Oxide ore deposits are frequently of such low grade (e.g., 3 to 10 parts per million) that extensive mineral processing cannot economically be justified. In this case they are merely shattered by explosives and then piled into heaps for ...

view moreOxidation of Sulfides – Liberation of Gold and Silver Most refractory gold ores and sulphide concentrates require some degree of oxidation of the sulphides to liberate gold locked as 'solid solution' or as very fine inclusions in the gold bearing sulphide minerals.
view morePressure Oxidation is a process for extracting gold from refractory ore. The most common refractory ores are pyrite and arsenopyrite, which are sulfide ores that trap the gold within them. Refractory ores require pre-treatment before the gold can be adequately extracted.

In this paper the successful implementation of the process, from initial testing through to commissioning at one of the world's largest refractory gold mines is described.

view morePressure Oxidation Pressure oxidation is employed to liberate gold and silver in refractory sulfide concentrates often and ores. The main pressure oxidation products from iron sulfide minerals are sulfuric acid (and metal sulfates) and hematite. Depending on the conditions within the autoclave, acid containing iron compounds can be formed.
view moreThe refractory nature of the concentrate requires a pressure oxidation (POX) step to oxidise the sulfide minerals and unlock the value metals. The oxidation of sulfides is a highly exothermic reaction. The energy generated by the reaction of the sulfide minerals is such that the autoclave temperature can exceed the 210 – 230°C operating
