The invention discloses a leaching method for enhanced
catalysis of
bound copper ore, and relates to the technical field of
copper ore leaching, the method comprises the following steps: carrying out wet ball milling on
bound copper ore to 200 meshes, and adjusting the ore pulp concentration to 40%; under the stirring state, 10m < 3 > / h
oxygen-enriched air is introduced through a Roots blower, a
biomass particle steam generator is adopted for heating to 70 DEG C, and
citric acid with the
mass being 3% of the
mass of the ore is added for enhanced catalytic pretreatment for 1.5 hours; then adding a
sulfuric acid leaching agent with the concentration of 10%, and leaching for 3.5 hours, wherein the total
process time is 5 hours; and after filter pressing separation, leaching liquid is replaced with
iron powder with the purity being larger than or equal to 98% to generate spongy
copper with the grade being larger than or equal to 85%, and after
tailings are discharged in a dry mode,
lime is added to adjust the pH to 7 for
brick making. According to the method, through the synergistic effect of fine
grinding,
organic acid catalysis and
oxygen-enriched heating, efficient
dissolution of iron and
manganese inclusion and
copper mineral
monomer dissociation are achieved, the
copper leaching recovery rate is increased to 95% or above, the process is mild, reagents are cheap, operation is easy,
tailings can be recycled, economical efficiency and environment friendliness are both considered, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial application.
