Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and in particular relates to a method and system for efficiently removing lead from high-lead gold-loaded carbon desorption electrolytic gold mud. Background Art
[0002] The gold-loaded carbon in the full-mud cyanide carbon slurry gold extraction process is desorbed and electrolyzed at high temperature and high pressure to obtain electrolytic gold mud whose main components are gold (5%), silver (30%), copper (24%), lead (21%), calcium (9%), powdered carbon (1%), ore mud and other impurities (10%). The main methods for extracting gold and silver from cyanide gold mud are pyrometallurgical process, pyrometallurgical-hydrometallurgical combined process, and full hydrometallurgical process. Among them, the pyrometallurgical-hydrometallurgical combined process has the advantages of short process, low pollution, and high one-time recovery rate, and is widely used. The process method is: high-temperature smelting of electrolytic gold mud to enrich the metal, remove impurities entering the slag phase, and enrich to produce gold, silver, copper and lead alloys. The alloy is added to a reactor after water quenching and bead pouring, and gold and other metals are separated under the action of nitric acid. In this process, gold does not participate in the reaction and exists in the bottom of the reactor in a solid form. After drying, it can be directly cast into ingots. Silver, lead, copper and other metals are dissolved and enter the solution, and then a chlorination precipitation-cleaning neutralization-iron powder replacement process is used to achieve silver and copper separation and silver recovery.
[0003] As the lead content in the ore increases, the lead content in the gold-loaded carbon also increases, causing the lead content in the electrolytic gold mud to gradually increase. The gold and silver ingots produced by the traditional pyrometallurgical-hydrometallurgical combined process cannot meet the requirements. Combined with the analysis of this process method, the main reasons are: a part of the lead in the high-lead electrolytic gold mud is oxidized into lead dioxide during the pyrometallurgical smelting and water quenching process. Since lead dioxide has a stronger oxidizing property than nitric acid, lead dioxide does not react with nitric acid during the separation of gold and silver, and eventually remains in the sponge gold in a solid form, resulting in residual impurities in the gold powder. During the smelting process of the gold powder, lead dioxide and gold fuse together to form a gold-lead alloy. The surface of the cast gold ingot is not smooth, the gold ingot becomes brittle, and there are a large number of pores on the surface of the gold ingot, resulting in the gold ingot quality not meeting the standards. In addition, the unoxidized lead still forms alloys with gold, silver, and copper in a single state. During the nitric acid separation process, lead is converted into Pb 2+ The form is dissolved in the solution, and the mixed solution produced by nitric acid separation is added with hydrochloric acid for chlorination precipitation. + , Pb 2+ It is precipitated in the form of AgCl and PbCl2. Since both AgCl and PbCl2 can be replaced by elemental iron, Pb will also be replaced into the sponge silver during the replacement process. During the casting process, metallic silver and lead are eutectic, and the obtained silver ingot has a high impurity content, resulting in the silver ingot quality not meeting the standards. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method and system for efficiently removing lead from high-lead gold-loaded carbon desorption electrolytic gold mud, aiming to solve the problem that the traditional pyrometallurgical-wet method combined with hydrometallurgical method to treat high-lead gold-loaded carbon desorption electrolytic gold mud cannot effectively remove lead, and sponge gold and sponge silver contain a large amount of lead impurities, resulting in substandard product quality.

At this time, the lead dioxide PbO2 in the sponge gold is converted into easily soluble sodium lead acid Na2PbO3, and the impurity PbO2 is completely removed to obtain sponge gold with a purity greater than 95% and waste liquid. The comparison data of sponge gold and its gold content before and after the process are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Comparison of gold content in sponge gold before and after treatment

[0024] This embodiment is based on the lead removal method described in Example 1, and adds supporting equipment corresponding to the lead removal process of sponge gold and sponge silver, thereby forming a set of pyrometallurgical-hydrometallurgical combined smelting system with lead removal function. The specific working principle is as follows: The high-lead gold-loaded carbon desorption electrolytic gold mud is added to the trolley furnace 1 for baking to remove the moisture in the gold mud, burn and remove the powdered carbon in the gold mud, and oxidize most of the base metals in the gold mud to form metal oxides, so that they can be slag-formed and removed during the later primary smelting by pyrometallurgy; after baking, the gold mud is transferred to the rotating medium frequency furnace 2 for smelting, and under the action of the slag-forming agent, the base metal oxides in the gold mud slag into the slag phase, and the gold, silver, copper and lead metals enter the metal phase; then it is transferred to the lifting medium frequency furnace 4 for ingot casting, and then the gold, silver, copper and lead alloy and smelting slag are obtained, and the smelting slag is transferred to the jaw crusher 3 for crushing to further recover the valuable metals.
