Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Copper and molybdenum are important non-ferrous metal resources, and in nature, they are mostly associated with each other. Copper-molybdenum ore widely existing in China has high economic value. In the traditional copper-molybdenum ore, a beneficiation process is generally used to separate qualified molybdenum concentrate and copper concentrate, and the copper content in the molybdenum concentrate is strictly controlled. After the molybdenum concentrate is roasted to obtain industrial molybdenum oxide, it is used to produce molybdenum iron or ammonium molybdate through ammonia leaching. In the roasting process of the molybdenum concentrate, MoS2 is oxidized to MoO3, and when the copper content is high, it is easy to generate molybdate which is difficult to dissolve, thereby seriously affecting the recovery rate of molybdenum. However, it is difficult to separate qualified molybdenum concentrate from some copper-molybdenum ore, and in order to ensure the recovery rate of copper and molybdenum, only copper-molybdenum mixed ore can be produced, which is difficult to be treated by using the traditional process, and therefore, it is urgent to develop a new copper-molybdenum ore smelting process.

[0029] The application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which are helpful for those skilled in the art to further understand the application, but do not limit the application in any form.

[0030] In combination Figure 1 , the method of the application mainly includes the following aspects:

[0031] I. Extraction of copper

[0032] The two-stage atmospheric acid leaching mode of one-stage weak acid leaching for directional silicon precipitation and two-stage low-acid leaching for deep copper leaching is adopted to realize the goals of efficient copper leaching, directional silicon precipitation and efficient separation of copper and silicon, etc. The one-stage weak acid leaching solution is used for producing cathode copper by cyclone electrowinning, and copper products are obtained through a short process.

[0033] The main components of the low-grade molybdenum-containing copper concentrate are as follows: Mo: 0.5% to 2%, Cu: 1.0% to 10.0%, SiO2:

[0034] 25% to 30%, and Ca: 1.0% to 3.0%.

[0035] 1.1 One-stage leaching

[0036] The low-grade molybdenum-containing copper concentrate is put into a one-stage leaching tank, the two-stage leaching solution is supplemented with concentrated sulfuric acid (Wt98%) to prepare one-stage leaching agent with a sulfuric acid concentration of 120 to 180 g / L, the prepared one-stage leaching agent is added to the one-stage leaching tank, the solid-liquid ratio is controlled at 1:3 to 1:8, the pH of the slurry is controlled at 2.0 to 3.0, the heating temperature is controlled at 65 to 85°C, and after stirring for 1 to 4 hours, filtration is performed. The one-stage leaching filtrate enters the electrowinning step, and the one-stage leaching residue enters the two-stage acid leaching.

[0037] 1.2 Two-stage leaching

[0038] The one-stage leaching residue is put into a two-stage leaching tank, the electrowinning mother liquor is supplemented with hydrogen peroxide (Wt27%) at a volume ratio of 5000:1, the prepared electrowinning mother liquor is added to the two-stage leaching tank, the solid-liquid ratio is controlled at 1:3 to 1:8, the pH of the slurry is controlled at 1.0 to 2.0, the heating temperature is controlled at 65 to 85°C, and after stirring for 1 to 4 hours, filtration is performed. The two-stage leaching filtrate is returned to the one-stage leaching and used as one-stage leaching agent, and the two-stage leaching residue enters the three-stage leaching.

[0039] The total copper leaching rate is ≥95%, the silicon leaching rate is <1%, and the copper content in the two-stage leaching residue is <0.6%.

[0040] 1.3 Electrowinning

[0041] The copper is electrodeposited from the solution to form cathode copper by electrodeposition process to realize the extraction and productization of copper. The main components of the first stage leaching solution are copper, the copper concentration is about 15-25 g / L, and the Si concentration is <200 mg / L. Concentrated sulfuric acid (Wt 98%) is added to the first stage leaching solution according to the sulfuric acid concentration of 50-60 g / L to increase the electrolyte concentration and reduce the power consumption. Three-stage cyclone electrodeposition in constant current mode is adopted, and the current density is set to 600 A / m 2 , 400 A / m 2 , and 200 A / m 2 , respectively. After electrodeposition, the copper concentration in the solution is reduced to <1 g / L, and copper with a purity of >99.5% is obtained. The electrodeposition principle is as follows:

[0042] Anode reaction: In the process of electrodeposition of copper, titanium alloy anode is used. When direct current is passed, oxidation reaction occurs on the surface of the anode. The hydroxyl ions (OH - ) in the solution lose electrons at the anode and undergo oxidation reaction to generate oxygen and water. The electrode reaction formula is: 4OH - -4e-=O2+2H2O.

[0043] Cathode reaction: Copper ions (Cu 2+ ) in the copper-containing solution obtain electrons at the cathode surface, undergo reduction reaction to generate metallic copper, and deposit on the cathode. The electrode reaction formula is: Cu 2+ +2e - =Cu. Through this reaction, the copper ions in the solution are converted into metallic copper, realizing the extraction and recovery of copper.

[0044] II. Extraction of molybdenum

[0045] The copper concentrate contains about 0.8%-2% molybdenum. Due to its existence form mainly including calcium molybdate, copper molybdate, and molybdenum disulfide, Mo is still retained in the second stage leaching residue after two-stage acid leaching. In order to extract valuable metal molybdenum, Na2CO3 is used for pressure leaching of molybdenum in the second stage leaching residue in the third stage leaching. The slurry after the third stage leaching is filtered by a pressure filter to realize solid-liquid separation. The third stage leaching solution enters the concentration and crystallization process, and the third stage leaching residue is copper concentrate smelting slag, which is a general solid waste.

[0046] 2.1 Third stage leaching

[0047] The second stage leaching residue is put into a high-pressure reaction kettle, and a Na2CO3 solution prepared at 120-180 g / L is added to the high-pressure reaction kettle. The solid-liquid ratio is controlled at 1:3-1:5, the heating temperature is 200-250°C, the oxygen partial pressure is 0.8-1.2 MPa, and the stirring reaction is carried out for 3-6 hours. After filtration, the third stage leaching filtrate is used for ion exchange to extract molybdenum.

[0048] According to the oxidation leaching reaction mechanism of molybdenum disulfide in sodium carbonate solution under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the reaction equation is as follows:

[0049] H2MoO4 + Na2CO3→ Na2MoO4 + H2O + CO2↑

[0050] CaMoO4 + Na2CO3→ Na2MoO4 + CaCO3↓

[0051] CuMoO4 + Na2CO3→ Na2MoO4 + CuCO3↓

[0052] MoS2 + 6Na2CO3 + 9O2→ Na2MoO4 + 2Na2SO4 + 6CO2↑

[0053] The carbon dioxide tail gas is absorbed by 150-200 g / L NaOH solution and is used for the three-stage leaching.

[0054] The three-stage leaching achieves a molybdenum leaching rate of ≥85%, a silicon leaching rate of <0.5%, and a three-stage leaching residue containing <0.1% molybdenum.

[0055] 2.2 Ion exchange enrichment of molybdenum

[0056] The above three-stage filtrate is adsorbed by an acrylic polyamine-based weakly basic ion exchange resin, the pre-exchange liquid is adjusted to a pH of 2.0-6.0 by H2SO4, and adsorption, washing, and desorption are performed at a linear speed of 2-10 m / h. The adsorption is stopped when the Mo concentration of the column effluent is >20 mg / L. After the resin is rinsed with industrial water, 4%-10% NH3·H2O-4%-10% NH4Cl is used to desorb Mo, and an ammonium molybdate solution with a molybdenum concentration of 100-150 g / L is obtained. The ion exchange resin after desorption is transferred to the adsorption step.

[0057] 2.3 Acid precipitation of molybdenum

[0058] At a temperature of 20-40°C, the collected ammonium molybdate solution is added to hydrochloric acid (wt 20%-36%) for acid precipitation. When the pH is not changed at 2-3, centrifugal filtration is performed to obtain pure ammonium tetramolybdate product.
