Study on Vacuum Roasting Pretreatment of Carbonaceous Gold Concentrates Based on Nonoxidation Technology

Carbonaceous gold ores are difficult to treat because of the “preg-robbing” by carbonaceous matters and locking by minerals. Roasting is the most commonly used method that is useful in dealing with carbonaceous gold ores. In this study, flotation gold concentrates containing sulfides and carbonaceou...

description Carbonaceous gold ores are difficult to treat because of the “preg-robbing” by carbonaceous matters and locking by minerals. Roasting is the most commonly used method that is useful in dealing with carbonaceous gold ores. In this study, flotation gold concentrates containing sulfides and carbonaceous matters were investigated to ascertain the reaction process and the matters’ transformation characteristics in different temperatures by vacuum roasting pretreatment. Calcine and volatile condensates were characterized with several techniques. In the process of vacuum roasting, the main chemical reactions were decomposition reaction and carbothermic reduction reactions of sulfide ores, carbothermic reduction reactions of SiO2, and thermal decomposition reactions of organic carbon. The bad effects of “preg-robbing” by carbonaceous matters were greatly weakened by the thermal decomposition and carbothermal reduction. The gold locking minerals were mainly removed by reduction reactions. The sulfides were removed in ways that did not produce SO2. The removal of sulfur and carbonaceous matters during the vacuum roasting process was 95.83% and 65.38%, respectively. Direct cyanidation of the calcine extracted from 2.13% to 88.37% of the gold content with a vacuum degree of 10 Pa and roasting from 25°C to 1,200°C for 30 min.
