Chlorine extraction of gold . United States Patent . Abstract: A process for treating a particulated gold bearing ore to recover the gold therein is disclosed. The process includes roasting the ore to remove sulfides as sulfur dioxide followed by chlorination of the ore at a temperature of about 350#176; C. in the presence of iron to form
The Extraction of Gold by Amalgamation and Chlorination. By RALPH W. BIRRELL. University of Melbourne. he gold ores found above the waterline in the Lachlan Fold Belt of south eastern Australia in the 1850s, were free milling, meaning that most of the gold could be easily separated from the quartz by crushing, followed by amalgamation with particles of gold were relatively large and

The Chlorination of Gold Ores. By Mr. Donald Clark,, The ideal method for extracting fine gold would be to dissolve out the gold with some solvent which would not attack other minerals present. The solvents known 6o years ago were chlorine, bromine, and cyanide of potassium. Yet in
The parting of gold from silver has been done since ancient times starting in Lydia in the 6th century BC. Various techniques have been practised; salt cementation from ancient times, parting using distilled mineral acids from medieval times, and in modern times using chlorination using the Miller process and electrolysis using the Wohlwill process.
In a method for gold and silver extraction using halogens, it has been discovered that sodium buildup could be avoided by using a base such as calcium hydroxide Ca(OH) 2 rather than sodium hydroxide NaOH i) at the time of scrubbing the off gases from the chlorination reactor, ii) when precipitating the gold/silver from the pregnant solution and iii) at the time of the purification of the barren solution,
The two gold refining methods most commonly employed to derive pure gold are: the Miller process and the Wohlwill process. The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold.
With Millers process of refining impure gold with chlorine gas (patented in Britain in 1867) and Emil Wohlwills electrorefining process (introduced in Hamburg, Ger., in 1878), it became possible routinely to achieve higher purities than had been allowed by fire refining. Ores
Laboratory Gold Ore Chlorination Testing Procedure. 2017/02/16#183; Experience has shown how difficult it is to obtain information regarding laboratory tests in connection with the chlorinationprocess for the extraction of gold from its ores, and I therefore present the following method, somewhat in detail, for the benefit of those who may desire to pursue research work in this field.
Dunn (1982) and Dunn et al. (1991) have extracted gold by chlorination using pyrometallurgical processes at temperatures lower than the ones mentioned above, from refractory minerals and alloys

The selective chlorination of cyanidation tailing (CT) for the extraction of gold and silver has been investigated. The reaction operated at different conditions and their effect on the extraction of Au and Ag was studied. The mineral samples were characterized by fire assay, Xray diffraction (XRD), Xray fluorescence (XRF) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM).
As a preliminary step the material is submitted to an oxidizing and chlorinating roasting, to convert metals other than gold into chlorides. After chlorination of the gold, preferably with chlorine under pressure, the metal is precipitated by hydrogen sulphide or ferrous sulphate, or the gold is precipitated by filtration through charcoal, and recovered by combustion of the charcoal.
The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold. The Miller process is rapid and simple, but it produces gold of only about percent purity. The Wohlwill process increases purity to about percent by electrolysis.
A synergistic extraction method for gold from the refractory gold ores via ultrasound and chlorinationoxidation was developed. The effects of solidliquid ratio, extraction time, ultrasound power, NaClO concentration and NaOH concentration on the extraction rate of
In Liddells Handbook of Nonferrous Metallurgy, Vol. 2, 1945, there is to be found a very complete account of the uses of chlorine as applied to the recovery of gold and silver, in Chlorination Processes amp; Methods. Introducing the chapter entitled Chlorine Metallurgical Processes Liddell says: Chlorine as a metallurgical agent appears to have lost ground during recent years, and much
Gold refining by solvent extractionthe Minataur Process by A. Feather*, Sole*, and Bryson* Synopsis The Minataur Process (Mintek Alternative Technology for Au Refining) is a novel route for the production of highpurity gold using solvent extraction. Following the successful
An average gold extraction yield of % was achieved at the outlet of the chlorination reactor with full environmental control over the residues and atmospheric emissions. The gold deposition yield was over %, leading to an overall gold extraction yield of % through the process.
The chlorine reacts with the gold inside the ore to form gold chloride. Filter the ore and bleach solution to remove all the impurities, such as soil and rock fragments. Collect the filtered gold chloride solution in a flask. Place powdered sodium metabisulfate in another flask and dissolve with water.
Chlorination has been an important process step in the extraction of many nonferrous metals from their ores and concentrates. Some of the important chlorinating agents are gaseous chlorine, hydrochloric acid, ferric chloride, carbon tetrachloride and some alkali or alkaline chlorides like, NaCl, CaCl 2 and NH 4 C1. Because of their high reactivity at a moderate temperature, selectivity in chlorination of the
