the mouteh refractory pyrite concentrates at pulp densities of 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6% were treated, using thiobacillus ferrooxidans dsm 581 and the same bacteria adapted on the mouteh pyritic concentrate. compared with a non-adapted culture, use of an adapted inoculum of t. ferrooxidans increased bioleaching rate of iron by a factor of 1.940, 2.011, 1.859 and 1.559 for pulp densities 1.5%, 3%, 4...

The orthogonal array design has been used to determine the optimum conditions for gold recovery from Zarshuran refractory gold sulfide ore (Iran) by direct cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation. The Taguchi method was used as the experimental design to determine the optimum conditions of dissolution behavior of gold with cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation from Zarshuran refractory gold ore . T...

background: this research studied the feasibility of a simple method for extracting gold from central processing units (cpus) of computer circuit boards without solvent. methods: ceramic and composite cpus of computer circuit boards were used. gold was extracted using a hydrometallurgical method in six stages: grinding of cpus, leaching in nitric acid, leaching in aqua regia, removing the exces...

The present chapter describes a new technology of pressure oxidation/cyanidation leaching for the dissolution of gold and silver and the recovery of the precious metals by using the electrochemical process of Electrocoagulation (EC). The novel method demonstrates that the oxidation and dissolution of gold and silver in alkaline cyanide solution can be conducted simultaneously in the same reacto...

Activated carbons are extremely versatile adsorbents for major industrial significance, especially for metal ions recovery from wastewaters. In this study, the activated carbon prepared from the hard shell of apricot stones, an agricultural solid, which was used for the gold recovery from gold-plating wastewater is investigated. Activated carbon was produced by chemical activation with phosphor...
