The invention discloses a method for leaching gold
hematite wrapped in second-stage calcine through using
oxalic acid. The method comprises the steps that firstly, the
oxalic acid is added into a leaching tank; the second-stage calcine and water are added into the leaching tank added with the
oxalic acid, agitation leaching is carried out, and liquid-
solid separation is carried out after the leaching process is ended so as to obtain a
leachate and leaching residues; illumination treatment is carried out on the
leachate to obtain a faint yellow precipitate and an illuminated solution; and cyaniding leaching is conducted on the leaching residues, liquid-
solid separation is conducted after the leaching process is finished, and accordingly gold-containing pregnant solution is obtained. According to the method, the oxalic acid is added, the strong complexing effect of C2O4<2-> on Fe<3+> is utilized, the
hematite in the second-stage calcine is leached in the form of an
iron oxalate complex,the iron leaching speed is high, the iron
leaching rate is high, the
energy consumption in the leaching process is low, and industrialization is easy; the
leachate is subjected to illumination treatment to obtain
ferrous oxalate, part of the oxalic acid is re-used, and recovering of iron, recycling of part of leaching agent oxalic acid and re-using of the
system water are achieved; and cyaniding is conducted on
iron removal slag for
gold extraction, and the
leaching rate of gold is effectively increased.
