The leaching of gold in the presence of iron sulfides was also improved by applying chemical additives, such as, carbonate, calcium, galena, phosphate, and additional hydroxide anion. It is proposed that these additives either passivated the harmful surface of sulfide minerals or masked some detrimental aqueous species.
In this paper, the solidifi ion of elemental arsenic and sulfur by adding calcium‐containing compounds calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, and calcium hydroxide during roasting and oxidation was investigated with the aim of reducing environmental pollution.
A series of batch leaching experiments were subsequently conducted on actual preg-robbing ores to further elucidate the effects of polythionates on the stability soluble gold complexes in the calcium thiosulfate system. A subsequent study on the rates of polythionate species loading on the resin and their competitive loading behaviour was made and extended to include their effects on the displacement of gold from the resin.
Poor gold adsorption may also be encountered due to the passivation of carbon surfaces with calcium carbonate. The origin of the calcium carbonate results from the alytic oxidation of free cyanide in the contacting circuit with the formation of ammonia and carbon dioxide. This carbon passivation is very sensitive to the pH of the pulp. While
In the carbonate leaching process, the. calcium carbonate was globular and attached to the surface of calcium metavanadate.

calcium carbonate, is the gradual solu-tion of calcium carbonate by downward-percolating water and its reprecipitation especially under subhumid and semiarid climates at greater depth below the sur-face. Both the leaching and the reprecipi-tation ordinarily take place above the water table. The dual process is particu-
The main products of this reaction, when lime was used as pH modifier, were determined to be calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, trace amounts of ammonia and manganese dioxide. Gold is recoverable from leach solutions by conventional adsorption onto activated carbon.
Gold cyanidation also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur-Forrest process is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex. It is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction.
Calcium carbonate scale deposits, occurring in gold and silver mining involving the cyanidation process which utilizes heap and vat leaching, and carbon-in-pulp, carbon-in-leach, particularly activated carbon separation columns; said scale deposits forming on the carbon surfaces and in the emitters and sprinklers of the heap leaching system, are controlled using polyether polyamino methylene ...

The percolating solutions may leach in particular carbonates from the applied backfill material and transfer the dissolved calcium ions Ca 2 into the main drainage of the tunnel see Fig. 1 . This leaching of Ca 2 from the backfill material may cause durability issues of the used building material and carbonate scaling in the drainage.
The calcium roasting process was environmentally friendly, but the yield rate of vanadium was relatively lower. Focusing on the calcium metavanadate produced in the calcium roasting process of vanadium minerals, the mechanism of the carbonate leaching for calcium metavanadate and its leaching kinetics of calcium metavanadate were studied. With ...
A significant part of the world& 39;s zinc reserves are in the form of zinc carbonate, often containing zinc sili e. Outotec& 39;s zinc sili e and carbonate leaching process provides high zinc recovery while still controlling silicon leaching and the removal of silica. After leaching, iron removal and solution purifi ion or zinc solvent extraction steps produce a solution suitable for zinc ...
In this paper, the solidifi ion of elemental arsenic and sulfur by adding calcium‐containing compounds calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, and calcium hydroxide during roasting and oxidation was investigated with the aim of reducing environmental pollution. At the same time, the gold leaching from residues produced by solidifi ion roasting and oxidation using nontoxic and environmentally ...
The processing of gold is becoming more compli ed due to the increasingly complex nature of the remaining gold-bearing ore bodies. This worldwide phenomenon is the driving force for the development of alternative technologies for the leaching and recovery of gold from so-called double refractory ores. Barrick Gold recently commercialized a unique calcium thiosulfate leaching plant to treat ...
Gold and silver are stripped from activated carbon on which they are adsorbed as cyanide complexes by subjecting the activated carbon to a stripping solution comprising as the strippant an effective amount of a compound containing the carboxylate functionality. The compound is preferably selected from benzoic and substituted benzoic acids, and polyacrylic acids of less than about 100,000 m.w.

ious forms, and the leaching and precipitation of calcium carbonate, gypsum and iron. A number of processes act on archaeological deposits in caves that can change, preserve, or destroy them. One of the most significant is chemical transformation, primarily caused by water that dissolves organic and inorganic materials Karkanas et al. 2002:916 .

The chemistry involving leaching of calcium hydroxide from concrete can facilitate the growth of calthemites up to ≈200 times faster than cave speleothems due to the different chemical reactions involved. The sight of calthemite is a visual sign that calcium is being leached from the concrete structure and the concrete is gradually degrading.
A method is shown for raising the pH of a cyanide leach solution of the type used in a heap leaching mining operation. Lime slurry is mixed with a side stream of barren cyanide solution in a reactor vessel in order to remove carbonate hardness, to regenerate the hydroxide alkalinity and to raise the pH of the resulting recausticized leach solution.
The leaching liquor contains some leached calcium and magnesium along with dissolved carbon dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide as carbonate and phosphate ions in solution. Concentration of the calcium and magnesium remaining in the leaching liquor after separation of solids varies widely but approximately 0.3 g Ca/l and 0.15 g Mg/l are still in the leaching liquor. The contribution of the ...
CIL gold processing plant mainly consists of following steps: 1 The ore is first reduced in size typically 90% passing 200mesh to ensure that all non-refractory gold is readily accessible for cyanide leaching, There are several variations of comminution circuits used in the gold leaching industry, such as: Multi-stage crushing, then ball milling circuits, typical of ball mill and hyrocyclones.

The increase in Rb/Sr ratios results from the loss of Sr mainly from carbonate leaching and the stability of Rb during rainwater leaching Chen et al., 2000 . Thus, the intensified EASM brought more rainfall into the northern CLP, facilitating leaching and pedogenesis and producing higher Rb/Sr ratios, higher MS values, and lower carbonate contents. On the other hand, the weakened EASM ...
osti.gov patent: control of carbonate concentration in carbonate leaching of uranium-bearing ores by calcium sulfate addition
Calcination refers to heating a solid to high temperatures in air or oxygen, generally for the purpose of removing impurities or volatile substances. However, calcination is also used to mean a thermal treatment process in the absence or limited supply of air or oxygen applied to ores and other solid materials to bring about a thermal decomposition.
The calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate additives are also thought to function by interacting with acidic rainwater or groundwater to raise the pH of the water coming in contact with the lead and reducing the rate of dissolution of the lead. Lead metal is more soluble in acidic water than in alkaline water in the normal acid-alkaline ranges for rainwater or groundwater. The new phosphate ...
Alkaline soils contain more Ca than acid soils, and some of the Ca present as deposits of gypsum calcium sulfate or limestone calcium carbonate will be available to the crop. This is because these minerals are in a solubility equilibrium reaction. For example, gypsum has a solubility of around 2.4 g/l and calcium carbonate has a solubility of 0.013 g/l so the amount of Ca that results from ...

One general rule: if acid makes it fizz, then it& 39;s calcium carbonate deposits. In some parts of the country eg. AZ , pool owners will have problems with calcium or magnesium sulfate deposits, but it& 39;s generally pretty rare. Also, it is common for calcium carbonate laden water to migrate through grout and/or concrete, and deposit stalagtite-like drips and runs. The acid-fizz test will ID those ...
