Abstract:
      The exploration test on gold extraction from arsenopyrite gold concentrate with oxidation pressure leaching process in ammonium thiocyanate-ammonia system was performed. The effects of leaching temperature,copper concentration, leaching time, ratio of liquid to solid (L/S), ammonia concentration , oxygen pressure, and the concentration of ammonium thiocyanate on gold leaching rate were studied. The results show that the gold leaching ratio is 61.7% under the optimum conditions including NH4SCN concentration of 3 mol/L, L/S=5, leaching temperature of 150 ℃, leaching time of 6 hours, stirring speed of 750 r/min, ammonia concentration of 4.64 mol/L, and copper dosage of 1.5 g/L. The gold leaching ratio can leach 86.2% after the pretreatment of roasting at 400 ℃.
