Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of chemical engineering and bio-metallurgy. Specifically, it relates to a method for using fluoride-resistant acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria for bio-heap leaching to recover vanadium. Background Art

[0002] Vanadium is an important rare metal and has received extensive attention due to its wide industrial applications. Especially its applications in non-ferrous alloy production, catalysts, and batteries. As an important vanadium ore resource, vanadium shale has rich reserves, but the vanadium grade is generally low and the ore phase composition is complex. Moreover, most of the vanadium in it is hosted in the crystal lattice of (aluminum) silicate minerals, with a relatively stable structure and being difficult to leach. To meet the growing demand for vanadium resources, extracting vanadium from vanadium shale has become an urgent task, and various processes for extracting vanadium from vanadium shale have been reported. Currently, for the vanadium extraction process from vanadium shale, traditional chemical technologies include additive roasting - water leaching or low-acidity leaching, direct acid leaching method, and low-salt roasting - cyclic oxidation method. However, although these vanadium recovery methods are efficient and rapid, they still require a large amount of additives or acids and will cause serious environmental hazards.

[0003] Bioleaching technology uses microorganisms to recover precious metals and base metals from low-grade minerals and has developed into a successful and expanding field of biotechnology. It has been proven to be an effective, low-cost, and environmentally friendly method. Currently, this technology has been successfully applied to the industrial production of metals such as copper, gold, and uranium. As a kind of ore-leaching bacterium, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans can accelerate the electron transfer in the reaction process, produce high-valent oxidants, and a lower pH environment after participation, making the oxidation and decomposition process of minerals more rapid, so it is widely used in various metallurgical fields. In bioleaching of vanadium, vanadium hosted in minerals is released under the direct erosion of bacteria and the indirect action of bacterial growth metabolites, but the leaching rate of vanadium is generally low and difficult to meet industrial requirements.

[0004] Literature I (Fang Fang, Zhong Hong, Jiang Fangming, etc. Arsenic resistance domestication and ore-leaching ability of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Journal of Central South University, 2013) In order to improve the oxidation activity and arsenic resistance ability of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans during the leaching of arsenic gold concentrate, the continuous transfer domestication method was used to domesticate the isolated and purified A.f strain NSJ209 for arsenic resistance, and the tolerance of the original bacterium and the domesticated bacterium to As(Ⅲ) and As(Ⅴ) was investigated. This technology only aims to eliminate the influence of arsenic on bacteria, domesticate the bacteria for arsenic resistance, and the leaching object is arsenic gold concentrate.

[0005] Literature II (Wang Yongdong, Ding Dexin, Li Guangyue, etc. Continuous transfer domestication and co-domestication of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans resistant to uranium and fluoride ions. The Chinese Journal of Process Engineering, 2011) In order to improve the domestication efficiency of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and obtain an A.f strain that can tolerate high concentrations of uranium and fluoride ions, the isolated and purified A.f strain SKS10 The uranium- and fluorine-resistant domestication methods were studied, and continuous transfer domestication and combined domestication methods were proposed. This technology only domesticates Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans for uranium and fluorine resistance, without conducting leaching experiments. Its fluorine resistance ability is low, the influence of fluorine on Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is still large, the mineral treatment volume is small, and the leaching rate is low.

[0006] Literature III (Li Jiang, Rao Jun, Liu Yajie, etc. Industrial test on microbial heap leaching of high-fluorine uranium ore. Nonferrous Metals: Smelting Section, 2011) conducted an industrial test on microbial heap leaching of high-fluorine uranium ore based on previous tests. The ore piled up was 4315 t, the ore particle size was ~6 mm, the grade was 0.186%, the leaching rate calculated by slag was 92.63%, and the acid consumption was 3.14%. The used 05B bacterial community grew well in the tail liquid with a fluorine content of 2 - 3.98 g / L, and the leaching cycle was 112 d. The leaching object of this technology is high-fluorine uranium ore, which passive responds to the existence of fluorine, only reducing toxicity without utilizing the positive effect of fluorine.

[0007] The patented technology of "A method for biological heap leaching of low-sulfur ore" (CN 202211252334.9) mixes low-sulfur ore with reduced sulfur, inoculates acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms and acidophilic iron-oxidizing microorganisms, and realizes the leaching of target metals through heap leaching. This invention does not domesticate the bacterial strain, heavy metal ions in the mineral are toxic to the bacterial strain, and the leaching rate is low; the leaching object is low-sulfur ore, and the leaching cycle is long.

[0008] The patented technology of "A method for bacterial leaching of high-fluorine uranium ore" (CN 117867275A) crushes high-fluorine uranium ore and loads it into columns or builds a heap to obtain an ore heap, sprays the ore heap with an acid-containing spraying liquid, conducts uranium adsorption treatment on the collected leaching liquid, and after defluorination treatment of the adsorbed tail liquid, recycles it to the spraying process; then implants bacteria into the ore heap; subsequently, sprays it with a spraying solution containing boric acid and acid for bacterial leaching, conducts uranium adsorption treatment on the collected bacterial leaching liquid, and recycles the adsorbed tail liquid to the bacterial leaching process. This technology is passive terminal treatment, does not improve the fluorine resistance of the bacterial strain, relies on defluorination pretreatment to eliminate inhibition, the toxic effect of fluorine on bacteria is large, and it affects the leaching rate.

[0009] The patented technology of "A fluorine-resistant ore-leaching bacterium and its high-efficiency leaching process applied to high-fluorine uranium ore" (CN 104745498A) adds aluminum sulfate to the acidifying solution. Since F - will form a complex ion with Fe 3+ in the solution, the content of free F - in the leaching solution is greatly reduced, reducing the toxic effect of F - on bacteria. This invention adds additional agents to avoid the toxic effect of fluorine, increasing agent consumption and high production costs. The leaching object is high-fluorine uranium ore.

[0010] In summary, in the prior art: only Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is domesticated to be uranium-resistant and fluorine-resistant, and the fluorine-resistant domestication only aims to avoid the influence of F - without utilizing the positive effect of F - to conduct leaching experiments. The fluorine resistance ability is low, the influence of fluorine on Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is still large, the leaching rate is low, and the treatment capacity is small; while the existing heap leaching method is only used for low-sulfur ores and high-fluorine uranium ores and is not used for vanadium shales.

Then inoculate the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans colonies after the nth domestication into the liquid medium and culture until the logarithmic phase to obtain the liquid of the fluorine-tolerant acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria with a fluorine content of 0.36 - 2.7 g / L; Ultra-low temperature preserve the liquid of the fluorine-tolerant acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria. -

[0022] The n represents the number of domestication times, and n is a natural number from 8 to 19.

[0023] Step 2. At 15 - 40 °C and an aeration rate of 0.02 - 0.04 m3 Under the condition of / (L·h), the bacterial liquid of the fluorine-resistant acidophilic leaching bacteria stored at ultra-low temperature is expanded and cultured to a scale of 800 - 1200 L / d, and the bacterial liquid concentration is 10 9 ~10 12 cells / L to obtain the expanded bacterial liquid of the fluorine-resistant acidophilic leaching bacteria.

[0024] Step 3: Roast the vanadium shale with a particle size ≤ 6 mm at 600 - 800 °C for 30 - 60 min to build a ore heap with a height of 2 - 6 m, and the content of V2O5 in the vanadium shale is 0.5 - 1.7 wt%; then intermittently spray the ore heap with sulfuric acid with a concentration of 5 - 60 g / L until the pH of the effluent is stable at 0 - 0.1.

[0025] Step 4: According to the solid-liquid ratio of 0.36 - 2.7 g / L, add a fluorine-containing leaching aid to the expanded bacterial liquid of the fluorine-resistant acidophilic leaching bacteria to obtain a fluorine-containing acidophilic leaching bacteria liquid; then intermittently drip the fluorine-containing acidophilic leaching bacteria liquid onto the ore heap after sulfuric acid spraying for heap leaching to obtain a leaching solution.

[0026] The leaching solution is purified and enriched with vanadium, the lean organic phase is regenerated, vanadium is precipitated, and vanadium pentoxide is prepared to recover vanadium.

[0027] The preparation method of the liquid medium is: add ferrous sulfate heptahydrate to the 9K basic medium with a pH of 1.5 - 2.5 according to the solid-liquid ratio of 30 - 50 g / L to obtain the liquid medium.

[0028] The preparation method of the solid medium is to add agar powder to the 9K basic medium with a pH of 1.8 - 2.2 according to the solid-liquid ratio of 10 - 30 g / L, and sterilize it at 90 - 121 °C for 10 - 20 min to obtain the solid medium.

A method of combining with chemical leaching to strengthen leaching is proposed. The fluorine-resistant domestication of acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria can effectively reduce or eliminate the influence of fluorine on the growth of acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria and shorten the leaching cycle.

[0040] 3. The present invention does not avoid the influence of F - .

The V2O5 content of the vanadium shale is 1.1 wt%; then intermittently spray the ore heap with sulfuric acid with a concentration of 50 g / L until the pH of the effluent stabilizes at 0.07.

[0179] Step 4: According to a solid-liquid ratio of 2.7 g / L, add a fluorine-containing leaching aid to the expanded acidophilic fluorine-tolerant ore-leaching bacterial liquid to obtain an acidophilic fluorine-tolerant ore-leaching bacterial liquid; then intermittently drip the acidophilic fluorine-tolerant ore-leaching bacterial liquid onto the ore heap after sulfuric acid spraying for heap leaching to obtain a leachate.

[0180] The preparation method of the liquid medium is: Add ferrous sulfate heptahydrate to the 9K basal medium with a pH of 2.5 according to a solid-liquid ratio of 35 g / L to obtain the liquid medium.

[0181] The preparation method of the solid medium is to add agar powder to the 9K basal medium with a pH of 2.2 according to a solid-liquid ratio of 15 g / L, and sterilize it at 121 °C for 20 min to obtain the solid medium.

[0182] The 9K basal medium: ammonium sulfate is 2.5 g / L, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate is 0.4 g / L, potassium chloride is 0.15 g / L, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is 0.4 g / L, and calcium nitrate is 0.015 g / L.

[0183] The inoculation amount of the inoculated Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans colonies is a single colony in the solid medium, and the diameter of the Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans colonies is 1.8 mm.

[0184] The inoculation amount of the inoculated Acidiphilium multivorum bacteria solution is 15 vol% of the liquid medium with the current F- concentration.

[0185] The ultra-low temperature preservation is carried out using a protective agent of 15% glycerol - liquid medium; the ultra-low temperature preservation temperature is -80 °C.

[0186] The spraying amount of the intermittent spraying is 10 L / (m 2 ·h), and the intermittent time of the intermittent spraying is 12 hours per day.

[0187] The fluorine-containing leaching aid is potassium fluoride dihydrate.

[0188] The vanadium concentration of the leachate is 1.0 g / L.

[0189] The spraying amount of the spray washing of the ore is 10 L / (m 2 ·h), and when the vanadium concentration of the washing water for the spray washing of the ore < 0.03 g / L or pH > 2.5, the spraying ends; the pH of the recycled washing water for the spray washing of the ore is 2.2.

[0190] The present specific embodiment has the following positive effects compared with the prior art:

[0191] 1. The present specific embodiment uses an acidophilic ore-leaching bacterial strain named Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, and obtains an Acidiphilium multivorum bacteria solution through domestication. The F - content reaches 0.36 - 2.7 g / L. Using the Acidiphilium multivorum bacteria solution to leach the vanadium shale system, under the dual action of the fluorine-containing leaching aid and the Acidiphilium multivorum, the vanadium shale ore heap after roasting and sulfuric acid spraying is subjected to biological heap leaching of the vanadium shale, increasing the ore treatment volume, shortening the leaching cycle, reducing the economic cost, increasing the leaching rate of vanadium in the vanadium shale, and significantly enhancing the microbial leaching effect.

[0192] 2. The present specific embodiment utilizes the effect of fluoride in chemical leaching to destroy the mica lattice, and there is no need to perform defluorination treatment on it. A method of combining with chemical leaching to enhance leaching is proposed. The fluoride tolerance domestication of the acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria can effectively reduce or eliminate the influence of fluorine on the growth of acidophilic ore-leaching bacteria, and shorten the leaching cycle.

[0193] 3. This specific implementation does not avoid the influence of F - . By taking advantage of the fact that F - participates in the coordination and binding of the central atoms in the mica tetrahedron and octahedron structures, and cooperates with H + to participate in the reaction synergistically to achieve the destruction of the mica structure, a fluorine-tolerant and acidophilic bioleaching bacterial solution is cultivated, and the vanadium shale is subjected to biological heap leaching, with low production costs and high resource recovery rates.

[0194] Therefore, the acidophilic bioleaching bacterial solution used in this specific implementation is fluorine-tolerant domesticated and enlarged cultured, and is used for the biological heap leaching of low-grade vanadium shale with high leaching rates and large treatment capacities.
