Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores
Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT, Aeropromoter 404) is a fairly specialized collector ( Finkelstein and Poling, 1977) and is the preferred collector for the flotation of gold and gold-carrying pyrite in acid circuits ( O'Connor and Dunne, 1991 ). It is also recommended for oxidized and partially oxidized pyritic gold ores.

Metals | Free Full-Text | A Pretreatment of Refractory Gold Ores …
The use of thiosulfate to extract gold from refractory ores is promising because of its non-toxicity and high selectivity. Sulfide minerals (i.e., pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite), major gold carriers in refractory gold ores, however, hinder gold extraction due to the high consumption of a lixiviant. In this study, a new method to improve gold …
Geometallurgical Characterization and Automated Mineralogy of Gold Ores
For refractory gold ores, in which gold occurs mainly as submicroscopic gold in sulfide minerals and is associated with carbonaceous matter in some deposits, pretreatment is required before leaching, making gold ore processing more challenging and ore characterization more important. 3.1. Classification of Gold Ores and Minerals3.1.1. …

A clean and efficient innovative technology for refractory sulfide gold
Regarding sulfide gold ore (Fig. 6 (b)), differences in the composition of the raw material resulted in different peak concentrations of thiosulfate generated from sulfide gold ores after thermal activation pretreatment. The possible reason is that the pyrolysis of arsenopyrite led to more sulfur volatilization and an increase in the impurity ...

The treated ore is then cyanided in the usual way and the gold recovered by electrolytic precipitation. Whether or not any precious metal was dissolved in the preliminary cyanide treatment was not stated. In another elimination method the copper mineral is dissolved out by means of ammonia after which the ore is cyanided as usual.
Pretreatment of refractory gold minerals by ozonation …
When the gold is encapsulated in the sulphide matrix, dissolved oxygen and cyanide cannot reach the gold minerals' surface. It causes poor gold extraction [14].In this regard, gold ores can be categorized into "refractory ores'' and "free milling" based on their response to cyanidation [46].Under the standard leaching condition, the gold ores that …
How Is Gold Extracted From Gold Ore? | Sciencing
In one, the ground ore is put into a tank containing a weak cyanide solution and zinc is added. The zinc causes a chemical reaction which separates the gold from the ore. The gold is then removed from the solution with a filter press. For the carbon-in-pulp method, the ground ore is mixed with water before cyanide is added.
