Gold extraction from an oxide ore in iodine-iodide solutions
, Article Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering General Session - 220th ECS Meeting, Boston, MA, 9 October 2011 through 14 October 2011 ; Volume 41, Issue 17 , 2012 , Pages 53-60 ; 19385862 (ISSN) ; 9781607683070 (ISBN) ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Two types of gold ores were subjected to iodide/iodine leaching at room temperature. The effects of three factors, including ore type (a carbonaceous and an oxide gold ores), iodide/iodine concentration, and the presence of oxygen in solution on gold leaching performance were investigated. The carbonaceous ore showed only 20% gold extraction into the solution; since gold-iodide complexes would readily adsorb on organic matter. In contrast, gold extraction from the oxide ore in a solution containing 20 g/L iodide and 4 g/L iodine reached 77% in 6 h and 89% in 24 h. With iodate as the oxidant, no gold could be leached in 48 hours. When the iodate was partially converted to iodine by adding HCl...
