Its extraction-out rate can reach more than 75% within 4 months.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a leaching method of copper in copper-containing pyrite, in particular to a bacterial leaching method of copper in copper-containing pyrite.
Background
Pyrite is a mineral raw material in chemical enterprises, and is used for producing sulfur or sulfuric acid. The pyrite is generally associated with about 0.1-1.0% of copper. For chemical enterprises, copper is a harmful impurity element, the quality of pyrite is reduced, and sometimes, the pyrite is difficult to sell or reduce the price of mine enterprises due to high copper content. For non-ferrous enterprises, copper is a valuable metal, and the traditional flotation process can be adopted, so that the harm is changed into the benefit, and the waste is changed into the treasure. However, because the copper grade is low, and the copper oxide part is generally lost in the flotation tail liquid, the recovery rate is low, and the cost is high, the method is difficult to win.
The bacterial leaching technology has the characteristics of low cost, high leaching rate and the like, and is an effective method for recovering copper in the pyrite. However, some pyrites are in the form of fine sludge with poor permeability; some pyrites contain sphalerite besides chalcopyrite, and the sphalerite often inhibits leaching of the chalcopyrite in the process of leaching copper by bacteria; in addition, because the pyrite is a main mineral and the content of the pyrite is far higher than that of a copper mineral, the pyrite is inevitably and partially oxidized at the same time in the bacterial leaching process, so that the acid yield of the solution is high, the pH value is greatly reduced, the activity of copper leaching bacteria is influenced, and the copper leaching rate is reduced; on the other hand, the reduction of sulfur is caused, and the sulfur content of the pyrite is reduced.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide the bacterial leaching method which has low cost and high leaching rate, can quickly recover copper in pyrite and does not influence the sulfur content of the pyrite.
The technical principle of the bacterial leaching method for recovering copper in pyrite is as follows. The inventor researches the chemical components and phase compositions of the copper-containing pyrite and the bacterial leaching mechanism, and finds that copper sulfide generally exists in the forms of chalcopyrite, chalcocite and a small amount of copper oxide ore, and the copper sulfide minerals are distributed in the pyrite in a strip shape and a block shape, are sometimes staggered and mutually contained, have more cracks and are mostly oxidized into copper blue on the surface; chalcopyrite, zinc blende and pyrite are symbiotic, and gold particles and silver gold ores are often associated in gaps.
According to the distribution characteristics, the electrochemical catalysis of bacteria among different sulfide minerals is fully utilized, namely, low-potential copper sulfide is used as a corrosion anode, high-potential pyrite and gold and silver ores are used as cathodes, and the bacteria are utilized to promote the primary battery effect among the copper sulfide and the copper sulfide; other pyrites which do not form the primary battery effect inhibit the activity of the obligate bacteria (leptospirillum spp) of oxidized pyrite by controlling the process conditions, thereby achieving the purpose of slowing down the oxidation of the pyrite. The method comprises the following steps: before leaching by using the bacterial leaching solution, firstly leaching copper oxide in the leaching solution by using sulfuric acid with the concentration of 1-2g/L, and then catalyzingleaching of zinc blende by using leached copper ions, wherein the zinc blende is catalytically leached, so that the potential inhibition effect of the zinc blende on the leaching of chalcopyrite bacteria is eliminated earlier, and the reaction is as follows:
the crystal lattice of the zinc blende is damaged due to the substitution of metal ions, the substituted product cannot form a complete crystal lattice and is easily oxidized by high iron, the reduced ferrous iron is oxidized by bacteria to be regenerated, the whole reaction is repeated in cycles, the bacterial leaching of the zinc blende is accelerated, and meanwhile, the potential inhibition of the zinc blende on the chalcopyrite is eliminated earlier.
The invention adopts a bacterial oxidation method to leach copper in pyrite, and the strains mainly comprise some moderate-temperature strains, such as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans (Thiobacillus ferrooxidans), ferrous ferrooxidans (Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans), Thiobacillus thiooxidans (Ferrobacillus thiooxidans), Thiobacillus acidophilus (Thiobacillus acidophilus) and the like. High temperature species such as sulfolobus acidocaldarius, microluo (leptospirillum theoferrooxidans), Thiobacillus thermosulfidooxidans (Sykfibacillus thermosulfidooxidans), etc. as well as microluo (leptospirillum ferrooxidans) and Thiobacillus thiooxidans (Thiobacillus thiooxidans) should not be inoculated and the activity of its natural species should be inhibited by process conditions to prevent these bacteria from excessively oxidizing sulfur in pyrite.
The specific process of the invention is as follows:
① making into piles
The method comprises the following steps of (1) alternately stacking the fine and muddy pyrites and blocky pyrites in a layered mode, determining the layer thickness degree of the fine and muddy pyrites according to the relative resource quantity of the two types of pyrites and the maximum permeability of the fine and muddy pyrites measured before stacking, and enabling the fine and muddy pyrite layer to be as thin as possible, wherein the fine and muddy pyrite layer is generally not more than 5m, and the preferred thickness is 1-3 m; the permeability is preferably maintained at 10L/h.m2Above, the minimum should be not less than 5L/h.m2Otherwise, the spray system would be difficult to operate unless the drip system is used instead. The massive pyrite does not need to be crushed because the crystal grains are generally not large, the aggregate of the crystal grains is looser, copper sulfide is distributed among cracks in a strip shape, and the granularity cannot influence the leaching rate of bacteria on copper.
In addition to the above considerations, it is preferable to stack a layer of high-grade and high-oxidation-rate pyrite with copper on top of each layer of pyrite containing copper and zinc sulfides, so that the copper ions leached by sulfuric acid can catalyze the leaching of zinc from the underlying pyrite and the potential inhibition of the pyrite by the sphalerite can be released early.
Other heap leaching requires the same general heap leaching method.
② culturing strain and preparing nutrients from its liquid extract
The strain is mainly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, and can also be ferrous iron oxideBacillus ferrooxidans, ferrous sulfur oxide Bacillus, etc. The inoculum is preferably isolated, purified and improved, and the inoculum improvement can be carried out according to the method described in the present invention patent application No. 03124788.1, which was filed on 9/3/2003 by the present inventors. The strains with stronger pyrite oxide, such as ferrous oxide micro-spirochete bacteria and high-temperature ferrous oxide micro-spirochete bacteria, are not suitable to exist, and the bacteria with strong sulfur oxide capacity, such as sulfur oxide thiobacillus and the like, are also not suitable to be removed. The strain culture medium is prepared by adding 1-6g/L (preferably 2-4g/L) of ammonium sulfate into 5-20% (w/v) of ore pulp (preferably 10-15% ore pulp); dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 0.1-1.0g/L (preferably 0.3-0.7 g/L); the pH value is 1.0-3.0, and the optimal range is 1.7-2.5. Other nutrient media, such as magnesium sulfate, may not be added, as the mineral content is generally sufficient. The inoculum can also be cultured with 9k basic salt, but the amount of ferrous sulfate is preferably selected from 34-22 g/L.
The preparation of the leaching solution is basically the same as that of a seed bacteria culture solution, ferrous sulfate is not suitable to be added into the leaching solution, and the growth of the microspira is promoted by overhigh iron; the concentration of iron is controlled below 5g/L, preferably not more than 3 g/L; the addition amount and pH value of ammonium sulfate and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate are the same as those of the seed bacteria culture solution.
③ spray or drip
Inoculating the strain into the leaching solution according to the proportion of 0.05-5% (v/v), and immediately spraying; the liquid-solid ratio of the leaching solution to the pyrite is preferably 1: 5-100, and preferably 1: 10-50. Since the passage time and growth condition of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans are better controlled than those of Microspirillum, it will become the main bacterium for leaching and preferentially decompose copper sulphide minerals.
The first spraying is extremely important, and the maximum permeability and the maximum adsorption capacity of the pile are predicted. The specific method comprises the following steps: spraying with 1/4-1/2 spraying strength of maximum permeability, and spraying with 1/4-3/4 spraying strength of maximum permeability after the spraying amount reaches the maximum adsorption amount, preferably 1/3-2/3.
During leaching, the iron concentration of the leaching liquid is preferably controlled to be below 5g/L, and preferably not more than 3 g/L.
The spraying system should also be considered, and it should be distinguished from cold and warm wind in spring, summer, autumn and winter, rainy days, fine days and daytime at night. Generally, the spraying time is 8-10 points and 17-19 points every day, and the spraying is stopped at 10-17 points and at night; it is not suitable for spraying in rain, and can be sprayed once in short time (1-2 hr) when it rains continuously for more than 24 hr, and its intensity is preferably low, and is preferably 1/5-/4 of maximum permeability. It is not suitable for spraying when blowing strong wind. In winter, the spraying time should be shortened by 1-2 hours.
When the permeability of the ore heap is not good enough, a dripping system can be adopted.
④ recovery of copper sulfate solution
The copper ions in the leachate can be enriched by known extraction methods. When the concentration of copper ions reaches more than 1g/L, extraction is carried out in time. The extraction pregnant solution is used for producing the electric copper plate according to the traditional electrodeposition process. Theextraction tail liquid returns to the pile or enters a tail liquid pool.
The invention has the following positive effects: under the conditions of natural granularity and natural weather, the leaching rate of copper can reach over 75 percent after bacteria leaching for 4 months; the coexistence of copper-zinc sulfide and pyrite can realize the simultaneous leaching of copper and zinc, and the leaching effect is similar to that of zinc-free sulfide minerals.
The benefits are as follows: the bacterial leaching of copper from copper-bearing pyrite has high benefit and little pollution. If the production cost is only 0.5 ten thousand yuan/ton (almost negligible because the amount of sulfuric acid is very small) calculated by the current copper price of 2.0 ten thousand yuan/ton, the copper per ton can be profitable by about 1.5 ten thousand yuan. In addition, because bacteria are used for leaching impurity elements such as copper, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, potassium, silicon and the like, the removed impurity amount can reach more than 7 percent of the total amount, the sulfur content of the pyrite is increased, the quality is improved, the original low-grade waste pyrite (S is less than or equal to 30 percent) can be easily sold from difficult sale, and the benefit of about 30-100 yuan per ton of pyrite can be increased for enterprises.
