Abstract Conventional gold extraction process of heap leaching is widely applied in low-grade gold flotation and secondary development and utilization of the tailings. From the practical work considerations, heap leaching process rate and migration behavior of gold mine tailings were studied, focus of discussion on ‘retention phenomenon’ of dissolved gold in percolated migration process, which are based on experimental data analysis of goldmine type, slag particle size, stockpile height, stacking way, the process operation are basically the same or similar conditions in the paper. The results show that the upper of heap leaching are more ideal, belonging to the cyanide leaching of ore; ‘retention’ phenomenon existed in the lower part and the amount of ‘retention’ was gradually increasing from upper to lower; the amount reached maximum before leaching peak from the time aspect. Keywords: Gold Extraction Process of Heap Leaching; Process Rate; Retention Phenomenon; Percolated Migration

矿类型、矿渣粒度、矿堆高度、筑堆方式、工艺操作等基本相同或者类似条件下实验数据分析,讨论研究金矿尾矿堆浸 进程速率及其迁移行为,重点分析讨论已溶金在渗滤迁移过程中的“滞留现象”。分析结果显示各堆上部浸出都较理想, 均属于氰化浸出矿石;下部都存在金的“滞留”现象,“滞留”量自上而下逐渐加大;从时间看,浸出高峰期前最大。 关键词:堆浸提金工艺;进程速率;滞留现象;渗滤迁移
引言 近几年,堆浸提金工艺在低品位金矿浮选、尾渣的二次开发利用方面比较成功,应用较为广泛[1]。但在室 内氰化浸出试验满意的情况下,有的尾渣堆浸效果不太理想。经过大量堆浸对比分析,发现在金矿类型、矿渣 粒度、矿堆高度、筑堆方式、工艺操作等基本相同或者类似条件下,矿堆的浸出速率和最终回收率有着很大差 别[2],以贵液的峰值浓度标示性参数看,有的矿堆具有明显的浸出高峰期,峰值浓度与入堆矿石品位的数值(都 使用×10-6 数量级)比可达 3 以上,有的则不到 1,基本没有浸出的高峰期,有的堆高 2m 浸出效果比堆高 10m 的还要差。对浸出不好的矿堆取样分析,发现其上部浸出早已结束,而底层氰渣品位比原入堆品位还高,出现 了已溶金在渗滤迁移过程中的“滞留现象”。 金的这种“滞留”是否普遍存在?矿石性质、粒度、堆高以及工艺操作制度对“滞留”以及整个堆浸的过 程速率有何影响?带着这些问题,本文重点从完善堆浸工艺措施,通过现场生产实践分析,解决尾渣堆浸进程 速率及金的迁移行为问题研究。 - 66 http://www.j-es.org/
