Problems solved by technology

However, the thiourea gold leaching process still needs to be further improved. One of the most important points is that the dosage and cost of thiourea are much higher than that of the cyanide method.
In addition, there are some technical obstacles in promoting the use of thiourea, especially under oxidative conditions, thiourea will be oxidized and decomposed into dithioformamidine

Embodiment 1

[0021] Embodiment 1: Get 8g of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and 4g of sodium tetrasulfide, dissolve them in 100mL of water, put them in a reaction kettle, add 10mL of ammonia water, slowly add 20mL of 1wt% bromine water, the reaction temperature is 55°C, and the reaction process is sampled. Observe that the absorption peak of sodium thiosulfate at wavelength 217nm weakens at the UV spectrophotometer, and the product absorbs at 288nm, and the absorption peak at 217nm disappears substantially (at this time, the solution turns pale yellow), and the absorption spectrum is as follows: figure 1 Shown in a, stop reacting at this moment. Then add 2 mL of saturated zinc sulfate solution to precipitate excess sulfur and polysulfide; filter and collect the filtrate to obtain 110 mL of liquid gold leaching agent.

Abstract

The invention discloses an environment-friendly sulfur-containing gold leaching reagent and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the gold leaching reagent comprises steps as follows: a sulfur-containing substance is taken as a raw material and dissolved in water, an oxidizing agent is added for oxidation, average chemical valence of sulfur in an obtained solution is controlled to be 2-3, then sulfide and/or polysulfide is removed, filtering is performed, a filtrate is collected, and a liquid gold leaching reagent is obtained. The sulfur-containing substance is subjected to oxidation operation, the degree of oxidation of the sulfur-containing substance is controlled, then sulfide and/or polysulfide is removed, so that the use quantity of the obtained gold leaching reagent during gold leaching is substantially reduced, and concentration of the gold leaching reagent during gold leaching at the normal temperature and under the normal pressure is 0.2-20 g/L in terms of a solid gold leaching reagent; the obtained gold leaching reagent is free of cyanide, and the operation is environment-friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gold leaching reagent for extracting gold from gold mines, in particular to a sulfur-containing environment-friendly gold leaching agent and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Gold is the first metal discovered and utilized by humans, and the gold extraction process has a long history. For more than 100 years since the appearance of cyanidation, it has been greatly developed and occupies a dominant position in the gold industry. The cyanidation gold leaching process is simple, with good adaptability and high gold recovery rate. Nowadays, there are many gold leaching techniques, and the cyanidation method is still dominant, but the severe toxicity of the cyanidation method seriously endangers the environment and human health, especially the policy factors in our country, resulting in high management costs for cyanidation gold leaching. Therefore, low-toxicity or cyanide-free gold leaching is an impor...
