The gold in refractory ores is often locked within sulphide minerals, or it may be present as fine particles 'invisible' to the naked eye. The presence of organic carbon, certain clays, or minerals that naturally absorb gold can also make these ores refractory. ... Processing refractory ores often requires pre-treatment steps such as roasting ...
Sulphide minerals, as pyrite, FeS2, chalcopyrite and CuFeS2, are one of the most important sources of value metals, such as gold, silver, copper, zinc, etc. Due to the strong sulfur binding to these minerals, metals are usually extracted by metallurgical process of chemical oxidation.
The literature on sulfide minerals is extensive, with a number of overview textbooks and monographs. Comprehensive reviews can be found in Ribbe (), Vaughan and Craig (), and, most recently, in Vaughan ().The present article provides a brief overview of the compositions and crystal structures of the major sulfide minerals, aspects of their …
In roasting, air in large amounts, sometimes enriched with oxygen, is brought into contact with the sulfide mineral concentrate. This is done at elevated …
The sulphide ore fed to the roasting plant is treated under sulphating roast conditions, followed by hydrometallurgical extraction. Equipment for the first roasting line has been installed and the plant commissioning completed. ... Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, USA.

In this study, a combined process consisting of salt roasting and acid leaching was conducted to recover copper per sulphide concentrate with 43.5% of chalcopyrite.
Phase transformations, mechanisms of decomposition, and oxidation of sulphide minerals are ... components during copper-zinc sulphide raw material roasting is modelled using an HSC Chemistry 6.0
The fluidized bed sulfation roasting process followed by water leaching was investigated as an alternative process to treat nickel sulfide concentrate for nickel production. The effects of several roasting parameters, such as the sulfation gas flow rate, roasting temperature, the addition of Na2SO4, and the roasting time, were studied. 79 pct Ni, 91 pct Cu, and …
About 80% of the worlds' reserves for platinum group metals (PGMs) are in South Africa's Bushveld Igneous Complex. Processing of PGM involves comminution, flotation, smelting, …
Roasting is the oxidation of metal sulphides to give metal oxides and sulphur dioxide. Typical examples are: . 2 ZnS 3 O. 2 ZnO 2 SO. 2 FeS 5.5 O. Fe. O 4 SO. 2 PbS 3 O. O …
Soda ash is a commonly used pH regulator. It aids the flotation of galena and silver sulphides. When the silver and lead minerals are in the oxidized state, sodium sulphide is helpful, but it should not be added until after the sulphide minerals have been floated, because sodium sulphide inhibits flotation of the silver sulphide minerals.
Isothermal Sulphation Roasting of Nickel Sulphide Minerals … 225. reaction interface during the oxidation of sulphides. However, Figs. 4c and d show significant liquid phase sintering morphology. This morphology may be due to the fact that after the addition of sodium sulphate, an intermediate liquid phase was
The K d value of non-sulfide ores is generally less than 1 ml/g, while the K d value of antimony-containing sulfide minerals can reach 2000 ml/g (bouronite and tetrahedrite), and the adsorption treatment rate of these two kinds of sulfide ores also exceeds 99%. The results show that the excellent characteristics of sulfide minerals for Tc ...
Cyanide-refractory ores constitute 30 % of the world's gold mineral resource base. With the global decrease in the availability of high-grade and free-milling ores, low-quality ores, including ...
of the oxidising agent plays a role in selectively leaching different minerals. The optimised roasting conditions at high temperatures resulted in some type of precipitates, (mohrite, ferrihydrite and akaganeite) that are not commonly formed in industry. ... 2.3 Roasting of sulphide ores 21 2.3.1 Partial roasting 21 2.3.2 Dead roasting 24 2.4 ...
Pyrite was used as the representative sulfidic mineral phase to compare the roasting mechanism of sulfide minerals by conventional versus microwave-assisted …
Processing refractory ores often requires pre-treatment steps such as roasting, pressure oxidation, or bioleaching to alter the chemical state of the ore and liberate the gold for recovery.
The following is the response that occurs during roasting. 2 ZnS (s) + 3 O 2 (g) → 2 ZnO (s) + CO 2 (g) Zinc sulphide is transformed into zinc oxide in this process. Ores are not dehydrated during the roasting process. When you roast something, you get a lot of different reactions. Roasting is mostly applied to sulphide ores.
The roasting of sulfide ores and concentrates is one of the most important steps in pyrometallurgical metal production from primary raw materials, due to the necessity of …
The optimal process conditions are roasting temperature 700°C, holding time 120 min, and the particle size less than 200 mesh. Microwave roasting mechanism shows microwave heat minerals (ZnS and FeS) selectively without heating gangue minerals (CaO, MgO, and SiO 2), a significant

We ofer roasting solutions for zinc, copper, pyrite, gold, and precious metals concentrates, as well as whole ores – regardless of chemical and physical composition. Our solutions …
Pre-treatment techniques, comprising oxidation roasting, chlorination and aqueous pressure oxidation, which are widely applied for the treatment of refractory sulphide gold ores, are time and cost ...
In addition to common metals like copper, lead, zinc, and nickel a number of other metals such as antimony, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, and molybdenum occur as sulfide minerals. Sulfides are not reduced with the most widely used reducing agents, carbon and hydrogen, because the free energy change for the reactions 2MS + C = 2M + CS2 and …
Complex sulphide ores represent considerable reserves and resources in base non ferrous metals, in precious metals, and in sulphur. Some of their essential characteristics, which allow a general presentation of the complexity of their processing options, from the ore to the pure metals or finished products, have already been presented by the author (1,2).
