In the previous attempt by Puvvada and Murthy (2000), the maximum amount of gold recovery was reported to be 43% from sulfide ore through the chlorate medium. A later study by Hasab et al. investigated the low recovery of gold from sulfide ores. It was found that it can be related to the passivation of the gold particles due to the formation of ...

The conversion of sulphide to oxide produces a mass loss coincident with the exothermic event. The temperature at which oxidation of metal sulphides commences varies considerably, as indicated in Table 2 [12,14-23]. Oxide coatings can be quite protective, and inhibit the diffusion of oxygen to the unreacted sulphide.

Sulphide ores are a major source of Cu, Ni and precious metals. A basic principle of the extraction processes is to blow air into the molten sulphide in order to oxidise (1) S, which forms a gas and (2) Fe, which forms predominantly FeO and then partitions to a slag phase which covers the matte. A key element in the recovery of the metals is ...
