Sulfide gold ores account for a large proportion of refractory gold ores, therefore, it is very meaningful to recover gold from sulfide gold ores (Ubaldini and Vegliò, 2000, Saba, 2011, Hammerschmidt, 2016). Moreover, the major gold leaching process for extracting gold from ores and concentrates is still cyanide leaching.
Hypochlorite leaching system is a strong oxidizing solution for metal sulfides, which are naturally associated with gold extraction.

cyanidation. Acceptable extraction of refractory gold can only be achieved by employing a pre-oxidation process prior to cyanide leaching. Antimony, bismuth sulfide and telluride gold ores: Antimony, bismuth sulfide and telluride gold ores are often somewhat refractory due to the presence of slow-dissolving gold minerals such as aurostibite ...
A synergistic extraction method for gold from the refractory gold ores via ultrasound and chlorination-oxidation was developed. The effects of solid-liquid ratio, extraction time, ultrasound power, NaClO concentration and NaOH concentration on the extraction rate of gold from the refractory gold ore were investigated.
1. Introduction. The efficiency of gold extraction from sulphidic refractory ores (e.g., arsenopyrite (FeAsS) and pyrite (FeS 2)) by direct cyanidation is usually very low (Badri and Zamankhan, 2013, Faraz et al., 2014), since fine gold particles in these ores are mostly locked up in the bulk and therefore inaccessible to leaching agents and dissolved oxygen (Badri and …

The complex mineralogy of the Porgera resource has a pronounced effect on process selection for the recovery of refractory gold and silver. Intimate association of gold with pyrite necessitates a high degree of sulphur preoxidation to achieve acceptable levels of gold recovery. Acid pressure oxidation has been demonstrated to be the only commercially proven process …

A good amount of fire methods and wet processes have shown potential for gold extraction from refractory resources (Chakraborti and Lynch, 1983; Linge, 1995; Espiell et al., 1986). While, several reasons have arisen for the preference of a wet way, including growing energy costs and carbon relieving pressure. As it is well known, a wet method ...
Many gold deposits contain finely disseminated gold particles in iron sulfide minerals such as pyrite. These minerals are called refractory gold ores because of the presence of gold, which occurs either as disseminated …
