The pyrite contains 43.36% Fe and 41.26% S. The occurrence of gold in the different phases of the sulfide refractory gold ore is shown in Fig. 2, which indicates that 93.94% Au is encapsulated, especially, sulfide-encapsulated gold up to 80.85%. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the sulfide refractory gold ore and pyrite is shown in Fig. 3.
Kumar is optimizing the process by which the sorbent selectively adsorbs lithium from liquids containing lithium, sodium and potassium and goes on to form LDH …
This section first explored the generation of thiosulfate from sulfide gold ore by alkaline oxidation at atmospheric pressure. Notably, as a comparison experiment, the generation of thiosulfate from pyrite concentrate was also studied under the same oxidation conditions (40 and 80 °C) to scientifically identify the sulfur conversion capacity of this …
