Problems related to the effective processing of refractory gold ores containing carbon and arsenic are discussed In the search for technologies for the extraction of gold from such ores including those obtained from the Sayak 4 gold deposit pyrometallurgical processing represents a possible direction The results of an experimental study of the Reducing
The initial results for the cyanide leach gold recoveries were very poor on a high grade primary sulphide ore of g/t Au with no silver Subsequent mineralogy showed the ore to be a characteristic pyrite carbonaceous refractory gold ore double refractory This was a very disappointing finding A small scale gravity and flotation test programme was developed to
1 Introduction Gold ores are considered refractory if gold extractions from a conventional cyanidation process are less than 80% even after fine grinding 1 Arsenic bearing refractory gold ore has stones extremely difficult to deal with In the stones gold is locked up in arsenic mineral matrix as the form of microscopic or submicroscopic lattice
For the past 100 years the key element in the processing of gold ore has been the cyanidation the years steady improvements have occurred in equipment design; milling has evolved from stamp mills through tube mills and ball mills to the large semiautogenous grinding SAG and fully autogenous grinding FAG circuits in modern gold
The extraction of gold from refractory gold ores RGOs without side reactions is an extremely promising endeavor However most RGOs contain large amounts of sulfide such as pyrite Thus investigation of the influence of sulfide on the gold leaching process is important to maximize the utilization of RGOs In this work the effects of pyrite on the stability of the
Recovering gold from sulfide refractory gold ore has been an important guarantee for the sustainable development of gold industry while there are many challenges in the treatment of sulfide
Refractory gold ores and concentrates are characterised by low gold recoveries and high cyanide consumptions when subjected to direct cyanide leaching advancements in high tech and rapid uptake of electronic equipment will see increased demand over the coming decades for so called critical metals metals considered important to
The BIOX ® process for the treatment of refractory gold concentrates has been in commercial operation for 35 years following the commissioning of the first commercial installation at the Fairview Gold Mine in 1986 The process has been proven to operate successfully over a wide range of concentrate feed grades and mineralogies climatic
Even if you gold is refractory in pyrite or arsenopyrite you can still get much value from your ore/rock depending on the economics of capital and operating cost The cheapest and fastest option is to simply grind and CIL the whole thing according the
148 PRECIOUS METALS PROCESSING Recovering refractory resources Refractory gold ore needs pre treatment for cyanidation to be effective in gold recovery Ailbhe Goodbody looks at the advantages and disadvantages of the most common pre treatment options and speaks to some companies that offer or use the processes A refractory gold ore is
4 However extracting gold from quartz vein gold ore is a meticulous process that requires careful planning and execution 1 Cyanide gold extraction includes crushing The main advantage of using this method is that it can efficiently recover gold from low grade or refractory ores which are challenging to process using traditional methods
The initial results for the cyanide leach gold recoveries were very poor on a high grade primary sulphide ore of g/t Au with no silver Subsequent mineralogy showed the ore to be a characteristic pyrite carbonaceous refractory gold ore double refractory This was a very disappointing finding A small scale gravity and flotation test programme was developed to

All the mercury handling equipment was installed in a separate building to isolate mercury from the rest of the process equipment A provision was also made for installation of an electrolytic cell to produce metallic mercury as product while regenerating the chlorine gas Refractory gold ore processing Paper Presented at Annual TMS
The global decrease in ore mineral grades and increase in ore mineralogical complexity has triggered the modern mining industry and research communities to search for efficient methods of processing ores which were initially considered uneconomic [1 2] Gold bearing copper minerals are common occurrences in many gold deposits and are generally
The use of thiosulfate to extract gold from refractory ores is promising because of its non toxicity and high selectivity Sulfide minerals pyrite arsenopyrite chalcopyrite major gold carriers in refractory gold ores however hinder gold extraction due to the high consumption of a lixiviant In this study a new method to improve gold extraction from sulfide
