含砷难处理金矿的细菌氧化预处理法具有投资成本较低、反应易控制及适合中小型金矿等优点,但此法空气利用率较低,造成通气量很大,通气动力成本过高。本研究提出了新型的导流式搅拌槽,通过改善通气和搅拌方式,降低通气成本和动力消耗,提高浸出效率。以含砷难处理金精矿为研究对象,采用嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌(At.f)对其进行生物预氧化搅拌浸出实验。实验对比研究了采用普通搅拌槽和导流式搅拌槽对含砷金精矿生物浸出过程中矿浆p H值、氧化还原电位(Eh)、总铁和总砷浸出率的差异,并对导流式搅拌槽中浸渣进行XRD和SEM分析。结果发现,反应第二天开始导流式搅拌槽中Eh值迅速升高,且最大值为497 m V,脱砷率达到34.86%,浸渣硫脲法提金率为58%。
The objective of this work is using the online measurement method to study the process of precipitation of nickel hydroxide in a single-feed semi-batch stirred reactor with an internal diameter of D = 240 mm. The effects of impeller speed, impeller type, impeller diameter and feed location on the mean particle size d43 and particle size distribution(PSD) were investigated. d43 and PSD were measured online using a Malvern Insitec Liquid Process Sizer every 20 s. It was found that d43 varied between 13 μm and 26 μm under different operating conditions,and it decreased with increasing impeller diameter. When feeding at the off-bottom distance of D/2 under lower impeller speeds, d43 was significantly smaller than that at D/3. PSDs were slightly influenced by operating conditions.
