Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an electro-chlorination extraction process of gold in gold-containing materials, which is a method for efficiently enriching and extracting the gold in the gold-containing materials. Belongs to the field of resource circulation and pollution control.
Background
Gold, a rare and precious metal, is still in increasing demand. Currently, the annual global gold demand is about 4000 tons, mainly for national storage and product manufacture, especially for the manufacture of jewelry and electronic products. Gold mining is a huge source of wealth, but they are not always popular with local residents. On the one hand, almost all easily mined gold has been mined over thousands of years; the more difficult to mine deposits means harsher mining environments, more dangerous mining operations, and higher costs. On the other hand, gold mining is even considered a "dirty business" due to the use of large amounts of toxic hazardous chemicals and the generation of large amounts of hazardous waste. Therefore, in order to better cope with environmental, social and economic relations, more reliable resources and more environmentally friendly technologies are required to solve the above-mentioned problems.
In recent years, secondary resources such as electronic waste have been considered as a more reliable source of gold. Electronic waste is known as "urban mines", e.g. circuit boards from mobile telephones or computers typically contain 200-300 g/t of gold, the gold content of which is at least ten times that of natural ore. Driven by economic interest and limited by existing technologies, these secondary resources are mainly recovered in developing and underdeveloped countries by the conventional means of aqua regia, cyanidation and the like. Although the cyanidation method has simple process flow and high leaching rate, the cyanidation method can generate waste water containing highly toxic cyanide to cause secondary pollution; the aqua regia method has good dissolving effect on gold and copper, but aqua regia has strong corrosivity and high requirement on the corrosion resistance of equipment, and simultaneously can generate a large amount of strong-acid wastewater to harm the environment and human health.
Therefore, a technology with high gold extraction efficiency, small environmental risk and short operation flow is urgently needed at present to be used for extracting and recovering gold from gold-containing waste materials so as to eliminate or reduce environmental pollution caused by the gold extraction process and promote the clean development of the gold extraction technology.
