The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous
metallurgy, and particularly relates to a selective
oxygen pressure leaching method for the enrichment of precious metals from high-iron, high-
copper and
nickel-containing materials. The method comprises the following steps of purification and
impurity removal, normal-pressure leaching,
oxygen-pressure deironing,
oxygen-pressure
nickel immersion and oxygen-pressure
copper immersion. The method is short in technological process and high in direct yield, and can be used for selectively leaching
nickel,
cobalt,
copper and iron and respectively realizing open circuit; and the method is wide in
raw material adaptability, suitable for treating various high-iron high-copper nickel-containing materials such as
intermediate product low-nickel matte generated in the conventional
nickel sulfide ore
smelting process, primary alloys,
fine grain alloys,
cobalt-rich low-nickel matte and
cobalt-rich matte, and is remarkable in benefit. The nickel
sulfate cobalt sulfate solution obtained by adopting the method is high in the product quality, and the requirements of multi-variety production can be met at the same time; the
noble metal can be totally enriched in the
oxygen pressure leaching
copper slag and can be used as a
noble metal concentrate, the direct yield and the
enrichment ratio are high, and iron is directly used in a product form; and copper is leached to obtain a
copper sulfate solution, and crystallized
copper sulfate or electrodeposition copper can be produced.
