Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mineral processing and technological mineralogy analysis, specifically to an analytical method for the occurrence state of gold in heap leaching samples. Background Technology

[0002] Gold, as an important strategic resource, has always attracted much attention in its beneficiation and smelting technology. Heap leaching, due to its advantages such as low investment cost, simple operation, and applicability to low-grade ores, has become an important process for gold extraction. However, in actual production, the gold leaching recovery rate often falls short of ideal levels. This problem is closely related to the occurrence state of gold in the ore. Gold exists in ores in complex and diverse forms. Conventional studies only discuss indicators of direct leaching, lacking specificity, because gold often exists in various forms, including coarse-grained gold that is difficult to leach completely, leached gold that can be directly leached, encapsulated gold bound by sulfides or gangue, and adsorbed gold adsorbed by minerals such as clay. Gold in different occurrence states exhibits drastically different behavioral characteristics during leaching, directly affecting the leaching effect.

[0003] Currently, the analysis of gold occurrence states mainly relies on microscopic observation methods such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. While these methods can provide intuitive mineralogical information, they have significant limitations: First, the sample representativeness is insufficient, making it difficult to reflect the overall characteristics of bulk materials in heap leaching; second, the analysis cycle is long and costly, hindering rapid guidance on the production site; most importantly, these methods cannot accurately quantify the distribution ratio of gold in different occurrence states, especially for gold minerals with fine particle size and complex dispersion, where the analysis results often differ significantly from actual leaching behavior, lacking specificity. For heap leaching processes, traditional gold occurrence state analysis methods cannot effectively distinguish key forms such as leached gold, encapsulated gold, and adsorbed gold, resulting in a lack of targeted guidance for process parameter optimization. In production practice, problems such as inappropriate leaching agent dosage and unreasonable leaching time due to unclear occurrence states frequently occur, leading to resource waste and low recovery rates. The invention patent with publication number CN112378940A provides a method for measuring the gold content of gold-bearing minerals. The method involves preparing an MLA sample from the original sample, using an MLA instrument to measure the relative content of the gold-bearing minerals, manually re-panning the sample, and then leaching the mixed sample with a gold-leaching agent. The gold grade in different samples is determined using SEM and an integrated microscope. Based on the test results, a reasonable and accurate trend curve is obtained, accurate data is screened, and the gold content of each mineral with a relative content of 100% is calculated, thus calculating the gold content of the gold-bearing minerals in the sample. However, this method has a technical problem: it only analyzes the gold content of high-grade metal sulfides and focuses on the gold encapsulation state of single metal sulfides. It is not suitable for heap leaching processes, especially for the content of coarse-grained and adsorbed gold, and cannot provide relevant results, thus offering no guidance for heap leaching processes.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to develop a method that can systematically and accurately analyze the gold occurrence state in heap leaching samples, which is of great practical significance for improving gold leaching recovery rate and optimizing production process parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention provides an analytical method for the occurrence state of gold in heap leaching samples. Through a combination of processes such as multi-stage crushing, classification, leaching, roasting and gravity separation, the occurrence state of gold in ore is systematically and quantitatively analyzed, providing data support for the optimization of heap leaching process parameters.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for analyzing the gold occurrence state of heap leaching samples, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Sample preparation and gold grade calculation of the original sample: Take a representative heap leaching sample, crush it, and divide it into at least a first sample and a second sample; perform gravity separation on the first sample, and analyze the gold grade of the gravity separation concentrate and gravity separation tailings to calculate the gold grade of the original sample.

[0010] S4. Stepped chemical leaching: For samples with different particle size characteristics obtained in step S3, leaching operations of different intensities adapted to their particle size are performed, including stirred leaching, flask leaching and column leaching, to obtain leaching residue samples at each level.

[0011] S5. Calcination and secondary leaching: The leaching residue samples obtained in step S4 are calcined and then subjected to a secondary leaching operation corresponding to S4 to obtain secondary leaching residue samples.

[0013] S7. Sample preparation and gold grade determination: The reselected sample obtained in step S6 is remixed into the corresponding leaching residue samples in steps S4 and S5 in a specific ratio to form a mixed sample. The mixed sample is then subjected to reselection and grade analysis to calculate the gold grade of the mixed sample.

[0027] The formula for calculating the gold grade M1 of the original sample is: M1 = t1 × a1 + (1 - t1) × a2 g / t;

[0029] As a further improvement of the present invention, in S2, the particle size limits set by the dry sieving are 0.075-0.150mm and 13-20mm, and the sample is divided into three particle size ranges: less than or equal to 0.075-0.150mm, less than or equal to 13-20mm and greater than 0.075-0.150mm, and greater than 13-20mm, which are respectively denoted as sample B1, sample B2, and sample B3.

[0030] As a further improvement of the present invention, the specific process of step S3 is as follows:

[0031] Samples B2 and B3 were sieved using a hydrocyclone to obtain coarse particles, which were then washed with water through a 0.150 mm sieve.

[0055] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for optimizing a heap leaching process, comprising: analyzing the gold occurrence state of the ore to be treated using the above-mentioned analysis method for the gold occurrence state of heap leaching samples, obtaining the distribution ratio of coarse gold, leached gold, encapsulated gold, and adsorbed gold; and adjusting at least one process parameter of the heap leaching process according to the distribution ratio, wherein the process parameter includes crushing particle size, leaching time, gold leaching reagent dosage, calcium oxide dosage, calcium oxide pretreatment time, or whether to add a roasting pretreatment step.

[0056] Beneficial effects:

[0057] This invention provides an analytical method for the gold occurrence state in heap leaching samples. This invention constructs a "process diagnosis-quality balance" analytical system, achieving for the first time the systematic separation and precise quantification of four key gold occurrence states in the heap leaching process—coarse-grained gold, leached gold, encapsulated gold, and adsorbed gold. First, it moves from "static observation" to "dynamic diagnosis": traditional methods rely on chemical dissolution or microscopic observation, which can only provide qualitative descriptions or rough semi-quantitative analyses, failing to solve the most critical problem in the heap leaching process: "diagnosing the origin of difficult-to-leach gold." This method simulates the actual heap leaching environment, applying a series of carefully designed, progressively stronger "treatment processes" (such as step-chemical leaching and roasting dissociation) to the sample. By precisely analyzing the differences in the behavioral responses of gold under these interventions, its initial occurrence state can be deduced in reverse. Second, the "diagnostic logic" and "separation strategy": This invention employs a separation path design, such as the "calcination comparison method," which involves calcining the same difficult-to-leach sample. By comparing the significant differences in gold leaching rates before and after calcination, it successfully and accurately distinguishes between coarse gold that is difficult to leach due to its "large physical particle size" and gold that is difficult to leach due to being "encapsulated by sulfides, etc.", thus solving the long-standing problem of "misjudging the root cause of difficulty in leaching." Simultaneously, through "stepwise leaching" combined with "sample preparation and mathematical models," it effectively separates easily leached gold from firmly adsorbed gold. Third, a standardized and reproducible analytical system is constructed: To achieve the above diagnostic logic, this invention integrates multiple operational procedures such as crushing, sieving, gravity separation, stepwise leaching, calcination, and sample preparation into a complete and standardized analytical system in a specific order. The entire process strictly adheres to the principle of quality balance and ultimately transforms experimental data into precise distribution ratios through a dedicated mathematical model of gold occurrence states (W1-W4 calculation formula). Furthermore, the analytical method strictly controls sample representativeness at the outset to ensure that the analytical results have direct guiding significance for industrial production. It possesses the following technical advantages:

[0058] 1. Through multi-stage crushing, grading and leaching tests, the actual heap leaching production process is simulated, and the analysis results are more representative and instructive.

[0059] 2. Combining gravity separation, roasting and leaching, the occurrence states of coarse gold, leached gold, encapsulated gold and adsorbed gold were systematically distinguished and quantitatively analyzed.

[0060] 3. The analytical method is highly operable and low-cost, making it suitable for industrial applications and process optimization. It provides a scientific basis for improving gold recovery and optimizing reagent dosage in heap leaching processes.

[0072] To address the shortcomings of traditional heap leaching methods for analyzing the gold occurrence state in samples—namely, insufficient sample representativeness, inability to quantify and subdivide states, and disconnect from actual production—this invention provides a method for analyzing the gold occurrence state in heap leaching samples. First, a sample preparation system simulating production is constructed, employing a crushing process consistent with actual production. Gold grade is determined through reselection and controlled to within ±5.00% of the production grade, thus solving the problem of insufficient representativeness in small sample analysis. Then, a multi-stage grading and sieving process is used, combining dry sieving and hydrocyclone sieving, to precisely divide the sample into three particle size ranges. Fine particles are combined through washing, and the yield is calculated, laying the foundation for subsequent adaptable leaching. Third, a stepped leaching scheme is designed, employing stirring, rolling flask, and column leaching for samples of different particle sizes, matching the leaching behavior of different gold particle sizes in actual heap leaching and improving analytical specificity. Fourth, a roasting-secondary leaching combined process is introduced. Roasting breaks down the adsorption state, combined with carbon adsorption gold technology, to achieve effective dissociation and recovery of difficult-to-leach gold. Fifth, a precise quantitative system for gravity separation enrichment and sample calibration is established. By controlling the gravity separation yield and remixing samples according to a specific ratio, combined with a dedicated calculation formula, the accurate proportions of four occurrence states of gold—coarse-grained gold, leached gold, encapsulated gold, and adsorbed gold—can be calculated. This invention integrates physical sorting and chemical leaching technologies, ensuring both the representativeness of the analytical results and the quantitative differentiation of occurrence states, providing a scientific basis for optimizing heap leaching process parameters.

[0073] This invention provides an analytical method for the gold occurrence state in heap leaching samples. Through a combination of processes including multi-stage crushing, classification, leaching, roasting, and gravity separation, it systematically and quantitatively analyzes the gold occurrence state in the ore, providing data support for optimizing heap leaching process parameters.
