摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to a gold recovery process in which activated carbon or another carbon-based material is used to accelerate thiosulfate leaching of gold from a gold-bearing material. The present disclosure improves the overall precious metal recovery of thiosulfate refractory precious metal-bearing materials. Leaching is done by substantially simultaneously mixing a slurry containing the precious metal-bearing material, water, thiosulfate, a carbon-based material, and dissolved molecular oxygen (as the oxidizing reagent) and performing leaching in the presence of the various components for a predetermined residence time. The carbon-based material is maintained in the slurry during leaching to provide increased gold recoveries.

摘要:
A method to recover gold lost in roaster calcine-leach tailings, due to the formation of cyanide refractory compounds or morphologies during the roasting process. The process can include acid leaching of magnetic concentrate from roaster leach tailings, combining the acid leach slurry to the pre-acidulation tank for pressure oxidation feed, acid pressure oxidation of the pressure oxidation feed, and recovery of gold.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to the oxidation and immobilization of trivalent arsenic from arsenic-containing solutions. The process includes oxidation of trivalent arsenic (As3+) species to the pentavalent state (As5+). A carbon additive (e.g., activated carbon) and oxygen are used to promote the arsenic oxidation processes. After oxidation of arsenic to the pentavalent state, the arsenic can be removed by precipitation to ferric arsenate or calcium arsenate or other arsenic containing compounds known in the art. The oxidation of arsenic can also occur simultaneously with the production and precipitation of ferric arsenate (e.g., scorodite). Ferrous iron can be oxidized to ferric iron in the presence of activated carbon and oxygen.

摘要:
The present invention relates to flotation of sulfidic copper-molybdenum- and gold-containing minerals. More specifically, the invention relates to sulfoxy reagent-assisted floatation for separating of sulfides of copper, molybdenum and gold from pyrite, marcasite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and other gangue minerals following aerating by an oxidizing gas and contacting by a sulfoxy reagent. To promote collection and flotation the feed mineral materials are preferably not contacted with an externally generated non-oxidizing gas to lower the dissolved molecular oxygen content prior to flotation.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a precious metal recovery process in which an acid sulfidic feed material is subjected to acid pressure oxidation and an alkaline sulfidic feed material is subjected to alkaline pressure oxidation, with the discharge slurries from the pressure oxidation processes being combined to reduce neutralization requirements prior to precious metal recovery.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to a process for thiosulfate leaching of a precious metal-containing material and recovering a precious metal from a pregnant leach solution using a resin extractant. The precious metal is eluted from the loaded resin optionally using an eluant comprising trithionate. Various process improvements include maintaining the thiosulfate-containing leach solution substantially free of thiols and amines, maintaining a concentration of a sulfide in the thiosulfate leach solution of no more than about 100 ppm, recycling the barren resin free of contact with a sulfide, bisulfide, and polysulfide, and/or maintaining a concentration of tetrathionates, trithionates, sulfur-oxygen anions, and/or combinations thereof within about 50% of a concentration level of the one or more of tetrathionates, trithionates, sulfur-oxygen anions, the combinations thereof in the precious metal-containing solution before contact with the recycled barren resin.
