A bioselective leaching method for low-grade
copper-
cobalt ores belongs to the field of microbial
metallurgy. Follow the following steps: crush and
grind the
copper-
cobalt ore, and inoculate the mixed bacterial solution containing Microspirillum ferrooxidans,
Thiobacillus acidophilus
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and
Thiobacillus acidophilus into the 9K culture medium for cultivation to obtain bacterial culture. liquid. Add
copper-
cobalt ore to the bacterial culture solution and perform bacterial leaching of the cobalt concentrate. When the
leaching rate of cobalt in the bacterial leach solution is more than 97%, separate the leach solution containing cobalt, copper and other valuable
metal ions from the leaching residue. , and then use Lix984N extraction agent to extract copper to obtain copper products; the
raffinate after copper extraction is subjected to iron
vitriol precipitation and
iron removal to obtain iron products; the cobalt-containing liquid after
iron removal is crystallized to obtain cobalt
oxalate products. The invention has short process flow, simple operation, simple equipment, low
energy consumption, does not require high-temperature
smelting, does not emit polluting
smoke and toxic gases, and can quickly realize the separation and efficient
recovery of cobalt from other valuable metals.
