Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a smelting system, which is mainly used for treating arsenic-containing and carbon-containing cyanide tailings and secondarily recovering gold in the cyanide tailings. Background Art

[0002] With the large-scale mining of gold mines, easy-to-process gold resources are becoming increasingly exhausted, and difficult-to-process gold mines will become the main resources of the gold industry in the future. Among the proven gold reserves in my country, 30% are difficult-to-process gold mines, among which arsenic-containing and carbon-containing gold mines are the most difficult to process and have become an important resource for my country's future gold development and utilization.

[0003] The difficulty in treating arsenic-containing and carbon-containing gold ores lies in the close coexistence of gold minerals with arsenic-containing minerals (mainly arsenopyrite) and pyrite. Gold is distributed in fine particles, or is wrapped in arsenopyrite and pyrite, or exists between their individual crystals. Due to the use of conventional cyanidation gold extraction process, the gold leaching rate is low. In addition, during cyanidation leaching of gold, the carbon-containing matrix can adsorb gold complexes, resulting in a "gold robbing" effect, resulting in the gold grade of the cyanide tailings of this type of gold concentrate being generally above 5g / t, and some are even as high as about 10g / t, which still has great recovery value.

[0004] Although the gold grade in the arsenic- and carbon-containing cyanide tailings is relatively high, the gold is basically in a completely wrapped state. Conventional cyanide leaching can no longer recover this part of gold. Considering production costs and other reasons, this part of the cyanide tailings is usually directly discharged into the tailings pond for storage, which not only causes waste of resources but also causes environmental pollution problems.

The slag after roasting and oxidation pretreatment of arsenic-containing and carbon-containing cyanidation tailings is loose and porous, and the encapsulated gold minerals can be partially dissociated and exposed, and part of the gold can be recovered by cyanidation leaching. Under the current high gold price conditions, the system using the combined technical measures of the utility model can recover gold from the secondary treatment of this type of cyanidation tailings, with huge potential economic and social benefits.
