Improvement of gold recovery for double refractory gold ore with modified sequential bio-treatments
SDGs
Modified sequential bio-treatment of double refractory gold ore (DRGO) was developed to improve gold recovery. HCl washing was utilized after sulfide oxidation and before carbonaceous degradation. The maximum gold recovery was 85% in the sample after HCl washing and carbonaceous degradation but recovery was 64% in the sample after carbonaceous degradation without HCl washing. Although the difference of both sample was only HCl washing, HCl washing has significantly increased gold recovery. This is because HCl washing contributed to the removal of jarosite and effective carbonaceous degradation. Thus, treatments of DRGO should be modified by considering the ore’s own characteristics.
