This study presents the novel idea of a cyanide-free leaching method, i.e., glycine-ammonia leaching in the presence of permanganate, to treat a low-grade and copper-bearing gold tailing. Ammonia played a key role as a pH modifier, lixiviant and potential catalyst (as cupric ammine) in this study. Replacing ammonia with other pH …

اقرأ المزيدIn the second step, insolubles from the first step underwent a second acid leaching with 2 M H 2 SO 4, an S:L ratio of 1:1.5, 120 RPM agitation, and a 7-day leaching time, resulting in recoveries of 12.5 ppm silver and 0.5 ppm gold for H 2 SO 4, and 1 ppm gold for HNO 3.
اقرأ المزيدCyanide leaching of gold catalysts can remove less active gold. • Gold thrifting is thereby enabled for the chosen system investigated. • Cyanide leaching may be selective and may help in gold speciation studies. • Cyanide leaching leads to a modification of gold oxidation state.
اقرأ المزيدThe gold content obtained from the aqua regia leaching process was measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma—Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) (Agilent, 5100). Finally, the extraction yield of gold from the aqua regia process was investigated and further set as a reference value to estimate the gold yield obtained …
اقرأ المزيدThe objective of this study was to investigate thiourea leaching of gold present in the uranium tailings. Sulfuric acid treatment for raw material is important in order to dissolve uranium as well as to remove easily leachable metals. The acidic thiourea solution was proposed as a non-toxic possible alternative process route to cyanide in …
اقرأ المزيدThis study investigated the effects of arsenopyrite oxidation on gold dissolution in a copper(II) (Cu 2+)–ethylenediamine (en)–S 2 O 3 2− gold-leaching system. During gold leaching, arsenopyrite oxidation considerably influences the properties of the leaching system, thereby increasing the rate of gold dissolution.
اقرأ المزيدCyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where ... Gold …
اقرأ المزيدThe Philippines has the world's third largest known Au deposits and is ranked 20th in global gold production. Of the country's annual production, about 80% is from the small-scale gold mining (SSGM) sector. This work estimates the first location-specific life cycle energy use and CO2 emissions of SSGM establishments in the …
اقرأ المزيدThe consumption of cyanide during processing operations is a major economic cost in the extraction of gold from its ores, while the discharge of cyanide wastes may result in significant environmental pollution. Many factors influence the levels of consumption and discharge of cyanide, including ore mineralogy and lixiviant solution …
اقرأ المزيدLeaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, etc., …
