摘要:
The present invention is directed to flotation of refractory gold sulfide ores in which the ore is ground, floated, the tailings reground, and refloated to produce gold-bearing concentrates.
摘要:
A process for the recovery of arsenic trioxide from acid solutions, particularly the aqueous acid effluent produced by a gas-washing process in the pyrometallurgy of copper sulfide ores is provided. Generally, the process comprises concentrating the acid solution in one or more evaporators in series; crystallizing arsenic contained in the concentrated solution as arsenic trioxide crystals; filtering the crystallized solution to obtain a solid phase comprising impure arsenic trioxide crystals; and purifying the solid phase to obtain a purified crystal product comprising arsenic trioxide. The process produces a commercially salable arsenic trioxide product without producing any solid or liquid residues subject to special handling or treatment regulations.
摘要:
A process for reducing boron and/or fluoride ion content of water. Feed water is contacted, in the presence of magnesium, with an alkaline hydroxide to produce treated water and a magnesium precipitate containing boron and fluorine. The precipitate is separated from the treated water. The boron content of water is reducible from above about 0.8 mg/L to below about 0.7 mg/L, and the fluoride ion content is reducible from above about 1 mg/L to below about 0.9 mg/L. The magnesium precipitate is optionally used to neutralize pressure oxidized ore slurry or roaster calcine in the context of gold recovery operations.
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. In some embodiments, the gold recovery process comprises providing particulate activated carbon or another carbon-based material, providing a precious metal-bearing material, contacting the precious metal-bearing material with the particulate carbon-based material, thiosulfate, an anion exchange resin, and an oxidant to form a slurry comprising a slurried precious metal-bearing material, and leaching a precious metal from the slurried precious metal-bearing material.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a precious metal recovery process in which carbonaceous material, such as preg robbing carbon, is floated after sulfide oxidation to separate the carbonaceous material from the precious metal.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a multi-compartment autoclave using inter-compartment dividers having one or more underflow openings for passing a feed stream between compartments.
摘要:
In an embodiment, the present invention relates to an apparatus and a process for producing a concentrated form of basic zinc sulphate from a, typically dilute, acidic zinc sulphate-bearing solution. The process embodiment comprises the steps of precipitating the zinc, preferably primarily as basic zinc sulphate, from the acidic zinc sulphate solution, preferably using calcium oxide, in such a way as to promote the formation of separate gypsum crystals and basic zinc sulphate particles, and upgrading the zinc content in the precipitates by separating the basic zinc sulphate from the gypsum using size separation techniques.
