The purpose of the invention is as follows: the invention aims to provide a cyanide gold extraction wastewater treatment method which can effectively utilize heavy metal ions without adding an oxidant and the metal ions additionally.
The technical scheme is as follows: the treatment method of the cyaniding gold extraction wastewater comprises the following steps:
(1) preparing a silicon acid solution from sodium silicate and a hydrochloric acid solution;
(2) preparing aluminum-containing wastewater from aluminum chloride and gold extraction cyanide wastewater;
(3) preparing cyaniding gold-extracting silicon-aluminum-containing acidic water by using a silicon-based acid solution and cyaniding gold-extracting aluminum-containing wastewater;
(4) performing low-temperature plasma irradiation on acid water containing silicon and aluminum for cyaniding gold extraction to obtain a polyaluminum silicate precursor solution;
(5) and (4) carrying out low-temperature plasma irradiation on the polysilicate aluminum precursor solution to obtain the silicon-based flocculant.
Preferably, in the step (1), the solid-to-liquid ratio of the sodium silicate to the hydrochloric acid solution is 10-30: 100 g/mL. And further, mixing the sodium silicate and the hydrochloric acid solution, and stirring until the sodium silicate is completely dissolved to obtain the silicon acid solution. Preferably, the mass fraction of the hydrochloric acid in the hydrochloric acid solution is 10-30%. If the mass fraction of the hydrochloric acid is less than 10%, the silicate is hydrolyzed, the polymerization efficiency is reduced, and the amount of the polysilicic acid colloid produced is reduced. If the mass fraction of the hydrochloric acid is higher than 30%, the hydrolysis and polymerization efficiency of the silicate is not remarkably improved, and meanwhile, the aluminum ions and cyanide pollutants adsorbed on the surface of the polysilicic acid colloid are reduced after the silicon-based acid solution and the cyanide gold-extracting aluminum-containing wastewater are mixed.
In the step (2), the solid-to-liquid ratio of the aluminum chloride to the cyaniding gold extraction wastewater is 5-15: 100 g/mL. Further, mixing and stirring the aluminum chloride and the cyaniding gold extraction wastewater until the aluminum chloride is completely dissolved to obtain the cyaniding gold extraction aluminum-containing wastewater.
In the step (3), the volume ratio of the silica-based acid solution to the aluminum-containing wastewater from cyaniding gold extraction is 0.5-1.5: 1.
In the step (4), the low-temperature plasma irradiation atmosphere is oxygen, and the voltage is 10-50 kV. And further stirring the cyaniding gold-extracting silicon-aluminum-containing acidic water while irradiating the acidic water by using low-temperature plasma, stopping stirring after 1-2 hours, and aging for 3-6 hours to obtain a polysilicon-aluminum precursor solution. If the irradiation action voltage of the low-temperature plasma is lower than 10kV, oxygen free radicals, hydroxyl free radicals, hydrogen free radicals and hydrated electrons generated by the reaction of the high-energy electron beams released by the high-voltage electrode of the low-temperature plasma with oxygen and water molecules are reduced, the high-efficiency oxidation effect dominated by the oxygen free radicals and the hydroxyl free radicals is poor in the oxygen atmosphere, the oxidation efficiency of cyanide pollutants in waste liquid is reduced, and released ions such as copper, iron, zinc, silver and gold are reduced. If the irradiation action voltage of the low-temperature plasma is higher than 50kV, the energy consumption is obviously increased, oxygen free radicals, hydroxyl free radicals, hydrogen free radicals and hydrated electrons generated by the reaction of the high-energy electron beams released by the high-voltage electrode of the low-temperature plasma and oxygen and water molecules are not obviously increased, and the oxidation efficiency of cyanide pollutants and the further promotion of released copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and other ions are not obvious. If the aging time is less than 3 hours, the released copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and other ions can not be effectively adsorbed on the surface of the chlorinated polysilicon aluminum colloid. If the aging time is longer than 6 hours, the ions of copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and the like adsorbed on the surface of the chlorinated polysilicon aluminum colloid have no obvious change.
In the step (5), the low-temperature plasma irradiation atmosphere is argon, and the voltage is 10-50 kV. And further stirring the cyaniding gold-extracting silicon-aluminum-containing acidic water while irradiating the low-temperature plasma, stopping stirring after 1-2 hours, aging for 3-6 hours, drying, grinding and sieving with a 200-400-mesh sieve to obtain the silicon-based flocculant. If the low-temperature plasma irradiation action voltage is lower than 10kV, the reduction action dominated by hydrogen radicals and hydrated electrons is weakened under the argon atmosphere, and the mixed floc gel bodies of polyaluminum silicate zinc, polyaluminum ferric silicate, polyaluminum copper silicate and the like generated by the reaction of free silicate radicals in water and the hydrogen radicals and the hydrated electrons, which adsorb the ions of aluminum, copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and the like, are reduced. If the low-temperature plasma irradiation action voltage is higher than 50kV, the reduction action dominated by hydrogen radicals and hydrated electrons is further promoted and is not obvious under the argon atmosphere, and the generation amount of mutually mixed floc gel bodies such as zinc polysilicate, iron polysilicate, copper polysilicate and the like generated by the reaction of free silicate radicals in water with the hydrogen radicals and the hydrated electrons and the like is further increased and is not obvious. If the aging time is less than 3 hours, the mutual mixing of the floc gel bodies such as the poly-silicon aluminum zinc, the poly-silicon aluminum iron, the poly-silicon aluminum copper and the like is insufficient, so that the adsorption performance of the finally generated silicon-based flocculant is deteriorated. If the aging time is longer than 6 hours, the flocculent bodies such as the poly-silicon aluminum zinc, the poly-silicon aluminum iron, the poly-silicon aluminum copper and the like are fully mixed, and the adsorption performance of the finally generated silicon-based flocculant is further not remarkably increased.
The reaction mechanism is as follows: in a strong acid environment, partial silicate is hydrolyzed and polymerized in a silicon acid solution to generate polysilicic acid colloid. After the silica-based acid solution and the cyaniding gold-extracting aluminum-containing wastewater are mixed, aluminum ions and cyaniding pollutants are adsorbed on the surface of the polysilicic acid colloid. Under the irradiation of low-temperature plasma, high-energy electron beams released by the high-voltage electrode of the low-temperature plasma react with oxygen and water molecules to generate oxygen radicals, hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen radicals and hydrated electrons. Under the oxygen atmosphere, the high-efficiency oxidation effect dominated by oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals is more remarkable. The oxygen free radical and the hydroxyl free radical react with cyanide pollutants in the waste liquid, including single cyanide, thiocyanate ions, cuprous cyanide complex ions, zinc cyanide complex ions, iron cyanide complex ions and gold cyanide complex ions to generate carbonate, nitrate, sulfate and water, and ions such as copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and the like are released. Meanwhile, chloride ions can enhance the oxidation process of cyanide pollutants through a chloride ion-chlorine-hypochlorous acid-chloride ion conversion path. The released copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and other ions are adsorbed on the surface of the polysilicic acid colloid. In an oxygen atmosphere, the hydrogen radical and hydrated electron dominated reduction is more pronounced. The polysilicone gel absorbing the ions of aluminum, copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold, etc. and the free silicate in water react with hydrogen radical and hydrated electron to produce mixed floc gel of polysilicone aluminum zinc, polysilicone aluminum iron, polysilicone aluminum copper, etc.
Has the advantages that: compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable advantages: the method has the advantages of simple wastewater treatment process and wide source of required raw materials, the total cyanide content in the flocculant prepared from the cyaniding gold extraction wastewater is only 0.04mg/kg at the lowest, the prepared flocculant is applicable to a water environment with the pH value of 1-13, the heavy metal removal rate is high, the removal of 99% of lead, 98% of mercury, 98% of cadmium, 99% of zinc and 99% of copper in a simulation solution can be realized at the highest, and the method is particularly key for solving the problems existing in the current cyaniding gold extraction wastewater treatment process.

As can be seen from Table 4, the total cyanide content of the flocculants of the invention was much lower than that of comparative flocculant 1, comparative flocculant 2, comparative flocculant 3, comparative flocculant 4; the heavy metal removal rate of the flocculant is far higher than that of a contrast flocculant 1, a contrast flocculant 2, a contrast flocculant 3 and a contrast flocculant 4. For any heavy metal pollutant, the removal rate of the flocculant is higher than the sum of the removal rates of the comparative flocculant 1, the comparative flocculant 2, the comparative flocculant 3 and the comparative flocculant 4. Therefore, it can be concluded from the results in table 4 that, in the oxygen atmosphere, the oxygen radicals and the hydroxyl radicals not only can oxidize and degrade cyanide pollutants in the waste liquid and release copper, iron, zinc, silver, gold and other ions, but also can realize the catalytic conversion of chlorine in the waste liquid so as to promote the reaction of aluminum ions and polysilicic acid colloid and generate the chlorinated poly-silicon-aluminum colloid. Under an argon atmosphere, the hydrogen radical and hydrated electron dominated reduction is more pronounced. The colloid of silicon aluminium chloride adsorbing aluminium, copper, iron, zinc, silver and gold ions and the free silicate in water react with hydrogen radical and hydrated electron to produce flocculated gel of zinc polysilicate, iron polysilicate and copper polysilicate.
