The invention discloses a novel gold-tellurium separation and extraction technology for tellurium-containing gold concentrates. The novel gold-tellurium separation and extraction technology comprisesthe steps that firstly, the tellurium-containing gold concentrates are subjected to fine grinding, so that gold and tellurium are exposed from wrapping of sulfide ores; then, the concentration and alkalinity of ore pulp are adjusted in a stirring leaching tank through water and NaOH, an environment-friendly gold leaching agent is added, and gold and tellurium are leached simultaneously; by utilizing the characteristic that activated carbon adsorbs gold selectively but does not adsorb tellurium, gold is adsorbed and separated in a leaching pregnant solution, and gold-bearing carbon is formed; and after being subjected to impurity removing through sulphurizing salt, the tellurium-containing pregnant solution is subjected to neutralizing hydrolysis through sulfuric acid, so that tellurium isprecipitated from the solution, a rough TeO2 product is formed, and effective separation and extraction of gold and tellium are achieved. The technological method is simple in process, environmentallyfriendly and free of pollution, and the recovery rates of gold and tellurium are high.
