Abstract
Pyrite concentrates with refractory gold and silver were roasted at different temperatures to improve the recovery of the metals by cyanide leaching. Scanning Electron Microscope characterization of the calcine revealed that the gold occluded in the pyrite less than one micron, and roasting produced channels in the concentrate, exposing the gold particles to the leaching solution. Gold and silver recoveries were maximum in the temperature range of 500-600?C due to the calcine high surface area and porosity. The Au and Ag recovery improved from 25 to 86% and 50 to 73%, respectively. The Au secondary encapsulation due to the sintering, the formation of the Ag-Fe-S species (Fe1?xS + Ag2S + Ag) and Ag ferrite in higher roasting temperatures hence Au and Ag recoveries decreased.
期刊介绍：
University of Belgrade, Technical Faculty in Bor, has been publishing the journal called Journal of Mining and Metallurgy since 1965 and in 1997 it was divided in two independent journals dealing with mining and metallurgy separately. Since 2009 Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section B: Metallurgy has been accepted in Science Citation Index Expanded.
Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section B: Metallurgy presents an international medium for the publication of contributions on original research which reflect the new progresses in theory and practice of metallurgy. The Journal covers the latest research in all aspects of metallurgy including hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, transport phenomena, process control, solidification, mechanical working, solid state reactions, materials processing, surface treatment and relationships among processing, structure, and properties of materials.
