Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of secondary recycling technology of precious metal materials, specifically relating to a system for recovering valuable components from complex gold extraction charcoal roasting slag with high copper and iron content. Background Technology
[0002] In gold ore recovery, the carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process is widely used due to its highly efficient gold and silver adsorption capacity. However, during long-term operation, the activated carbon in the CIP continuously wears down, producing carbon fragments that are enriched with large amounts of precious metals such as gold and silver. Currently, companies typically collect these carbon fragments, roast and ashed them, and then return them to the original process for secondary gold and silver recovery. However, during the roasting and ashing process, on the one hand, some activated carbon is difficult to burn completely; on the other hand, gold ore resources often contain high levels of harmful elements such as copper and iron, which are enriched in the carbon fragments, making the return of the roasted and ashed material to the original process technically challenging. Currently, most gold-bearing materials are mainly stored, failing to recover valuable components in a timely and effective manner, leading to inventory backlog and capital tied up, seriously affecting the economic benefits of enterprises.
[0003] In the secondary recovery of gold and silver from scrap materials, there are currently two main technical routes: pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. While pyrometallurgical smelting has advantages such as mature processes, fast reaction speeds, and high gold and silver recovery efficiency, and is widely used in the processing of high-grade gold concentrates, gold-bearing materials, and enriched intermediate products, it faces several technical challenges when processing high-grade gold and silver materials containing high levels of impurities such as copper and iron. Copper forms low-melting-point alloys with gold and silver, interfering with the separation of precious metals and increasing flux usage; iron increases slag viscosity, making the molten system unstable and increasing the loss rate of gold and silver inclusions, severely impacting recovery efficiency. Furthermore, the pyrometallurgical process has strict requirements for raw material particle size, reducing agent ratios, and smelting atmosphere, resulting in poor adaptability. Especially for materials with high silver content, silver is easily lost in the form of volatiles or dust, leading to low recovery rates and significant resource waste. Simultaneously, pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, heavy metal dust, and nitrogen oxides generated during the smelting process require costly environmental protection facilities, increasing the operational burden and hindering the achievement of green metallurgy and carbon reduction goals.
[0004] While existing conventional wet gold and silver recovery processes are simple to operate and have low energy consumption, they suffer from low gold and silver recovery rates and poor adaptability when processing complex gold extraction slag from high-copper and high-iron charcoal roasting and ashing. On the one hand, residual powdered carbon in the ashing slag can re-adsorb leached gold and silver; on the other hand, high copper content during cyanide leaching not only increases cyanide consumption but also generates cuprous cyanide precipitate, which covers the gold and silver surfaces and hinders leaching. Furthermore, activated carbon has a relatively weak adsorption capacity for silver, and directly using carbon leaching in high-gold and silver materials can easily lead to significant silver loss.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple and adaptable recycling system to recover valuable components from the complex gold extraction charcoal roasting and ashing slag of high copper and iron, in order to reduce production costs, improve the overall recovery rate, promote the effective comprehensive utilization of resources, alleviate the inventory pressure of enterprises, and increase the technical and economic benefits of enterprises. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides a system for recovering valuable components from complex gold-extraction charcoal roasting slag with high copper and iron content. Through reasonable equipment matching and connection, it achieves efficient and comprehensive recovery of valuable components such as gold, silver and copper.
[0007] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0008] A system for recovering valuable components from complex high-copper-iron gold-extraction charcoal roasting slag includes a ball mill. The outlet of the ball mill is connected to the inlet of a hydrocyclone via a slurry pump. The sedimentation port of the hydrocyclone is connected to the inlet of the ball mill. The overflow port of the hydrocyclone is connected to the inlet of a flotation system. The concentrate port of the flotation system is connected to a roasting and ashing system. The tailings port of the flotation system and the slag outlet of the roasting and ashing system are both connected to a copper leaching tank. The copper leaching tank is connected to a copper recovery system and a cyanide leaching tank via a No. 1 filter. The outlet of the No. 1 cyanide leaching tank is sequentially connected to a No. 2 filter, a No. 2 cyanide leaching tank, and a No. 3 filter.
[0009] Furthermore, preferably, the filtrate outlet of the No. 1 filter is connected to the copper recovery system, and the filter residue outlet is connected to the No. 1 cyanide leaching tank.
[0010] Furthermore, preferably, the filter residue inlet of the No. 2 filter is connected to the No. 2 cyanide leaching tank.
[0011] Furthermore, preferably, the distillate from the copper recovery system is returned to the copper leaching tank via a pipeline.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention achieves efficient and comprehensive recovery of gold, silver, and copper from complex gold-extraction charcoal roasting slag containing high copper and iron content through a clever combination of equipment such as a grinding and classification closed-circuit system, a flotation system, a copper leaching tank, a two-stage cyanide leaching system, and a copper recovery system. The system is simple in equipment, has a short process flow, low energy consumption, is environmentally friendly, and highly adaptable. It is not only suitable for processing complex gold-extraction charcoal roasting slag containing high copper and iron content, but can also be applied to the processing of other gold-containing materials with high gold and silver grades and impurities. This solves the problem of capital tied up in inventory for enterprises, improving their economic and social benefits. Specific beneficial effects are as follows:
[0013] (1) This utility model can not only significantly improve the recovery rate of gold and silver, but also take into account the efficient recovery of copper. The test results show that the gold recovery rate can reach about 95%, the silver recovery rate can reach about 84%, and the copper recovery rate can reach about 95%. Compared with the traditional direct cyanide leaching process, the gold recovery rate is increased by about 55% and the silver recovery rate is increased by about 38%.
[0014] (2) This invention sets up a flotation system before the roasting and ashing system, which can pre-flot the activated carbon that has not been fully ashed, and then perform secondary roasting on it, effectively avoiding the problem of secondary sintering caused by the direct roasting of all the crushed carbon slag in the traditional process. In addition, the fine activated carbon particles can also be pre-flotted at the same time, which can prevent them from being directly mixed into the cyanidation process and reverse adsorbing gold and silver in the solution, resulting in a significant decrease in the gold and silver recovery rate.
[0015] (4) This utility model uses a two-stage cyanide leaching system and appropriate concentrations of cyanide and oxidant to quickly leach exposed free gold and some easily leached silver under low cyanide concentration conditions. Then, with the addition of cyanide and oxidant, it can deeply dissolve gold and silver with more complex structures or tighter encapsulation, solving the problem of low silver recovery rate, effectively improving the overall gold and silver recovery rate, and reducing the interference of residual impurities by changing the solution, avoiding waste of cyanide and changes in the gold and silver complexation balance.
[0016] (5) This utility model reduces equipment investment and energy consumption by optimizing the process system, while improving resource recovery rate and reducing production costs. In addition, the recycling of ammonia water through the distillate circulation design further reduces the consumption of chemical reagents in the production process. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The specific working principle of the above system for recovering low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ores is as follows:
[0027] (1) Grinding and classification: The material to be processed is fed to ball mill 1 for fine grinding. After fine grinding until the material has a particle size of -0.074mm of 70% to 80%, it is fed to hydrocyclone 3 for classification by slurry pump 2.
[0028] (2) Flotation decarbonization: The material classified in step (1) is transported to the flotation system 4, starch is added and stirred evenly, and then kerosene or light diesel oil is added for roughing to obtain carbon-containing concentrate and tailings. The carbon-containing concentrate is returned to the roasting and ashing system 5 for roasting again to obtain concentrate roasting residue.
[0029] (3) Selective leaching of copper: The tailings and concentrate roasting residue from step (2) are sent into the copper leaching tank 6, and ammonia-chlorine solution is added for pre-leaching.

[0030] (4) First-stage preferential leaching: After the leaching residue from step (3) enters the 1# cyanide leaching tank 9, sodium cyanide is added for first-stage preferential leaching. After the leaching operation is completed, it is filtered by the 2# filter machine 10 to obtain gold and silver precious liquid and first-stage leaching residue. The first-stage leaching residue is then transferred to the 2# cyanide leaching tank 11.
[0031] (5) Second-stage enhanced leaching: After the first-stage leaching residue from step (4) enters the No. 2 cyanide leaching tank 11, sodium cyanide is added for second-stage enhanced leaching. After the leaching operation is completed, the gold and silver precious liquid and the second-stage leaching residue are obtained by filtration through the No. 3 filter machine 12.
[0032] (6) Recovery of elemental copper: The copper-containing leaching solution from step (3) is distilled after entering the copper recovery system 8. The copper in the leaching solution is precipitated as copper hydroxide, and the ammonia water produced by distillation is returned to the copper leaching tank 6 for recycling through pipeline.
