Case 2 - A copper-ammonia-thiosulfate solution was applied to leach a sulphide gold ore ... Examples include Avocet Mining's Penjom Gold Mine, in Malaysia, and Anglo Asia's Gedabek mine, in Azerbaijan. The complexity of the ores targeted in each case has rendered the use of activated carbon uneconomical, therefore leading to the …
Gold leaching was observed to be very slow where pure gold samples or when hydrosulfide was used in place of sulfide ions. For the sulfide sulfur system, the optimum ratio of sulfide to sulfur was found to be 1:1, but adequate leach rates were still obtained at a ratio of 1.5. ... In bottle-roll tests conducted on ground bio-oxidized ore, the ...

Baghalha investigated a gold ore leaching process using the chloride -hypochlorite system, at room temperature assessing the effect of the Ca(OCl) 2 and NaOCl concentrations. It was proposed that, the calcium hypochlorite produced a gold leaching kinetic three times as slow as what was observed for sodium hypochlorite.
Thiosulfate leaching is a promising alternative to cyanidation, and the main hindrances for its wide commercial application are the high thiosulfate consumption and the difficult recovery of dissolved gold. In this review, the four solutions to reduce the consumption of thiosulfate, including the control of reaction conditions, the use of additives, the …
This research was carried out on Aghdareh gold ore. The Aghdareh mine and gold processing plant is located 32 km from Takab city in the western Azerbaijan province, Iran, at 46°58′30′′N and 36°39′29′′E. The grade of gold ore is 3 ppm. Also, cyanide leaching is used to process gold in the Aghdareh mine . The main problem in ...
Heap leaching of gold and silver ores is conducted at approximately 120 mines worldwide. Heap leaching is one of several alternative process methods for treating precious metal ores, and is …
In this study, the extraction of gold from a copper-bearing gold ore by ammoniacal cyanide leaching was studied. Furthermore, ammonia leaching as a pretreatment process ahead of cyanide leaching was also examined. ... Acknowledgments The authors appreciate the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia for awarding the Fundamental Research Grant ...
The main ore type used in the heap leaching process is a gold mine, which can be used for both raw ore and tailings of a gold mine.It requires the use of sodium cyanide or environmentally friendly gold extraction agents, just like …
The cyanide leaching tests showed that the extractions of gold and silver from the ore (d80: 50 µm) were limited to 76% and 23%, respectively, over a leaching period of 24 h.
Further kinetic data is consequently needed to evaluate the impacts of direct refractory gold ore leaching more accurately. 2.3. Scope and boundaries in the life cycle assessment. The functional unit in the study was 1 kg of gold, which was produced from a purified solution by reduction. The scope of the study is regional (Finland) and limited ...

Figure 50.1 shows typical gold deportment of two double-refractory ores (a and b) compared with a nonrefractory oxide ore (c). The main gold carrier in the ore shown in Figure 50.1(a) is pyrite; the ore has a total sulfide …
gold electrode (m2), and t is the time elapsed (s). Thus, the slope of the kinetic plot is a measure of the leaching rate. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the gold/silver leach rate increases as a function of time, eventually reaching a steady state value after 350s. At steady state, the leaching rate for gold/silver is
Hypochlorite leaching system is a strong oxidizing solution for metal sulfides, which are naturally associated with gold extraction. This study evaluated the hypochlorite leaching of refractory gold ore by using the response surface method–central composite design (RSM-CCD) as a statistical approach in determining the optimum condition of …

In ferric leaching, the gold extraction was slightly lower 85–89% (with ferric concentration of 0.1 M and 0.04 M). However, notable is that gold was able to dissolve without any initial cupric or ferric addition, with a gold extraction of as high as 87%, when the oxidant originated in-situ from the gold ore.
