[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ore dressing technology, and in particular to a pulping process method suitable for comprehensive utilization of gold tailings pond resources. Background Art

[0002] my country's gold resources are widely distributed and reserves are relatively concentrated. Gold resources are mainly rock gold, with associated gold accounting for a large proportion. There are many small deposits and few large and super-large deposits. The mining technical conditions are relatively complex, and there are few deposits available for open-pit mining. With the development of science and technology, refractory gold resources have been developed. Among my country's independent gold mines, the proportion of fine-grained, arsenic- and carbon-containing refractory resources is relatively large. Among the more than 3,000 tons of proven resource reserves, refractory resources account for about 1,000 tons, accounting for 33.3%. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of gold resources.

[0003] Gold mines built in China in the 1970s and 1980s were restricted by the industrial policies, technical level, and metallurgical processes at the time. Most of the gold processing plants used traditional processes such as gravity separation, mercury mixing, and flotation. The production technology level was low, the production indicators were poor, and the tailings contained a high amount of gold. These tailings were mainly treated in the form of stockpiling. With the advancement of metallurgical technology, it is imperative to recycle tailings, improve the economic benefits of mines, and reduce resource waste.

[0004] To achieve comprehensive recovery of gold metal from gold tailings, pulping is an important issue in the production process. The patent of this invention is proposed to solve the problems of gold tailings resources being difficult to handle due to the clumping in winter and unstable pulping concentration.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a pulping process suitable for comprehensive utilization of gold tailings pond resources, comprising the following steps: S1, crushing gold tailings containing stones, weeds, debris and carbon particles; S2, adding water to the crushed material in step S1 and flowing it into a strong scrubbing and stirring tank for stirring; wherein the stones sink to the bottom of the tank and are cleaned regularly, and the slurry is made in a high-concentration stirring tank and then pumped to a double-layer linear vibrating screen to screen out weeds, debris, pebbles and carbon particles; S3, the slurry after screening and impurity removal in step S2 enters the first stage hydrocyclone for a first stage classification operation, the first stage classification sand settling enters the MQY ball mill for grinding operation, the grinding operation product returns to the first stage classification hydrocyclone, and the first stage classification overflow enters the second stage hydrocyclone; S4, the overflow of the first stage classification in step S3 enters the second stage hydrocyclone for second stage classification operation, the overflow of the second stage classification operation returns to the first stage hydrocyclone for first stage classification, and the second stage classification sedimentation enters the cyanide leaching operation; S5, the sediment after the cyanide leaching operation in step S4 enters the carbon leaching process, the carbon leaching tailings enter the filter press workshop, are dehydrated by the box filter press and then dry-discharged to the tailings pond, and the filtrate is returned for use; the gold-loaded carbon product of the carbon leaching enters the activated carbon desorption, precious liquid separation, electrolysis, and smelting to produce gold.

[0007] In the above step S1, the selected gold tailings are gold tailings with a carbon particle size of -200 mesh 80% and a gold grade of 0.6g / t-1.0g / t; wherein the crushing is performed by a 2PG-100CT double-toothed roller crusher.

[0008] In the above step S2, the size of the strong scrubbing stirring tank is Φ2000mm×2000mm; the size of the high concentration stirring tank is Φ2000mm×2000mm; the double-layer linear vibrating screen model is 2ZS1230, with the size of the upper layer 5mm and the lower layer 1.5mm.

[0010] In the above step S4, the concentration of the second-stage classified sand settling is 40%±2%.

[0011] The present invention adopts the pulping process of "crushing + strong scrubbing + two-stage hydrocyclone classification" to comprehensively recycle the gold resources stored in the tailings pond, thereby solving the problem that the gold resources in the tailings are difficult to handle due to the clumping in winter, resulting in unstable pulping concentration; at the same time, the present invention adopts two-stage hydrocyclone classification, which has a simple structure and easy-to-obtain materials.
