20120164041 | Stabilization of Arsenic-Containing Wastes Generated During Treatment of Sulfide Ores - A method is provided for the efficient stabilization, removal and disposal of arsenic-containing wastes generated in metal recovery processes that employ roasting techniques and the like. The conversion of the mostly trivalent arsenite compounds in the wastes to mostly pentavalent solid arsenate precipitates is accomplished by mixing the wastes with water and a ground iron-containing mineral, such as goethite, to form an aqueous slurry of wastes and ground iron-containing mineral, acidifying the slurry to a pH of less than about 1.0, treating the acidified slurry with oxygen gas in a pressurized vessel at a temperature higher than about 120° C. and providing an oxidation catalyst comprised of a water-soluble nitrate and a water-soluble iodide. The overall efficiency of the controlling chemical reactions is improved by the addition and use of the catalyst. The resulting solid arsenate precipitates, in the form of scorodite, are ideally suited for safe disposal with minimum or no further treatment. Unconverted soluble trivalent arsenic compounds remaining in solution may be converted and precipitated as additional scorodite by mixing and agitating the slurry with soluble iron salts under controlled conditions. The resulting precipitates meet or exceed environmental requirements for impoundment and safe disposal. | 06-28-2012 |
