What six gold ore beneficiation processes target specific mineralization types?

2025-10-12

Gold ore beneficiation processes are tailored to the specific mineralization types present in the ore. Below are six common beneficiation processes that target specific types of gold mineralization:

1. Гравитационная сепарация:

   • Target: Free-milling gold (coarse or alluvial gold particles).
   • Процесс: Exploits the difference in density between gold and gangue minerals. Techniques include sluices, jigs, shaking tables, and centrifugal concentrators like Knelson or Falcon concentrators.

2. Флотация:

   • Target: Sulfide-hosted gold (e.g., gold associated with arsenopyrite, pyrite, chalcopyrite).
   • Процесс: Involves the use of chemicals (collectors, frothers, depressants) to selectively adhere and separate sulfide minerals containing gold into a froth concentrate.

3. Цианидирование:

   • Target: Fine-grained, free gold and gold encapsulated in oxidized minerals.
   • Процесс: Dissolution of gold using cyanide solutions, followed by recovery with activated carbon (CIL/CIP processes) or zinc precipitation (Merrill-Crowe).

4. Биовыщелачивание:

   • Target: Refractory sulfide ores where gold is locked in sulfide minerals.
   • Процесс: Uses microorganisms (e.g., Ацидитиобациллы феррооксиданты) to oxidize sulfides, releasing gold for subsequent cyanidation.

5. Roasting or Pressure Oxidation (POX):

   • Target: Double-refractory ores (gold locked in sulfides and/or carbonaceous materials that "preg-robb").
   • Процесс: Involves high-temperature oxidation or pressurized environments to break down sulfides and organic matter, making gold accessible for cyanidation.

6. Амальгамирование:

   • Target: Free gold, particularly from artisanal and small-scale mining (though environmentally hazardous).
   • Процесс: Uses mercury to bind with gold, forming an amalgam that is later heated to recover gold. (Note: Mercury usage is heavily discouraged due to severe environmental and health hazards.)

Each of these processes is applicable depending on the mineralogical and geological characteristics of the gold ore and the economic considerations of the mining operation. Often, a combination of these methods is used for optimized gold recovery.
