The invention provides a clean
gold leaching agent
system for treating gold-bearing minerals and a
gold leaching process, and belongs to the technical field of
hydrometallurgy. According to the clean
gold leaching agent
system for treating the gold-bearing minerals, on the basis that
thiosulfate serves as a gold leaching agent main body and
metal cupric salt serves as a catalyst, a leaching auxiliary agent replacing
ammonia, amine and
ammonium is designed. In the gold leaching process, the leaching auxiliary agent and bivalent
copper ions are subjected to
chelation reaction at first, a
copper-
chelation product has moderate dissolving performance under the alkaline condition, the
gain catalysis effect on gold leaching of
thiosulfate is achieved, meanwhile, overflow of
ammonia gas is avoided, and the leaching efficiency is improved. Clean extraction of gold in the gold-bearing minerals by the
thiosulfate leaching
system is achieved, a series of problems that in the prior art, the gold leaching effect is poor,
ammonia gas overflows in the gold leaching process and the like due to the fact that
copper ions of a copper
ammonium system are converted into precipitates are solved, and a potential alternative scheme is provided for the field of
hydrometallurgy of gold ores in the gold industry.
