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
Globally copper silver and gold orebody grades have been dropping and the mineralogy surrounding them has become more diversified and complex The cyanidation process for gold production has remained dominant for over 130 years because of its selectivity and feasibility in the mining industry For this reason the industry has been adjusting its methods
9 Gold Extraction and Recovery Gold is one of the most valuable precious metals and the extraction techniques have changed with time There are new methods of extracting gold which have been developed and adopted by the modern miners instead of the former techniques like panning and mercury amalgamation; the new techniques include cyanidation and carbon
The gold in these ores is encapsulated in sulphide minerals such as pyrite arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite thus preventing the gold from being leached by cyanide The BIOX process destroys the sulphide minerals and exposes the gold for subsequent cyanidation thereby increasing the overall achievable gold recovery
Stage 3 hashing The hashing stage corresponding to metal extraction and recovery stages is a little more complex for gold ores as the optimal process flowsheet selection choice is heavily dependent on a good understanding of two fundamental geometallurgical parameters the gold mineralogical associations and the gold particle size and liberation
The aim of this paper is to present a systematic review of the mineral processing of gold ores with special focus on alternative leaching reagents to cyanide that can facilitate more sustainable extraction In line with this the most promising alternatives to cyanide leaching will be examined Physical processing techniques that can be
Gold telluride ores are important gold refractory ores due to the presence of sulfides and other gangue materials The classification and main physical properties of gold telluride ores were described and possible treatment methods including flotation leaching and oxidation were reviewed The results show that flotation procedures are much easier for gold
Gold grain size distribution is often described rather vaguely in literature with terms such as Fine grains It was however included in the model despite the possible loss of information related to its modelling The liberation characteristics of all valuable minerals affect the processing methods but gold was seen as the most defining
Stage 3 hashing The hashing stage corresponding to metal extraction and recovery stages is a little more complex for gold ores as the optimal process flowsheet selection choice is heavily dependent on a good understanding of two fundamental geometallurgical parameters the gold mineralogical associations and the gold particle size and liberation
This paper aims to summarize these studies and present a systematic review of the mineral processing of gold ores with a particular focus on alternative leaching reagents to cyanide that can facilitate cleaner extraction 2 Cyanide As early as 1806 Hagen discovered that gold is soluble in alkaline cyanide solution It did not draw any

The significance of gold mineralogical balances in planning detailed metallurgical testing and in the process optimization of difficult gold ores has been examined
Refractory gold ores generally contain sulphide minerals and as such a primary flotation stage is the obvious choice to concentrate the sulphides into a smaller mass for downstream pre treatment prior to cyanidation rather than whole of ore processing Gold sulphide flotation is relatively straightforward and ALS can seamlessly marry this
The principal gold minerals that affect the processing of gold ores are native gold electrum Au Ag tellurides aurostibite maldonite and auricupride In addition submicroscopic solid
Traditional surface processing for gold recovery is designed to achieve recovery through whole ore leaching This involves grinding 100 per cent of the ore into sub 50 75 micron particles The Python relies on coarser grinding much cheaper and preconcentration of the gold bearing minerals rather than liberation of the gold itself
In this process gold could be effectively recovered from the sulfide refractory gold ore with a recovery efficiency of % Graphical abstract Download Download high res image 118KB Download Download full size image; Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review 27 3 2006 pp 177 214 /08827500500339315 View in
Gold Associate Minerals Gold is often found associated with other minerals in nature Some common gold associated minerals include Ore Processing Once gold bearing ore is extracted from the ground it is usually processed to extract the gold particles Ore processing methods can vary depending on the type of gold deposit but commonly
The extractive metallurgy of gold is largely driven by mineralogical factors such as gold particle size; association with other minerals; coatings; presence of cyanicides oxygen consumers and preg robbers; presence of refractory gold minerals; and locking of submicroscopic gold in sulfide and sulfarsenide mineral structures Gold process mineralogy addresses all issues related to
