oxidation or pressure oxidation . processes, in which the sulphide component of the host mineral is oxidized with oxygen to elemental sulphur, sulphur dioxide gas or sulphate ions. There are a great many operating plants around the world employing one or other of these 3 processes to oxidize sulphides ahead of a traditional gold recovery process.
The mill was completed and production resumed in 1989 combining a traditional cyanide leach circuit with pressure oxidation. The mill started up on oxide ore in February, 1989. Sulfide ore was run through the first pressure oxidation autoclave in April, 1989 followed by the start up of the other two autoclaves in May and June, 1989.
Pressure Oxidation Pressure oxidation is employed to liberate gold and silver in refractory sulfide concentrates often and ores. The main pressure oxidation products from iron sulfide minerals are sulfuric acid (and metal sulfates) and hematite. Depending on the conditions within the autoclave, acid containing iron compounds can be formed.
One of the earliest applications of sulfide pressure oxidation was at the Calera Mining Company's Garfield (Utah) cobalt refinery. In 1953, Calera was originally developing a roast-leach process for their ore, but found pressure oxidation a better alternative. The plant was a high temperature circuit operating at 190o
Pressure Oxidation vs BIOX® Testwork also indicated that relative to BIOX®, pressure oxidation (POX) could yield a 2% increase in Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) cyanide leach gold recovery for the same percentage sulfur oxidation and for this reason a comparative study of BIOX® and POX oxidation was undertaken prior to completion of the feasibility ...
Autoclave pressure oxidation (POX) is an effective pre-treatment option when extracting gold from refractory ore bodies, such as pyrite and arsenopyrite. While gold processing plants are the most common utilizers of POX technology, the process can also be …
The run of the mine (ROM) ore will be trucked to a common processing facility for the recovery of gold through carbon-in-leach (CIL) and pressure oxidation (POX) processes. The Mansourah-Massarah processing plant will treat up to four million tonnes of ore to produce up to 250,000oz of gold a year.
Another approach, recently implemented, is to use pressure oxidation of sulfide concentrates to generate acid for leaching, thus avoiding the cost of an acid plant.
Feb 11, 2019· "Pressure oxidation was selected as the most feasible processing technology for double refractory ores. It is able to achieve gold recoveries of 96% by utilising high temperatures, elevated pressure and oxygen to recover encapsulated gold, while conventional cyanidation methods would result in sub-optimal recovery rates of 20-40%.
Pressure Oxidation is a process for extracting gold from refractory ore.. The most common refractory ores are pyrite and arsenopyrite, which are sulfide ores that trap the gold within them.Refractory ores require pre-treatment before the gold can be adequately extracted. The pressure oxidation process is used to prepare such ores for conventional gold extraction processes such as cyanidation.
technology is not used to leach the gold but only to make the cyanide ions accessible to the gold in the host mineral. 2. Extraction of gold and silver from the argentopyrite / argentite ore 2.1 Pressure oxidation / cyanidation chemistry The oxidation of gold and silver is a prerequi site for its dissolution in the alkaline cyanide lixiviant.
A carbonaceous refractory sulphide ore is processed in an autoclave pressure oxidation plant and subsequently subjected to a cyanide leaching. An initial mineralogical study of the feed ore by quantitative dynamic SIMS analysis has shown that 95% of the gold is contained as sub-microscopic gold in pyrite with the remainder contained in primary ...
