during secondary grinding, electrochemically active forged steel grinding media may be used in the primary grinding stage. This paper discusses the impact of such a circuit on the pulp chemistry and flotation response of a refractory gold ore. The Wiluna concentrator has two grinding circuits operating in parallel.

Ball Mill is the key equipment of crushing material, which is mainly used for single stage fine grinding, grinding, grinding circuit of grade two. Widely used in cement, silie product, new building material, refractory, fertilizer, black and nonferrous metals and glass ceramic industry. It is divided into dry method and wet grinding method.
Refractory gold deposits pose the biggest challenge to mineral processing plants as the particles are ultrafine and found within other types of minerals. Three factors cause gold to be refractory: physical encapsulation, chemical interference, and pregrobbing minerals. This makes grinding critical in the recovery process, as fine

With the development of beneficiation technology, the definition of refractory gold ore is changing. Generally speaking, refractory gold ore in leaching field is a kind of ore whose leaching rate of gold is less than 80% when directly processed by cyanidation after find grinding.
Gold deportment studies are particularly valuable when recoveries are lower than expected, i.e. for refractory gold deposits. For this type of work Grinding Solutions, have a procedure that relies on backster imaging of preconcentrates combined with more detailed analysis of gold grains by SEM for mineral association and liberation analysis
refractory gold ores are sulphidic in nature. This means that flotation is invariably the first process option to consider. This is relatively straight forward and achieves high gold recovery. The higher the gold to sulphur ratio the better in terms of downstream processing options. For refractory gold ores gravity
Refractory and Nonrefractory are relative terms, and the degree to which any ore is amenable to cyanide extraction will range from near 0% through to near . Whether gold is refractory or nonrefractory has a huge bearing on a potential mine''s viability.

refractory gold ore is goldcontaining ore that is resistant to recovery by direct cyanidation and carbon adsorption processes. More specifically, it is an ore that has a gold recovery rate of less than 80% when direct cyanidation is applied to it. Dr Chris Fleming, senior metallurgical consultant at
Gold extracted during the next four stages indies minerals that the gold occurs with and suggests process options, such as pressure oxidation, biooxidation or roasting that could lead to improved recovery of the refractory gold values.
According to the characteristics of the refractory gold deposit, the gravity–flotation combined beneficiation process was used to recover the liberated coarse gold and the fine gold in the sulphides. The closedcircuit experiments obtained excellent indiors. It was difficult to dissociate gold particles by grinding.
Gold:sulphur ratio (GSR) Refractory ores are typically treated by flotation and the resulting flotation concentrate may be sold directly to a smelter (common for example in China) or subjected to downstream processing by pressure oxidation or bioleach. It can be seen that the key cost elements are: power, cyanide and grinding steel plus

Ultra Fine Grinding A Practical Alternative to Oxidative Treatment of Refractory Gold Ores S. Ellis Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Kalgoorlie, WA. Abstract Since early 2001, Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) has successfully operated an ultra fine grinding (UFG) circuit to supplement its roaster capacity for the
Refractory gold ores are classified as if a cyanidation process cannot recover more than 80% of gold even though fine grinding is used . The reason for the refractoriness of gold ores is either because gold is hosted in solid solution, or as colloidal particles, in pyrite and/or arsenopyrite.
To complie matters further, these ore bodies are often refractory, where the gold is locked within sulphide minerals or double refractory, in which gold is locked within sulphide minerals and pregrobbing due to the presence of organic carbon. These must be pretreated ahead of leaching. conveying, grinding, gravitygold separation, and

Initially, the target is refractory goldbearing iron sulphides where currently pretreatment is the only solution to recover sulphide mineral matrix, locked inside the gold.
Treatment of Refractory Gold Ores Extractive Metallurgy Once the cause has been identified, there are a number of alternatives for treating the ore. Firstly, the gold can be made more amenable to cyanidation by ultrafine milling, followed by a hot atmospheric leach –the Albion Process.

resulting in unacceptable exposure levels of gold unless undergoing ultrafine grinding with high energy consumption. As a result, proper pretreatments are necessary to improve the leaching of gold from these refractory gold ores [5,6]. The pretreatment of oxidative roasting has always been one of the most extensively used methods

Refractory gold ores may be defined as those which yield low recoveries of gold when treated by the conventional grinding and cyanidation process. This refractory behaviour can vary from mild to severe with gold recoveries of 85% down to less than 30% [1].
REFRACTORY GOLD. By definition, refractory gold ores contain gold that is resistant to extraction by conventional chemical processing and as a result responds poorly to traditional gold cyanidation techniques such as CarboninLeach (CIL), yielding less than 80% of the contained gold.
Also, grinding the ore to an extremely fine particle size can liberate gold encapulsated in sulfides. SGS has very extensive experience with all the unit operations involved in the processing of refractory gold ores, and in selecting the optimum flowsheet for a particular ore. Our gold metallurgy expertise is second to none. Chemical interference
