A novel process was studied to extract economic metals from refractory ores that are difficult to leach with cyanide and ammonium thiosulfate, such as the well-known mangano argentiferous minerals, which are minerals of manganese, iron, and silver. The mineral under consideration originates from the tailings of the Monte del Favor, Hostotipaquillo Jalisco, Mexico.
The effect of pyrite and the role of ammonium alcohol polyvinyl phosphate (AAPP) during gold leaching in ammoniacal thiosulfate solutions were investigated using pure gold foils. The results showed that pyrite catalyzed the decomposition and also significantly increased the consumption of thiosulfate. This detrimental effect became severe with increasing pyrite content.
Apr 20, 2017 A novel process was studied to extract economic metals from refractory ores that are difficult to leach with cyanide and ammonium thiosulfate, such as the well-known mangano argentiferous minerals, which are minerals of manganese, iron, and silver. The mineral under consideration originates from the tailings of the Monte del Favor, Hostotipaquillo Jalisco,.
Precious metals such as gold and silver are recovered from difficult-to-treat ores, particularly those containing manganese, by lixiviating using an ammonium thiosulfate leach solution containing copper, sufficient ammonia to maintain a pH of at least 7.0, and at least 0.05 sulfite ion, sulfite and thiosulfate requirements being maintained by the reaction in situ of sulfur.
Thiosulphate leaching is a process that removes gold from gold bearing ores without the use of cyanide. Although not as aggressive a leaching agent as cyanide, thiosulphate offers several technological advantages including its lower toxicity and greater efficiency with gold deposits associated with preg-robbing ores.
Thiosulfate leaching of gold (Chen, 2008). This shows how much a mineralogical investigation is important to be performed before leaching study of any gold ore by the thiosulfate process. Several gold localities are scattered in the Arabian Shield of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia which has about 20 million tons of recoverable gold ores.
May 01, 2003 The copper-catalyzed gold oxidation and reduction mechanisms in ammonium thiosulfate solution were investigated by Eh-pH diagram based on the optimum reagent combination for a 60 (by weight) -75-μm silicate ore containing 16-g t Au with the maximum gold extraction of 92 and the minimum ammonium thiosulfate consumption of.
The application of ammonium thiosulfate for the treatment of copper-gold ores has been investigated. Leaching studies were conducted with copper minerals, copper minerals with gold addition to solution and copper-gold samples of different copper and gold grades. The behaviour of thiosulfate, tetrathionate and sulfate in solution was studied using ion chromatography. The.
Effect of ammonia, effect of cupric ions, and few other variables affecting the gold leaching have been studied. The ammoniacal thiosulphate leaching of gold is dependant on both ammonia and thiosulphate concentration. The leaching is improved significantly at a particular ratio of ammonia to thiosulphate.
1998. Description. The application of ammonium thiosulfate for the treatment of copper-gold ores has been investigated. Leaching studies were conducted with copper minerals, copper minerals with gold addition to solution and copper-gold samples of different copper and gold grades. The behaviour of thiosulfate, tetrathionate and sulfate in.
Jul 21, 2019 A process of biooxidation followed by thiosulfate leaching of gold from refractory gold concentrate was investigated. Mineralogical studies on the concentrate showed that very fine gold grains ( 10 μm) were encapsulated in pyrite and arsenopyrite, while the proportion of monomer gold was only 21 . The gold-bearing sample was identified as a high-sulfur fine.
Jun 07, 2018 The sulphide minerals were partially decomposed in the pretreatment process and thiosulphate consumption was reduced during leaching. Gold extraction in 0.8 M ammonia and 0.1 M thiosulphate.
Ammonium thiosulfate solution is an ideal lixiviant to extract gold (Au) from electronic wastes (E-wastes) because it is non-toxic, less corrosive, and selective than conventional cyanide or halide solutions. It was reported recently, however, that.
The application of ammonium thiosulfate for the treatment of copper–gold ores has been investigated. Copper minerals and copper–gold samples were leached in an ammonium thiosulfate solution under varying experimental conditions, i.e. aeration, temperature and reagent addition. The behaviour of thiosulfate, tetrathionate and sulfate in.
Nov 01, 2001 Thiosulfate offers a nontoxic alternative to cyanide for processing gold ores. The mechanism of leaching gold using ammoniacal thiosulfate solution is driven by the Cu(II)-Cu(I) redox couple and is complicated by competing ligands such as NH 3 and S 2 O 3 2−.It is shown that an understanding of the copper speciation and sulfur speciation is required to.
In a resin-in-leach system, full gold recovery was also achievable with sufficient resin after 24 h leach with 0.06 M fresh ammonium thiosulfate and 2 mM EDTA at an agitation speed of 250 r min. Key words Gold leaching, Thiosulfate, Additives, Leaching kinetics, Thiosulfate stability.
The ammoniacal thiosulfate leaching process for gold and silver extraction has been reviewed in terms of leaching mechanism, thermodynamics, thiosulfate stability, and gold recovery options. The application to different ore types and process options have also been discussed. The thiosulfate leaching process it catalysed by copper and has several advantages over.
Processes for recovering gold from copper-gold ores thiosulfate leaching or gold ores copper catalyzed thiosulfate leaching using ion exchange technology are disclosed. The processes include subjecting the gold-bearing and copper-bearing thiosulfate solution to a pH and or temperature adjustment to reduce tetrathionate concentration in the thiosulfate solution prior.
Thiosulfate is considered a non-toxic alternative to cyanide and can leach gold faster than cyanide. In the conventional cyanide process, the recovery of gold and silver from ores is hindered by a variety of metal impurities like copper, arsenic, antimony, zinc and nickel, since these consume either cyanide or oxygen.
Dec 10, 2020 The application of ammonium thiosulfate for the treatment of copper-gold ores has been investigated. Leaching studies were conducted with copper minerals, copper minerals with gold addition to solution and copper-gold samples of different copper and gold grades. The behaviour of thiosulfate, tetrathionate and sulfate in solution was studied.
Jun 02, 2009 Sodium Thiosulfate will leach all of the salts of silver and gold and leave a colorless solution. Pgm salts will leave an orange to red solution. Ammonium Thiosulfate is an alternative to cyanide leaching. It will leach gold, generally at a higher redox rate than cyanide, but does not recover well on charcol. Most such systems use resin recovery.
