In contrast, gold in refractory sulfide ores occurs mainly as minute particles and submicroscopic gold, and microscopic gold usually accounts for an insignificant portion. In gold ores containing carbonaceous material, the preg-robbing nature of carbonaceous material may impose challenges on gold extraction and cause gold losses.

Low-grade refractory sulphide gold ores exist in which the gold values are too low to economically justify the use of pre-concentration processes. The pre-concentration process (usually flotation) is followed by the oxidation of the sulphidic concentrate to render the gold amenable to a subsequent cyanide leach. Oxidation processes that have ...

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 ...

Gold particles in an ore deposit will vary in size from large nuggets to particles locked in the crystal lattice of sulfide minerals. These sulfide minerals are referred to as gold carrier minerals and contain trace to minor amounts of gold (Taggart, 1927, Chryssoulis and Cabri, 1990).Often it is found that gold ores are refractory due to the small size of the gold …
