METHOD FOR RECOVERING GOLD FROM REFRACTORY ORE |
摘要 |
A method of recovering gold from refractory ore containing a carbonaceous material, a sulfide and gold is provided. Gypsum seed crystals are added to a slurry containing a roasted refractory ore or a pressure-oxidized refractory ore to decrease gypsum encapsulation of gold and improve gold recovery. |

1. A method of recovering gold from refractory ore comprising:
heating refractory ore containing a sulfide and gold to form a hot ore; quenching the hot ore with an aqueous liquid containing a sulfate and calcium to form a hot liquid slurry; adjusting the pH of the hot liquid slurry to form a basic slurry; adding cyanide to the basic slurry to extract gold as a concentrated solution; and recovering the gold from the concentrated solution, the improvement comprising: adding gypsum seed crystals after the heating step and before the cyanide addition step in an amount sufficient to decrease gypsum encapsulation of gold. |
