Problems solved by technology

Taking copper ore as an example, most of the proven copper grades are lower than 0.5%, and the content of pyrite is relatively high, which cannot be economically recovered by traditional dressing and smelting technology
[0003] In recent years, the biometallurgical technology developed can solve the technical problem of low recovery rate of copper resources, but in the middle and later stages of leaching, there is excess acid and iron, the cost of subsequent solution purification and copper ion extraction increases, and the pressure on environmental protection increases
In addition, during the long-term stockpiling of the waste rock stripped by mining, a large amount of acidic wastewater is produced under the action of bacteria, water and oxygen, which is a huge hidden danger for mine environmental protection

Abstract

The invention provides an electrochemical method and equipment which can control a bioleaching process. In the bioleaching process, oxidation-reduction potential of a leaching system is controlled electrochemically, pH value is maintained to be basically constant, and rapid oxidation of pyrite can be effectively controlled without influencing dissolution of a copper sulfide ore. The electrochemical method provided by the invention has the advantages that the oxidation-reduction potential in the leaching system can be accurately controlled and conditions are created for realizing selective leaching of the copper sulfide ore.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biometallurgy and relates to an electrochemical method for controlling the bioleaching process. This method is applied to the biological leaching process of low-grade copper sulfide ore with high pyrite content and the source treatment of acidic wastewater in mines. Background technique [0002] With the continuous mining of mineral resources, the grade of valuable metals is decreasing and the difficulty of recycling is increasing. Taking copper ore as an example, most of the proven copper grades are lower than 0.5%, and the content of pyrite is relatively high, which cannot be economically recovered by traditional dressing and smelting techniques. [0003] In recent years, the biometallurgical technology developed can solve the technical problem of low recovery rate of copper resources, but in the middle and later stages of leaching, there is excess acid and iron, the cost of subsequent solution purification and ...
