Abstrakti

Ni- and Cu-rich concentrate from a new site in Suhanko, Finland, was investigated. Mineral phases identified included talc, chalcopyrite, kaolinite, and pyrrhotite with 3.2% Cu and 1.5% Ni, and the latter is associated with pyrrhotite. In addition, the concentrate contained the precious elements Pd (14.9 g/t), Ag (17.1 g/t), Pt (2.1 g/t), and Au (1.1 g/t). This concentrate was baked and leached using a Fe(III)-Cl--H2SO4 system. The results showed that the leaching efficiencies of Ni, Cu, and Si from raw concentrate were 60%, 40%, and 5%; however, those from baked concentrate were 96%, 60%, and below 0.1%, indicating that the baking process enhanced Ni and Cu extraction while simultaneously inhibiting the dissolution of Si, which was due to the baking process liberating the associated Ni and Cu by the oxidation of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite and converting the acid-soluble silicate into an insoluble form. Sulfuric acid leaching solution with Fe(III) as oxidant and Cl- as lixiviant was shown to be effective at leaching Ni (97%), Cu (62%), and Ag (89%), while simultaneously enriching the PMs Pd, Pt, and Au in the residue.
