In metallurgy, the operation of roasting, as a preliminary to chlorination, has for its object the expulsion of the sulphur, arsenic, antimony and other volatile substances existing in the ore, and the oxidation of the metals left behind, so as to leave nothing (except metallic gold) which can combine with chlorine when the ore is subsequently treated with it in aqueous solution.

The gold ores that contain As must be crushed in order to expose the gold for leaching with an appropriate gold leaching agent (Yanget al, (2008); Zhou et al, 2009) ... is used in the treatment of Arsenic-bearing refract-tory gold ore. The water chlorination is employed to leach the gold and gold leaching rate can ...

The Kell process, which applies chlorination to products from a pressure-oxidation step (Liddell and Adams, 2011; Adams et al., 2015), has shown potential for application to a range of gold-bearing materials.
A complete process of gold recovery from sulfide refractory gold ore was proposed. •. The recovery efficiency of Au was increased by adding pyrite during the chlorination roasting. •. The maximum recovery efficiency of gold reached 98.06% under optimal condition. Abstract.
Eldredge was then bought out by a New York corporation that began a large-scale twenty-stamp mill operation. Technology was deficient and profits were poor until around 1888, when a German-trained mining engineer, Dr. Adolph Thies, developed a barrel-chlorination process that extracted gold from low-grade sulphite ore.
This paper describes the chlorination roasting-water leaching process for the volatilization separation of gold, zinc and simultaneous vanadium recovery from carbonaceous gold ore. Chlorination ...
Kelsall et al. (1993) constructed the potential-pH and activity-pH diagrams of the gold-halogen-water system. They also conducted thermodynamic studies, and predicted the behavior of gold in halogen electrolytes. Zhang et al. (2016a) analyzed the thermodynamics of the gold leaching process in thiourea solution and investigated the stability of the leaching …

A novel process based on chlorination roasting was proposed to simultaneously recover gold and zinc from refractory carbonaceous gold ore by using NaCl as chlorination agent. The effects of roasting temperature, roasting time and NaCl content on the volatilization rates of gold and zinc were investigated.
Intensive cyanidation is a good option, but obviously, the material can be sent to the leaching process employed to treat the raw ore. Gold and silver recoveries are between 99.5 to 99.7%. Although slag production weight is variable, a typical operation can generate 10 kilos of slag per 1000 oz of gold. ... The Miller chlorination process is ...
Pour the acid-and-bleach mixture into the plastic bowl with the ore grains and stir. Allow four hours for the gold to dissolve, stirring every 20 minutes. The chlorine reacts with the gold inside the ore to form gold chloride. Filter …
The Mears Process: In this process, the roasted ore was charged into lead-lined iron cylindrical barrels, together with enough water to make an easily flowing pulp ; chlorine was then forced in under pressure through the …
While processing the concentrates containing gold, copper, and arsenic, which are undoubtedly complex, chlorination is considered as a very effective method for fractionating the raw materials in order to obtain high …
The main merits of cyanidation are the high selectivity of free cyanide for gold dissolution compared to other metals and an extremely high stability constant (2 × 10 38) of the gold cyanide complex [].. Dilute sodium cyanide solutions within concentration ranges of 0.01–0.05% are used in mines for gold leaching [].Gold ore is subjected to physical …
The processing of gold scrap varies not only with the gold content but also with the amenability of the gold in the scrap to extraction. Thus, the bulk of the gold may be recovered by leaching techniques using cyanidation or aqueous chlorination, and the residue may then be treated by smelting to recover the balance. Generally, scrap with a ...
Before the gold found in the ore taken from hard rock mines became gold ingots or gold coins, it went several complicated rounds of chemical and mechanical processing. ... cyanide and glycerides to concentrate the gold. The chlorination process, probably first used in New Zealand in 1889, might have been developed as early as the 1870s.
But it was seven years later, in June 1867, that he achieved gold industry immortality with the lodging of a patent in London for a new process for the refining of gold using chlorine gas. Within two years, the first full-scale plants employing the process had been successfully commissioned in the Sydney Mint and also in Auckland (gold having ...
Experience has shown how difficult it is to obtain information regarding laboratory tests in connection with the chlorination-process for the extraction of gold from its ores, and I therefore present the following method, somewhat in detail, for the benefit of those who may desire to pursue research work in this field.. The ore chosen was a partly-decomposed …
It can be illustrated that the pre-oxidation of the gold ore by Mn-oxide oxidation controlled Au-extraction efficiency, and with the dissolution of 93.3 % As and 92.5 % Sb from the gold ore in the usage of Mn-oxide-assisted hydrochloric acid oxidation process, it obtains Au extraction ratio of 97.2 % by chlorination leaching.
Carlin Trend. It is assumed that carbon not only sorbed gold during ore genesis and retained bonds with it in ores, direct ones as Au-C as well as through Au-S-C (NH 2) 2 thiocarbamide functional groups, but formed bi-element cluster compounds with gold in the course of metamorphous process and carbonation.
