Gold Metallurgy and Leaching Process

Leaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, etc., to achieve either one or …

Sulphide Gold Ore Treatment by Leaching and Flotation

Problem with gold recovery from sulphide ore: How may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return.This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of all the ore will report very low gold content in the tailings …

INFLUENCE OF LEAD NITRATE ON CYANIDE LEACHING …

NaCN and 0.1 kg/Mg of lead nitrate. A further increase of lead nitrate to 0.3 kg/Mg resulted in the decrease of Au and Ag leach recovery by comparing with the test of 0.2 kg/Mg lead nitrate, indicating the formation of Pb(OH) 2 passive layer on gold. Besides, NaCN consumption increased from 0.24 kg/Mg without lead nitrate to 0.27

INFLUENCE OF LEAD NITRATE ON CYANIDE LEACHING OF GOLD …

Effect of lead nitrate addition on cyanidation of Havran, Ovacik, Mastra LCu (low copper) and Mastra HCu (high copper) gold ores was investigated by laboratory tests at the Ovacik Gold Mine Metallurgy Laboratory. Leach tests were performed at optimum NaCN additions and pH values while different lead nitrate additions were applied. Ovacik cyanidation plant …

Improvements in gold ore cyanidation by pre-oxidation with …

This may result in dissolved oxygen starvation for the oxidative leaching of the gold, and ultimately it will reduce the maximum attainable recovery of gold from the ore. ... 2005, Ubaldini et al., 2000, Muravyov and Bulaev, 2013); chemical oxidation with O 2 enriched air, high pressure, and/or lead nitrate (Deschênes and Wallingford, 1995 ...

Effects of pyrite, quartz and sodium sulfite on roasting of a

This study takes a silver-containing gold ore as the research object and investigates the effect of (i) sodium sulfite as an additive, (ii) main gold-bearing mineral pyrite, and (iii) gangue mineral quartz, on silver during the roasting process in roasting and leaching tests. Characterization techniques included scanning electron microscopy ...

The mechanisms of pyrite oxidation and leaching: A fundamental

Pyrite is the earth's most abundant sulfide mineral.Its frequent undesirable association with minerals of economic value such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena, and precious metals such as gold necessitates costly separation processes such as leaching and flotation.Additionally pyrite oxidation is a major contributor to the environmental problem of acid …

The Use of Oxygen in Gold Cyanidation

Oxygen demand of each gold ore is dependent on the pyrite content and its mineralogical origin. The oxidation of sulphide ion into sulphate and iron into ferric ion during pretreatment is beneficial to subsequent cyanide consumption. Gold leaching optimization studies were performed with one gold ore sample.

Leaching Kinetics and Mechanisms of Surface Reactions During

This paper quantifies the detrimental effects of pyrite and stibnite on gold leaching kinetics. Means to reduce the effect of these minerals by addition of lead nitrate and oxygen are presented. A significant retarding effect was observed when the pyrite concentration was 20%. A pretreat- ment with lead nitrate reduced the extent of gold surface coating by Ag, Fe and S. Stibnite, at a ...

RICH GOLD ORE BY AMMONIA ASSISTED CYANIDE …

pretreatment process ahead of cyanide leaching was also examined. Only ~12% of gold was extracted by direct cyanide leaching of the ore. The addition of lead nitrate did not affect the leaching of gold. When ammoniacal cyanide leaching system was used, the extraction of gold was significantly improved to >90%.

Occasionally pyrite may also carry dispersions of valuable metals such as gold and is sometimes mined for this [3], in addition pyrite is commonly used for production of sulfuric acid [4]. Pyrite oxidation is economically important in mineral flotation and leaching, two industrial methodologies used to separate pyrite from other minerals of value.

The application of lead nitrate in combination with oxygen generated the best results. Gold extraction of 96% can be obtained with cyanide consumption of 0.51 kg/t and lime consumption of 0.60 kg/t in 24 hours.

Control of lead nitrate addition in gold recovery

A method for controlling the extraction of gold from a gold ore by the cyanidation process in which a leaching step including the addition of a lead compound, which is typically lead nitrate or other lead salt, is used. In order to maintain stable conditions in the leaching process, and to use the leaching reagents efficiently, an analysis step is used to monitor the concentration of ...
