In this study, cyanidation experiments were carried out on a massive sulfide ore sample, whose grades of the precious metals gold and silver were found to be 4.2 g/t and 311.9 g/t, respectively. Other elements in the ore were arsenic with average grade of 1,751.6g/t; antimony, 619.7 g/t; zinc, 781.4 g/t; copper, 454.6 g/t; lead, 101.8 g/t; mercury, 324.3 g/t; and …
The process of mining for silver is broken down into three steps: removing ore from the earth, breaking it down and then flushing the silver from ore. The first step involves drilling holes in the silver-rich areas geologists have previously …
Roasting: In this process the sulfide ores are heated to a high temperature in presence of air. Smelting: In this process heat is applied to the ore in order to extract the base metals like silver (Ag), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) etc. Often before roasting, the ore (generally sulfide ores) is partially purified using another important
The oxidation roasting pretreatment process, which is a mature and dominant industrial practice for treating complex polymetallic gold deposits, has a low recovery of associated silver and exhibits an unclear reaction sequence. This study takes a silver-containing gold ore as the research object and investigates the effect of (i) sodium sulfite as an additive, …
Roasting is a process of heating a sulfide ore to a high temperature in the presence of air. It is a step in the processing of certain ores.More specifically, roasting is often a metallurgical process involving gas–solid reactions at elevated temperatures with the goal of purifying the metal component(s). Often before roasting, the ore has already been partially purified, e.g. by froth ...

Refractory gold ore is usually affected by the associated carbonaceous matter through the preg-robbing effect, which is eliminated by oxidation roasting, followed by leaching, to achieve a satisfactory gold leaching efficiency. Roasting–leaching experiments, pore structure measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction are used to explore …
Roasting is the simplest and most frequently used oxida-tive process. Roasting consists of heating the ores/concentrates below the fusion point in contact with air, oxygen, water vapor, carbon, sulfur, or chlorine. This aims to produce the desired chemical and/or physical change that will be beneficial to downstream processing for the recovery

This causes the sulfites to oxidize, separate from the ore, and become sulfur dioxide. Once all of the sulfides are oxidized, the remaining gold ore can be processed normally. The roasting method has been around for hundreds of years. Prior to the 20th century, the process was done by burning wood on top of the ore. This would raise the ...
Silver is often found with copper, gold, lead, and zinc. In many cases, there are mixtures of oxides and sulfide ores that require different treatment methods to separate them. Because silver does not leach in cyanide without special pretreatment, many deposits now are either wholly or …
The ore is from cobalt Ontario, so I believe it is pure silver metal with cobalt arsenide, silver arsenide and nickel arsenide So I would avoid the hcl wash on my 100 mesh crush as it would convert too much silver to silver chloride, thus the silver chloride would burn off in the furnace. Thanks for the insight!
The above process chain may merely be used as a way of changing the sulfide ore to a more reactive oxide form—the method also removes sulfur impurities. Cinnabar Mercury ore- Roasting of cinnabar HgS, produces mercury oxide {HgO} and sulfur dioxide, SO₂. The ore becomes an oxide; this making the extraction of mercury to be more comfortable.
