Tank leaching establishes the most effective approach for bioleaching and > 80% of Zn is leached from zinc sulfide . 8 Factors Affecting Bioleaching Bioleaching involve microorganisms, therefore, highly effected by biological, environmental, and physicochemical factors, which in turn affect the metal extraction yield.
As can be seen from Table 2, the main minerals bearing zinc are siderite and limonite. Therefore, it can be inferred that zinc exists in gossan ores in the forms of siderite, limonite, and smithsonite. Figure 1. XRD pattern of the raw ore. Table 2. Distribution of zinc in the main minerals of the raw ore sample.
Different leaching strategies for copper, zinc, and lead have been described in the literature. Lu et al. [] obtained up to 97% copper extraction in 9-h tests from chalcopyrite concentrate in solutions containing 0.8 mol/L H 2 SO 4 and 1 mol/L NaCl at high temperatures (60–95 °C).The authors reported that chloride concentrations > 0.5 mol/L …
The Skorpion process was developed to treat a complex non-sulphide oxide ore body using atmospheric leaching followed by solvent extraction and electrowinning of zinc (1,2,3) . Sauconite is the largest contributor to the zinc grade with lesser amounts of zinc hydroxides. The gangue minerals are mainly quartz, K-feldspar and muscovite mica. The
The application of whole-ore-leaching is likely to be uneconomical, and the separation of the acid-consuming gangue minerals prior to leaching is essential to the successful recovery of zinc from these deposits. This offers numerous advantages for leaching reagent consumption, refinery sizing, and site selection, as it could prove to be ...
Before use in the leaching stage, the ZPR sample was dried, ground, and homogenized. Particle size was generally less than 50 μm. In Iranian National Lead and Zinc Co. (NILZ) has a capacity of 20,000 t Zn/y, ZnO-rich calcine is first produced from oxide-carbonate concentrates and then leached with hot H 2 SO 4 solution. After L/S …
Scholars have studied the process of increasing the leaching rate by regulating the potential. Use SO 2 to assist H 2 SO 4 leaching of zinc residues, which releases part of germanium wrapped by zinc ferrite by reducing Fe 3+. SO 2 is oxidized to sulfurous acid and further generates H 2 SO 4 [48]. However, the leaching rate of …
2.1 Materials. A zinc-bearing oxide ore containing 5.9% Zn was used for all the experiments. The feed sample was milled prior to leaching. The mineralogical properties of the ore sample were characterized by optical mineralogy methods using the polished and thin sections and scanning electron microscope (SEM) method.
During the leaching process of zinc oxidized ore, soluble zinc sulfate forms which stays in solution. In this process, the lead compounds form lead sulfate precipitates which transfer to the
The leaching of low-grade oxide zinc ore and simultaneous integrated selective extraction of zinc were investigated using a small-scale leaching column and laboratory scale box mixer-settlers. Di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) dissolved in kerosene was used as an extractant. The results showed that it was possible to …
the kinetics of zinc dissolution. The results showed that the leaching of zinc is controlled by a single rate-controlling step with an activation energy of 4.458 kJ/mol before 120 min and 5.536 kJ/mol after 120 min, with zinc leaching efficiency less than 50% in all leachings. Keywords: gossan; zinc; oxide ore; leaching; alkaline treatment 1.
During leaching 99% extraction of zinc, 98% of manganese, and 96% liberation of elemental sulphur was achieved. 80–90% anodic and cathodic current efficiencies can be obtained under optimum ...
The increase in solid ore leaching residue content of iron oxide by factors of 10 and 15 is most marked. This occurs because during leaching ores iron oxide from lizardite, antigorite, actinolite, and clinochlore is transferred into sulfuric acid solutions in the form of sulfates (Fe 3 SO 4 · n H 2 O), which at pH = 3 hydrolyse with formation ...
for extracting zinc from low-grade oxide ores. Leaching zinc oxide ore by H2SO4 or HCl and its kinetics have been studied by some researchers[1−4]. Leaching low-grade zinc oxide ore consumes a great deal of acid because of existence of large amounts of basic gangue such as CaO and MgO in it. At the same time, impurities
This regime provided zinc extraction from ore into solution at the level of …
