Problems solved by technology

The advantage of this process is that it has strong adaptability, and the disadvantage is that it produces SO during roasting. 2 、As 2 o 3 It will seriously pollute the environment, and the pressure on environmental protection is high. Moreover, the process is sensitive to changes in operating parameters and feed ingredients, which can easily cause over-burning or under-burning, resulting in a decrease in gold leaching rate.
The principle of the hot-pressed oxidation pretreatment process is to use pressure to accelerate the chemical reaction rate of the oxidation process. Its advantage is that the whole process is completely wet and does not cause smoke pollution. After oxidation, pyrite and arsenopyrite dissolve in the solution, and gold The recovery rate is high; the disadvantage is that the equipment design and material requirements are high, and there are requirements for production scale
Microbial oxidation pretreatment uses the iron and sulfur oxidase system in microorganisms to oxidize and decompose pyrite and arsenopyrite. Its advantages are simple process, low equipment cost investment, and environmental protection. limited tolerance
[0004] To sum up, th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for treating difficult-to-treat gold concentrates by ozone oxidization and microbial oxidation. The method comprises the following steps of (1) crushing difficult-to-treat gold concentrates into ore powder; then, making ore powder into ore slurry; (2) introducing ozone for ozone oxidization reaction; then, inoculating microbes in the ore slurry to perform microbialoxidation reaction; or inoculating the microbes in the prepared ore slurry to perform microbial oxidization reduction reaction; then, introducing ozone for ozone oxidization reaction; (3) performingsolid-liquid separation on the ore slurry obtained after the reaction; after the filtering, feeding the obtained ore slag into a gold extraction stage for gold extraction. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that the ozone oxidization treatment is combined with the microbial oxidization treatment; iron pyrites and arsenopyrite in the gold concentrates are oxidized; elemental cabin is passivated; finally, gold extraction agents such as thiourea are used for gold extraction; the gold leaching rate is greatly improved; the leaching period is shortened; the reagent cost and theequipment cost can also be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pretreatment process of refractory gold concentrate, in particular to a method for jointly treating refractory gold concentrate by utilizing ozone oxidation and microbial oxidation. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of mineral resources, the refractory gold ore resources are decreasing day by day, and the proportion of refractory gold ore in production is increasing. According to statistics, the gold reserves in refractory gold mines in the world account for 60% of the total gold reserves. At present, about one-third of the world's total output comes from refractory gold mines. Among my country's proven gold reserves, 30% are refractory gold reserves. Dealing with gold mines is of great significance to the development and utilization of such gold mine resources. [0003] Refractory gold ores are characterized by high arsenic, high sulfur, and carbon content, or gold is wrapped in gangue minerals an...
