Resumen

El presente estudio evalúa la influencia del ion etilendiaminotetraacético (EDTA4-) en la lixiviación de plata a partir de relaves mineros utilizando tiourea (TU, CS(NH₂)₂) como agente lixiviante. Para caracterizar la muestra, se emplearon las técnicas de Difracción de Rayos X (DRX), Espectrometría de Emisión Óptica con Plasma Acoplado Inductivamente (ICP-OES) y Fluorescencia de Rayos X (FRX). Posteriormente, se investigó el efecto de la concentración de EDTA y la temperatura en la eficiencia de lixiviación de plata (Ag) y disolución de cobre (Cu) y hierro (Fe). Los resultados experimentales muestran que la máxima lixiviación de plata fue de 94% y esta se alcanzó con una concentración de TU = 0.3 M L-1 y EDTA = 0.007 M L-1, a una temperatura de 65°C, un pH de 1.5 y una velocidad de agitación de 800 min-1 en un volumen de solución de 0.5 L.
