orpiment, getchellite and stibnite from zarshuran deposit, nw iran, exhibit extensive as-sb substitution. there are four known minerals along as2s3-sb2s3 join, i.e. orpiment (as2s3), wakabayashilite [(as,sb)20s30], getchellite (assbs3) and stibnite (sb2s3). extensive mineralogical studies by scanning electron microscope (sem) and electron probe micro-analyzer (epma) indicate that getchellite fr...

Orpiment, getchellite and stibnite from Zarshuran deposit, NW Iran, exhibit extensive As-Sb substitution. There are four known minerals along As2S3-Sb2S3 join, i.e. orpiment (As2S3), Wakabayashilite [(As,Sb)20S30], getchellite (AsSbS3) and stibnite (Sb2S3).

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...

estimation of gold reserves and resources has been of interest to mining engineers and geologists for ages. the existence of outlier values shows the economic part of the deposits subject to the fact that don’t depend on the human or technical errors. the presence of these high values causes a pseudo dramatically increment in variance estimation of economical blocks when applying conventional m...

The Zarshuran Carlin-like gold deposit is located at the Takab Metallogenic belt in the northern part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, NW Iran. The high-grade ore bodies are mainly hosted by black shale and cream to gray massive limestone along the NNE-trending extensional fault/fracture zones. The aim of this investigation was to determine and separate the gold mineralized stages based on the surf...

since a high toxicity of cyanide which use as a reagent in the gold processing plant, thiosulfate has been recognized as a environmental friendly reagent for leaching of gold from ore. after gold leaching process it's important for recovery of gold from solution using adsorption or extraction methods, one of these methods is activated carbon.the loading of gold from industrial thiosulfate solut...
