Review articleA systematic review of sustainable gold
Some refractory gold ores present unique challenges during metallurgical processing, such as cases in which gold occurs with other minerals. Roasting, pressure oxidation, bio-oxidation and ultrafine grinding are popular gold pre-treatment methods.The gold in ore is extremely fine, and exists as invisible or submicroscopic gold, which does not reveal the presence of any discrete grains of gold. In these gold ores, gold is chemically bound within the Minerals Free Full-Text Mineral Phase Evolution

Optimization of some parameters of stirred mill for ultra-fine
One of the most common causes of refractoriness gold and silver ores is the encapsulation of fine gold and silver particles within the matrix of sulphide minerals and gang [5], [6]. The size and location of the precious metals within the sulphide matrix determine the process required for its liberation and recovery.Hence, it is difficult to extract gold from ores using cyanide leaching, even after ultra-fine grinding . In order to render gold amenable to the subsequent cyanide leaching, oxidation pretreatment is considered to be an effective method for treatment of refractory gold ore, and breaks up the sulphide to oxides or sulphates before cyanidationMinerals Free Full-Text Mineral Phase Evolution during

Ultra Fine Grinding A Practical Alternative to Oxidative
The refractory nature of gold ores is often associated with gold finely disseminated in sulphide minerals, such as pyrite, at conventional grind sizes. Conventional milling can liberate the pyrite from the gangue allowing a low mass pyritic concentrate to be produced by a process such as flotation. However, direct leaching of the concentrateIn mineral processing, ores must go through a number of different operations to obtain the final products. Thus, mineral processing involves four major steps or stages: (1) comminution or size reduction, (2) size separation, (3) concentration or beneficiation by taking advantage of physical properties, and (4) dewatering.Mineral Processing SpringerLink

Enhanced Gold Recovery from Alkaline Pressure Oxidized
Pressure oxidation is a widely accepted method to treat refractory gold ores. Gold recovery is generally lower from alkaline than acidic pressure oxidation discharge due to passivation and incomplete oxidation of mineral. Gold ore from Goldstrike, NV, is a typical refractory gold ore containing sulfide and carbonaceous matter. Alkaline pressure Increasing cyanide concentrations to 5 g/L NaCN was found to enhance gold and silver extractions from 45% to 70% and 46% to 83%, respectively (as-received, d80: 80 µm).

Minerals Free Full-Text Gold Extraction from a Refractory
Many gold deposits contain finely disseminated gold particles in iron sulfide minerals such as pyrite. These minerals are called refractory gold ores because of the presence of gold, which occurs either as disseminated fine gold particles—typically <1 µm [] or as fine particles of gold encapsulated in the ore host [2,3].In certain ores, extraction The efficient processing of base metal sulfide ores and sulfidic gold ores is sometimes compromised by the presence of carbonaceous material (CM). One common way of dealing with the CM problem is to pre-float the CM before the flotation of the sulfide minerals. Most CM exhibits some crypto crystalline graphitic structure.Preg-robbing phenomena in the cyanidation of sulphide gold ores
