Sulfide ores must first be roasted. Pulverize the ore and place it in an oven, campfire, or hot coals for about an hour, or roast out the sulfides with a blowtorch or blowpipe. Then place the ore in a glass container and cover it with nitric acid until all reaction ceases. Gold will not react with the nitric as will pyrite, silver, and most ...

Flotation test work on high throughput Ore B indicated that gold can also be concentrated to an extent by concentrating the sulphide component in the ore to mass pulls of 15 to 30 wt%, with gold recovery of 60 to 70%. Maximum Au, Ag and sulphide recoveries of 70%, 45% and 89% respectively were obtained at a grind size of P 80 of 70µm at a ...

When present in sulfide ore bodies, the gold, although still elemental in form, is so finely disseminated that concentration by methods such as those applied to alluvial gold is impossible. Native gold is the most common …

The sulfide minerals partially decompd. in the pre-treatment process, exposing gold to the leach soln. Oxygen input by air bubbling and a longer contact time enhanced the oxidative ammonia pre-treatment process and hence accelerated subsequent thiosulfate leaching of the sulfide ore. Gold extn. in 0.8 M ammonia and 0.1 M …

Lime is the most common reagent used in sulphide minerals flotation, and its use in the flotation of the most common ore systems was reviewed in this paper. Lime plays a critical role by influencing collector adsorption on the different minerals, while also controlling dispersion of clays, pulp rheology, settling of particles in the thickeners ...

The effect of pH value on gold extraction for various ore types is shown in Figure 28.4. Greatly increasing pH value has a beneficial effect on gold extraction for both oxide and sulfide ores and stabilizes ∼pH 9.5–10.0, whereas for some carbonaceous ores, pH value has no apparent effect. However, the outcome will vary depending on the ...

A gold carbonaceous sulphide ore from California carrying free gold yielded a 93 per cent recovery into a concentrate at 14.4:1 to ratio of concentration after conditioning with 0.50 lb. per ton of reagent 645. In each case the ore was ground to about 70 per cent minus 200 mesh and conditioned at 22 per cent solids with the reagents as indicated.

With high sulphide gold ore break it down and seperate it till all you see is the yellow shiny stuff then take that and put it into a hydrocloric acid solution and let it sit for a week or so swirling it in bottom of container occasionally. Pour off your acid and save in another container so you can use it later just add a little new ...

A comprehensive description of roasting practice is to be found in a series of articles entitled "Roasting Gold-Silver Sulphide Ores and Concentrates" by M. W. von Bernewitz. A more recent paper, " Roasting of Arsenical Gold Ores and Concentrates" by F. R. Archibald contains a bibliography listing 23 references on the subject of ...

Gold ores are classified "free-milling" and "refractory" based on their response to cyanide dissolution. Bioprocessing can be used to treat refractory gold-bearing sulfide …

3. Gold-bearing quartz vein ore containing a small amount of sulfide. This ore is most common in gold-bearing quartz veins ore and generally contains 1% to 5% of metal sulfides. According to the state of gold production, it can be divided into two types: one is associated with sulphide ore, another is associated with gangue minerals such …

This chapter describes the production of concentrates containing the platinum-group metals (PGMs). South Africa is the largest primary producer of PGMs followed by Russia. South African ores typically contain 3–4 g/tonne of PGM ore, which becomes 100–200 g/tonne after flotation. There are two main types of ores namely; feldspathic ...

I have high sulfide ore from Colorado, I roasted my cons for 3hrs, I ran a magnet thru the cons, I mixed 40g of my ore with 120g of standard flux from Action Mining. Heated my oven to 1900 degrees, let it there for 30 minutes. Than poured it into a cone mold, out pops the lead button, I broke off the glass and put the lead in the Kepel at 1750 ...

Processing of gold ores with high sulfide minerals is problematic as they consume cyanide and reduce gold leaching. Optimization of gold leaching and cyanide consumption requires a methodology to ...

RECOVERY OF SILVER, GOLD, AND LEAD FROM A COMPLEX SULFIDE ORE USING FERRIC CHLORIDE, THIOUREA, AND BRINE LEACH SOLUTIONS By R. G. Sandberg 1 and J. L. Huiatt 2 ABSTRACT The Bureau of Mines investigated a hydrometallurgical procedure to re­ cover gold, silver, and byproduct lead from a complex lead-zinc sulfide …

Abstract. Gold is present in refractory sulfide gold ores mainly in arsenian pyrite and arsenopyrite, where it occurs in both the chemically bonded state and as nano-size grains of metallic gold. During roasting or pressure oxidation, the sulfide matrix is destroyed and essentially all the gold is converted to the metallic form.

A. Charitos, in Gold Ore Processing (Second Edition), 2016. Abstract. Gold roasting is a process, applicable to refractory ores and concentrates that contain sulfide sulfur, organic carbon, and potentially arsenic. Removal of these compounds is necessary to achieve high gold recovery (>90%) during cyanide leaching.

The refractory gold concentrate investigated contained 18.5 g/t gold, 28.4 g/t silver, 6.8% arsenic, 31.3% iron, and 31% sulfur (Table 1) and consisted mainly of pyrite (52.6%) and arsenopyrite (14.8%).Pyrite was compositionally zoned and consisted of firm intergrown zones of arsenic enriched and arsenic-poor pyrite zones, in which gold was …

Differences Between Sulfides And Oxides Mining has always been a popular business sector in industry. Because of mining, we get to enjoy different jewelries that are made to be durable even over a long period of time. Research has shown that in 2011 mining earned approximately 805 million dollars for the government, which an …

Basically, refractory gold ores (gold recovery efficiency of <50% in average using direct cyanidation) are classified into sulfide, tellurium and carbon ores. Sulfide gold ores account for a large proportion of refractory gold ores, therefore, it is very …

Notably both ore A and B contain arsenic which has to be removed to liberate gold from sulphide minerals. Ore A contains 6% arsenic in the concentrate whereas Ore B is low at 0.002%.

1. Introduction. Gold and silver are commodities which occur in many types of hydrothermal ore deposits and geological contexts (Zhu et al., 2011).The mineralogy of gold and silver is variable within and across these different deposit types, with both noble metals known to occur as native metals and alloys, and in stoichiometric amounts in, e.g., …

List Sulphide Minerals. The sulphide minerals are compounds of the metals with sulphur. Nearly all these minerals have a metallic luster, i.e., the peculiar shining appearance of metals, such as gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, iron, etc. They are all heavy minerals and nearly all are of economic importance.
