gold ore beneficiation line

Intro

old occurs principally as a native metal, usually alloyed to a greater or lesser extent with silver, or sometimes with mercury. Native gold occur as sizeable nuggets, as fine grains or flakes in alluvial deposits, or as grains or microscopic particles embedded in other rocks. Gold and its ally are often used in jewelry, coinage and a standard for monetary exchange in many countries. Due to its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, it is used as industrial metal.

Crushing Processing Flow

Cyanide extraction of gold may be used in areas where fine gold-bearing rocks are found. Sodium cyanide solution is mixed with finely ground rock that is proven to contain gold or silver, and is then separated from the ground rock as gold cyanide or silver cyanide solution. Zinc is added to precipitate out residual zinc as well as the silver and gold metals. The zinc is removed with sulfuric acid, leaving a silver or gold sludge that is generally smelted into an ingot then shipped to a metals refinery for final processing into 99.9999% pure metals.
