The invention relates to the field of hydrometallurgy and can be used for complex processing of carbon-silica ores.

It is known that the hard carbon-siliceous black shale ore, in particular, the ore deposits of Malasauskas (North-Western Karatau), contain vanadium, and uranium, molybdenum and rare earth elements (REE).

The main part of vanadium (55%) mentioned the ore is contained in the form of sulfides (petronic V5S5; Vx2+Sy), 35% in the form of CR # (V2+O·V23+O3); montroseite (V, Fe)O·OH), and the remaining 10% are presented sredneetazhnye micas MeV3+[V4+·Si3O10]·[OH]2; Famicom BAV display3+2(Si·V4+)4O10·4H2O; bronzes (MeV4+-V5+O4); kazachstanicum (Fe3V4+·V5+12O23·8,55H2O) and soluble minerals - vanadates MeV5+O4and hewettite CaV6O16·9H2O. Thus, the main form of vanadium mineralization in black shales is patronic.

Sulfides and Spinelli are refractory (resistant) and their oxidation and dissolution occurs only in relatively harsh conditions, at elevated temperature (>100°C) and concentrations of solvent. This fact largely determines not the residual degree of extraction of vanadium (52-82%) in sulfuric acid leaching of black shale ores.

There is a method of processing vanadium-containing raw materials, including carbon quartzite Karatau (EN 2374344 C2, NGO vanadium catalyst"; "Firm "Balausa", 27.11.2009). This technology involves a two-stage heap (percolation) leaching of vanadium from ores hole size (0.01 to 0.6 m) by laying it in a heap with simultaneous mixing with concentrated sulfuric acid with a flow rate of at least 30 kg/t and leaching of vanadium in the first stage, working parent sorption density of irrigation 3.5-4.5 l/m2and the number of cycles of at least three, doreplace the reverse of the manifold sorption sulfuric acid to its content of 8.0-8.5% and feed them to the pile in the second stage leach. The sorption of vanadium is carried out at a pH of not more than 1.3 and 1.5.

The disadvantages of this method are the low extraction of vanadium from ores downhole particle size of about 75%, and the absence of associated extraction of other valuable metals (uranium, molybdenum, REE).

There is also known a method for integrated processing of carbon vanadium-uranium ore Karatau (V.A. Kozlov and other Complex processing quartzite Karatau. VIII all-Russian conference 26-29 September 2000, houseboy. Vanadium, chemistry, technology, applications. Abstracts, p.146). The method comprises grinding the ore to a particle size of 50-70 mm, heap leaching concrete is sulfuric acid, subsequent conditioning solutions and sorption of vanadium and uranium anion exchanger AMP. Their subsequent desorption is carried out separately - uranium solution of ammonium nitrate and sulfuric acid at a pH of 1-1,5, and vanadium solution of ammonium nitrate and ammonia at a pH of 8.2 is 8.7. Uranium and vanadium decorate can be recycled to the commodity nitrous-oxide of uranium and vanadium pentoxide by known methods. Quartzite after heap leaching can be utilized as a flux in obtaining high-carbon ferrochrome and yellow phosphorus.

The disadvantage of this method is the unattainability of a sufficiently high extraction of vanadium, uranium and other valuable components of the pieces of ore so large (50-70 mm) (≥70%)in which the diffusion of oxidant and solvent to a significant portion of the target mineralization is almost impossible for any affordable length of the process. In addition, there is accompanying extraction of scarce and expensive metals such as molybdenum and rare earth elements (lanthanides + yttrium).

The method for extracting uranium, molybdenum and vanadium from silicate ores (EN 2211253 C2, sue VNIIHT", 27.08.2003), in which the oxidant is used, the anion exchange resin in OH-form when creating the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) -50 to +150 mV. Such redox potential does not allow Vyselki is the substance of the uranium, molybdenum, vanadium and REE from shale ores, for which it is necessary to maintain the value of the redox potential for leaching within 400-470 mV. In addition, in this method, the sorption of metals from the ore pulp, not from solutions leads to increased specific consumption of the anion due to its abrasion (grinding).

The known method for integrated processing of uranium-vanadium ore deposits Ore (Central desert), containing ~0.1 and 1.0% of the uranium and vanadium, respectively (Smirnov I.P., and other Modern trends in the development of the technology integrated use of uranium-vanadium and non-traditional (man-made) vanadium raw materials. Strategy use and development of mineral resources of rare metals of Russia in XXI century. Volume 2. Reports of the International Symposium, 5-9 October 1998, M.: "minerals", No. 7, VIMS, 2000, s-175). Rocks are represented carbonaceous shales. The main part of vanadium (~80%) is in the form of a relatively hard mineralization - roscoelite and detonite, while the smaller part is in the form of lewkowskiej of organovanadium - carnotite and tyuyamunite. Vanadium minerals are predominantly micron particle size and dispersed in the ore body. It is suggested to sulfuric acid oxidizing leaching of vanadium and uranium from ore at 130-150°C and the residual acidity of the pulp 15-20 sec with the addition of potassium compounds for the deposition of trivalent iron in the form of potassium jarosite to a residual concentration of iron 1-3 g/l, and then spend the sorption of uranium and vanadium from the pulp of obtaining their merchandise oxides. This method allows to achieve maximum extraction of uranium and vanadium in commodity products, respectively, 97%and 80%.

The disadvantages of this method include the additional use of potassium compounds is not high enough the extraction of vanadium from ores.

Closest to the proposed invention to the technical essence and the achieved result is a method for processing refractory carbon-siliceous black shale ores described in Ambatovy ACTING "Development of technology of production of metavanadate ammonium from black shale deposits of Malasauskas". The dissertation on competition of a scientific degree of candidate of technical Sciences, Republic of Kazakhstan, Almaty, 2010 - prototype.

According to the method prototype black shale ore (containing ~1,1% V2O5and humidity ~10%) crush (crush) particle size up to 25 mm, then the crushed ore is treated for 2 h with sulfuric acid (flow rate of 140 kg/t) in order to saturate its pores and cracks of the lumps of ore, the temperature rises to 45°C. Then, this ore is subjected to heat treatment preferably at 140°C and atmospheric pressure for 4 h (in particular in a rotary kiln), the so-called sulfatization, with the aim of opening (oxidative destruction) is of levidow and CR#, containing vanadium in the lower (V2+; V3+) oxidation States and its transfer in acid-soluble form of sulphate vanadyl VOSO4when the redox potential is not higher than 450 mV, with no oxidation of the vanadium to the pentavalent state.

The thus prepared black shale ore is formed in the ore pile and subjected to heap leaching in two stages: the first stage of water at T:W=1:2 with obtaining productive solution having a pH of 1.4 and concentration 2,39 g/l V2O5when the degree of extraction of vanadium from ores 43,8% and in the second stage leach solution with a concentration of 30 g/l H2SO4if T:W=1:0.5 to obtaining a productive solution (pH 0,8)containing 1,93 g/l V2O5. In the two-stage leach, the average concentration of components in a productive solution is, g/l: 2,10 V2O4; 0,06 U; 0,06 Mo; 0,01 Σ; 60 Fe; 63,4 Al; 91,5 P.

The extraction of vanadium, uranium and molybdenum from the pregnant solution is carried out by anion-exchange sorption. First by collective anion-exchange sorption of uranium and molybdenum at a pH of 1.3-1.5, in particular, with the use of anion exchange resin Ambersep 920. Then spend the conditioning of mother solutions in the pH value with NaHCO3(flow rate of 8 kg/m3) and ORP using hydrogen peroxide (flow rate 60%H2 2equal to 1 l/m3for oxidation of vanadium in the pentavalent state. Then from the mother liquor absorb vanadium anion exchange resin Ambersep 920 with its saturation up to 300-350 kg/t V2O5. The mother liquor sorption sent for heap leaching, and the anion on Considine its vanadium up to 400-450 kg/t V2O5using synthetic solution with a concentration of decavanadate acid (H6V10O28equal to ~15 g/l and at a pH of 2.5-3.5. This allows taking into account the subsequent leaching sulfuric acid solution saturated vanadium anion exchange resin at T:W=1:3 to achieve a high (98%) purity of the anion and vanadium product from impurities, including phosphorus.

Desorption of vanadium spend solution mixtures of ammonium nitrate (150-200 g/l) and ammonia at a pH of 8.5 and a temperature of 30-35°C with separation in the solid phase metavanadate ammonium NH4VO3formed within 15 hours. After filtering receive metavanadate as a ready-vanadium product and the filtrate, which is used in the turnover for the preparation of Stripping solution. The anion exchange resin after Stripping of vanadium recharges in SO42-form using a sulfuric acid solution and recycle on stage sorption of vanadium.

The main disadvantages of the prototype method are low vanadium recovery from the carbon-silica Chernokozovo the ore, equal to about 52%, the expenditure of significant amounts of sodium bicarbonate (8 kg/m3productive solution), and the absence of associated extraction of scarce and expensive REE.

Carbon-siliceous black shale ore containing, in wt.%; 0,52 V; ~0,02 U; 0,03 Mo and ~0,06 Σ, represented mainly by dysprosium (0,010-0,020%), gadolinium (0,025%), samarium (0,020%); and 0,012% yttrium and about 10% carbon, crushed up by 0.2 mm In the form of a slurry at T:W=1:0,8 crushed ore is fed to the first stage oxidizing sulfuric acid leaching of vanadium, uranium, molybdenum, REE when mixed with sulfuric acid liquor of the second stage of leaching at atmospheric pressure, T:W=1:1,5; a temperature of 60-70°C, pH of 1.3-1.5; ORP=400-430 mV for 2 h in the presence of ferric ions (and possibly ions, pentavalent vanadium) as oxidant.

The resulting slurry is conditioned to pH 1.8-to 2.2-crushed original ore (or other alkaline neutralizer character) and divide it by filtering the productive solution containing Vana is s (4+) in the form of VOSO 4, uranium, molybdenum, REE and a solid phase in the form of a cake. KEK is directed to the second stage leach - autoclave oxidative acid leaching at a temperature of 140°C, T:W=1:(1.0 to 2.0), the final concentration of sulfuric acid 40 g/l, with a duration of 2 h in the presence of oxygen-containing gas (technical oxygen or compressed air) as the oxidant, with the addition in the leach slurry nitrogen-containing substances, in particular, acid blend (89% HNO3) or nitric acid or sodium nitrite (or other substances)that form in the leaching of nitrogen oxide as catalyst for the oxygen oxidation while maintaining the redox potential of the aqueous phase of the pulp, equal 430-450 mV.

The total consumption of sulfuric acid in the first and second stages of leaching is ~140 kg/t ore. In the second stage of leaching is also served with wash water generated during the washing of the insoluble residue autoclave leaching and nitrogen-containing substances generated during the cleaning of waste gases from nitrogen oxides.

The presence of oxygen in the gas-vapor phase of the autoclave causes the oxidation formed during leaching practically insoluble in the aqueous phase of the pulp of nitric oxide NO:

2NO+O2=2NO2.

Subsequent contact NO2with NO and water vapor and pulp is riodic to the formation of nitric acid and reactive oxidant, as nitrous acid, HNO2:

2NO2+H2O=HNO3+HNO2;

NO+NO2=N2O3;

N2O3+H2O=2HNO2.

Thus, there is a continuous regeneration of nitric oxide with oxygen as oxidant in HNO3(and HNO2)that allows the use of NO as a catalyst for the oxidation of vanadium (2+) (3+) vanadium (4+), and sulfides.

Received leached slurry is separated using a filter on the liquor content, g/l: 2,6 V; 0,15 U; 0,17 Mo; 0,28 Σ which is sent to the first stage leaching is relatively easily soluble parts of vanadium and excess sulfuric acid, and the insoluble residue, which is washed with (a part of the mother liquor sorption of REE and additionally water). Then, the washing water is served on the second stage of leaching, and the washed insoluble residue sent for recycling in a known manner. The residual content in the insoluble residue, %: 0,03 V; 0,003 U; 0,006 Mo; 0,0128 Σ.

Thus, the degree of extraction of shale ore target metals in the pregnant solution, %: 92,8 V; 91,2 U; 90,8 Mo; 81,2 Σ.

Exhaust nitrous gases of the second stage leaching clear of nitrogen oxides in a known manner and the resulting nitrogen-containing substances are served by autoclave leaching. So, the content is existing in the exhaust gas nitrogen oxides convert (regenerate) in nitric acid in a known manner, for example, described in patent US 6264909, Drinkard, 24.07.2001.

This method of regeneration of HNO3involves the oxidation of nitric oxide 5-65%nitric acid:

4NO(g)+2HNO3(in)→3N2O3(b)+H2O

with the formation of the oxide from the oxidation of nitrogen equal to 3.

In the case of the presence of additives dissolved in the aqueous phase of such catalysts, as nitrite ionsNO-2or N2O3the reaction of NO oxidation proceeds rapidly and quantitatively.

Simultaneously in the aqueous phase flows through the redox reaction between dissolved N2O3and O2:

N2O3(in)+O2(in)+H2O→2HNO3(in)

and the response:

3NO2(in)+H2O→2HNO3+NO(in)

2NO2(in)+H2O→HNO3+HNO2

with the formation of nitric and nitrous acids, which are used for autoclave leaching of vanadium and other target metals.

Thus, the regeneration of nitric acid allows you to provide a return (recycling) of its principal amount (not less than 75-80%) in the process of leaching the ore.

From the pregnant solution containing ≤130 g/l of sulfate ions, first extract by anion-exchange sorption together with uranium and molybdenum at a pH of 1.8 to 2.2 and ORP solution of about 430 mV and a temperature not above 60°C. as a sorbent can be the used in particular, the anion exchange resin AMP or Ambersep 920.

Saturated with uranium and molybdenum anion exchange resin are sent to their desorption and obtaining uranium and molybdenum products by known methods. The regenerated anion exchange resin return on the operation of the sorption of uranium and molybdenum.

In the mother solution, sorption of uranium together with the molybdenum containing 3 mg/l U, 4 mg/l Mo and having a pH of 1.8 to 2.2, oxidize vanadium (4+) to vanadium (5+) by bringing the ORP of the solution to 750-800 mW using, in particular, hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of H2O2in the solution may range from 1.0 to 1.5 g/l and a flow rate of 60%H2O2about 1 l/m3. After that absorb vanadium (5+) at a temperature not exceeding 60°C, in particular, the anion exchange resin Ambersep 920.

Then saturated vanadium up to 350 kg/t of anion exchange resin Donatist vanadium up to 650 kg/t with part V of decorativ or vanadium-containing solution obtained by dissolving a certain amount of crystals metavanadate ammonium, preferably their fines. Considine of the anion vanadium greatly pre decarbonate of his limited impurities including phosphorus.

Subsequent desorption of vanadium in a known manner, for example, at a temperature of 30-35°C with solutions of ammonium nitrate (150-200 g/l), brought to pH 8.5 with ammonia, allows you to achieve virtually the ski quantitative solid-phase desorption of vanadium (99%) obtaining crystals of metavanadate ammonium NH 4VO3(MVA) of the desired high quality.

After desorption, the anion of the form nitrate translate (recharge) in the sulfate form by treatment with a solution of sulfuric acid and recycle on the operation of the sorption of vanadium.

Anion-exchange sorption using anion-exchange Ambersep 920 allows you to ensure the extraction of vanadium from the oxidized solution in the range of 96-98%, and the vanadium concentration in the mother solution is 60 to 80 mg/L. Considering the issue of reducing the concentration of vanadium in the mother solution at its anion-exchange sorption, it is necessary to note that when Cv≤1·10-3mol/l and pH 2-3 vanadium (5+is in cationic form VO2+forming unstable anionic complexes with sulfate ions VO2SO4-(see, Ivakin A.A., Voronova AM, J. Norgan. chem., 1973, V.28, No. 7, s). Only when the concentration of vanadium (5+in the solution flows through the reversible reaction of polymerization of dissocation VO2+with the formation of a stable decavanadate anions H2V10O284-

10VO+2+8H2O↔H2V10O284-+14H+

You should also consider not only the concentration of vanadium (5+in solution, but also the impact on the equilibrium of this reaction, and the presence in the solution of SO42-ions, the actuator is related to the decrease in the concentration of H 2V10O284-anions due to the formation of sulfate complexes with dioxaborinane vanadium (5+).

Maintaining in the mother solution, sorption of vanadium temperature up to 60°C leads to the destruction of residual hydrogen peroxide and reduction of the redox potential to ≤350 mV.

From mother solutions sorption produce vanadium cation exchange sorption of REE at pH 1.8-to 2.2, the AFP is not above 350 mV and a temperature not exceeding 60°C, in particular, cation exchange resin KU-2-8h or Ambersep 1200 N. the degree of REE extraction from the solution reaches ~98%, and their residual concentration in the mother solution, sorption 6-10 mg/L. Rich REE cation sent to their desorption and obtaining the target product in a known manner, and the cation exchanger after desorption recycle again to the operation of sorption. One part stock solution sorption of REE may apply to the washing of the insoluble residue from the liquor, and the other part - for recycling in a known manner, for example, to obtain alum or lime to precipitate impurities (Fe, Al, and others) and purified water to return it to the process (ore preparation, water washing the insoluble residue).

It should be noted that the ion exchange sorption and desorption of uranium, molybdenum, vanadium, REE is carried out in the units column type in the columns of the CPC, INPM, CDS and other fixed layer and the Nita, showed high efficacy (see Nesterov Y. Methods of processing multicomponent productive solutions. In kN. Underground leaching multi-element ores. Under. Ed. by Acad. Laverov N.P.): From the Academy of mining Sciences, 1998, s-224; Nesterov Y. Ion exchangers and ion exchange. Sorption technology in the extraction of uranium and other metals by the method of underground leaching. - M.: OOO UNICOR-IZDAT", 2007, s).

The total degree of extraction of the target metals on the operations of the leaching and sorption, %: 91,8 V; 94,2 U; 93,8 Mo; 78,2 Σ, i.e. in comparison with the method of the prototype, the degree of extraction of the ore, vanadium, uranium and molybdenum respectively 1.76, 1,26 of 1.88 and time when the specific consumption of sulfuric acid (about 140 kg/t ore), not exceeding such on the prototype method.

Thus, patent-pending method for processing carbon-siliceous black shale ores can significantly increase the degree of extraction of valuable metals such as vanadium, uranium, molybdenum, and increase the complexity of application of ore due to the additional associated for rare-earth product with a relatively high degree of extraction of the sum of the REE (~78%).
