Introduction. The first report in this recurring series on microbial processes in the minerals industries was published in 2003 (Olson et al. 2003), followed by an update after 10 years (Brierley and Brierley 2013) with bioleaching and biooxidation of sulfide minerals, primarily copper (in the case of bioleaching) and refractory gold ores …
Leaching. Heap Leaching of Uranium; Solution Concentration and Purification; Metal Recovery; Contributors and Attributions; Hydrometallurgy involves the use of aqueous chemistry for the recovery of metals from ores, concentrates, and recycled or residual materials.This process is used in extraction of less electro positive or less reactive …
Refractory gold-ores are characterized by low gold recoveries in direct cyanide leaching. The reasons for low recovery are sulphides, carbon or arsenic due to encapsulation or absorption effects. Oxidizing roasting of such ores prior to leaching is an effective step to increase gold recovery typically to levels well above 90%.
Baghalha investigated a gold ore leaching process using the chloride -hypochlorite system, at room temperature assessing the effect of the Ca(OCl) 2 and NaOCl concentrations. It was proposed that, the calcium hypochlorite produced a gold leaching kinetic three times as slow as what was observed for sodium hypochlorite.
Investigation of glycine leaching for gold extraction from Witwatersrand gold mine tailings with permanganate pre-treatment by A. Tapfuma1, G. Akdogan1, M. Tadie1 Abstract The Southern African region contains abundant gold tailing heaps that are an environmental concern due to dust pollution and chemical contamination of nearby water bodies.

Pressure oxidation conditions are similar to those used in conventional refractory gold autoclaves. Atmospheric leaching of POX residue is one patented Kell innovation that is useful for ore types with other HCl-soluble components, while the heat treatment innovation is useful for ore types with components deleterious to chlorination …
Traditionally, once gold ore is mined from the ground, it's crushed to a powder and passed through a series of tanks in a process called leaching. Cyanide is then used to separate the gold from the ore into the leached solution. With the new process, the leaching and recovery process is done with chloride, one of two elements in table salt.
There are many different types of leaching processes, which are mainly categorized based on the reagents utilized, Such as Cyanide leaching (e.g. gold ore),Ammonia leaching (e.g. crushed ore),Alkali leaching (e.g. bauxite ore),Acid leaching (e.g. sulfide ore) The reagents needed are determined by the ores or pretreated material …
