A Comparison of Gold Recovery by Pressure Cyanidation and by Pressure Oxidation/Conventional Cyanidation from a Stibnite Concentrate
A stibnite flotation concentrate from Costerfield in Victoria was found to contain 63.3 g/t An while its sizing distribution indicated that 81.6 per cent of the material was less than 38 m. A 24 hour cyanidation test by a standard bottle roll method recovered 15 per cent of this gold. Pressure cyanidation under conditions of ambient temperature, 40 per cent pulp density, an oxygen pressure of 1000 - 2000 kPa and an initial NaCN concentration of 15 kg/t, resulted in a recovery of 65 pe cent of the gold after only two hours of leaching. Aqueous pressure preoxidation of the concentrate followed by the standard bottle roll cyanidation realised gold recoveries as high as 96 per cent. Conditions of 220C, an oxygen pressure of 1000 - 2000 kPa, 16.7 Please note that this is an abstract only - no paper was published
