    摘要: A method for concurrently transporting and leaching metal values from an ore or concentrate containing said metal values from an originating site such as an elevated site to a delivery site comprising the steps of crushing and/or grinding the ore or concentrate to form a particulate having a size range suitable for transport by gravity or a combination of pumping and gravity as a solid constituent in an aqueous slurry, forming an aqueous slurry of from about 30 to about 70 percent by weight of said particulate in an aqueous medium, and adjusting said aqueous slurry to contain an effective amount of a lixiviant for dissolution of said metal values into the aqueous medium. The aqueous slurry with lixiviant is transported in an elongated pipeline under a static pressure and for a residence time sufficient for dissolution of a substantial portion of the metal values, and the aqueous medium with the metal values is separated from the solids constituent of the slurry by a hydrocone, settling tank, thickener, lagoon, pond or heap, or counter-current decantation or washing circuit for recovery of values therefrom. The ore or concentrate may contain metal oxides, metal sulphides, native metal or a combination thereof, such as for example, a copper oxide concentrate or an ore, and the lixiviant may be sulphuric acid.

    摘要: Lead-acid battery plates are made by preparing alloys of lead with at least one additive metal that can be leached with an acid or an alkali from the alloy leaving a porous permeable lead matrix. The additive metal must be evenly and finely dispersed in the lead. A number of additive metals can be used but the additive metal is preferably magnesium or zinc and magnesium, each in a preferred amount in the range of about 3 to 15% by weight. The lead alloy is prepared by casting, preferably by rapid solidification casting, and subsequently pulverizing the alloy. The resulting lead alloy particles are applied to a conventional lead alloy battery grid by pressing, causing the formation of a coherent plate of grid and alloy. The plate is subsequently leached in an alkali or an acid which causes the substantial removal of additive metal from the alloy leaving a coherent porous permeable layer of substantially lead as active material. The preferred leachant is sulfuric acid. Other leachants require careful removal of all traces from the lead matrix. The plates are used for both the positive and the negative plates. The negative plates are treated with an expander, preferably by vacuum impregnation. The positive and negative plates are assembled into a battery which is filled with electrolyte and charged. The fabrication time is reduced from 5 to 7 days for prior art batteries to about 1 to 2 days.

    摘要: Cyanide-containing solution is subjected to two-stage membrane electrolysis in units each comprising a cathode, an anode and one or more bipolar electrodes interspaced with cationic membranes defining alternating anode and cathode compartments containing anolyte and catholyte, respectively. Electrolysis causes generation of hydrogen cyanide in the recirculating first stage anolyte, and alkali metal hydroxide is formed in the recirculating first-stage catholyte. The hydrogen cyanide is stripped from the first stage anolyte and is subsequently absorbed in catholyte in an absorption unit for the recovery of alkali metal cyanide-containing solution. Partially cyanide-depleted first-stage anolyte is mixed with an amount of an alkali metal chloride and passed as second-stage anolyte through the second-stage unit for the generation of chlorine with destruction of residual cyanide in the anolyte and the formation of alkali metal hydroxide in the recirculating second-stage catholyte from which a portion is directed to the absorption. A substantially cyanide-free effluent is withdrawn from the circulating second-stage anolyte. To allow for the formation of solid precipitates in the anolyte of the membrane electrolysis stages, the width of the anode compartments may be increased to at least 5 mm. Electrolysis is carried out at current densities in the range of 20 A/m.sup. 2 to 350 A/m.sup.2 and at ambient temperatures.

    摘要: Zinc is selectively extracted from zinc sulfate solutions that may also contain sulfuric acid and amounts of other metals with an organic extractant mixture containing both organic substituted phosphoric acid and organic substituted thiophosphinic acid. The phosphoric acids are preferably chosen from mono- and di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acids and mixtures thereof, and the phosphinic acids are preferably chosen from bis- 2, 4, 4-trimethylpentyl mono- and dithiophosphinic acids. The use of an extractant mixture of the dithiophosphinic acid with mono- and di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acids or an extractant mixture of the dithiophosphinic acid with di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid is preferred. The pH during zinc extraction is controlled at a value in the range of about 1.3 to 5. Control of pH is carried out either by neutralization or by acid extraction with an organic amine-type extractant. The acid content of the feed solution may be reduced by neutralization or acid removal by dialysis. The solvent extraction of zinc or zinc and acid from feed solution may be carried out co-, counter- or cross-currently in one or more stages. The preferred extraction method is dualcircuit, side-by-side, simultaneous zinc and acid extraction. The use of the mixed extractant for zinc is more effective than extraction with the component extractants by themselves.

    摘要: A method for the recovery of acids from dilute aqueous acid solutions containing at least one metal cation such as Zn, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Mn, Al, Fe, Ni and Co comprises feeding solution to the dialyzate compartments of a dialysis unit. The dialyzate, substantially containing any metal cations, is removed from the process. The diffusate, containing the acid from the feed solution and being substantially free of metal cations, is fed into the dilute stream circulating through the diluate compartments of an electrodialysis unit. A portion of the circulating diluate is returned to the diffusate compartments of the dialysis unit. The concentration gradient of acid anions across the dialysis membranes is increased by adding a quantity of acid-receiving solution to the returned diluate portion. The feed rates of solutions to the compartments of the dialysis unit are at least double those in processes using only dialysis. A concentrate stream is recirculated through the concentrate compartments of the electrodialysis unit. The applied current causes an increase in the acid concentration in the concentrate. A portion of the concentrate is withdrawn as a concentrated acid product substantially free of metal cations. If desired, the acid concentration in the product is controlled by feeding a quantity of the diffusate from the dialysis into the circulating concentrate stream, as necessary. The dialysis is carried out at ambient temperatures up to 45.degree. C., and electrodialysis at from 0.degree. to 60.degree. C. and at 100 to 1000 A/m.sup.2.
