Gold telluride ores are important gold refractory ores due to the presence of sulfides and other gangue materials. The classification and main physical properties of gold telluride ores were described, and possible treatment methods including flotation, leaching, and oxidation were reviewed. The results show that flotation procedures are much easier …

Gold refining is the process of purifying raw gold of its impurities and unwanted elements like silver, copper, zinc and nickel. The goal of refining is to produce gold that is at least 99.5% pure, if not higher. Achieving higher purity levels through refining gives gold several important advantages. For one, higher-purity gold is less …

The physical properties of gold and its resistance to chemical change gave it an important role in the ancient world. The Greeks and Romans exploited both alluvial and reef gold. The earliest placer deposits, 7th century B.C., were weathered auriferous ore carried down from Mt. Tmolus by the rivers of Asia Minor. Grains of ore were collected in …

Today, flotation is commonly used in the processing of primary copper–gold ores to produce a copper concentrate containing gold as a co-product, where the gold is recovered as a byproduct of copper smelting and refining (La Brooy, 1992). The gold is usually discrete and either free, associated with copper sulfides or associated with iron ...

Gold flotation is widely used in the case of refractory ores, in which small-sized gold particles, locked within sulfide minerals, are recovered through flotation of gold-bearing minerals (Marsden and House, 2006). It is also an effective means for separating free gold from silicate particles present in ore.

About 90% of tellurium is produced from copper anode slimes generated during electrolytic refining of blister copper and the remainder from processing of bismuth, lead and gold ores. The production of CdTe solar cells photovoltaic (PV) modules for generation of low-cost solar electricity consumes 40% of global tellurium output.
