The present invention is directed to flotation of refractory gold sulfide ores in which the ore is ground, floated, the tailings reground, and refloated to produce gold- bearing concentrates.
The present invention is directed to flotation of refractory gold sulfide ores in which the ore is ground, floated, the tailings reground, and refloated to produce gold-bearing concentrates.
The present invention is directed to a precious metal recovery process in which carbonaceous material, such as preg robbing carbon, is floated after sulfide oxidation to separate the carbonaceous material from the precious metal.
The present invention is directed to flotation of refractory gold sulfide ores and to pressure oxidized residue neutralization using flotation tailings that have been contacted with an off gas of pressure oxidation.
A method for suppressing mercury dissolution during pressure oxidation of precious metal-containing materials in the presence of halogens and halides is provided. Pressure oxidation is performed under controlled oxidative conditions to maintain the mercury predominantly in the solid residue.
A method for recovering zinc ions by selective zinc sulfide precipitation from an aqueous solution comprising zinc ions and metal ions of a metal that precipitates as a metal sulfide at a pH lower than a pH at which zinc ions precipitate as a zinc sulfide.
The present invention is directed to a precious metal recovery process in which basic ferric sulphates and/or jarosites are controlled by hot curing of the autoclave discharge slurry followed by decomposition of argentojarosite using strong acid consumers.
