Refractory Gold Concentrate

 

This invention released a gold extraction process for refractory gold orees through biological oxidation and thiourea leaching with resin-in-pulp, which is operated in the following procedures: biological oxidation of gold concentrate; thiourea leaching and resin adsorption; strippered solution treatment and then back to recycle. Using this technique to treat refractory gold concentrates, a gold leaching ratio up to 90% can be reached, the recycle of the stripper solution greatly decreases the consumptions of thiourea, nitric acid and water, which significanly cuts the operation cost and is also beneficial to environment protection.
