硫化锌精矿常压富氧直接浸出行为

借助工艺矿物学分析对常压富氧直接浸出条件下锌精矿中主要硫化物的浸出行为进行研究。结果表明,除黄铁矿外,其他硫化矿均会明显溶解。基于对浸出渣中单质硫与反应残余硫化物之间关系的分析,认为闪锌矿、黄铜矿、铜蓝、方铅矿的溶出可能遵循间接氧化方式,即硫化物首先酸溶,生成的H2S脱离矿物表面并迁移至溶液本体中进而氧化成单质硫。上述硫化矿的浸出过程可能受界面化学反应控制。对于磁黄铁矿的溶出,直接电化学氧化可能起主导作用,其浸出过程可能受产物层单质硫的扩散控制。

Bio-oxidation of arsenopyrite

Oxidation of arsenopyrite with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was studied. The electrochemical results show that arsenopyrite is firstly oxidized to As2S2 at the potential of 0.2-0.3 V （vs SHE） and As2S2 covers the electrode and retards the process continuously. While at higher potential over 0.3 V （vs SHE）, AszS2 is oxidized to H3AsO3, and H3AsO3 is then oxidized to H3AsO4 at 0.8 V （vs SHE）. The leaching results show that the addition of FeS2 can promote the oxidation of As^3＋ to As^5＋ and increase the activity of the bacteria. The best bio-oxidation technical parameters are the initial pH of 1.8-2.0, particle sizes less than 0.074 mm, temperature in the range of 25-30℃ and rotating speed of the orbital incubator of 100-160 r/min. The results provide theoretical and technological supports of bio-oxidation arsenopyrite for pretreating refractory arsenic gold ores.     

高砷难处理硫精矿氰化浸出提银实验研究

某硫精矿中的银矿物嵌布粒度非常细小,包裹于硫化物中的银约占50.46%,属于难处理高砷含银硫精矿。采用细磨后化学预处理氰化浸出,银浸出率仍然低于80%;硫精矿经氧化焙烧后,As、S的脱除率都达到90%以上,但银浸出率却较低;对该含银硫精矿添加钠盐焙烧预处理,再采用常规氰化法浸出,银浸出率显著提高,达到85.15%,同时氰化钠耗量降低至2.0 kg/t。     

Alkaline sulfide pretreatment of an antimonial refractory Au-Ag ore for improved cyanidation

This paper presents the alkaline sulfide pretreatment of an antimonial refractory gold and silver ore. In the ore, gold occurs mainly as gold-silver alloys and as associated with quartz and framboidal pyrite grains, and, to a small extent, as the inclusions within antimonial sulfides. Silver is present extensively as antimonial sulfides such as andorite. Alkaline sulfide pretreatment was shown to allow the decomposition of the antimonial sulfide minerals (up to 98% Sb removal) and to remarkably improve the amenability of gold (e.g., from <49% up to 83%) and silver (e.g., from <18% up to 90%) to subsequent cyanide leaching. An increase in reagent concentration (1–4 mol/L Na₂S or NaOH) and temperature (20–80°C), and a decrease in particle size seem to produce an enhancing effect on metal extraction. These findings suggest that alkaline sulfide leaching can be suitably used as a chemical pretreatment method prior to the conventional cyanidation for antimonial refractory gold and silver ores.     

重金属强化含金矿石的氰化浸出

通过分析铊、铋、汞和铅等重金属强化金氰化溶解的电化学原理,对含金氧化物矿石和难浸硫化物金精矿进行了重金属强化浸金研究.结果表明:重金属对金氰化溶解的阳极过程有显著的强化作用,但在常规供氧条件下,金的溶解速率并未显著提高;只有同时采用阴极强化措施,才能使重金属起到显著提高金溶解速率的作用;对于含金氧化物矿石,单独采用重金属强化即可明显提高浸金速率,如果在过氧化氢助浸的基础上添加重金属,金的浸出速率会有更大幅度的提高;对硫化物金精矿而言,单独采用重金属无明显强化效果,只有在添加过氧化氢作为辅助氧化剂的基础上,重金属对金的浸出才能起到强化的作用,该体系中过氧化氢起到了强化阴极过程和氧化硫化物的双重作用.

碳质金矿的碳质物及生物氧化预处理研究现状

Effect of temperature,oxygen partial pressure and calcium lignosulphonate on chalcopyrite dissolution in sulfuric acid solution

The pressure leaching mechanism of chalcopyrite was studied by both leaching tests and in-situ electrochemical measurements. The effects of leaching temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and calcium lignosulphonate, on copper extraction and iron extraction of chalcopyrite pressure leaching were investigated. The leaching rate is accelerated by increasing the leaching temperature from 120 to 150 °C and increasing oxygen partial pressure to 0.7 MPa. The release of iron is faster than that of copper due to the formation of iron-depleted sulfides. Under the optimal leaching conditions without calcium lignosulphonate, the copper and iron extraction rates are 79% and 81%, respectively. The leaching process is mixedly controlled by surface reaction and product layer diffusion with an activation energy of 36.61 kJ/mol. Calcium lignosulphonate can effectively remove the sulfur passive layer, and the activation energy is 45.59 kJ/mol, suggesting that the leaching process with calcium lignosulphonate is controlled by surface chemical reactions. Elemental sulfur is the main leaching product, which is mixed with iron-depleted sulfides and leads to the passivation of chalcopyrite. Electrochemical studies suggest that increasing the oxygen partial pressure leads to increasing the cathodic reaction rate and weakening the passivation of chalcopyrite.     

Electro-generative mechanism for simultaneous leaching of pyrite and MnO2 in presence of A. ferrooxidans

A dual cell system was used to study the output power, output voltage, galvanic polarization of anode and cathode, and the relationship between the electric quantity（Q） and some factors, such as the dissolved Fe2＋ magnitude, the time in the electro- generative simultaneous leaching with bacteria（BEGSL） and without bacteria（EGSL）. A three-electrode system was adopted to study their individual self-corrosion current, which was smaller compared with the galvanic current. The results show that the output power and voltage in BEGSL are higher than those in EGSL. The accumulated sulfur on the surface of sulfides produced in BEGSL can be oxidized by A. ferrooxidans, and the ratio of biologic electric quantity reaches 51.50% in 72 h. The first stage both in EGSL and in BEGSL is the dissolution of pyrite on the surface to ferrous ion and sulfur element, which was oxidized by A. ferrooxidans in the further procedure.     

A study of the mechanism of internal sulfidation-internal oxidation during hot corrosion of Ni-base alloys

The hot corrosion of wrought Ni-16Cr-2Nb was studied at temperatures of 910–1020°C using an autoradiography technique. The autoradiographic pictures of the deposits of Na₂SO₄ enriched with³⁵Sshow that sulfur diffuses along the grain boundaries of the alloy preferentially, where it forms metallic sulfides. The sulfides are then oxidized; sulfur atoms are released, forming new sulfides at the grain boundaries or dissolving in grains and migrating inward by volume diffusion. These results provide new evidence for the sulfidationoxidation mechanism of hot corrosion.

Investigation of the tarnish on the surface of a panda gold coin

In natural environment, tarnish was observed on the surface of historic and contemporary gold coins in several countries. Few years after the emergence of panda gold coins, several red spots were appeared on the surface. To identify the stains and to examine the spots, optical microscope （OM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, electron microprobe analysis （EMPA）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, and X-ray diffraction （XRD） were used. It was found by microscopic observation that the stain has a dark blue central area surrounded by a large area with a nuance of colors from brown to red. Red spots usually contain holes in the center, which are distributed along the forging stress zones formed in the struck process. From the surface analyses using EMPA, sulfur and silver are detected besides gold, and the contents of Ag and S at the tarnish part are higher than those at the other part. Furthermore, distributions of Ag and S are correlated with the morphology of stains. XPS shows that components of stains are Ag2S and Ag2SO4 and the former is much predominant. These results are confirmed using XRD analysis. Accelerated tarnish test of gold in an atmosphere containing sulfur compound proves that the similar phenomenon appears when a small amount of silver is present on the surface of gold. It can be concluded that the occurrence of tarnish stains is caused by the presence of Ag and S.     

A new extraction process of carbonaceous refractory gold concentrate

A new hydrometallurgical process for a carbonaceous refractory gold concentrate at ambient temperature and pressure was presented, including grinding-leaching, intensified alkaline leaching（IAL）, thiosulfate leaching and cementation by zinc powder. The experimental results show that the grinding-leaching and intensified alkaline leaching process result in the selective oxidation of arsenopyrite and pyrite. The oxidation ratio of As is 96.6%, and 46.7 % for S. The total consumption of NaOH in alkaline leaching is only 28 % of that theoretically calculated under the conditions of full oxidization for the same amount of arsenopyrite and pyrite transforming into arsenates and sulfates, and 83.6% of gold is synchro-dissoluted by thiosulfate self-generated during pretreatment. Since the carbonaceous matter in concentrate possesses a strong capability of preg robbing, the cyanidation process is not suitable for the extraction of gold after pretreatment. However, the gold leaching rate by thiosulfate leaching for 24 h is increased to 91.7% from 0 - 3.2% by ultra-fine grinding without the pretreatment. The recovery of gold by zinc cementation gets to 99.6%. Due to the thiosulfate self-generated during alkaline leaching, the reagent addition in thiosulfate leaching afterwards is lower than the normal one.

The sulfide ore looping oxidation process: An alternative to current roasting and smelting practice

This novel method utilizes the reactions of metal sulfides and metal oxides. It is applicable to single-metal systems such as Mo, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, and Zn individual sulfides and to mixed sulfides such as chalcopyrite and Mo/Fe. In addition to primary ores, waste stream products such as spent catalysts can be effectively processed. The benchmark work done on MoS₂/MoO₃ resulted in an MoO₂ product with less than 0.095 wt.% sulfur. Other sulfide concentrate materials showed similar results. In the first stage of the looping process, a highly concentrated SO₂ off-gas stream is produced that could be directed to an acid plant or converted to liquid. The products from the first process step can be directed down line for further processing or can be used as is. In the second step of looping oxidation, the product is oxidized back to its fully oxidized state and is mainly looped back to drive the oxidation process in the first reaction. There are also several opportunities for energy recovery and conversion, making looping oxidation an energy-efficient process. Robert Balliett and Jean A.

高温下金与石英的相互作用及其对浸金过程的影响

金在高温下可能与石英及硅酸盐类矿物相互作用,导致焙烧后矿石中金回收难度增大。于不同温度(600℃~750℃)和时间(1~4 h)条件下对石英-硫化矿-金粉混合物进行焙烧,考察焙烧渣中金的氰化浸出率。结果表明,高温会活化石英并与金相互作用,导致焙烧渣中的金难以被氰化物浸出。第一性原理计算表明,金原子在石英(101)表面的吸附能为-300.01 kJ/mol,Au-1与石英表面的Si-12距离为0.2264 nm,石英表面Si-12的电子转换到Au-1原子上,布居值和键长数据显示金原子与石英(101)表面的硅原子存在键合作用,印证了焙烧试验结果。
