Some prospectors are interested in the methods of processing sulfide ores to extract their values. The two of the best known processes are smelting and roasting. The two are actually different methods, but both involve heating the ore to high temperatures. Technically, any methods which consist of processing ore by heating it are called pyrometallurgy.
Endogenetic gold ores include vein and lode deposits of elemental gold in quartzite or mixtures of quartzite and various iron sulfide minerals, particularly pyrite (FeS 2) and pyrrhotite (Fe 1x S). When present in sulfide ore bodies, the gold, although still elemental in form, is so finely disseminated that concentration by methods such as those applied to alluvial gold is impossible.

The invention relates to a method for recovering gold from a sulphidic concentrate, particularly one containing arsenopyrite and/or pyrite, hydrometallurgically. The concentrate is first subjected...
Effect of pH on gold and silver extraction in selected oxide carbonaceous and sulfide ores (oxide and carbonaceous, Aylmore (unpublished); sulfide, Navarro et al. (2002) ). The increase in gold extraction can be attributed to increases in residual Cu (II) in solution with increasing pH value resulting from the increase in free NH 3 ( Senanayake, 2004a,b ).
Nickel processing Nickel processing Extraction and refining: The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of highertemperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel
Method for processing sulfide goldarsenicantimony concentrates or ores comprising preparing a mixture of arsenicantimony concentrates or ores with halide big mixture with gaseous compounds and their condensation and getting gold candle and leaching of gold characterized in that the mixture prepared from the concentrate or ore and chloride andor ammonium fluoride at a mass ratio of 1003
Collect the powder into a crucible or melting dish. Apply heat with an oxybutane torch from the side of the dish toward the center, so that the powder melts at 1,947 degrees Frenheit. Remove the heat when the gold has melted completely and allow it to cool. Once cooled, the
Feb 15, 2020#0183;#32;There is no one universal way of treating sulfide rich precious metal ores in the mineral kingdom there are all sorts of complex minerals which contain, in addition to gold or silver, complex combinations of lead, zinc, copper, iron, nickel, manganese,
In contrast, low reactivity of copper minerals in thiosulphate solutions makes thiosulphate leaching potentially suitable alternative for treatment Cubearing gold ores. The extraction of gold
For extraction of gold from the refractory ores in which gold is surrounded by sulfide minerals, oxidative pretreatment of the ore is essential to oxidize the sulfides and expose gold. Pyrometallurgical oxidation by roasting is encountered with environmental limitations; thus hydrometallurgical methods are preferred. These methods include

The roasted ore is mixed with coke and sand. It is then transferred to a waterjacketed blast furnace, where it is heated in the presence of excess of air. The combustion of the ore also provides a lot of heat; hence less amount of coke is usually needed. During the
Gangue carries some gold that is easily recovered at coarse mesh. Sulphides such as copper or zinc, etc., are present which can be recovered and sold at a profit for specific metal content by shipping direct to the smelter. Removal of refractory material by flotation ead of cyanide plant.
Oct 01, 2008#0183;#32;A sulphide reduction process (SRP) that enables fast and cheap extraction of gold from sulphide ores is available from Haber Inc, based in Arlington, USA. Most gold extraction uses toxic chemical leaching involving mercury or cyanide. The SRP approach does not use such chemicals and allows the company to work with sulphide ores, one of the most common sources of gold in the world.
Recovery of gold in sulfide ores has fallen into several categories. First is froth flotation, and second is cyanidation of the ores. Using cyanide to recover gold from sulfide ores generally results in 30 to 35% recovery, and the best I have heard of is around 50% recovery. The fine coating of a iron compound definitely appears to be a key component of the inability of cyanide to efficiently leach low grade pyritic
Jan 01, 2005#0183;#32;2. Gold Extraction from Secondary Sources. The amount of gold that is recycled in the USA is substantial, and is in the range of 170200 tpa ().The main sources of scrap gold include discarded jewellery, scrap from jewellery manufacture, dental scrap, platingbath solutions, scrapped electronic equipment, gold coins and medals.
Biochemical leaching is now a wellestablished commercial process for treating gold ores in which the gold is enclosed within sulfide minerals. Biochemical oxidation of the sulfide minerals releases the gold and allows it to be leached by the chemicals used in conventional gold leaching.
It is then transferred to a waterjacketed blast furnace, where it is heated in the presence of excess of air. The combustion of the ore also provides a lot of heat; hence less amount of coke is usually needed. During the process of smelting, the sulphides ore converted to the oxides. FeS + 3O2 2FeO + 6SO2.
Oct 20, 2014#0183;#32;Refractory Ores/SolidSolution Gold: In some ores, Au can be locked inside the sulphide mineral matrix of the ore (so called solid solution), and the cost for the energy required to grind and liberate is simply too high to be viable. These are refractory ores and require a chemical, not simply physical, process to liberate gold from the surrounding rock.
