Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for the synergistic high-value resource utilization of acid sludge from gold smelting and zinc oxide dust, belonging to the field of solid waste resource utilization. Background Technology
[0002] Sludge from gold smelting is solid waste generated by acid production systems. It contains metals such as selenium, silver, and iron. Most companies use methods such as sulfation roasting and wet leaching, which can only achieve high-value utilization of some metals. After treatment, the sludge is still industrial solid waste.
[0003] Zinc oxide dust is a volatilization product of zinc roasted sand leaching residue, containing elements such as chlorine, zinc, and germanium. Zinc and germanium are typically extracted using a two-stage acid leaching process: tannin precipitation of germanium, neutralization and iron precipitation, zinc powder purification, and electrowinning. However, after a period of time, chlorine accumulates in the system, causing consumption of the anode lead plate and reducing the quality of the zinc plate. Both acid leaching stages have high acid concentrations, resulting in dispersion of zinc and germanium in the leachate, and tannin consumption reaching 25-30 times the normal level. The entire leachate must then undergo neutralization and iron precipitation. When using the hematite method for neutralization and iron precipitation, hematite formation is difficult, leading to the formation of various iron oxides, and the grade of the iron precipitation residue is less than 40%.
[0004] Patent CN202310814647.7 discloses a method for leaching and separating lead, selenium, copper, and mercury from acidic sludge in a stepwise manner. The first step involves the synergistic leaching of selenium, copper, and mercury from the acidic sludge using sulfuric acid and sodium chlorate solution. The second step involves the reduction and precipitation of selenium from the leachate using hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfite. The third step involves the precipitation of copper from the selenium-containing solution using oxalic acid, and the reduction and precipitation of mercury from the copper-containing solution using sodium hypophosphite. The leaching rates of selenium, copper, and mercury can all reach over 99%. However, the document does not address the resource utilization of the residue after the extraction of selenium, copper, and mercury.
[0005] Patent CN202211503879.2 discloses a method for efficiently separating and recovering mercury and selenium from acid sludge using microwave heating combined with alkaline oxidation. The method involves heating dry acid sludge at high power density, causing mercury and selenium to react, vaporize, and volatilize. The roasting tailings are returned to the lead treatment system. A mixture of sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide absorbs the volatilized mercury and selenium gases, solidifying the mercury into dust and allowing selenium to enter the solution as sodium orthoselenate. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen tailings are washed and purified before being used to produce acid. The selenium-mercury mixture is used to separate crude mercury, mercury soot, and sodium orthoselenate solution. Sulfuric acid is added to adjust the pH of the sodium orthoselenate solution, and sodium sulfite is added for reduction, resulting in liquid-solid separation of crude selenium and selenium-mercury waste liquid. The selenium-mercury waste liquid is returned to the washing flue gas. However, the lead slag after roasting is only returned to the lead smelting system, failing to achieve high-value utilization.
[0006] Patent CN202310187035.X discloses a method for efficiently enriching germanium using a pre-zinc removal synergistic method with germanium-containing zinc oxide flue dust neutralization. The method comprises five steps: neutral leaching, primary leaching, secondary leaching, neutralization and germanium precipitation, and post-neutralization liquid reuse. In the neutral leaching stage, a large amount of ZnO is leached from the flue dust, while the phases of Pb, Fe, Ge, As, F, and Si remain largely unchanged, achieving efficient separation of the main element Zn from impurity elements. The primary leaching stage employs an oxidative leaching process to effectively leach ZnS, breaking down the ZnS-encapsulated germanium in the flue dust and enabling the leaching of large amounts of Fe, Ge, As, F, and Si. The secondary leaching stage uses a high-acid, high-temperature leaching process to effectively leach difficult-to-treat Pb5GeO7, Zn2SiO4, and Fe2(SiO3)3, improving the leaching of Ge and Zn. However, the H2O2, MnO2, or oxygen added during the secondary leaching stage are expensive, resulting in high process costs.
[0007] Patent CN202310709463.4 discloses a method for the combined leaching of high-silicon zinc roasted ore and high-sulfur zinc oxide powder. The high-sulfur zinc oxide powder is leached in a neutral environment to obtain zinc oxide powder leaching residue and zinc powder leaching solution. The zinc powder leaching solution is mixed with high-silicon zinc roasted ore slurry for controlled silicon leaching of the high-silicon zinc roasted ore to obtain zinc ore leaching residue and zinc ore leaching solution. The zinc powder leaching residue and zinc ore leaching residue are mixed and then subjected to low-acid leaching to obtain low-leaching residue and low-leaching solution. The low-leaching residue is subjected to hot acid leaching to obtain hot-leaching residue and hot-leaching solution. The hot-acid residue is subjected to high-acid leaching to obtain lead-silver slag product and high-leaching solution. The hot-leaching solution is neutralized and reduced by high-sulfur zinc oxide powder to obtain neutralized solution and neutralized residue. The neutralized solution is subjected to mineralization and iron precipitation to obtain hematite product and iron-removed solution. It can effectively control the leaching of silicon in the high-silicon zinc roasted ore leaching process, and simultaneously achieve the oxidative leaching of sulfides in zinc oxide powder and the reductive leaching of zinc ferrite in zinc roasted ore, simplifying the leaching process of zinc roasted ore and zinc oxide powder. However, when directly using the hematite method to precipitate iron, impurities such as FeO will be generated, resulting in low iron grade. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the problems of low resource value of acid sludge solid waste in existing technologies, the impact of Cl in oxidized flue dust on electrodeposition, Ge dispersion in flue dust treatment, high tannic acid consumption, and difficulty in hematite precipitation, this invention proposes a method for the synergistic high-value resource utilization of acid sludge from gold smelting and zinc oxide flue dust. The method mainly includes 12 steps: alkaline washing and dechlorination, pulping, oxidative roasting, reduction ripening, chlorination roasting, neutral leaching, high-acid leaching, pre-neutralization, tannin precipitation of germanium, neutralization precipitation of iron, high-pressure ripening, and purified electrodeposition. First, alkaline washing removes chloride ions from the flue dust, reducing the burden on electrodeposition. After mixing the dechlorination solution with the acid sludge from gold smelting, low-temperature microwave roasting removes selenium, followed by high-temperature chlorination to volatilize silver. Part of the remaining iron oxides are used as an oxidant to enhance the leaching of ZnS from the neutral leaching residue of the flue dust, and another part is added as a seed crystal to the neutralization precipitation process to enhance hematite formation. The flue dust is first leached in a neutral state, followed by a high-acid oxidative leaching. Under the condition of achieving efficient germanium leaching, Ge is concentrated in the second-stage leachate, thereby reducing the consumption of tannic acid.
[0009] The acid sludge from gold smelting is produced by roasting gold and silver sulfide ores, which generates sulfur dioxide-containing flue gas. After dust collection, the sulfur dioxide flue gas and a small amount of residual dust are sent to produce acid. During the conversion, sulfuric acid is used to wash the residual dust, which is called acid sludge from gold smelting. The washing liquid is called dirty acid.

[0016] (6) Neutral leaching: The dechlorinated flue dust from step (1) is neutrally leached in waste electrolyte, and the liquid and solid are separated to obtain neutral leaching residue and neutral leaching solution;

[0018] (8) Pre-neutralization: The high acid leaching solution in step (7) is pre-neutralized using zinc oxide dust, and the pre-neutralized leaching solution and pre-neutralized leaching residue are obtained by concentrated separation. The pre-neutralized leaching residue is returned to step (7) high acid leaching.
[0019] (9) Tannin precipitation of germanium: Tannin acid is added to the pre-neutralized leachate in step (8) to precipitate germanium, and liquid-solid separation is performed to obtain tannin germanium slag and germanium precipitate liquid. The tannin germanium slag is roasted to obtain germanium concentrate.
[0020] (10) Neutralizing and precipitating iron: Using the silver-removing iron slag from step (5) as hematite seed crystals, the silver-removing iron slag and alkaline reagent are added to the germanium precipitation solution to neutralize and precipitate iron to obtain a neutralized iron precipitation solution.
