Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bioleaching, and particularly relates to a ferrous oxide microbial composite bacterium agent and its use in the treatment of refined copper slag. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are mainly four treatment technologies for recovering metals from electronic waste at home and abroad, namely mechanical treatment technology, heat treatment technology, hydrometallurgy technology and biotechnology. These technologies have achieved certain effects to a certain extent. However, the first three methods generally have a low metal recovery rate, cannot completely separate metals, and are prone to cause secondary pollution to the environment. The biosorption method has many advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, low energy consumption, and no secondary pollution in recovering precious metals from electronic waste, making it one of the most promising technologies. Taking copper metal as an example, the most abundant chalcopyrite usually has a low grade, and the high cost of conventional high-temperature smelting makes it difficult to realize its economic value. However, its composition is complex and its crystal structure is dense, and there are also problems such as long leaching cycle and low efficiency in the biological leaching process. At the same time, the waste slag produced after the refined copper process itself contains 0.25%-1% of copper elements, which cannot be extracted for a long time due to the limitations of flotation agents and flotation technologies. Therefore, it is imperative to recover metals such as copper from refined copper slag and realize the secondary utilization of metals. Biological leaching is a biochemical process in which microorganisms and metals react with each other, and its main functional microorganism is acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria. In the leaching of refined copper slag, acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria can oxidize ferrous in the leaching system to produce ferric ions, which act as oxidants to attack the elemental copper in the refined copper slag, releasing ferrous ions and copper ions. Therefore, the growth of such microorganisms during the leaching process is very important. At present, the common drawbacks of the strains used in biological leaching are: short leaching time limit. As time goes by, the leaching efficiency gradually decreases and finally stops, and the overall efficiency is low. And due to the continuous fluctuation of chemical parameters during the leaching process, the proportion of the strains also continuously changes during the whole leaching process. How to better balance the microbial proportion of iron-oxidizing strains at different stages so that they can play the greatest efficiency during the leaching process requires intervening and regulating the leaching process of such functional microorganisms by means of external sources according to the growth of microorganisms and the changes of chemical parameters during the leaching process. In the process of extracting copper metal from lean ore by leaching method, biological bacterium agents have been widely used and have a certain leaching effect. However, in the treatment of refined copper slag, due to the insufficient tolerance of the strains to flotation agents and their own oxidizability, the biological leaching method has not been applicable to further extract copper metal. Therefore, it is very meaningful to study an easily obtainable microbial composite bacterium agent for leaching and recovering copper metal from refined copper slag, and it is imperative to invent a high-efficiency, low-consumption and easily obtainable microbial composite bacterium agent.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to further explore methods to enhance the leaching of copper metal from refined copper slag based on microbial growth and chemical regulation, starting from improving the microbial efficiency of iron-oxidizing bacteria, improving the growth of microorganisms and the activity of iron metabolism in the bioleaching process, and ultimately enhancing the leaching efficiency of refined copper slag.

[0004] Note: Refined copper slag, also known as copper tailings slag, is one of the main waste residues in pyrometallurgical copper production. It is the residue remaining after the flotation process of copper ore, mainly composed of iron tetroxide and silicon dioxide. Depending on the flotation process, it contains 0.25%-1% copper and trace amounts of associated metals such as nickel, gold, and silver. Currently, there is no effective disposal method in China, and it is mainly stacked (i.e., the so-called tailings pond). Summary of the Invention

The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: The microorganism with the above preservation number is beneficial to further improve the leaching efficiency, the tolerance rate to refined copper slag, the high leaching efficiency and the stability of the microbial agent.

[0011] Furthermore, the cell number ratio of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans is (1 - 3):(3 - 1).

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: Adopting the above ratio is beneficial to further improve the leaching efficiency, the tolerance rate to refined copper slag, the high leaching efficiency and the stability of the microbial agent.

[0013] Furthermore, the cell number ratio of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans is 1:1 or 1:2 or 1:3 or 2:1 or 3:1.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: Adopting the above ratio is beneficial to further improve the leaching efficiency, the tolerance rate to refined copper slag, the high leaching efficiency and the stability of the microbial agent.

[0015] The present invention provides the application of the above Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans microbial complex agent in metal leaching. It is particularly suitable for leaching metals in refined copper slag.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: The microbial complex agent provided by the present invention can be applied in metal leaching. It is particularly suitable for leaching metals in refined copper slag, which is convenient for recycling and secondary utilization, and solves the problem of serious metal pollution caused by refined copper slag. It can also be further widely applied in environmental protection. For example, in the specific implementation process, Fe3+ obtained by oxidizing Fe2+ oxidizes H2S waste gas, thus realizing the treatment of H2S waste gas. The microbial complex agent of the present invention can be widely applied in the fields of environmental protection and metal leaching from refined copper slag, etc. It has the advantages of being conducive to metal recycling, environmental protection, high metal leaching rate, high tolerance rate to refined copper slag, etc. The microbial complex agent provided by the present invention can grow normally in an environment with a refined copper slag concentration of 22 g / L.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for leaching metals using the above Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans microbial complex agent, including the following steps: inoculating the above Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans microbial complex agent in 9K medium, adding refined copper slag to the 9K medium, and performing fermentation culture.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: Adopting the above method for leaching metals has the advantages of being conducive to metal resource recycling, environmental protection, long-lasting leaching efficiency, high tolerance rate to refined copper slag, high leaching efficiency, and strong stability of the microbial agent.

[0019] Furthermore, during fermentation culture, the culture temperature is 35 - 45 °C.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above solution are as follows: The above-mentioned culture temperature is conducive to the growth of the bacterial cells. If the temperature is too low, it will lead to the problem of slow or no growth of the bacterial cells. If the temperature is too high, it will also lead to the problem of slow or even no growth of the bacterial cells.

[0021] Furthermore, in the 9K culture medium, the initial concentration of Fe2+ is 10 - 30 g / L.

[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above solution are as follows: An appropriate concentration of Fe2+ is conducive to the growth of the bacterial cells. If the concentration of Fe2+ is too low, it is likely to cause the problem of slow growth of the bacterial cells. If the concentration of Fe2+ is too high, it is also likely to cause the problem of slow growth of the bacterial cells.

[0023] Furthermore, the initial pH value of the culture medium is 2.0 - 3.0, the fermentation culture time is 10 - 30 days, and the shaking speed of the shaker during fermentation culture is 120 - 180 rpm.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above solution are as follows: The above-mentioned culture conditions are conducive to the growth of the bacterial cells. If the pH value is too low, it is likely to cause the problem of slow or no growth of the bacterial cells. If the pH value is too high, it is likely to cause the problem of slow growth of the bacterial cells.

[0025] Specifically, the biological leaching recovery method of refined copper slag using the described leaching microbial complex agent may include the following steps: (1) Pretreatment of refined copper slag The refined copper slag to be used for leaching is pretreated to remove the residual flotation agent attached to the surface. Generally, methods such as washing with water and drying in the sun can be used.

[0026] (2) Preparation of the microbial complex agent This microbial complex agent is composed of a Thiobacillus ferrooxidans microorganism and a Leptospirillum ferrooxidans microorganism. The optimal ratio of the cell numbers of the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans microorganism and the Leptospirillum ferrooxidans microorganism is preferably 1:1 or 1:2 or 1:3 or 2:1 or 3:1.

[0027] (3) Metal leaching of refined copper slag The refined copper slag is added to the 9K culture medium containing the microbial complex agent and placed in a shaker for cultivation. The cultivation conditions are as follows: the pH value is 2.0 - 3.0, the cultivation temperature is 35 - 45 °C, the cultivation time is 20 - 30 days, the initial concentration of Fe2+ is 10 - 30 g / L, and the shaking speed of the shaker is 180 rpm.

[0028] (4) Measure the leaching solution obtained in the above steps. Before measurement, shake well, let it stand, and then take 0.1 mL of the leaching solution and dilute it to 60 mL with distilled water. Use a test kit (Guangdong Kaiwei Microbial Technology Co., Ltd.) to measure the concentrations of copper ions and nickel ions (if present).

[0029] In the refined copper slag treatment method described in step (1), in the present invention, the refined copper slag can also be directly used for leaching. However, the flotation agent is generally an organic reagent and there are differences in the reagents used in different flotation methods. To avoid the influence of uncertain factors on the bacterial agent, it should be removed as much as possible.

[0030] The microbial composite bacterial agent described in step (2) has the following advantages in such preparation: it has high iron oxidation activity, and avoids the problems of repulsion between strains and low efficiency. This microbial composite bacterial agent can be used as a whole, with the advantages of high stability, strong environmental adaptability, high leaching efficiency, and simple preparation. It can effectively and low-consumedly leach the metals in the refined copper slag, which is convenient for recovery and secondary utilization.

[0031] In the method described in step (3), the microbial composite bacterial agent uses CO2 as a carbon source during the leaching process, oxidizes Fe2+ in the leaching solution to Fe3+, and the metal ions are converted from a fixed state to a free ionic state. The ionic state of the metal can be extracted and recovered by displacement reaction.

[0032] In the leaching process described in steps (1), (2), (3), and (4), the concentration of the refined copper slag added does not exceed 22 g / L.

[0033] A 9K medium with a specific Fe2+ concentration can be prepared according to the following ratio. For example, to prepare a 9K medium with an Fe2+ concentration of 30 g / L, the formula can be: 0.3 g (NH4)2SO4, 0.1 g KCl, 0.5 g K2HPO4, 0.5 g MgSO4·7H2O, 0.01 g Ca(NO3)2, 30 g FeSO4·7H2O, and 1000 mL of distilled water. Finally, adjust the pH value to 1.5 - 2.0 with 0.5 mol / L H2SO4 to obtain the 9K medium. Detailed implementation mode The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all professional terms used hereinafter in the technical solution of the present invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0036] The technical terms used in this article are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specifically stated, various raw materials, reagents, instruments, equipment, etc. used in the present invention can be obtained through market purchase or can be prepared by existing methods. It is not limited to the specific embodiments listed below, but also includes any combination between specific embodiments.

[0037] The present invention provides an iron-oxidizing microbial composite bacterium agent and its use for leaching metals from refined copper slag, which relates to an iron-oxidizing microbial composite bacterium agent and its use for leaching metals from refined copper slag. At present, the single-strain and composite-strain microorganisms used in the research of biological leaching, whether single-strain or composite-strain, have the disadvantage of short leaching time limit. From the beginning of the leaching process, as time goes by, the leaching ability of the strains gradually decreases, and few strains can maintain their leaching activity after continuous leaching for 28 days.

[0038] However, the iron-oxidizing microbial composite bacterium agent provided in this application can still maintain an Fe2+ oxidation rate of more than 70% after 35 days of leaching. When the leaching time is 28 days, the Fe2+ oxidation rate is the highest, reaching 97.78%.

[0081] To better demonstrate this microbial composite agent and its uses, a comparative example was specifically added to highlight the effectiveness of the formulation of this microbial composite agent.

[0083] 9K medium: 0.3 g of (NH4)2SO4, 0.1 g of KCl, 0.5 g of K2HPO4, 0.5 g of MgSO4·7H2O, 0.01 g of Ca(NO3)2, 30 g of FeSO4·7H2O, and 1000 mL of distilled water. Finally, adjust the pH value to 2.25 with 0.5 mol / L H2SO4.

[0084] Inoculate Thiobacillus ferrooxidans microorganisms (the strain used is Thiobacillus ferrooxidans with the preservation number of ATCC23270) into the 9K medium at an inoculation amount of 10% (v / v), and add refined copper slag to the 9K medium. Cultivate for 100 hours under the conditions of a cultivation temperature of 35°C, a shaker speed of 180 rpm, an initial Fe2+ concentration of 20 g / L, and a pH value of 2.25.

[0086] It was found that the microbial agent containing only one kind of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans microorganisms could still grow normally in the 9K medium with the concentration of added refined copper slag ranging from 0 to 20 g / L. However, when the concentration of refined copper slag exceeded 20 g / L, this iron-oxidizing microorganism could not grow. It shows that the tolerance rate of this microorganism to refined copper slag is 20 g / L.

[0087] Comparative Example 2 The microbial agent contains only one kind of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans microorganisms.

[0091] It was found that the bacterial agent in this comparative example could still grow normally in the 9K medium with the concentration of refined copper slag added being 0 - 20 g / L. However, when the concentration of refined copper slag exceeded 20 g / L, this ferrous-iron-oxidizing microorganism could not grow. It shows that the tolerance rate of this microorganism to refined copper slag is 20 g / L.

Then take out the conical flask, shake it to mix the precipitate evenly, and after standing for the precipitate to be stable, take 0.1 mL of the leaching solution and dilute it to 60 mL with distilled water. Use a test kit (Guangdong Kai Microbial Technology Co., Ltd.) to measure the copper ions and nickel ions in the leaching solution.

[0095] The measured leaching rate of copper is 71.23%. The leaching rate of nickel is 54.44%.

The leaching was carried out for 28 days under the conditions of a culture temperature of 35 °C, a shaker speed of 180 rpm, an initial Fe2+ concentration of 20 g / L, and a pH value of 2.25. Then, the conical flask was taken out, shaken to mix the precipitate evenly, and after the precipitate was stabilized by standing, 0.1 mL of the leaching solution was diluted to 60 mL with distilled water, and a test kit (Guangdong Kai Microbial Technology Co., Ltd.) was used to measure the copper ions and nickel ions in the leaching solution.

[0099] Measurement results: The leaching rate of copper was 68.17%. The leaching rate of nickel was 59.89%.
