Photogenerated-hole scavenger for enhancing photocatalytic chalcopyrite bioleaching

The effects of photogenerated-hole scavengers (ascorbic acid, oxalic acid, humic acid and citric acid) on chalcopyrite bioleaching in the presence of visible light were studied using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans). Four sets of bioleaching experiments were performed: (1) visible light + 0 g/L scavenger, (2) visible light + 0.1 g/L of different scavenger (ascorbic acid, oxalic acid, humic acid and citric acid), (3) dark + 0.1 g/L of different scavenger (ascorbic acid, oxalic acid, humic acid and citric acid), and (4) dark + 0 g/L scavenger (control group). The results showed that ascorbic acid and oxalic acid could act as photogenerated-hole scavengers and significantly enhance chalcopyrite bioleaching under visible light. The dissolved copper in the light group without scavenger was only 18.7% higher than that of the control group. The copper extraction rates of the light groups with oxalic acid and ascorbic acid were respectively 30.1% and 32.5% higher than those of the control group. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses indicated that ascorbic acid and oxalic acid as photogenerated-hole scavenger could capture photo-generated holes and inhibit jarosite formation on the chalcopyrite surface, thereby enhancing bioleaching of chalcopyrite under visible light.

Process development for the separation of tetrahedrite from chalcopyrite in the Neves-Corvo ore of Somincor S.A., Portugal

In the Somincor Neves Corvo ore, antimony occurs in the tetrahedrite-tennantite series of minerals while copper occurs in chalcopyrite and in other minerals present in minor quantities including the tetrahedrite-tennantite series. Current processing strategies do not directly address the control of antimony contamination of the final copper concentrate. The focus of this paper is to report initial findings of a major investigation undertaken on both a plant and laboratory scale.It was found that both collector type and concentration significantly affected copper/antimony selectivity. In particular, staged addition of dithiophosphate collector was required to control tetrahedrite flotation during copper roughing. However, size by size analysis showed that tetrahedrite flotation increased during scavenging due to further collector addition which was required to recover coarser chalcopyrite bearing particles. The production of separate rougher and scavenger concentrates enriched in chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite respectively, became an attractive option.It was found that oxidative treatment was required to adequately control tetrahedrite flotation. This treatment was applied to a final, low volume concentrate stream containing large quantities of tetrahedrite.In order to further enhance selectivity, fundamental work is aimed at establishing the relative ease of oxidation of chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite as well as the influence of oxidation: on the stability of the adsorbed hydrophobic species. A fiowsheet embracing these various concepts is proposed.

永平低品位黄铜矿矿石细菌浸出的银离子催化效应

为了提高用氧化亚铁硫杆菌和氧化硫硫杆菌混合菌对永平铜矿低品位黄铜矿矿石细菌浸出的效果,通过摇瓶实验,研究了银离子的催化效应。研究表明,在细菌浸出的初始阶段,添加银离子可以大大加快铜的浸出速度和提高铜的浸出率,其中添加初始银离子浓度10 mg/L时,最有利于铜的浸出,在600 h时内铜的浸出率可以从20%增加到65%,比不添加银离子时提高了45%。添加初始银离子使矿石中铁的浸出和溶液中二价铁的细菌氧化明显受到抑制。当有银离子时,低品位黄铜矿矿石在低氧化还原电位下比高氧化还原电位更有利于铜的浸出。     

Influence of sodium thiosulphate on oxidation of sulphide minerals during selective flotation of copper-nickel ores

The studies of sulphur distribution in oxidation products of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite being components of Cu-Ni ores showed that the elementary sulphur — sulphoxide ion ratio on the mineral surface and in the liquid phase of mineral suspensions changes in the presence of sodium thiosulphate. Sodium thiosulphate exhibits properties of a reducing agent and prevents formation of hydrophobic elementary sulphur on pyrrhotite surface due to oxygen absorption and oxidation of thiosulphate-ions to sulphates. The decrease in pyrrhotite floatability is observed, and more favorable conditions are provided for selective flotation of chalcopyrite on copper-nickel ore processing. __________ Translated from Fiziko-Tekhnicheskie Problemy Razrabotki Poleznykh Iskopaemykh, No. 4, pp. 89–94, July–August, 2006.     

硫化矿物硫化钠诱导浮选的电化学研究

本文研究了黄铜矿，黄铁矿的硫化钠诱导浮选行为。浮选实验，电化学研究表明，黄铜矿表现出较差的硫化钠诱导浮选行为，而黄铁矿则很好。硫化钠诱导浮选机理是由于ＨＳ－离子在矿物表面氧化产生疏水性的元素Ｓ０所致；硫化矿表面静电位的高低决定了ＨＳ－氧化成Ｓ０的可能性，黄铁矿表面静电位Ｅｍｓ高于ＨＳ－氧化成Ｓ０的电极电位，因而黄铁矿表现出良好的硫化钠诱导浮选特性；黄铜矿表面静电位低于这一电极电位，因而硫化钠诱导浮选性较差。
