摘要

The behavior of iron during the two-stage countercurrent pressure leaching of zinc sulfide concentrate was systematically investigated to elucidate its regulation mechanisms. In the first stage, controlled conditions (120 °C, 0.2 MPa O2, 60 g/L H2SO4) suppressed Fe3+ hydrolysis and jarosite formation, facilitating the efficient Fe2+ transfer into the leachate. In the second stage, high oxygen pressure (0.8 MPa) promoted the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+, enhancing mineral dissolution, while the residual acid (~50 g/L) inhibited Fe3+ precipitation. As a result, over 98% of Zn and 81% of Fe were extracted, with Fe primarily present as Fe2+ in the first-stage solution, while a small fraction remained as pyrite in the residue. Lead and sulfur were concentrated as lead sulfate and elemental sulfur, respectively. These findings provide a practical approach for optimizing Fe control, contributing to the optimization and sustainability of zinc pressure leaching processes.
