Title: A method for producing a bulk concentrate for recovery of precious metals
Inventor: KRASNOSHTEIN ARKADIY EVGENIEVI
IPC: B03B9/06
Filed: 2007-01-09
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing a bulk concentrate for extracting precious metals from clay-salt wastes of factories processing a potash-magnesium ore and rock salt. The inventive method is characterised in that it uses three hydrocyclones having a gradually reducing conicity (10~, 7~, 5~) for separating a solid material which is uniformly distributed in a liquid medium (saturated salt solutions) and embodied in the form of deposition coarse and fine fractions and a floated material in the form of a natural and synthetic organic substance. Sludges with a ratio S:L=1:3 are supplied for hydrocycling. The bulk concentrate produced from clay-salt wastes of the factories processing a potash-magnesium ore and rock salt is embodied in the form of a mixture of deposition and floated materials in the form of a water-insoluble sludge residues. The discharge of the second hydrocyclone in the form of a salt solution and the floated part of the water-insoluble sludge residues with the natural and synthetic organic substance are transported to a third hydrocycling stage. Said stage consists in separating the floted fraction with the natural and synthetic organic substance through a discharge nozzle and in combining it with concentrates of the first and second hydrocyclones. The salt solution in the form of a dressing process tailings is removed through a sand nozzle. Said invention makes it possible to obtain a concentrate containing a natural and synthetic organic substance comprising an important portion of precious metals and to reduce costs.
