Method and system for gold recovery |
摘要 |
A method for recovering precious metal from an acidic pregnant solution resulting from halogen or hypohalite leaching of an ore, comprising lowering the ORP of the pregnant leachate with a reducing agent in the presence of slurried non-carboneous particles. The precious metal deposits on the surfaces of the particles and a barren solution comprising substantially all the halogen values of the pregnant solution in the form of sodium chloride, sodium bromide or hypohalites is recovered. |

1. A method for recovering precious metals from a precious metals-bearing ore, comprising:
leaching the ore using a hypochlorite/hypobromite solution at atmospheric pressure, thereby yielding a precious metals-bearing halogen-based pregnant solution; and lowering an oxidation-reduction potential of the pregnant solution with a reducing agent while contacting the pregnant solution with slurried non-carboneous particles having a specific surface in a range between about 0.01 and about 10 m2/g, at ambient temperature and pressure, and at a pH in a range between about 0.1 and about 2.5, yielding a barren solution comprising substantially all the halogen values of the pregnant solution. |
