Due to the increasing concerns over the emission of sulfur dioxide from roasting and smelting, there has been an increased interest in pressure oxidation as a means of treating gold bearing ores and concentrates. One of the problems with the partial oxidation of the sulfide host matrix to form elemental sulfur is that sulfur containing streams are difficult to treat using cyanidation. In the pr...

A significant part of the primary gold reserves in world is contained sulphide ores, many types which are refractory processing. The deposits ores will be main potential source production future. and silver can associated with micro- nano-sized inclusions Au Ag minerals as well isomorphous, adsorbed other species noble metals (NM) not thoroughly investigated. For gold-bearing Urals, distributio...

Abstract The paper comprises new analytical data on the nature and occurrence of gold in solid pyrobitumen, closely associated with main gold-bearing sulfide arsenic ores Bakyrchik deposit (Kazakhstan), related to post-collisional magmatic-hydrothermal origin. Gold mineralization occurs mainly form an “invisible” type structures arsenian pyrite arsenopyrite, gold-organic compounds pyrobitumen c...

This article investigates the effect of material size on efficiency flotation concentration gold-copperarsenic ores Taror deposit (Republic Tajikistan) and studies dependence gold recovery duration process with purpose developing an alternative technological scheme for processing this ore type. According to X-ray phase analysis, samples consist rock-forming minerals by 92%. Ore mineralization i...

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate mass fractions group noble metals (gold, silver, platinum, ruthenium, osmium, palladium, iridium, rhodium) in ores and host rocks Pioneer deposit (the Upper Amur Region, Russia) determine their migration activity hydrochemical classification ore by sizes. object primary oxidized ores, as well hosting this mineralization. employs method quantitativ...

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, highly acidophilic (pH 1.5 to 2.0), autotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy through the oxidation of ferrous iron or reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. It is usually dominant in the mixed bacterial populations that are used industrially for the extraction of metals such as copper and uranium from their ores. More recently, these bacterial con...
