The invention discloses a sodium cyanate gold leaching technology, comprising the steps of: grinding gold concentrate to enable 400-mesh particles to be 85%-95% of grinded gold concentrate, mixing to be thick liquid with a liquid-solid mass ratio of 2:1 to 5:1, adding 8kg/t of Cao4 and 1-3kg/t of Na2CO3 as leaching agents, adjusting a system pH value to be 9-12, adding 0.05-0.8% of sodium ...
Apr 24, 2017· This was the first commercial method used for gold extraction. Place the ore into the mortar and grind it to the size of sand grains. Put the ore grains into a plastic bowl. Add the 35-percent hydrochloric acid to the sodium hypochlorite bleach into a flask or beaker, in a two-to-one ratio of acid to bleach. Ensure that the liquid mixture is at ...
Keywords: Gold; Ammoniacal thiosulphate; Leaching 1. INTRODUCTION In recent times, environment is one of the key factors while considering any leaching system in hydrometallurgy. Cyanide leaching has been in use since several decades for economic gold …
Moreover, sodium thiosulfate was used to strip gold from organic phase using Martins et al method, which obtained successful results in Abdollahi et al project. As a result, in this research, the possibility of gold transfer from organic phase (DNOS) by 0.5 M sodium thiosulfate was analyzed.
Feb 01, 2015· In this work, additive was used to reduce thiosulfate consumption and simultaneously increase gold leaching. Thiosulfate leaching without additive was not effective to treat a refractory gold concentrate calcine with high iron, sulfur and arsenic due to its low gold extraction (72.7%) and high thiosulfate consumption (42.4%).
Jul 27, 2012· Sodium thiosulfate will leach gold (dissolve gold), in the use of sodium thiosulfate to leach ore they use air or oxygen, many times ammonia is added, many time's copper is used as a catalyst for the reaction, keeping the pH regulated is also important for the leach to work.
