The stirring module 7 is provided to replace manual stirring, which reduces the safety hazard of the operator when the reaction occurs, saves labor costs, and makes the device more automated.

[0039] The working principle of the gold purification device described in the utility model is as follows:

[0040] Before operation, the reactor is sealed, a certain amount of gold-containing solid is added through the solid feeding channel 4 of the reactor cover 2, and then hydrochloric acid and nitric acid with a volume ratio of 3:1 are added into the reactor through the first liquid inlet channel 31 and the second liquid inlet channel 32, so that the gold-containing solid is completely immersed in the liquid. The stirring module 7 is started, and the reaction rate is increased by rotating the stirring blade 71. The reaction in the reactor is observed through the reactor wall. If the reaction is not complete, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid with a volume ratio of 3:1 are added in small amounts and multiple times through the first liquid inlet channel 31 and the second liquid inlet channel 32 until the solid is completely dissolved and the reaction is complete; the nitrogen oxide gas generated in the process is discharged after being treated by the exhaust module.

[0041] The reducing agent sodium sulfite is added through the third liquid inlet channel 33 for the reduction of chloroauric acid, and the generated gold particles will be deposited on the tray 6 coated with the PTFE membrane; since the solution can quickly pass through the PTFE membrane, the tray 6 is driven to move above the liquid surface to achieve solid-liquid separation. After the gold particles are transferred, the tray 6 is moved into the solution for secondary reduction, and the above steps are repeated. Finally, the solution is transferred to an external container through the drain valve and reused after treatment.

[0042] The gold purification device is efficient, environmentally friendly and occupies a small area; high-purity gold extraction can be achieved by optimizing the structure of the equipment and controlling reaction parameters; the gold purification device integrating feeding, reaction and post-processing has broad application prospects in gold mining and the gold field.

For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
