Roasting Developments – Especially Oxygenated Roasting

Oxidative roasting is used extensively to pretreat base and precious metal–bearing materials and to oxidize iron sulfides to generate sulfur dioxide for fixation with lime or sulfuric acid production. For the recovery of gold from refractory ores and concentrates, roasting has been used extensively for decades.

Sulfuric Acid Baking—Water Leaching for Gold …

During the roasting of gold concentrate to improve gold recovery, arsenic is released into the air and valuable elements such as Fe, Cu, Zn, and Pb are converted into oxide minerals. In this research, we evaluated the release of As and the loss of valuable metals during the acid baking and hot water leaching processes used for gold concentrate. The acid bake …
