Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mineral processing technology, and specifically relates to a method and apparatus for enhanced separation of carbon- and arsenic-containing fine-grained gold ore with segmented and precise control. Background Technology
[0002] As easily processed, high-grade gold resources are gradually depleted, the proportion of difficult-to-process gold ores with complex structures, low grades, fine-grained intercalation, high content of impurity metal elements, high arsenic, high sulfur, and organic carbon content is gradually increasing, and they have become the main raw materials for gold production.
[0003] Patent CN1932052A discloses an integrated kiln-type oxidative roasting process for gold extraction from refractory gold ores. It proposes that the roasting and cyanide extraction processes of refractory gold ores are completed within the same tunnel kiln, offering advantages such as low investment, simple equipment, and a short process flow. However, this method involves static roasting and requires the addition of carbon powder, coke powder, or coal powder as combustion aids, which easily leads to sintering and affects the leaching effect.
[0004] Patent CN104498705A discloses a pretreatment method for complex and difficult-to-process gold ore. This method has the advantages of high removal rates of sulfur, arsenic and carbon, high recovery rate of valuable metals, low cost and simple operation. However, the product quality is uneven and the roasting temperature needs to be controlled by a fuel gun and an emergency water spray cooling device set in the roasting furnace. The process is complicated.
[0005] Patent CN118497512A discloses a method for biological oxidation-suspension roasting-cyanide leaching of refractory gold ore. This method uses dual pretreatment of biological oxidation and suspension roasting plus mechanical activation to effectively shorten the leaching cycle and improve the gold leaching rate. However, the process is complex and the energy consumption per unit of processing is high.
[0006] In refractory gold ores containing carbonaceous and arsenic particles, gold is finely embedded and often closely associated with sulfide, carbonate, and silicate minerals, resulting in low gold leaching rates from direct leaching. Physical or chemical methods are commonly used to break the gold encapsulation by gangue minerals in the ore, enhancing the interaction between subsequent leaching agents and gold, while simultaneously reducing the influence of carbonaceous, sulfide, and carbonate minerals in the ore on the leaching process to improve the gold leaching rate.
[0007] The ore targeted by this invention contains elements such as arsenic, sulfur, and carbon, and is a typical refractory gold ore. Pretreatment can effectively open the mineral's encapsulation of gold and weaken the negative effects of harmful elements, which is an effective way to achieve efficient utilization of refractory gold ore. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the problems existing in current recalcitrant gold ore beneficiation technologies containing carbon and arsenic fine particles, this invention provides a device and method for enhanced beneficiation of carbon and arsenic fine-particle gold ore through segmented and precise control. This invention can precisely control the desulfurization and decarbonization of carbon and arsenic fine-particle gold ore under suitable conditions, achieving high mass and heat transfer efficiency, high removal rate of arsenic and carbon impurities, low energy consumption and cost per unit processing volume, easily controllable and stable product properties, and easy scaling up of equipment.
[0009] A method for enhanced sorting of fine-grained carbonaceous and arsenic-containing gold ores with segmented and precise control is carried out according to the following steps:
[0010] (1) The carbon- and arsenic-containing fine-grained gold ore is crushed and ground, and after drying, powder ore with a particle size of -0.074 mm accounting for 80%~90% of the total mass is obtained and placed in the feed hopper;
[0011] (2) Fill the oxidation chamber of the suspension roaster to a certain height to prevent the material from escaping from the inlet. Start the heating system, gas supply system, feeding system and detection system. Under the action of gas, the ore powder passes through the pre-oxidation loosening chamber and pre-oxidation fluidization chamber of the suspension roaster in a suspended state for oxidation and arsenic removal, to obtain oxidized and arsenic-removed roasted sand. Detect the SO2 generated during the oxidation and arsenic removal process using a flue gas analyzer, and adjust the gas flow and heating temperature of the corresponding pre-oxidation loosening chamber and pre-oxidation fluidization chamber to ensure that As in the ore powder is converted into gaseous compounds. The reaction formula on which the complete reaction is based is:
[0012] As2(g)+O2(g)=AsO(g) (1);
[0013] FeAsS+2.5FeS2+O2=3.5FeS+0.5As2S3(g)+SO2(g) (2);
[0014] FeAsS+2FeS2+O2=3FeS+0.25As4S4(g)+SO2(g) (3);

[0022] (5) The pretreated gold ore products are fed into the grinding and leaching system for grinding-cyanide leaching. After leaching, the material is filtered to obtain gold-containing precious solution.
[0023] In the above method, the Au content in the carbon- and arsenic-containing fine-grained gold ore is 2.8 g / t to 6.4 g / t, the mass percentage of C is 3% to 10%, and the mass percentage of As is 0.2% to 0.8%.
[0024] In the above method, the heating temperature in step (2) is 500℃~600℃, the heating time is 10min~20min, the gas introduced is air, and the gas volume is 3m³. 3 / h~5m 3 / h.

[0026] In the above method, the C content in the pretreated gold ore product is <0.8%, and the As removal rate is >85%.
[0027] In the above method, the grinding concentration in step (5) is 40%~65%, the grinding fineness is -0.074mm>85%, the amount of sodium cyanide is 0.8kg / t~10kg / t, the cyanide leaching time is 20h~30h, and the leaching rate of Au in the precious metal solution is >90%.
[0028] The above method employs a segmented and precisely controlled device for enhanced separation of carbon- and arsenic-containing fine-grained gold ore, comprising a feeding system, a heating system, a suspension roasting furnace, a gas supply system, a detection system, and a grinding and leaching system, wherein the feeding system, the suspension roasting furnace, and the grinding and leaching system are connected in sequence.
[0029] Furthermore, the interior of the suspension roasting furnace is equipped with an air distribution plate, with an oxidation chamber at the upper end and a gas chamber at the lower end. The oxidation chamber is divided into four independent reaction chambers by three baffles, allowing the gas to flow vertically and horizontally guided by the baffles. From right to left, these chambers are: a pre-oxidation loosening chamber, a pre-oxidation fluidization chamber, an oxidation loosening chamber, and an oxidation fluidization chamber. The gas chamber is divided into four independent gas chambers by three baffles, corresponding to the positions of the four independent reaction chambers.
[0030] Furthermore, the feeding system includes a feeding bin and a screw feeder, the outlet of the feeding bin is connected to the inlet of the screw feeder, and the outlet of the screw feeder is connected to the upper end of the oxidation chamber in the suspension roasting furnace.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0036] This invention transforms mineral powder from a stockpiled state to a loose state in a pre-oxidation and loosening chamber. Under the atmosphere of 500℃~600℃ in the pre-oxidation chamber, As in the powder is converted into gaseous compounds. The SO2 content is detected by a flue gas analyzer to determine whether the As in the powder has been completely removed. The roasted sand after arsenic removal enters the oxidation chamber and undergoes decarburization under an oxidizing atmosphere of 600℃~750℃. At this time, the carbon in the powder is converted into CO2. The CO2 content is detected by a flue gas analyzer to determine whether the carbon in the powder has been completely removed. Ultimately, precise control of arsenic and carbon removal is achieved. At the same time, the removal of arsenic and carbon will form pores or cracks, reducing grinding energy consumption and facilitating gold leaching, thereby achieving the purpose of enhanced separation.
