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 …
Leaching Of Copper(I) Sulphide By Sulphuric Acid Solution With Addition Of Sodium Nitrate, Zeljko J. Kamberovic
Leaching Of Copper(I) Sulphide By Sulphuric Acid Solution With Addition Of Sodium Nitrate, Zeljko J. Kamberovic
Zeljko J Kamberovic
Finely grained samples of copper(I) sulphide were leached by H2SO4 solution with added NaNO3. The occurrence probability of chemical reactions was analysed based on literature data and products which were formed during the process and the overall leaching reaction was defined. The effect of temperature, concentration of NaNO3 and H2SO4, stirring speed, phase ratio and time, on the leaching degree of copper was studied. The quantity of copper dissolved increases with growth of the values of all the parameters. Kinetic analysis shows that the leaching mechanism is very complex. By using appropriate mathematical kinetic models, it is found that the …
