On The Physicochemical Problems Of Aqueous Oxidation Of Polymetallic Gold Bearing Sulphide Ore In An Autoclave, Zeljko J. Kamberovic
Zeljko J Kamberovic
The paper presents a study on the physical and chemical changes of iron, copper and zinc sulphide minerals in process of pressure oxidation. Oxidation in autoclave is a pre-treatment unit operation for refractory sulphide ores and concentrates in order to valorisat gold, which is encapsuled mainly in pyrite matrix. Raw materials and solid residues are charasterisated. Basing on the results of chemical reactions and on shape of solids residue, we came to a conclusion concerning the mechanism of oxidation in autoclave. The results show that modelling of the process parameters of oxidation in autoclave can be used to predict efficiency …
