Production Practice of Pressure Modification and Transportation Technology Transformation of a Gold Mine Tailings

I. Overview

Longtoushan gold mine tailings filter press facility in March 2003 completed and put into production. From the overall production situation, after the gradual commissioning is normal, the sewage treatment cost is saved, the return of the filtrate reduces the consumption of the NaCN agent, and the recovered gold is recovered. The transportation cost of the filter tailings is deducted, and a certain economy is obtained. benefit. Due to the special suburban location of the mine and the need to stabilize the production and operation in order to protect the surrounding environment, the tailings filter dry reactor system cannot be used during the rainy season. According to the experience gained in the production practice, the tailings pressure filter-filter cake is treated by alkaline chlorination and then sent to the tailings dam, which avoids the danger of the filter biscuits being washed away by the rainstorm in the rainy season. It can also save the cost of sewage treatment and NaCN, reduce production costs and increase economic benefits. Production practice shows that, under the existing circumstances, less reform funds are invested, combined with the original facilities in the past, to form a new tailings treatment method, that is, it is reasonable to use tailings pressure filtration-filter cake to purify and purify in the rainy season. And feasible.

Second, tailings pressure filtration transport transformation

(1) Process flow and main technical indicators

1. The process flow of tailings pressure filtration-filter cake mixing treatment is shown in Figure 1.

2, the main technical indicators

Design processing capacity 400~450t/d

Ore density 2.65~2.70t/m 3

Tailings slurry concentration 45% to 50%

Slurry discharge flow 25~30m 3 /h

Water content of filter cake after pressure filtration ≤23%

Filter cake plus new water after slurry concentration 45%

Filter cake plus fresh water after slurry pH 11.0

CN - mass concentration after filter cake adjustment 100~200mg/L

CN - mass concentration <0.5mg/L after pulping treatment

Filter press single cycle time 40min

Filter press working pressure 0.8MPa

Sewage purification reaction time 1.5h

C1 2 dosage 2.0kg/t (1.652kg/m 3 )

3. Process flow. The plant discharges 45%-50% of the slurry from the tailings buffer tank of the sewage plant, and then presses it into the filter press chamber by the feed pump, and discharges the water by pressure filtration to form a filter cake with a water content of less than 23%. After that, the pressure filtration ends. The cyanide-containing filter press solution enters the return water tank and then returns to the plant for reuse; the filter cake after pressure filtration is discharged into the buffer chute (adding fresh water) through the belt conveyor, and is transferred into a spiral stirring tank to adjust the concentration to 40% to 45%. It flows into the newly added agitation tank and then flows into the original wet sewage treatment plant evenly. After the purification treatment reaches the standard, it is sent to the tailings pond.

Fourth, technical and economic evaluation

The tailings pressure filter-filter cake is used to purify and discharge the solution to the tailings pond. Although it has increased the processing procedure compared with any previous treatment method, it can save the main pharmaceutical consumption and recover more gold and reduce the production cost. Increase economic efficiency. From July 2003 to July 2004 (the ore properties are similar), the NaCN consumption and sewage treatment cost of the selected plants in different periods are shown in Table 2; the cost of tailings pressure filtration-filter cake pulping purification treatment is shown in Table 3; The results are shown in Table 4; the added cost of the new process is shown in Table 5.

Refer to the actual production situation

According to the calculation of 55,000 tons of ore for half a year, the added cost is 321,100 yuan.

It can be seen from the calculation of the main increase and decrease (see Table 4) and the cost increase of the newly added process (see Table 5). It can be seen that the investment of 85,000 yuan to implement the tailings treatment process transformation can be used in the rainy season with tailings pressure filtration-filter cake adjustment. The pulp purification treatment process can create economic benefits of 21.23 million yuan.

V. Conclusion

(1) The total cost of the renovation project is 85,000 yuan, which is a project with less investment, relatively quick return and good economic benefits. The project has been completed and the equipment is operating normally and the process is smooth. The savings of NaCN and Cl 2 , which are the main materials consumed in production, have achieved the desired results.

(2) Due to the first pressure filtration, most of the cyanide-containing wastewater is recycled, and the filter cake is added with fresh water for slurrying into the wet sewage treatment system. The total cyanide mass concentration is reduced from the original 350 mg/L to 100 mg/ L or so not only greatly reduces the sewage treatment costs, but also facilitates the discharge of national standards after sewage treatment.
