Abstract:
In order to solve the difficulty of high cost and wide industrialization in the traditional techniques of extracting potassium and aluminum from alunite, the alunite floated from the tailings of Zijin copper ore was processed by non-roasting pressure acid-leaching. Compared with normal pressure leaching process, it can not only improve the leaching ratio of K and Al to 95.73% and 98.54%, respectively, but also have simpler technological route and low cost. Based on experimental research, the optimal leaching parameters are leaching temperature of 220, acid to ore ratio (g/g) of 3:1, initial acid concentration of 25%, leaching time of 120 min and stirring rate of 600 r/min. Analysis of the high pressure acid leaching residue by X-Ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscope analysis indicates that crystal structure of alunite is completely destroyed, and the main chemical composition of leaching residue is SiO2. © 2016, Science Press.
