The Bacterial Oxidation (BIOX) process for the pre-treatment of refractory ores for gold recovery developed by Genmin, the mining division of Gencor, has been operating successfully at the ...
Commercial success started with the mesophilic oxidation of refractory gold ores via the now-well-established BIOX® process. This was followed by the development of the BioCOP™ process for extracting copper from concentrates. In its initial format, this was a mesophilic process with limited capabilities for recovery of copper from chalcopyrite.
The BIOX ® gold process has revolutionized the treatment of refractory gold ores that were once uneconomical to pursue. Silvateam's Aurumer B-Ox further improves this process by drastically increasing the recovery of gold in the counter-current decantation circuit. Aurumer B-Ox has proven to increase overall gold recovery by 2-3%, adding ...

RioZim selected BIOX® as the preferred technology for the treatment of the refractory gold concentratefor their Cam & Motor gold mine located near the town of Kadoma, approximately one hour's drive southwest of - Harare, Zimbabwe. The BIOX plant was designed for an ultimate capacity of 200 tpd of concentrate, but the
The plant is expected to increase gold mining efficiency by processing Gold-Sulphur ores Plant to increase processing capacity by 50 per cent. Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed and diversified mining group, RioZim, commissioned a US$17 million Biological Oxidation (BIOX) plant at the Cam and Motor gold mining operation in Kadoma on April 14, 2022.
"The OKTOP ® BIOX ® Reactor provides increased operational efficiency with the most energy-efficient agitator design available for the BIOX process," states Waldemar Olivier, Senior Process Engineer, Gold, at . "The reactor features a dual-pumping agitator that maximizes surface aeration, increasing oxygen mass transfer and ...
The BIOX® process is a patented technology for pre-treatment of sulphide-based refractory ores and concentrates ahead of a conventional cyanide leach for gold recovery. Outotec, the owner of the patent has produced an ASTER™ process design package for the biological destruction of residual cyanide and thiocyanate.

solubilised in the BIOX process can be removed efficiently from solution during neutralisation and fixated as a stable basic ferric-arsenate precipitate that can be safely deposited onto a tailing storage facility. Conclusion The BIOX process for refractory gold recovery from the Runruno concentrate was successfully implemented. The
MesoTHERM technology application treating refractory gold samples has seen cyanide consumption reduced by up to 50% compared to mesophile BIOX products. In 2010, …
The effect of bio-oxidation and neutral atmospheric oxidation pre-treatment of refractory gold concentrates on gold and silver extraction during cyanidation was investigated. A series of pre-treatment experiments was conducted on three high sulfur (> 9%) refractory concentrates with 0.92–1.25 g/t gold and 64–90 g/t silver. Cyanidation of the pre-treated …
It currently utilises three Outotec-licensed processes: the Bacterial Oxidation (BIOX™) process for the liberation of sulfide-entrained refractory gold, the Activated Sludge Tailings Effluent Remediation (ASTER™) process for the destruction of thiocyanate, and the High Temperature Caustic Conditioning (HiTeCC™) process for the reduction ...
Keywords: BIOX, Au, Ag recovery, gold ore 1. Introduction BIOX is a biohydrometallurgical process for the pre-cyanidation treatment of refractory gold ores. This process offers an alternative to conventional roasting or pressure oxidation techniques. The nucleus of the BIOX process is the exploitation of a naturally occurring mixed bacterial ...
The year 2005 can be considered to mark the development and commissioning of a new generation BIOXTM plants to treat refractory gold ore concentrates.
