by nitric acid, gold is soaked in aqua regia, reduced, and cast into ingots. This method has the following disadvantages:

[0003] 1. The process is long, the process is more, and the loss is greater;

[0004] 2. It is difficult to control the temperature of charcoal during incineration, and there is often a phenomenon that the charcoal is not complete...
