— Gold leaching involves the dissolution of gold particles into a liquid medium, typically a cyanide or alternative lixiviant solution. The process aims to extract gold from low-grade ores or refractory ores that are not easily processed through conventional methods such as gravity separation or direct smelting.

Therefore, it is practically impossible to predict how an ore will act during cyanidation, although broad generalizations can sometimes be made. In general, therefore, every ore presents its own problems in …

 — Gold leaching with thiourea has the advantages of fast speed (four to five times faster than that of cyanide leaching) and a high leaching rate for refractory gold ores (Choi et al., 2017, Lee et al., 2018). Thiourea is stable under acidic conditions and can form coordinating compounds with Au ions in the presence of an oxidizing agent.

 — Factors affecting cyanide leaching mainly refer to cyanide concentration, oxygen concentration, pH in leaching solution, temperature and pressure of ore pulp, grain size and shape of gold particles, grinding fineness, concentration of slurry and slime content, film formed on the gold surface, cyanide leaching time, influence of associated …

ally been depleted, and refractory gold ores (RGOs) make up approximately one-third of the total gold production from natural ores [3–4]. Recovery of gold from RGOs may be car-ried out with approximately <50% efficiency on average by direct cyanidation, which requires pretreatment to liberate the locked and preg-robbed gold [5]. Moreover, the ...

 — Gold Leaching Process Circuit NO. CY-1. ... On some ores two or more thickeners are used between the agitators and the filter. There is no question about the lower soluble loss when using a filter but the …

 — Gold production in South Africa is projected to continue its decline in future, and prospects for discovery of new high-grade deposits are limited. Many of the mining companies have resorted to mining and processing low-grade and complex gold ores. Such ores are technically challenging to process, which results in low recovery rates, …

 — However, there are some disadvantages associated with the use of cyanide as a leaching agent, such as prolonged leaching time (commonly 24–72 h for gold ores in tank leaching systems), the high cost of the cyanide reagent, not being efficient for specific gold ores or minerals (i.e., primarily sulfide ores, arsenical, carbonaceous ...

 — Tajikistan possesses large reserves of dump tailings characterized by a high gold content. The formation of these dump tailings is associated with the low cost of gold in the past, since rich ores with a gold content above 6–8 g/t were more often involved in processing. At recovery of ≈ 70–75%, tailings with a gold content below 1.8 g/t were …

 — 1. Introduction. Complex refractory gold ores, which have become a major raw material for global gold production (Bas et al., 2017), generally contain gold, silver, copper, sulfur and other valuable elements.The complex properties, many cyanide-consuming substances (Deschenes et al., 2000), and gold particles of fine size range (Bas et al., …

 — The results indicated that more than 75% of gold was encapsulated in pyrite, quartz and calcite. The gold leaching rate evidently increased with the reagent content and slurry temperature of the pretreatment, ... In summary, the pre-oxidation of refractory gold ores is of great concern, and the alkaline chemical pretreatment of fine ...

 — Overall, the gold leaching rate of roasted fine-grained carbonaceous gold ores will be the highest when the oxidation reaction of carbonaceous matters is complete during roasting, during which the gas produced from the oxidation of carbon, pyrite and carbonate minerals makes the ore porous, while neither sintering nor secondary …

 — kinetics of gold leaching (Byerley et al., 1973; Fleming, 1986; Li and Miller, 2006). ... However, with the increasing refractory nature of gold ores and . restrictions on cy anidation, ...

A pretreatment of carbonaceous or sulfidic ores is commonly required before undergoing halide leaching to acquire relatively inert ores and less reagent consumption. The corrosiveness and toxicity of halides are difficult from an environmental perspective and need a greater process control on discharge of the final effluent.

 — It can occur in the same rock formations as gold and may be present in ores that contain both antimony and gold. Quartz-sulfide veins: Quartz-sulfide veins, also known as "gold-bearing quartz veins," are …

 — 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 …

 — In this study, we conducted experiments to characterize the effects on gold extraction of ores using a range of sodium cyanide concentrations (1–8 g/L), temperatures (40–75 °C), and oxygen pressures (0.5–1.1 MPa). Characterization of the ores showed that pyrite and quartz were the main minerals present in the concentrate.
