The invention relates to a method for leaching low-grade gold in high-
arsenic sulfur concentrate acid-making
cinder by
microorganism preoxidation, which has the main contents that bacterium preoxidation is utilized to leach the gold in the high-
arsenic sulfur concentrate acid-making
cinder, and the technology has the core that by taking various microorganisms, such as
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, sulfolobus and the like, under an acid condition,
carbonate,
sulfide, irony matter and part of
silicate packing the gold are unpacked through
oxygen in air, and are oxidized into
sulfate, subsulphate or
arsenate to achieve the goal of exposing the gold. After the gold is exposed, by taking the dilute sulphuric acid solution of
thiourea as a leaching agent, under normal temperature and normal pressure, agitation leaching is carried out on pre-oxidized
slag under the condition that the pH value is 1.3-1.8; 70-85 percent of gold is leached, and after
solid-liquid separation is ended, a gold-contained solution can be extracted by using a traditional
gold extraction process. The method of
thiourea gold leaching after bacterium preoxidation has the characteristics that the
toxicity is low; the solution in which the gold is removed is easy to treat, can be recycled, and can be produced by using a
pollution discharge-free process flow; the gold and silver
dissolution velocity is high; and the solution is not sensitive to the harmful impurities of base metals (Cu, As, Sb and Pb).
