Because target minerals (sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and galena) were concentrated by crushing in the portion of ...

US Patent for Gold recovery from refractory carbonaceous ...

A process for treatment of precious metal ores in which gold is leached from an oxidized ore slurry using a thiosulfate salt lixiviant and copper catalyst. Gold and copper are subsequently loaded onto an ion exchange resin.

Copper extraction from copper sulfide ores accounts for ~80% of global copper production; pyrite is the main gangue mineral that exists with chalcopyrite . Thus, high selectivity in separation of pyrite from chalcopyrite is a priority. Various depressants have been used to modify the hydrophilicity of the pyrite surface to achieve this separation.

Fig. 2 shows the effect of pH on the flotation recovery of minerals in the presence and absence of copper ions In the absence of the copper ions, the recovery values of both pyrite and arsenopyrite fluctuated between 55 % and 65 % at pH 2.5–6.5. Furthermore, their floatability rapidly decreased when the pH value was above 6.5. Two samples with similar flotation behaviors are clearly …
