A "refractory" gold ore is an ore that has ultra fine gold particles disseminated throughout its gold occluded minerals. These ores are naturally resistant to recovery by standard cyanidation and carbon adsorption processes. These refractory ores require pre-treatment in order for cyanidation to be effective in recovery of the gold. A refractory ore generally contains sulfide minerals, organic carbon, or both. Sulfide minerals are impermeable minerals that occlude gold particles, making it difficult for the leach s

Other articles where Refractory ore is discussed: gold processing: Extraction from refractory ores: Many gold-bearing ores and concentrates are not readily amenable to cyanidation, owing to the presence of substances that consume the cyanide reagent before it can dissolve the gold, preferentially adsorb the gold as it dissolves (a phenomenon called preg-robbing), or completely surround the

The main causes of refractory gold ores are submicroscopic gold, the Au-Ag tellurides, and very fine-grained gold (<10 µm) locked in sulfides. Other types of problem gold ores include copper-gold ores and preg-robbing carbonaceous ores. This is a preview of subscription content, log in to check access.

Refractory ores are defined as those that give low gold recoveries or give acceptable gold recoveries only with the use of significantly more reagents or more complex pre-treatment processes. Based on the mineralogical characteristics and mineral processing techniques required, gold ores can be classified into 11 types (Table 1).

Refractory materials. Refractory materials must be chemically and physically stable at high temperatures. Depending on the operating environment, they must be resistant to thermal shock, be chemically inert, and/or have specific ranges of thermal conductivity and of the coefficient of thermal expansion.. The oxides of aluminium (), silicon and magnesium are the most important materials used

Non-refractory ore is where cyanide can be used to extract the gold. This is desirable as it means the process will be cheaper. Refractory and Non-refractory are relative terms, and the degree to which any ore is amenable to cyanide extraction will range from near 0% through to near 100%. Whether gold is refractory or non-refractory has a huge bearing on a potential mine's viability. A deposit ...

The other parameter that SGS experts consider when designing refractory gold treatments is whether or not to preconcentrate the gold-bearing ore. This is usually done by flotation of arsenopyrite, pyrite, or other gold-bearing sulfides. To be economically justifiable, preconcentration should meet two objectives. First, the gold recovery to the concentrate should be sufficiently high that the ...

Because of the different calcined ore properties, the chemical reaction is not same, so the calcining principle is not same. According to the chemical reaction, can be divided into the following three types: reductive calcination, neutral calcination and oxidation calcination. Bauxite: The principal ore of aluminum.

Treatment of Refractory Gold Ores Extractive Metallurgy Once the cause has been identified, there are a number of alternatives for treating the ore. Firstly, the gold can be made more amenable to cyanidation by ultra-fine milling, followed by a hot atmospheric leach –the Albion Process. A second solution is complete pressure oxidation (POX), which is effective for all conditions except ...

The first two of these types of refractory ore are of common occurrence. The current discussion will be focused on carbonaceous refractory ores. The deleterious effect of carbonaceous matter in gold ores on cyanidation has been recognized by the mining industry for many years. Prominent among the U.S.A. carbonaceous refractory gold deposits are those of Carlin Mines, Gold Quarry and Maggie ...

ore reserves. Refractory gold ores are those that do not yield high gold recoveries in conventional cyanide-leaching circuits, even when the ore is finely ground. The cause of low gold recoveries can be either through the presence of naturally occurring ‘preg robbing’ carbonaceous materials or gold physically ‘locked’ in sulphide minerals. The majority of gold ores are classified ...

Gold ore can be classified as free-milling, complex, or refractory and each type of ore has different challenges when it comes to processing methods. Cyanidation with CIL/ CIP continues to be the most common method, although there are environmental concerns due to toxicity. As mining companies continue to face pressure to reduce environmental impact, and as free-milling ores become less and ...

The conclusion reached, as reported in the first of the above papers, was that of the three forms in which the ...
