Recovery of gold from refractory ores requires a pretreatment to liberate the gold particles from the host mineral. In particular, in the case of stibnite (Sb2S3), the antimony (Sb) forms stable ...
The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of higher-temperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel production. The specific processes taken depend on …

Traditional nickel laterite processing techniques use large quantities of sulphuric acid at high temperatures and pressures, resulting in expensive waste treatment and disposal of the chemicals used in the extraction process. Nickel laterites are becoming a priority for mining companies as traditional nickel sulphide reserves are depleted.

· the ore for aurocyanide in solution, although when no cyanide was present the kinetics of the two processes governed the distribution of gold between the ore and the carbon. Gold was found to reduce at the chalcopyrite surface and a mechanism for this reduction was proposed. For pyrite, a combination of reduction and physical
· Process nickel laterite for pyrometallurgy. Pyrometallurgy is mainly used to process high-grade laterite nickel ore. To prepare the lateritic nickel ore required for pyrometallurgy, we need to crush and sieve the raw ores. Coarse ores (the particle size is within 25mm-150mm) will be calcinated, while finer ores will be discarded or calcinated ...
nickel processing, preparation of the metal for use in various products. Although it is best known for its use in coinage, nickel (Ni) has become much more important for its many industrial applications, which owe their importance to a unique …
· of Finland, average nickel grade amounts to 0.27%, copper 0.14%, cobalt 0.02%, and zinc 0.56% [36]. In cases of technogenic waste processing, the standard ore grade can be even lower. This can be explained by the fact that ore mining costs have been already spent, and transport expenses are allocated to the remediation budget [15].
· Engineering & Mining Journal, a trade journal for mining and mineral processing professionals, tweeted about the proposed merger of equals of mining companies Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) and Kirkland Lake Gold (KLG) being approved by Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). The board's approval was the final key regulatory approval required to …
· and processing are exposed, not only to the metal of interest, but also to various other substances prevalent in the industry, such as diesel emissions, oil mists, blasting agents, silica, radon, and arsenic. This chapter examines cancer risk related to the mining of gold, nickel and copper. The human carcinogenicity of nickel
Ore mining occurs in all Canadian provinces and territories except Prince Edward Island. Ores include bauxite, copper, gold, iron, lead and zinc. Workers in metal mining and processing are exposed, not only to the metal of interest, but also to various other substances prevalent in the industry, suc …
· The concentration of gold in the Earth's crust and mantle is extremely low and highly variable, resulting in ore variability in many gold and copper–gold deposits. More importantly, gold in an ore may occur in two or three forms (i.e., microscopic gold, submicroscopic gold, and surface gold), making gold ore processing extremely challenging.
With metallic ore grade falling globally, the use of alternative process routes for copper or nickel ores, which are more appropriate in terms of embodied energy and …
· Nickel ore is mainly divided into copper-nickel sulfide ore and nickel oxide ore, and their beneficiation and processing methods are completely different. The most important method for beneficiation of copper-nickel sulfide ore is flotation, while magnetic separation and gravity separation are usually auxiliary beneficiation methods.
· Gold is a significant byproduct of the base-metals industries. This chapter focuses in particular on the practice of recovering gold from the copper industry (anodic slimes), the nickel industry, the PGM refineries, as well as within lead and zinc smelters.
Flash smelting. Flash smelting (Finnish: Liekkisulatus) is a smelting process for sulfur-containing ores including chalcopyrite. The process was developed by Outokumpu in Finland and first applied at the Harjavalta plant in 1949 for smelting copper ore. It has also been adapted for nickel and lead production.
Some amounts of magnetite and chromite exist in the ore together with sulphide and oxide type nickel minerals. The ore sample contains 1.32% Ni, 10.79% SiO2, 78.39% Fe2O3, 1.3 g/t Ag, and 1.0 g/t ...
· the storage and recycle of plant process water. However, there may be a need to treat bleed streams of some process effluents to prevent a build-up of various impurities. Solid wastes from nickel sulfide ores often contain other metals such as copper, and precious metals, and consideration should be given to further processing for their recovery.
· Processing. After mining, nickel ores are further processed to upgrade their nickel contents from 1-4% typical of the ores to concentrates with grades in the range 10-20%. Concentration involves crushing the ore and separating …
· 1 Wash, filter and grind the granite ore with into smaller pieces. 2 Put the ground ore into a tank containing a dilute cyanide solution and add zinc. The chemical reaction between a dilute cyanide solution and zinc will separate the gold from the ore. 3 Use a filter press to remove the gold from the solution.
· Although each ounce of gold recovered requires the processing of about 100,000 ounces of ore, there is so much gold deposited in rock veins that this method accounts for more than half of the world's total gold production today. The gold in the veins may be of microscopic particle size, in nuggets or sheets, or in gold compounds.
