This could explain the reason for low silver extractions from the ore under typical cyanide leaching conditions (−75 µm, 1.5 g/L NaCN) presumably due to the limited exposure of silver phases to cyanide solution (Celep et al., 2015a). In addition to acanthite, argentiferrous tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite and Fe-Pb-Ag-Zn arsenate/oxide (which is a ...

Heap leaching of gold and silver ores is conducted at approximately 120 mines worldwide. Heap leaching is one of several alternative process methods for treating precious metal ores, and is …
The morphology of the roasted product of a mineral can affect the leaching efficiency of silver. However, the morphological changes that occur during the specific roasting process cannot be quantitatively analysed using SEM. As shown in Fig. 4, sodium sulfite had a good leaching effect on the ore. Different pure mineral combinations of silver ...
In this study, an environmental friendly effective process was developed, which consisted of oxidation pretreatment, thiosulfate leaching and electrodeposition for silver recovery from anode slime and was proposed in the flow chat in Fig. 1.In the step of oxidation pretreatment, MnO 2 was used to treat anode slime in dilute sulphuric acid. As an effective …
The leaching behaviors of gold and silver from a complex sulfide concentrate in copper-tartrate-thiosulfate solutions were investigated in this paper. Experimental parameters, including temperature, initial pulp pH, and concentration of copper, tartrate, and thiosulfate, were systematically studied. The copper-tartrate-thiosulfate leaching system exhibits promising …
Heap leaching for silver is conducted using the same principles and operating practices as for gold, but heap leach operations produce only a small ... However, the silver ore leached very slowly and residence time of up to 4 days was needed in an agitated leach plant. Although the heap leach took several months to
Keywords: thiosulfate; gold leaching; silver leaching; kinetic analysis; sedimentary ore; diffusion control; mixed control 1. Introduction The mining activity in Mexico has focused mainly on gold and silver ores, the processing of which entails grinding, froth flotation, and cyanidation stages.
Heap leaching of gold and silver began in 1969 at Cortez (Kappes 2005), which is still in operation with major expansions over years. The US Bureau of Mines (USBM) developed heap leaching of gold and silver in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a low-cost option for low-grade hydrothermal oxide ores.
The effects of CMC, EDTA and NiSO 4 on thiosulphate leaching of silver ore were also investigated to further improve/maximise the extraction of silver. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of potential leaching reactions for those mineral phases identified in the ore was performed. Leaching behaviour of other elements such as As, Fe, Sb, Zn and ...
The simultaneous recovery of Mn and Ag from manganese–silver ore at room temperature in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid was investigated (Jiang et al., ... The study of manganiferous ore leaching using whey (waste from cheese factories) as reducing agent in sulphuric acid solution was investigated by Veglio et al. (2000 ...
In order to obtain the optimum leaching conditions for the silver ore, the effects of several parameters, namely, temperature, leaching time, NaCl and NaOCl concentration, solid ratio, and particle size on the leaching recovery were investigated in detail. The leaching experiments showed that the highest silver recovery of 62.35% was obtained ...
At the moment, thiosulfate leaching is the one of the most developed and the only implemented in industry alternative method to cyanidation due to the low toxicity and high efficiency in treatment of preg-robbing gold ore (Breuer and Jeffrey, 2000, Marsden and House, 2006, Muir and Aylmore, 2005).Nevertheless, it still has drawbacks such as complexity of the …
Heap leaching of gold and silver ores is conducted at approximately 120 mines worldwide. Heap leaching is one of several alternative process methods for treating precious …
This aggressive method of leaching is typically used for ores and concentrates that are not amenable to atmospheric leaching, such as sulphides. Each variation of leaching plays an …
Column-leaching tests were conducted on minus 2.5- plus 1.3-cm ore pieces to evaluate a dual in situ or heap leaching method for the recovery of manganese and silver from domestic manganese deposits. The method features an initial leach of the manganese with a 5-wt-pct-SO2 solution followed by a neutralization rinse, and then a second leach of ...
For the development of the study a gold and silver ore provided by the mining company "Las Chispas", located in Arizpe, Sonora, Mexico, was used. The ore contains 15.50 g/T of Au and 1550 g/T of Ag. Leaching was carried out at moderate pressures using sodium cyanide and DEZO as lixiviants for Au and Ag extraction.
The perfect conditions for the leaching of silver was found to be 0.5 M TU in 0.01 M H 2 SO 4 at 60 °C, Under the ideal leaching conditions, a normal of 6.8 mg/g of silver were …
In tank-lixiviation of silver by chlorination, the extraction of the silver from chloridized ore by solutions of hyposulphite salts is performed by filtration.The ore-particles are kept stationary, while the solvent moves down through the mass of ore. The quickness of extraction, other conditions alike, is in direct proportion to the rapidity of the movement of the …
Leaching of gold and silver from the pretreated ore using lixiviant containing amino acids of microbial origin and thiosulphate (reproduced from Spasova et al., 2006). Cyanide-free thiosulphate gold leaching has been researched extensively and applied on an industrial scale since late 2014.
Some sedimentary minerals have attractive contents of gold and silver, like a sedimentary exhalative ore available in the eastern of Hidalgo in Mexico. The gold and silver contained represent an interesting opportunity for processing by non-toxic and aggressive leaching reagents like thiosulfate. The preliminary kinetic study indicated that the leaching process was poorly …
With direct autoclave leaching according to dependence for extraction of copper and silver on solution composition and temperature (Fig. 2a) silver extraction hardly occurs at below 180°C.This may be connected with the low degree of breakdown of copper minerals, present in the concentrate, where silver is in clos e association with sulfide minerals.
Leaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, etc., to achieve either one or …
The ongoing depletion of gold and silver-containing ore deposits demands a shift towards the processing of more complex sources. Leaching of gold or silver from these sources, which are named refractory and are typically low-grade, can be complicated due to one or more of the following effects: (1) kinetic or thermodynamic impediments on cyanide diffusion or on the …

Characterization techniques included scanning electron microscopy ...
The processing of gold and silver ore by leaching is one of the most prominent examples of early hydrometallurgy-based processes. Most of the gold extraction from ore is accomplished by the implementation of an alkaline cyanide leaching process. The chemical recovery of gold can be defined by two different operations: the oxidative dissolution ...
A one-step process was proposed by Jiang (2003) and involves the simultaneous leaching of manganese and silver directly from the primary resource in sulfuric acid solution with hydrogen peroxide. However, one-step process has proven to only be effective for the manganese–silver ore with high silver content.
