A arsenic-bearing gold ore flotation technology

A gold mine belonging to the metal sulfide deposits, ore composition less complicated. Metallic minerals natural gold, pyrite and arsenopyrite, and a small amount of copper, lead, zinc and other metal sulfides, metal only for the recovery of gold. The main carrier minerals of gold are pyrite, arsenopyrite and quartz . The gold minerals have a fine grain size and are mostly in the form of fissure gold and interstitial gold. The symbiotic relationship between gold and carrier minerals and arsenopyrite and pyrite is extremely close. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve gold and arsenic separation by flotation. Through the selection and combination test of various inhibitors, the arsenic content of gold concentrate was reduced to 0.27% and the removal rate of arsenic reached 92.68% by using the stage selection and phase-inhibition beneficiation process, reaching the arsenic content of gold concentrate. Less than 0.4% quality requirement. The gold concentrate grade is 82.30g/t, and the gold recovery rate is 87.01%.

There are two main types of gold minerals in ore, namely natural gold and silver gold, of which natural gold accounts for more than 94%. Most of the gold minerals are produced in the intergranular or fissures of other minerals. The gold minerals are less encapsulated, and the particles are mostly granular, plate-like or fine veins. Gold minerals are closely related to metal minerals. About 40% of gold minerals are found in pyrite. The gold minerals in arsenopyrite and quartz account for 10% and 25% of the impulse, respectively. Pyrite, arsenopyrite and quartz are The main carrier of gold minerals. Other gold minerals are found in minerals such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, or in the interstices between metal minerals and gangue minerals. The gold minerals have a finer grain size, and their distribution in each grain size is shown in Table 3.

According to the study of ore properties, gold minerals and metal sulfides, especially with pyrite and arsenopyrite, are closely related. The arsenopyrite is not only the main carrier mineral of gold minerals, but also an important factor causing high arsenic content in gold concentrates. . Therefore, it is a prerequisite to achieve the separation of gold and arsenic by increasing the fineness of grinding and dissociating the poisonous ore and yellow iron from the gold mineral monomer. Studies have shown that the floatability of gold minerals is better than that of pyrite and arsenopyrite, selecting suitable collectors and inhibitors, strengthening the inhibition of arsenic-containing minerals, increasing the single floating probability of gold minerals, and floating gold to reduce arsenic. research focus.

In addition to improving the monomer dissociation degree of gold arsenic minerals by increasing the fineness of grinding, it is an important link to reduce the arsenic grade in gold concentrate by determining the reasonable type and amount of inhibitor. (1) Lime is a common inhibitor of arsenopyrite. The experiment found that the amount of lime in the rough selection operation increased, and the arsenic grade in the coarsely selected concentrate decreased significantly. When the amount of lime was 3000g/t, the arsenic grade in the coarse concentrate decreased to 0.35%, and the arsenic recovery rate was only 13.29%. (2) Cyanide is also a potent inhibitor of arsenic minerals. The proper amount of cyanide can increase the arsenic reduction effect. A small amount of cyanide can reduce the arsenic content of gold concentrate to less than 0.30%, but because cyanide has a strong inhibitory effect on gold and sulfide ore, it has a great influence on the yield of gold concentrate. Therefore, the amount of cyanide should not exceed 10g / t. (3) Sodium bisulfite also has a certain effect on improving the effect of gold and arsenic sorting. In the rough selection operation, 1000g/t of sodium hydrogen sulfite is added, and the arsenic grade ratio in the gold concentrate is not decreased by 0.01%. The arsenic recovery rate was reduced by 2.53 percentage points, the gold recovery rate was not affected, and the gold grade was increased by 8.75 g/t. Tests have shown that the combination of lime, sodium bisulfite and a small amount of cyanide has a significant effect on the inhibition of arsenopyrite.
Although lime, sodium bisulfite and cyanide can effectively inhibit arsenopyrite, these three agents also have a strong inhibitory effect on gold minerals. If the arsenic-containing minerals are strongly inhibited in the rough selection, the yield and recovery rate of the gold concentrate will be greatly affected. Therefore, in the development of the sorting process, it is necessary to take advantage of the natural floatability of natural gold, and to use a reasonable pharmaceutical system to expand the floatability difference of gold and arsenic minerals, so that gold minerals can be fully recovered. The ore dressing test process as shown in Fig. 2 was finally determined through experiments, and the test results are shown in Table 5. The process can effectively achieve the separation of gold and arsenic minerals, and obtain a good index of gold concentrate gold grade 82.30g / t, gold recovery rate 87.01%, arsenic grade 0.27%, arsenic inhibition rate of 92.68%.
