硫脲浸出液活性炭负载洗脱研究

GOLD ELUTION FROM CARBON LOADED IN THIOUREA LEACH SOLUTION

从硫脲浸出液中活性炭负载洗脱金是比较困难的,目前在这方面发表的文献并不很多。本文着重研究并讨论了从负载活性炭上洗脱金的不同方法,包括酸性硫脲有机溶液和非有机洗脱液。研究了丙酮、乙腈、丁醇、乙二醚和乙醇5种有机溶剂。研究了不同的硫脲、硫酸和有机溶剂的浓度和温度对洗脱的影响。试验表明了这5种有机溶剂对金的洗脱能力按如下顺序排列: 丁醇>乙腈>乙二醚>乙醇>丙酮当采用5%丁醇,50～100g/L硫脲和50～100g/L硫酸,温度40～60℃时,金的洗脱率可达98～99%,此时活性炭含金降至0.10mg/g以下。对于非有机洗脱液,像硫化钠和硫代硫酸钠,研究表明金的洗脱率主要取决于溶液的浓度和温度,在室温时,1～2mol的硫化钠溶液可以洗脱99%的金。如果溶液的浓度降低至0.5mol,则温度需升至80℃以上才可能获得相同的洗脱率。

Elution of gold from activated carbon was discussed. The carbon was loaded with gold from thiourea solutions. The elution of gold was performed with various methods including acidic thiourea organic solutions and non-organic stripping solutions. Five organic solvents, i. e. acetone, acetonitrile, butanol, diethyl ether and ethanol, were each separately added to sulphuric acid-thiourea solutions. The variables included the concentrations of thiourea, sulphuric acid, organic solvents and solution temperature....
