Case study flowsheets: copper–gold concentrate treatment

The conventional treatment of copper–gold concentrates involves smelting, converting, and electro-refining to produce a copper-cathode product. The conventional treatment of copper–gold concentrates does elicit some compelling reasons to seek an alternative hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of concentrate values.

Copper Mining and Processing: Processing Copper Ores

Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy, respectively, …

Treatment of a Copper-Rich Gold Ore by Ammonia Assisted …

Copper minerals present difficulties during the cyanide leaching of gold ores leading to excessively high consumption of cyanide (and oxygen) coupled with low extraction of gold. Copper cyanide species, if present at high levels, adversely affects the downstream processes such as the activated carbon adsorption and the effluent treatment. In this study, the …

A Review of the Treatment Copper Silver Gold Ores and …

Cyanidation, a process used for over a century to extract gold from free milling ores, is so effective that it can economically treat low-grade ores (0.5 g/t Au).

Sulphide Gold Ore Treatment by Leaching and Flotation Process

Problem with gold recovery from sulphide ore: How may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return. This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of ... Gold Ore Treatment by Leaching …

Acid Leaching

The treatment of copper ores, both oxides and sulfides by means of flotation, hydrometallurgy or other processes has been well established for many years. Flotation has been applied generally to the treatment of sulfide ores, both in small and large scale operations. Hydrometallurgical methods alone or in combination with flotation have mainly been applied to …
