Double refractory gold ores (DRGO) are becoming increasingly attractive as a source of gold, owing to the depletion of easier to process ores. The double refractory behavior is a consequence of the preg-robbing of dissolved Au species (Au(CN) 2 − ) by carbonaceous matter and encapsulation of the gold in sulfide minerals such as pyrite …
Pressure oxidation of gold containing concentrates and ores is an effective pretreatment for liberating refractory gold. This is particularly true when an appreciable portion of the gold is associated with sulfides and is not amenable to conventional cyanidation. A brief review of the literature on pressure oxidation of refractory gold materials is presented. …
Abstract. Arsenious and sulphur-bearing micro-disseminated gold ore is a kind of typical refractory Carlin-Type. The gold in Carlin-Type gold ore grains is distributed finely, existing as invisible or …
The gold particles of ALRG gold ore are almost wrapped by pyrite and arsenopyrite, and the direct gold leaching extent is less than 40 %, making it an extremely refractory gold ore. The ore sample in this study has an extremely low gold content of 0.85 g·t −1, iron content of 3.21 %, sulfur content of 2.27 %, and arsenic content of 0.19 %.
Refractory gold evaluation testwork services. 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 ...
The above studies on microwave pyrolysis pretreatment of refractory gold ore focused on the gold carrier mineral pyrite, 38 and the control characteristics of the inert gas bringing out pyrolysis products during the microwave heating process have not been investigated. A study on the high arsenic content of HARGR microwave pyrolysis control ...
Gold, a significant precious metal, has high corrosion resistance, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity [].In the field of gold extraction and smelting, refractory gold ore is one of the most important gold resources at present [].Approximately 30% of the world's gold production is derived from refractory gold ore, and this proportion is …
Therefore, pretreatment of arsenic-bearing refractory gold has an extremely important significance. 3) In recent years, researches are mainly about the refractory gold leaching easily through arsenic removal to expose gold, changing the composition, physic-chemical and electro-chemical properties of the ore.
Several oxidation pretreatment methods have been proposed. Roasting is the primary method for pretreating refractory gold ores (Jin et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2019; Qin, 2021). However, it leads to significant air pollution, and therefore a new pretreatment …
KEY WORDS: arsenic-bearing gold ore; pretreatment process; refractory gold ore. 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,
Carbonaceous sulfidic gold ores are commonly double refractory and thus require pretreatment before gold extraction. In this paper, the capacity of pre-bio-oxidation can simultaneously decompose sulfides or deactivate carbonaceous matters (CM) from a double refractory gold ore (DRGO) using pure cultures of A. ferrooxidans or L. ferrooxidans, …
This paper presents the results obtained by processing a gold and silver telluride mineral concentrate from a mine in Colombia. An acid wash, also known as acidification, was …
Recovering gold from sulfide refractory gold ore has been an important guarantee for the sustainable development of gold industry, while there are many …
Li et˛al. 2006)efore, such a gold ore is regarded as refractory. With the depletion of free-milling gold resources, the utilization of˛refractory gold ore is imminent. The treat-ment process of refractory gold deposits can be divided into pretreatment and gold extraction. The pretreatment process
It is becoming increasingly apparent that pretreatment can be very expensive and as more plants are built and operated, better cost data is becoming available. ... Processing of refractory gold ores 1037 The oxidation tanks themselves are often configured in four stages with additional tanks employed in the first stage to …
Refractory gold ore is usually affected by the associated carbonaceous matter through the preg-robbing effect, which is eliminated by oxidation roasting, followed by leaching, to achieve a satisfactory gold leaching efficiency. ... Research status of carbonaceous matter in carbonaceous gold ores and bio-oxidation pretreatment. …
to increase the recovery of gold from arsenopyrite ores.The low poten- tial required to oxidize arsenopyrite in alkaline medium (Fig. 1)isthe main attraction for the application of this pretreatment.
Pretreatment and processing of refractory gold ore are becoming increasingly important and an inevitable trend for gold development due to the depletion of high-grade ores (Mabwe, 2020). Extraction of gold from refractory gold ore without any side reactions is a highly desirable process in the future ( Qin, Guo, Tian, & Zhang, 2021 ).
The microwave roasting of a double refractory gold ore was investigated. The TGA results showed that the three major reactions involved in the roasting process were; oxidation of pyrite, oxidation of the carbonaceous matter and the decomposition of carbonates. Both the real and the imaginary permittivities of the ore were relatively low …
Double refractory gold ore was sequentially pretreated to oxidize sulfides by thermophilic archaeon Acidianus brierleyi and then to decompose carbonaceous matters using the cell-free spent medium (CFSM)from white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The pretreatment by A. brierleyi significantly improved the gold recovery from 25% to 77%.
At present, the ways to solve the problem of refractory gold ore are mainly the following three aspects: (1)To oxidize and decompose the main mineral (mainly sulfide mineral) associated with the gold ore by pretreatment of gold ore before cyanidation, so that the encapsulated gold is dissociated and exposed, and some mineral components …

The use of thiosulfate to extract gold from refractory ores is promising because of its non-toxicity and high selectivity. Sulfide minerals (i.e., 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 …
