This paper is describing an investigation of sodium lingo-sulfonate and sodium dodecyl-sulfate mixtures influence on zinc concentrates high temperature oxidative pressure leaching and zinc electro-winning. For this purpose, surfactants concentration at leaching tests was varied from 200 to 800 mg∙l-1. It was established that the maximum zinc extraction (99 %) at leaching was achieved in the presence of mixture containing 800 mg∙l-1 lignosulfonate and 200 mg∙l-1 sodium dodecyl-sulfate. Therefore, this mixture can be recommended for high temperature oxidative pressure leaching of zinc concentrates. Sulfur-sulfide pellets formation also was observed at a low lingo-sulfonate concentration (200 mg∙l-1) in a mixture with sodium dodecyl-sulfate. This phenomenon can lead to emergency shut down of autoclave. It was observed that the mixture usage of 800 mg∙l-1 lignosulfonate and 200 mg∙l-1 sodium dodecyl-sulfate had no significant impact on zinc current efficiency, it was in the rage of 92-93 %. The mixture usage of 200 mg∙l-1 lignosulfonate and 600 mg∙l-1 sodium dodecyl-sulfate allowed to increase current efficiency up to 95 %. Increasing sodium dodecyl-sulfate concentration in mixtures with lignosulfonates leads to decrease of current efficiency, to formation of deep pores and defects on cathode zinc surface.

Autoclave leaching of zinc concentrate (Sphalerite) is an environmentally friendly process compared to roasting, which discharges pollutants into the atmosphere. Due to the amount of iron in the final product, a study is proposed to evaluate different reagents for eliminating iron from the autoclave outcome, minimizing Zn losses. The colloid formation, zinc losses, iron removal, phase separation stage characteristics (sedimentation and filtering), and reagent costs were used to evaluate six-iron precipitating reagents: CaO, Na2CO3, CaCO3, NaOH, MgO, and Ca(OH)2. CaO shows 99.5% iron removal and 87% zinc recovery. Although CaO was one of the reagents with significant zinc recovery, it presented operational difficulties in the filtration stage due to the high viscosity of the mixtures. Finally, Ca(OH)2 is the reagent recommended due to its ease of use, zinc yield recovery, electrowinning efficiency, and iron precipitate filtration rate. Zinc recovery was above 80%, while the iron concentration in the solution was below 50 ppm.

This paper describes an investigation of the surfactant influence on zinc sulfide wetting and the pressure leaching of zinc concentrates. For this, a variety of anionic and cationic surfactants with different chemical structures were tested. The methodology for mineral preferential wettability determination via establishing correlation between the spreading coefficients was proposed. It allows determining the surfactant potential efficiency. The influence of contrastively functional reagents on zinc concentrate pressure leaching was reviewed. It is found that simultaneous usage of stabilizers and dispersing agents allows enhancing zinc extraction, eliminating pellet formation at lower reagent consumptions. The beneficial effect of surfactant mixture was seen through the increased zinc sulfide wetting by solution and colloid protection of sulfur particles via solvate-adsorption and structural factor of stabilization. The optimal composition of surfactant mixture was proposed and allowed to extract 95 % of zinc along with pellet formation elimination.

AbstractCollector type and pulp pH play an important role in the lead–zinc ore flotation process. In the current study, the effect of pulp pH and the collector type parameters on the galena and sphalerite flotation from a complex lead–zinc–iron ore was investigated. The ethyl xanthate and Aero 3418 collectors were used for lead flotation and Aero 3477 and amyl xanthate for zinc flotation. It was found that maximum lead grade could be achieved by using Aero 3418 as collector at pH 8. Also, iron and zinc recoveries and grades were increased in the lead concentrate at lower pH which caused zinc recovery reduction in the zinc concentrate and decrease the lead grade concentrate. Furthermore, the results showed that the maximum zinc grade and recovery of 42.9% and 76.7% were achieved at pH 6 in the presence of Aero 3477 as collector. For both collectors at pH 5, Zinc recovery was increased around 2–3%; however, the iron recovery was also increased at this pH which reduced the zinc concentrate quality. Finally, pH 8 and pH 6 were selected as optimum pH values for lead and zinc flotation circuits, respectively.

Industrial processing of mineral ores and concentrates generates large amounts of solid residues, which can be landfilled or further processed to recover selected elements depending on its economical profitability. Pressure leaching is a technology enabling high recovery of base metals like copper and zinc, transferring others like lead and iron to the solid residue. High temperature and pressure of such leaching leads to formation of sparingly soluble lead jarosite (plumbojarosite). The load of lead landfilled as solid residues resulting from such operation is so big that its recovery is perspective and crucial for waste-limiting technologies. This paper is devoted to lead extraction from pressure leaching residues using triethylenetetramine solution and then its precipitation as a commercial lead carbonate. The highest obtained recovery of lead was 91.3%. Additionally, presented technology allows to manage and recycle amine solution and reuse solid products. Produced pure lead carbonate can be directly added to smelting, not increasing temperature within the furnace.

ABSTRACTHigh concentrations of indium (In) and selenium (Se) have been reported in the Neves-Corvo volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposit, Portugal. The distribution of these ore metals in the deposit is complex as a result of the combined effects of early ore-forming processes and late tectonometamorphic remobilization. The In and Se contents are higher in Cu-rich ore types, and lower in Zn-rich ore types. At the deposit scale, both In and Se correlate positively with Cu, whereas their correlations with Zn are close to zero. This argues for a genetic connection between Cu, In and Se in terms of metal sourcing and precipitation. However, re-distribution and re-concentration of In and Se associated with tectonometamorphic deformation are also processes of major importance for the actual distribution of these metals throughout the whole deposit. Although minor roquesite and other In-bearing phases were recognized, it is clear that most In within the deposit is found incorporated within sphalerite and chalcopyrite. When chalcopyrite and sphalerite coexist, the In content in sphalerite (avg. 1400 ppm) is, on average, 2–3 times higher than in chalcopyrite (avg. 660 ppm). The In content in stannite (avg. 1.3 wt.%) is even higher than in sphalerite, but the overall abundance of stannite is subordinate to either sphalerite or chalcopyrite. Selenium is dispersed widely between many different ore minerals, but galena is the main Se-carrier. On average, the Se content in galena is ~50 times greater than in either chalcopyrite (avg. 610 ppm) or sphalerite (avg. 590 ppm). The copper concentrate produced at Neves-Corvo contains very significant In (+Se) content, well above economic values if the copper smelters recovered it. Moreover, the high In content of sphalerite from some Cu-Zn ores, or associated with shear structures, could possibly justify, in the future, a selective exploitation strategy for the production of an In-rich zinc concentrate.
