Abstract

Refractory gold ores are roasted in an oxidising atmosphere in a fluidised bed with added carbonaceous fuels at temperatures of 500-650@C. To obtain extensive combustion to CO2 and H2O, methanol is added as a carbonaceous fuel.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Rösten refraktärer Golderze in oxidierender Atmosphäre in einer Wirbelschicht unter Zusatz von kohlenstoffhaltigen Brennstoffen.The invention relates to a method for roasting refractory gold ores in an oxidizing atmosphere in a fluidized bed with the addition of carbon-containing fuels.

Refraktäre Golderze oder Konzentrate sind solche Erze, die sich nicht direkt mit NaCN laugen lassen und als Goldträger Arsenopyrite oder Pyrite mit mehr oder weniger organischem Kohlenstoff haben. Sie haben einen relativ niedrigen Goldgehalt. Für solche Erze ist vor der Cyanidlaugung eine möglichst vollständige Oxidation des Schwefel- und Kohlenstoffgehaltes erforderlich. Diese Oxidation erfolgt durch Röstung mit sauerstoffhaltigen Gasen. Bei vielen refraktären Golderzen reicht der vorhandene Gehalt an Arsenopyrit, Pyrit und organischem Kohlenstoff nicht zur Erzeugung der erforderlichen Reaktionswärme aus und es muß Brennstoff zugesetzt werden. Eine Vielzahl von refraktären Golderzen muß bei relativ niedriger Temperatur geröstet werden, damit ein gutes Goldausbringen bei der anschließenden Laugung erzielt wird.Refractory gold ores or concentrates are those that cannot be leached directly with NaCN and have arsenopyrites or pyrites with more or less organic carbon as gold carriers. They have a relatively low gold content. For such ores, the most complete possible oxidation of the sulfur and carbon content is required before the cyanide leaching. This oxidation takes place by roasting with oxygen-containing gases. In the case of many refractory gold ores, the arsenopyrite, pyrite and organic carbon content is insufficient to generate the required heat of reaction and fuel must be added. A large number of refractory gold ores must be roasted at a relatively low temperature in order to achieve good gold yield during the subsequent leaching.

Aus der EP-A-508 542 ist es bekannt, daß Golderze bei einer Temperatur von 475-600°C und insbesondere bei 500-575°C geröstet werden sollen. Als Brennstoffzusatz werden Kohle, Butan oder Propan genannt. Der Zündpunkt soll dem des Propans entsprechen oder niedriger liegen. Propan und Butan werden jedoch nur zu einem unbefriedigenden Teil zu CO₂ und H₂O verbrannt. Kohle muß auf die für die Wirbelschicht erforderliche Korngröße zerkleinert werden.From EP-A-508 542 it is known that gold ores are to be roasted at a temperature of 475-600 ° C and in particular at 500-575 ° C. Coal, butane or propane are mentioned as fuel additives. The ignition point should correspond to or lower than that of the propane. However, propane and butane are only burned to an unsatisfactory extent to CO₂ and H₂O. Coal must be crushed to the grain size required for the fluidized bed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Brennstoff einzusetzen, der weitgehend zu CO₂ und H₂O in der Wirbelschicht verbrannt wird und der einen möglichst geringen Aufwand erfordert.The invention has for its object to use a fuel which is largely burned to CO₂ and H₂O in the fluidized bed and which requires the least possible effort.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgbe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß bei dem eingangs genannten Verfahren dadurch, daß als kohlenstoffhaltiger Brennstoff Methanol (CH₃OH) in die Wirbelschicht zugegeben wird und die Röstung bei Temperaturen von 500-650°C erfolgt. Die Menge des zugesetzten Methanols richtet sich nach den jeweiligen Verfahrensbedingungen. Die Röstung kann in einer klassischen Wirbelschicht oder in einer zirkulierenden Wirbelschicht erfolgen.These tasks are solved according to the invention in the process mentioned at the outset by adding methanol (CH₃OH) as the carbon-containing fuel to the fluidized bed and roasting at temperatures of 500-650 ° C. The amount of methanol added depends on the respective process conditions. Roasting can take place in a classic fluidized bed or in a circulating fluidized bed.

Der Einsatz von Methanol als kohlenstoffhaltiger Brennstoff führt überraschend zu einer weitgehenden Verbrennung zu CO₂ und H₂O in der Wirbelschicht. Wahrscheinlich wirken gerade die refraktären Golderze katalytisch auf die Verbrennung des Methanols. Das Methanol kann in einfacher Weise in die Wirbelschicht zugegeben werden.The use of methanol as a carbon-containing fuel surprisingly leads to extensive combustion to CO₂ and H₂O in the fluidized bed. It is likely that the refractory gold ores have a catalytic effect on the combustion of the methanol. The methanol can be added to the fluidized bed in a simple manner.

Eine vorzugsweise Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Röstung bei Temperaturen von 540-580°C erfolgt. Bei diesen Temperaturen werden besonders gute Laugungseigenschaften des Röstgutes erzielt.A preferred embodiment is that the roasting takes place at temperatures of 540-580 ° C. At these temperatures, particularly good leaching properties of the roasted product are achieved.

Eine vorzugsweise Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß das Methanol in flüssiger Form in die Wirbelschicht zugegeben wird. Die Zugabe in flüssiger Form ergibt höhere Umsetzungen zu CO₂ und H₂O. A preferred embodiment is that the methanol is added to the fluidized bed in liquid form. The addition in liquid form results in higher conversions to CO₂ and H₂ O.

Eine vorzugsweise Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Röstung in einer zirkulierenden Wirbelschicht erfolgt. Das System der zirkulierenden Wirbelschicht besteht aus dem Wirbelschichtreaktor, dem Rückführzyklon und der Rückführleitung. Dieses Wirbelschichtprinzip zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß im Unterschied zur "klassischen" Wirbelschicht, bei der eine dichte Phase durch einen deutlichen Dichtesprung von dem darüber befindlichen Gasraum getrennt ist, Verteilungszustände ohne definierte Grenzschicht vorliegen. Ein Dichtesprung zwischen dichter Phase und darüber befindlichem Staubraum ist nicht vorhanden, jedoch nimmt innerhalb des Reaktors die Feststoffkonzentration von unten nach oben ständig ab. Aus dem oberen Teil des Reaktors wird eine Gas-Feststoff-Suspension ausgetragen. Bei der Definition der Betriebsbedingungen über die Kennzahlen von Froude und Archimedes ergeben sich die Bereiche:

Figure imgb0001

bzw.
   0,01 ≦ Ar ≦ 100 ,
wobei

sind.A preferred embodiment is that the roasting takes place in a circulating fluidized bed. The system of the circulating fluidized bed consists of the fluidized bed reactor, the return cyclone and the return line. This fluidized bed principle is characterized in that, in contrast to the "classic" fluidized bed, in which a dense phase is separated from the gas space above by a clear density jump, there are distribution states without a defined boundary layer. There is no leap in density between the dense phase and the dust space above it, but the solids concentration within the reactor decreases continuously from bottom to top. A gas-solid suspension is discharged from the upper part of the reactor. When defining the operating conditions using the key figures from Froude and Archimedes, the following areas result:

The suspension discharged from the fluidized bed reactor is passed into the recycle cyclone of the circulating fluidized bed, largely freed from the solids there, and the separated solid is returned to the fluidized bed reactor in such a way that the hourly solids circulation within the circulating fluidized bed is at least four times the solids weight in the fluidized bed reactor.

In einer zirkulierenden Wirbelschicht werden besonders gute Ergebnisse im Hinblick auf einen weitgehenden Umsatz des Methanols zu CO₂ und H₂O und gute Laugbarkeit des Erzes erzielt.In a circulating fluidized bed, particularly good results are achieved with regard to extensive conversion of the methanol to CO₂ and H₂O and good leachability of the ore.

Eine vorzugsweise Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Korngröße des Golderzes unter 1 mm liegt. Diese Korngröße ergibt gute Ergebnisse.A preferred embodiment is that the grain size of the gold ore is less than 1 mm. This grain size gives good results.

Eine vorzugsweise Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß 60-80% des Golderzes eine Korngröße unter 75 µm haben. Diese Korngröße ergibt besonders gute Ergebnisse.A preferred embodiment is that 60-80% of the gold ore have a grain size below 75 microns. This grain size gives particularly good results.
