Reduction of lime consumption when treating refractory gold ores …

the factor normally having the greatest impact on the form of the iron species produced in the autoclave is the acidity of the slurry, with high acidity favoring basic iron sulphate and jarosite formation and low acidity favoring hematite formation. Therefore, to form hematite, or even to convert basic iron sulphate or hydronium jarosite to hematite in the autoclave, it is well …

Exploring Non-ammoniacal Thiosulfate Gold Leaching and Limited Gold

The application of pressure oxidation (POX) followed by thiosulfate gold leaching is an efficient method used to extract gold from double refractory gold ores containing both sulfide and carbonaceous matter. This process is expected to result in high gold recovery rates, as it liberates gold from sulfides and eliminates the preg-robbing behavior of carbonaceous matter. …
