Metallurgy
Metallurgy - Leaching, Extraction, Refining: Oxides are leached with a sulfuric acid or sodium carbonate solvent, while sulfates can be leached with water or sulfuric acid. Ammonium hydroxide is used for native ores, carbonates, and sulfides, and sodium hydroxide is used for oxides. Cyanide solutions are a solvent for the precious metals, while a sodium chloride …

Ultrasound-intensified Leaching of Gold from a Refractory Ore …
The ultrasound increased remarkably the leaching ratio of gold when the pretreated ore was subjected to ultrasound leaching. The results showed that the appropriate acoustic power was a requirement during the ultrasound-intensified leaching. The leaching ratio of gold increased with an increasing of NaCN concentration from 6 to 18 kg/t.

Improved thiourea leaching of gold from a gold ore using …
The content distribution of gold in different phases (Table 3) also confirms the better performance of citrate than oxalate in improving gold leaching. Additionally, the thiourea consumption after 7 h decreased from 14.46 kg/t-ore (leaching 6 h without additive) to 10.26 kg/t-ore (oxalate) and 9.24 kg/t-ore (citrate).

Lead Oxide Enhances the Leaching of Gold in Cyanide Tailings
Deschênes et al. 12,13,14 added lead nitrate to cyanide leaching of gold ore containing 4.2% pyrrhotite; gold extraction can reach 94.2%, and adding lead nitrate to assist leaching of gold ore containing 0.4% chalcopyrite, gold extraction increased from < 90% to 98%. When combined with lead nitrate and oxygen, the leaching kinetics of gold ...
