The results show that gold is present in two forms (native and/or refractory): to a small extent in its native form and in its refractory form as association with sulfide minerals (i.e ...
Common refractory gold bearing minerals include arsenopyrite, pyrite and copper sulphides, which are highly resistant to extraction by standard cyanidation and usually require pre …
But the proportion of gold production from refractory ore is just about 30% of the total gold production in the world. As the refractory gold resources have not been utilized well, countries around the world attach great importance to the exploitation and utilization of refractory gold ore and the research on refractory gold extraction process.
Overview. Pressure Oxidation (POX) is a process used to extract gold, copper, zinc, molybdenum, and uranium from refractory ore bodies. The POX process utilizes elevated temperatures (roughly 230 degrees Celsius), elevated pressures (roughly 35 bar or 510 psi), and oxygen to liberate the minerals from refractory ores.
The gold price in history has always shown a cyclical rise and fall and the dollar per ounce price of the metal saw a rapid increase in the early 2000s. This price peaked at above $1800/ounce …
Refractory gold ore pretreatment Treatment of refractory gold ore (whole ore and flotation concentrates) has become more prominent since the 1980s, with many gold discoveries often including ores that are wholly or partially refractory. Refractory pre-treatment processes include pressure oxidation, biological oxidation and various forms of ...
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), …

For double refractory gold ores, the most crucial unit operation is performed by the roaster by creating a high temperature oxidation of the ore. An efficient roasting operation creates a
The pressure oxidation of both the concentrate and STRB residues increased Ss oxidation by 97–99% and gold recovery by 96–97%. For 2 days, STRB decreased the Ss content and increased the ...
This research was designed to accelerate the biological oxidation rate of low-grade suphidic gold ores. The biological oxidation by tamed Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria with a mixed low-grade refractory gold ore was investigated. These bacteria could well tolerate up to 18.0 g/L of arsenic (III).
To extract the gold from refractory gold concentrate with high sulfur and arsenic, the gold concentrate was catalytically oxidized to expose the gold for cyanide leaching. The effects of reaction temperature, initial nitric acid concentration, reaction time and initial gold concentrate concentration on the conversion rate were studied. The results show that the …
The pyrite contains 43.36% Fe and 41.26% S. The occurrence of gold in the different phases of the sulfide refractory gold ore is shown in Fig. 2, which indicates that 93.94% Au is encapsulated, especially, sulfide-encapsulated gold up to 80.85%. The X-ray diffraction …

Arsenical ores vary from highly refractory to free-milling. Arsenopyrite in highly refractory ores is finer grained, As-deficient (27–32.5 at.% As), contains high average concentrations of submicroscopic gold (60–270 ppm), but does not contain inclusions of particulate gold.
The Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 solution utilized in the chemical oxidation stage during the two-step process was collected from bio-oxidation reactors in Axi Gold Factory. The initial concentration of Fe 3+ was 20 g/L and the pH was 1.3.. 2.3. Experiment with pure pyrite. Cubic single crystals of pyrite were obtained from Guangzhou Research Institute of Non-ferrous …
called low refractory gold ores, while the ores that cannot get higher gold leaching rate by increasing the dosage of chemicals are divided into medium refractory gold ores or high refractory gold ores.

The temperature has often peaked at values as high as 53 °C for short periods. Although oxidation rates were still acceptable, a definite loss in bacteria activity was noticed. The time period at the high temperature was nevertheless too small to assess the effect on the oxidation rates. BIOX Process Improvements
refractoriness is due to encapsulation of the gold particles inside the host mineral. To liberate gold for leaching the host mineral must be broken by mechanical or chemical means. The aim of this study was to study the effect of temperature, oxygen partial pressure and slurry density on pressure oxidation of pyrite-arsenopyrite gold concentrate.
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.
