Gold Recovery from a Gold Tailing by Floatation and Thiourea Leaching
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2ND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED MATERIAL ENGINEERING (AME 2016)(2016)
Abstract
With the feature of high pyrite, high gold, fine gold dissemination in a gold tailing, experimental studies of floatation and thiourea leaching were carried out on a gold ore. The results showed that single floatation or thiourea leaching process was not suitable for this tailing. The grade and recovery of gold concentrate was 50.62 g/t and 82.68 % respectively by flotation with the particle size of -320 mesh 85%. The thiourea leaching rate was 66% with the particle size of -320 mesh 85%. The leaching rate was 89.24 % by floatation- thiourea combined process. The particle size of the floation circuit and the tailing thiourea circuit was -320 mesh 85%. The floatation- tailing thiourea leaching combined process was recommended to treat this ore.
