Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of resource recovery, and in particular, relates to a method for extracting gold using superoxide. Background Art

[0002] Gold, a precious metal, has a long history in human civilization, possessing not only cultural and sentimental value but also financial value. Besides being used as jewelry, currency, and an investment, gold possesses excellent physical properties such as high conductivity, thermal stability, plasticity, and ductility, making it widely used in various electronics industries, such as nanodevices and electronic devices. However, while the world's gold reserves are limited, the rapid development of the electronics manufacturing industry has increased demand for gold, necessitating the recovery of gold from secondary products. Approximately 10% of annual gold production is allocated to the electronics manufacturing industry, primarily for use in printed circuit boards (PCBs) or CPUs for mobile phones and computers. The rapid advancement of technology, particularly mobile phones and computers, leads to rapid replacement and short lifespans, resulting in the generation of vast quantities of electronic waste (e-waste). Discarded e-waste reportedly contains more gold than all existing gold-bearing ore, with one ton of ore containing as much gold as 40 mobile phones. This makes discarded mobile phone PCBs or CPUs a promising source of gold for recycling.

[0003] Currently, the most common method for extracting gold from gold mines in industry is cyanide extraction. This method is simple to operate and widely used. However, the waste often contains large amounts of cyanide, which poses a threat to the personal safety of workers and poses a significant challenge in subsequent waste disposal.

[0004] According to statistics, the world's industrial production of electronic waste reaches 45 million tons annually (2016), yet the recycling rate is very low (only 20%). Therefore, developing methods for selectively recovering gold from discarded electronic products is of great significance. Currently, the most common methods for recovering gold from electronic waste in industry are reportedly cyanide extraction and organic phase extraction. While these two methods are both affordable and widely used, the former uses large amounts of cyanide during the processing process, which is highly toxic and poses significant environmental and worker health risks. The latter, on the other hand, requires large amounts of organic solvents during the extraction process, resulting in cumbersome and energy-intensive post-processing, which contradicts the current national energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives. Furthermore, electronic waste often contains significant amounts of copper, nickel, and iron, as well as smaller amounts of other transition metals, which can significantly interfere with gold extraction. Therefore, developing novel gold recovery systems is of great significance. In recent years, the research group of Professor J. Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, at Northwestern University, reported a series of methods for selectively separating gold ions by coprecipitation using cyclodextrin as the main component. After years of optimization, the recovery rate of this method has increased from an initial 78.3% to 99.8%. In April 2019, the research group of Tang Benzhong at South China University of Technology developed a class of polyselenourea polymer materials for the selective enrichment and recovery of gold ions from aqueous solutions (Application No.: 201910309311.9). This material exhibits excellent selectivity and adsorption capacity. However, the synthesis of this material is complex and the material itself has certain limitations. In the same year, the research group of Xu Huaping at Tsinghua University developed a method for extracting and enriching gold using selenide ethers (Application No.: 201911049189.2). This method has a high removal rate, but the adsorption time is long and the adsorption capacity is low. High-temperature calcination is required for effective recovery of elemental gold, which has certain limitations in practical application.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a green, environmentally friendly, highly efficient, highly selective and widely applicable method for gold enrichment and recovery. Summary of the Invention

[0032] After extensive research, the present applicant has found that the supermolecule having a secondary amine and amide structure and a chemical formula as shown in Formula 1 below can effectively inhibit the oxidation of Au in many gold ion-containing solutions. 3+ It has a good extraction and enrichment effect on gold in solids. After research, it was found that the amide and protonated secondary amine in the super-acid structure have good anion recognition ability (multiple hydrogen bond donors), and have the ability to selectively extract Au from complex cationic and strongly acidic systems. 3+ With anions (preferably halogen anions, such as Cl - Or Br - ) The potential of the coordinated cationic salt to be extracted or adsorbed, during the adsorption and extraction process, AuY4 - Will gradually remove the halogen to form AuY3 and AuY2 + , thus stabilizing between molecular cages, and the secondary amine has good reducing properties, which can effectively release the gradually released Au 3+ Reduced to gold, thus exposing the binding sites to continue binding AuCl2 + or AuBr2 +. This extraction method can achieve green and environmentally friendly and highly selective adsorption and reduction of trivalent gold elements in solutions with different pH environments and containing various competitive cations (such as cationic salts of Mg, Cu, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, V, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo, Rh, Pd, Cd, In, Sb, Sn, Cs, Ba, W, Tl, Pb, Bi, and Ag), gold-containing catalytic waste liquids, electronic wastewater, and gold ore leachate, overcoming the defects and limitations of existing methods for extracting gold from electronic waste (electronic waste such as computer CPUs and mobile phone PCB boards), gold-containing catalysts, and gold ores and gold concentrates. Unlike traditional supramolecular extraction (recognition and extraction both utilize the inner cavity of the main molecule), this system mainly extracts gold from Au. 3+ The adsorption and extraction of Au is mainly carried out by using the outer cavity of the super-branched molecular cage to identify the halogen-coordinated cation Au in a two-sphere model. 3+ For adsorption and stabilization, the inner cavity is mainly encapsulated with gold salt (AuY4 - ) gradually removes the halogen anion (Cl - Or Br - ) plays a synergistic adsorption role, using the cavity between the molecular cages for extraction and adsorption, and in the process of gold recovery, it mainly targets AuY3 and AuY2 + extraction and adsorption,

The gold-containing single crystal was tested by an X-ray single crystal diffractometer, and the structure was analyzed and refined by olex2 to export pictures from different perspectives, such as Figure 1 As shown, the super-bronze and AuBr2 +The crystal structure diagram includes (a) top view; (b) front view and (c) crystal stacking diagram.

[0054] From the crystal structure, we can see that the super cavity is encapsulated by Br - And AuBr2 exists outside the cavity + , mainly through the two-sphere model acting on the halogen (Br) of the coordination center gold to form a hydrogen bond framework network structure.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] Weigh 6 groups of 20 mg of super molecular cages and place them in 10 mL of 1600 ppm Au solution. 3+ The solution, in which the anion is chloride ion, was stirred at 1000 rpm at room temperature, and the stirring was stopped at 1 min, 5 min, 0.5 h, 2 h, 12 h and 24 h, and the solution was filtered and dried.
