Gold sulfide (Au₂S) roasting method is a high-temperature oxidation treatment method. Through high-temperature roasting, the sulfur element in the gold sulfide is converted into gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and the gold is converted into an extractable oxidized state or metallic gold. This process is mainly used for the pre-smelting treatment of gold sulfide ore or gold-containing sulfides.
The rationality of mineral processing flowsheets directly impacts production efficiency and must be formulated based on ore testing, production practices, and practical conditions.
Gold extraction from carbon-in-leach (CIL) is an efficient gold extraction process that combines gold leaching with adsorption processes to reduce equipment and energy consumption and improve gold recovery.
Choosing the appropriate rotary kiln equipment requires careful consideration of various factors, including material type, production requirements, kiln design, equipment performance, and the manufacturer's reputation.
The company's technical experts explained in detail the customized beneficiation solutions based on the characteristics of local antimony oxide ore in Libya, covering the whole process from ore pretreatment to concentrate extraction.
Kazakhstan customers visited our company to conduct an on-site inspection of gold ore dressing equipment. Accompanied by the engineering team, the customers visited the core equipment such as crushing, screening, grinding and flotation in turn, and had in-depth exchanges on related technical issues.
In the actual operation process, flotation has become an indispensable mineral processing technology in Vietnam's gold mine projects because of its strong adaptability to fine-grained gold ores and complex polymetallic ores.
In the Vietnamese gold mining market, the application prospects of flotation technology and its equipment are relatively broad, especially in the treatment of complex ores and the improvement of gold recovery rate.
With the steady growth of global gold prices, the development of gold resources has gradually become the focus of attention of all countries. As an important mineral resource country in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has a certain amount of gold resources, especially in the northern mountainous areas and some central areas, which have great development potential. Flotation has become one of the important means of processing medium and low-grade gold ores due to its high gold recovery rate and wide range of application.
Before refining the native gold ore, pretreatment is required, mainly to crush the large ore into fine particles, usually requiring -200 mesh (i.e., particle diameter less than 0.074 mm) to account for about 60%-80%, to ensure that the gold minerals are fully dissociated from other minerals, creating conditions for subsequent beneficiation and extraction operations. Then the refining is carried out, and the main methods are gravity separation, flotation, cyanidation and smelting.
The purpose of using leaching agents in gold ore pretreatment is to induce chemical reactions between the agents and gold or other components in the ore, thereby disrupting the encapsulating structure of gold, liberating and dissolving gold into solution. This improves the efficiency and recovery rate of subsequent gold extraction.
Cyanidation is the most widely used and highest recovery method in gold extraction, especially for refractory ores with fine gold particles or closely associated with gangue.
Gravity separation uses the density difference between gold and gangue minerals for separation. It is mainly used for the recovery of coarse or medium gold, especially suitable for placer gold and some quartz vein gold mines with high natural gold content.
Flotation is to adjust the reagent system to make the surface of gold particles hydrophobic and attach to bubbles to achieve separation. It is applicable to sulfide gold ores or complex ores with gold and multiple metals coexisting.
High sulfide gold ores often contain a large amount of pyrite, arsenopyrite and other sulfide minerals. The gold grade is usually low, and the gold particles are small and tightly wrapped by sulfide minerals, making it difficult to recover directly through the cyanidation method. For this type of gold ore, flotation technology is an economical and effective choice. Through flotation, gold can be enriched in copper, lead, sulfur and other concentrates, and then gold can be extracted from them, which not only improves the gold recovery rate, but also realizes the comprehensive utilization of multiple metals.
The beneficiation process of antimony oxide needs to select a suitable method according to the properties of the ore (such as mineral composition, embedded particle size, associated impurities, etc.). The core process includes crushing and screening, gravity separation/flotation separation and tailings treatment.
