  • 摘要: 针对某石英脉型金矿采用硫代硫酸盐浸出−吸附过程中硫代硫酸钠消耗量大和浸出液中铜离子与金离子在树脂上竞争吸附导致金选择性吸附困难的问题,创新性地提出在浸出过程添加药剂来控制硫代硫酸钠的氧化分解,并以吸附能力和吸附选择性为依据筛选适宜的吸附树脂;在查明原矿工艺矿物学的基础上,系统地研究了羧甲基纤维素钠、腐植酸钠和氯化钠添加剂作用下金的浸出行为,以及不同种类离子交换树脂对浸出液中金和铜吸附和实际金矿浸出和吸附的影响。结果表明:在氨水、硫酸铵、硫代硫酸钠、硫酸铜和腐植酸钠添加量分别为217.60、105.71、202.38、12.77和0.24 kg/t,浸出温度为35 ℃和时间为8 h的最佳浸出条件下,金的浸出率达到了95.87%,同时硫代硫酸钠的消耗量较未添加腐植酸钠浸出时降低了21.77%;确定适宜的添加剂和吸附树脂分别为腐植酸钠和711树脂,711树脂的饱和载金量为8.47 kg/t,金和铜的选择性吸附系数达到了127.56;在腐植酸钠添加量为0.24 kg/t、711树脂用量为30 g/L和吸附时间2 h的最佳条件下,采用边浸−边吸附工艺浸出金矿,浸出渣金品位为0.12 g/t,金的浸出率为94.50%,金和铜的吸附率分别为94.76%和20.47%,硫代硫酸钠的消耗量仅为30.04 kg/t,实现了矿石中金的高效浸出和选择性吸附回收。

     

    Abstract: To address the issues of high sodium thiosulfate consumption and the competitive adsorption of Au+ and Cu2+ on resin leading to difficulty in selective gold adsorption during the thiosulfate leaching−adsorption process of a quartz vein−type gold ore, this study innovatively proposed adding chemical agents to control the oxidative decomposition of sodium thiosulfate during leaching and screening suitable adsorption resins based on their adsorption capacity and selectivity. On the basis of the mineralogical characteristics of the gold ore, the leaching behavior of gold in the presence of additives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium humate, and sodium chloride was systematically investigated. The study also examined the adsorption of gold and copper from the leachate by different types of ion−exchange resins and their impact on the actual ore leaching and adsorption process. The results indicate that under optimal leaching conditions, ammonia, ammonium sulfate, sodium thiosulfate, copper sulfate, and sodium humate additions of 217.60, 105.71, 202.38, 12.77, and 0.24 kg/t, respectively, with a leaching temperature of 35 °C and a duration of 8 h, the gold leaching rate reaches 95.87%, while sodium thiosulfate consumption decreases by 21.77% compared to the case without additives. Sodium humate and 711 resin are identified as the optimal additive and adsorption resin, respectively. The 711 resin exhibits a saturated gold loading capacity of 8.47 kg/t, with a gold−to−copper selectivity coefficient reaching 127.56. Under optimal adsorption conditions of a sodium humate addition of 0.24 kg/t, a resin 711 dosage of 30 g/L, and an adsorption time of 2 h, the simultaneous leaching−adsorption process applied to the gold ore resulted in a gold grade of 0.12 g/t in the leaching residue, a gold leaching rate of 94.50%, and adsorption rates of 94.76% for gold and 20.47% for copper, with sodium thiosulfate consumption reduces to only 30.04 kg/t. Thus, successfully achieved the efficient leaching and selective adsorption recovery of gold from the ore.
