ABSTRACT

A gold mine in Myanmar is used as the research object in this paper. The thiosulfate-ethylenediamine-copper ion process conditions are discussed from the three aspects that affect the leaching effect: thiosulfate concentration, ethylenediamine concentration and copper ion concentration. It has certain significance for enriching the theory and practice of the system. The leaching conditions are: grinding fineness -74μm 95%, ammonium thiosulfate concentration is selected as 0.3mol/L, copper ion concentration is selected as 0.005mol/L, ethylenediamine concentration is selected as 0.06mol/L, and the pH value is adjusted to about 10, liquid to solid mass ratio of 3:1, stirring and leaching at room temperature for 7h, on this basis, the gold leaching rate is 81.05%.
