Abstract:
      Guizhou Shuiyindong Gold Mine is a “Carlin-type” refractory gold mine containing arsenic and carbon, which cannot produce benefits through conventional processing. In order to develop this type of gold resources, through process comparison, the pressurized pre-oxidation process is selected for experimental research. Test results of multi-factor laboratory study show that sulfur oxidation rate is >99% and gold leaching rateis >94% under the recommended conditions. In order to obtain research data required by industrial design, a set of pressurized pre-oxidation pilot system with continuous feeding is built independently and pilot test is successfully completed. Under the conditions of pressurized oxidation at 210—220 ℃ for 60-90 min with oxygen partial pressure of 0.6-0.8 MPa, average oxidation rate of sulfur is higher than 97% and average leaching rate of gold is 96%, which verifies the conclusion of laboratory research and opens up the overall process flow. It provides an important design basis for industrial application of this process.
