TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for comprehensive recovery of multiple elements in complex gold concentrate. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous rise of global gold demand, the pace of development and utilization of gold concentrate resources has also accelerated; with the gradual reduction of high-quality gold concentrate reserves, complex gold concentrate resources have become a key part of the gold sources of many countries. Although the development and refining technology of these complex gold concentrates are more stringent, they have contributed significantly to gold production and ensured the sustainability of gold supply.
[0003] When processing complex gold concentrates, a serious challenge is faced. These ores usually contain a large amount of harmful substances such as arsenic, antimony and bismuth, which will have a series of negative effects on smelting in the process of enriching gold by using pyrometallurgical technology. A large amount of coking will be produced in the updraft and waste heat boiler during the smelting process, which will destroy the normal combustion conditions, and in severe cases, it will even block the furnace outlet, causing forced shutdown and the need for regular cleaning; and because the raw materials contain arsenic and antimony, in the process of quenching and collecting arsenic, due to the similar properties of arsenic and antimony, antimony in the flue gas will be precipitated in the form of antimony trioxide together with arsenic trioxide during the cooling process, resulting in the presence of antimony trioxide impurities in the arsenic trioxide collected from the flue gas.
[0004] In the prior art, to deal with or inhibit the formation of coking, a coking inhibitor is usually added, but different raw materials, different types and contents of impurities result in that there is no fixed coking inhibitor that can be used. CN 119826567 A discloses a coking inhibitor and a preparation method thereof, the coking inhibitor comprising: a reducing agent, a sulfur-containing substance, a silicon-containing substance and a calcium-containing substance, wherein the valence of sulfur in the sulfur-containing substance is negative two or zero; the use of this coking inhibitor can reduce the melting point of the coking body, promote the melting of the coking body, and is conducive to inhibiting the occurrence of coking phenomenon. However, the coking inhibitor can only convert high-melting-point compounds in the coking body into low-melting-point compounds by reduction and sulfidation, and then combine the silicon-containing substance, the calcium-containing substance and the low-melting-point compounds by slagging to promote the melting of the coking body, which has limited coking inhibition effect, and the coking inhibitor is not suitable for coking bodies with complex composition and content. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a method for comprehensive recovery of multiple elements in complex gold concentrate; the coking inhibitor is sprayed during the process of smelting and recovering valuable elements in complex gold concentrate, which can reduce the occurrence of coking and improve the production start-up rate.
[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0007] A method for comprehensive multi-element recovery of complex gold concentrate, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1. bottom blowing smelting of the complex gold concentrate and auxiliary material I in an oxygen-rich air atmosphere in a bottom blowing furnace to obtain copper matte, bottom slag and flue gas; the auxiliary material I is quartzite and limestone;
[0009] S2. top blowing converting of the copper matte and auxiliary material II in an air atmosphere in a top blowing furnace to obtain crude copper, flue gas and converting slag; the auxiliary material II is limestone;
[0010] S3. refining of the crude copper with a carbonate in an air atmosphere, and after the reaction is completed, reduction in an inert atmosphere by passing in methane gas to obtain copper anode plates;
[0011] In step S1, a coking inhibitor is sprayed in the rising flue of the bottom blowing furnace during the bottom blowing smelting process; the coking inhibitor is composed of di aluminum trioxide, calcium oxide, sodium carbonate, ammonium molybdate, sodium borate, and cerium dioxide.
[0012] Specifically, the complex gold concentrate contains gold concentrate, silver concentrate and copper concentrate, and can also contain one or both of chalcopyrite and pyrite; wherein the copper concentrate contains CuS, Fe3O4, FeS2 and CuFeS2, the chalcopyrite contains CuFeS2, the pyrite contains FeS2, and the gold concentrate and silver concentrate contain FeS2, CuFeS2 and SiO2.
[0013] More specifically, the main components in the complex gold concentrate have the following contents: Au content of 15-100 g / t, Ag content of 100-500 g / t, Cu content of 9.0wt%-25wt%, As content of ≤5.0wt%, Sb content of ≤4.0wt%, Bi content of ≤3.0wt%, S content of 20wt%-35wt%, Fe content of 20wt%-35wt%, Te content of ≤1.0wt%, Pd content of 0.02-5 g / t, and Pt content of 0.02-5 g / t.
[0014] Complex gold concentrate due to the mineral composition is more diverse, containing a large number of metal and non-metal impurity components, in the high temperature bottom blowing smelting process, the low melting point of these impurities (such as lead, zinc, etc.) first reach the melting point and liquefaction, these molten state of matter will flow with the flue gas and rise; in the rising to the inner wall surface of the flue and waste heat boiler, these liquid state of matter will gradually adhere to the deposition, at the same time, also can absorb the fine solid particles carried by the flue gas, with the passage of time, this kind of adhesion deposition phenomenon continues to accumulate, eventually form a dense aggregate, this gradually accumulated in the inner wall of smelting equipment to form solid deposits of process, in the metallurgical process is collectively referred to as coking phenomenon. Coking not only reduces the heat transfer efficiency, but also affects the normal flow of flue gas, adversely affect the normal operation of smelting equipment; especially in the internal flue, easy to form a relatively thick coking body, these coking body will destroy the normal combustion condition, serious even can block the furnace outlet, resulting in forced shutdown. Because of different raw material composition, the coking inhibitor used is different, the coking inhibitor of the present application makes the coking material from low melting point, high viscosity, dense hard harmful substances, into high melting point, good fluidity, loose porous easy to remove material, so as to achieve the dual purpose of high efficiency inhibition and convenient cleaning.
[0015] Further, in step S1, the coking inhibitor consists of 30-40 parts of aluminum oxide, 20-30 parts of calcium oxide, 10-20 parts of sodium carbonate, 10-20 parts of ammonium molybdate, 5-10 parts of sodium borate and 1-3 parts of cerium dioxide by mass fraction.
[0016] Among them, aluminum oxide as a high melting point of amphoteric oxide, is the skeleton material of building high melting point phase, which reacts with zinc ferrite to generate zinc aluminate spinel, with FeO to generate iron aluminate spinel, with CaO to generate calcium aluminate, these high melting point phase forms a solid, non-stick "skeleton", which wraps, divides and isolates the low melting point coking components (such as PbO), significantly improves the softening temperature and hardness of the whole coking material, and makes its structure brittle, easy to be mechanically removed.
[0017] Calcium oxide as a strong alkaline oxide is the most critical component for fixing arsenic, which reacts with arsenate at high temperature to generate extremely stable calcium arsenate, converts the active form of arsenic into inert and stable form, and fixes it in the slag, and cooperates with aluminum oxide to generate high melting point calcium aluminate, providing structural support for the whole system.
[0018] Sodium carbonate decomposes into sodium oxide Na2O (strong base) and CO2 at high temperature, and sodium oxide reacts with sulfide (PbS, CuS, Cu2S, etc.) to generate sodium sulfate, which can significantly reduce the high temperature viscosity of the whole system, improve the fluidity of the molten slag, and make the formed coking material more easily washed away by the gas flow of flue gas.
[0019] Ammonium molybdate decomposes into molybdenum trioxide and ammonia gas at high temperature, and the molybdenum trioxide will be embedded into the growing coking crystal structure, destroying its dense and continuous structure, so that the coking changes from hard and dense, firmly attached to loose, porous, fragile state, and this "crumbly" coking is more easily removed by gas flow impact or mechanical decoking.
[0020] Sodium borate has a low melting point (about 740 DEG C), and at this temperature, it will melt to form a borate glass liquid phase, and the molten borate glass liquid phase has good fluidity, can wet and spread on the un-melted coking particles and refractory material surface, forming a physical barrier to isolate the contact between the coking particles, and the contact between the coking and the reaction atmosphere (such as flue gas), which can inhibit the further adsorption of coking; at the same time, sodium borate and sodium carbonate can further reduce the viscosity of the system.
[0021] Cerium dioxide plays a role in inhibiting catalysis and dispersion. Metals such as Cu and Fe and their compounds are catalysts for coking reactions, and cerium dioxide strongly adsorbs on these catalytically active sites through its unique electronic effect, like a "seal" to block the contact between reactants and active sites, thereby inhibiting the activity of these catalysts and making them inactive; and cerium dioxide particles can adhere to the surface of coking particles to prevent their aggregation and growth, thereby playing a dispersion role.
[0022] In the process of complex gold concentrate bottom blowing smelting, the coking inhibitor is sprayed in the rising flue of the bottom blowing furnace, so that the coking changes from low-melting-point, high-viscosity, dense and hard harmful substances to high-melting-point, good-fluidity, loose and porous easily-removed substances, thereby achieving the dual purposes of efficient inhibition of coking and convenient cleaning, reducing the generation of coking in the rising flue of the bottom blowing furnace, and prolonging the cleaning interval of the coking generated in the waste heat boiler along with the flue gas from 20-25 days to 45-50 days; the cleaning time is reduced from 6-12 hours to 4-8 hours each time, reducing the labor intensity and improving the production efficiency.
[0023] In the process of complex gold concentrate bottom blowing smelting, the coking inhibitor is sprayed in the rising flue of the bottom blowing furnace, so that the coking changes from low-melting-point, high-viscosity, dense and hard harmful substances to high-melting-point, good-fluidity, loose and porous easily-removed substances, thereby achieving the dual purposes of efficient inhibition of coking and convenient cleaning, reducing the generation of coking in the rising flue of the bottom blowing furnace, and prolonging the cleaning interval of the coking generated in the waste heat boiler along with the flue gas from 20-25 days to 45-50 days; the cleaning time is reduced from 6-12 hours to 4-8 hours each time, reducing the labor intensity and improving the production efficiency.

[0031] Preferably, the arsenic recovery system recovers the crude arsenic trioxide solid by a quenching arsenic recovery method.
[0032] In the quenching arsenic recovery process, because arsenic and antimony have similar properties, antimony in the flue gas is precipitated in the form of antimony trioxide together with arsenic trioxide during the cooling process, so that the arsenic trioxide collected from the flue gas contains antimony trioxide impurities. The present application takes advantage of the characteristics that arsenic trioxide is difficult to dissolve in saturated arsenic trioxide dilute hydrochloric acid solution, while antimony trioxide is soluble in the solution and generates soluble chlorides, and performs acid leaching (saturated arsenic trioxide dilute hydrochloric acid solution) on the antimony-containing arsenic trioxide, effectively removing the antimony impurities, and obtaining arsenic trioxide with a purity of more than 99.5%. The main reaction is:
