Beneficios del nitrato de plomo en Lixiviación para la recuperación de oro y plata

Por muchos años se ha estudiado el efecto negativo de los sulfuros en la lixiviación de minerales, encontrando que el Nitrato de Plomo contrarresta dichos efectos.

Este componente aporta grandes beneficios al proceso:

Se inhibe la disolución de sulfuros metálicos.
Reduce el acomplejamiento del cianuro.
Disminuye el consumo de cianuro.

Aumento de eficiencia con el uso de nitrato de plomo en el proceso de Lixiviación de minerales

Este componente brinda un incremento en la eficiencia durante la recuperación de oro mediante lixiviación de entre el 1 y 12%. Es posible gracias a sus propiedades que:

Evitan la pasivación del oro.
Reducen el consumo excesivo de cianuro.
Pasivan los sulfuros, formando capas de hidróxido de plomo o sulfato de plomo.

Lead nitrate mechanism of action at Merrill Crowe

Merrill Crowe is a widely used technology for precious metal deposition from cyanide solutions.

Cementation is the resulting process, whereby the metal ions in solution (Au⁺ and Ag⁺) are reduced to metal state while another, more electronegative metal (Zn°) is oxidized.

Does lead nitrate purity affect its performance during the process?

Lead nitrate impurities decrease its efficacy, since the higher the impurity content, the higher the amount of lead nitrate that will be needed to attain the same effect.

Personal protective equipment is required when handling lead nitrate

Staff must be equipped with PPE as follows:

Dust mask: For breathing protection as inhalation is harmful.
Latex gloves: To avoid exposure to the powder, which is soluble in water and can be dissolved by hand perspiration.
Safety goggles: Prevent eye exposure as lead nitrate can cause irritation.
Occupational attire: Wear industrial shoes and appropriate safety clothing when working in such environments.
