tract gold. In a modern gold processing plant, the recovery can be up to 98% with the aid of the latest concentration and smelting techniques. A successful gold recovery strategy re-lies on a fundamental understanding of the ore mineralogy and its chemical/physical behaviors under various leach, flotation, and oxidation conditions. An overview ...
Gold concentrate roasting, most commonly known as dead roasting, uses Outotec's circulating fluidized bed technology. When using a dead roasting process for concentrates, the sulfides are completely transformed into oxides. The gas temperature in this type of plant is typically between 600 and 700°C. The hot gas generated in the process is ...
For gold roasting applications, even low-sulfur and organic contents are removed efficiently, leading to increased gold recovery in the downstream leaching process. Direct dry feeding of the concentrate (moisture content 6–12%) to the roaster
A total of 1066 tons of solution running about $5 per ton is precipitated per day. Zinc dust consumed equals 0.006 lb. per ton. The present over-all recovery is 85 per cent, consisting of a flotation recovery of 90 per cent, a roaster recovery …
Gold is often present in solid solution with pyrite in the Carlin Trend. The presence of organic carbon along with gold hosted in sulfide, referred to as double refractory ore, requires that ore with high carbon-in-leach (CIL) preg-robbing potential and poor leach recovery is routed to a roaster. During roasting, the pyrite is oxidised to (ideally) form hematite (Fe2O3), and the gold that was ...
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 ...
Gold roaster to treat refractory ore, Kanowna Belle mine, Stage 2, 18km north-east of Kalgoorlie ... development and operation of a sulphur dioxide control strategy. This strategy ... Stage I has been commissioned and includes an oxide gold recovery plant, utilising cyanide
12%Gold recovery as a function of roaster temperature has been closely monitored since October 2000. The original design temperature was 550° C. Lower roaster temperatures of around 500° C resulted in a gold recovery increase of more than six percent. This increase was directly related to an increase of the surface area of the calcine. The ...
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 ...

The extent of gold dissolution is approximately 91%, including a 1-% loss of soluble gold in the slurry sent to tailings, for an overall recovery of 90%. Sodium cyanide solution (30%) is added as required in the C.I.L. tanks, one through five, at a rate of one pound of NaCN per ton of dry ore.

The 12,000-tons/day roaster is the largest gold treatment plant of its type in the world. It employs crushing, dry grinding, fluid-bed roasting, and carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold recovery. Loaded carbon is transported to the existing refinery. Head grades are expected to be 0.14 oz/t Au from pit ore and 0.52 oz/t Au from underground ore.
The process works best when the ore is crushed to small pieces before roasting. Additives, such as common rock salt are often added to the mix before it is heated to enhance the reaction of the sulfides. Once the ores are fully roasted, and the sulfur is driven off, the extraction of the gold or silver from the ore is not especially difficult.
Lower roaster temperatures were achieved (500° to 505°C), which resulted in a further increase of gold recovery by about 2%. The overall recovery increase equated to $8.0 million in additional ...
The clear solution drawn off from an agitator is run to two settling vats 16 ft. 6 in. in diameter by 4 ft. deep. The solution stands in settlers until any cloudiness has settled. It is then run through a sand filter and then to the zinc boxes. An 80 per cent gold recovery was made by the method of treatment described.
