  2. Pressure oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_oxidation

    Pressure oxidation has a very high gold recovery rate, normally at least 10% higher than roasting. [1] The oxidation of the iron sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid, soluble compounds such as ferric sulfate, and solids such as iron sulfate or jarosite. The iron-based solids produced pose an environmental challenge, as they can release acid ...

  3. Gold extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_extraction

    A "refractory" gold ore is an ore that has ultra-fine gold particles disseminated throughout its gold occluded minerals. These ores are naturally resistant to recovery by standard cyanidation and carbon adsorption processes. These refractory ores require pre-treatment in order for cyanidation to be effective in recovery of the gold.

  4. Gold cyanidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_cyanidation

    Challenges include reagent cost and the efficiency of gold recovery, although some chlorination process using sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) have shown promise in terms or reagent regeneration. These technologies are at a pre-commercialisation stage and compare favourably to equivalent cyanidation methods, including gold recovery ...

  5. Bioleaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioleaching

    Bioleaching is the extraction or liberation of metals from their ores through the use of living organisms.Bioleaching is one of several applications within biohydrometallurgy and several methods are used to treat ores or concentrates containing copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, antimony, nickel, molybdenum, gold, silver, and cobalt.

  6. Bacterial oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_oxidation

    The bacterial oxidation process comprises contacting refractory sulfide ROM ore or concentrate with a strain of the bacterial culture for a suitable treatment period under an optimum operating environment. The bacteria oxidise the sulfide minerals, thus liberating the occluded gold for subsequent recovery via cyanidation.

  7. Roasting (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roasting_(metallurgy)

    Roasting is a process of heating a sulfide ore to a high temperature in the presence of air. It is a step in the processing of certain ores . More specifically, roasting is often a metallurgical process involving gas–solid reactions at elevated temperatures with the goal of purifying the metal component(s).
