The ability of inherently conducting polymer (ICP) coated textiles to recover gold metal from aqueous solutions containing $[AuCl_4]^-$ was investigated. Nylon-lycra, nylon, acrylic, polyester and cotton were coated with a layer of polypyrrole (PPy) doped with 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (NDSA), 2-anthraquinonesulfonic acid (AQSA) or p-toluenesulfonic acid (pTS). Textiles coated with polyaniline (PAn) doped with chloride were also used. The highest gold capacity was displayed by PPy/NDSA/nylon-lycra, which exhibited a capacity of 115 mgAu/g coated textile, or 9700 mgAu/g polymer. Varying the underlying textile substrate or the ICP coating had a major effect on the gold capacity of the composites. Several ICP coated textiles recovered more than 90 % of the gold initially present in solutions containing 10 ppm $[AuCl_4]^-$ and 0.1 M HCl in less than 1 min. Both PPy/NDSA/nylon-lycra and PAn/Cl/nylon-lycra recovered approximately 60 % of the gold and none of the iron present in a solution containing 1 ppm $[AuCl_4]^-$, 1000 ppm $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.1 M HCl. The spontaneous and sustained recovery of gold metal from aqueous solutions containing $[AuCl_4]^-$ using ICP coated textiles has good prospects as a potential future technology.

시안을 이용한 PCB 금 박리용액으로부터 사이클론 형태의 전해조를 적용하여 금 회수 연구를 수행하였다. 이때 첨가제로서 전해생성 된 차아염소산나트륨(NaOCl)과 금 도금 첨가제(KG-120)를 사용하였고 이들의 농도와 반응시간에 따른 금의 전해회수 거동을 조사하였다. 전해생성 NaOCl은 침출액 내의 시안과 알칼리 염소화 반응을 촉진함으로써 $NaOCl(g)/CN^-(g)$ 비율 1.0 이상에서 약 99% 이상 시안을 제거할 수 있었다. 금 전해회수 시 전해생성 NaOCl을 첨가할 경우 $NaOCl(g)/CN^-(g)$ 비율이 0.5~2.5일 때 480분 내에 금은 98% 회수되었으며 비율이 3.0이상에서는 오히려 금의 회수율이 현저히 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. KG-120 용액의 경우, 1.5~4.5%(v/v)까지의 농도범위에서 480분 내에 금이 99% 회수되었으며, 특히 KG-120의 농도가 3.5 및 4.5%(v/v) 일 경우 240분 내에 금이 96% 이상 회수되어 반응 초기 회수속도가 상대적으로 더 빨랐다. 이로부터 경제성과 효율성을 감안한 최적의 KG-120의 농도는 3.5%(v/v)로 판단된다.

The variable flotation response ores from different deposits results basically from mineralogical association and their differences. Development of new techniques for analyzing the metallurgical performance of flotation and other concentration processes is demanded even in the treatment of rather simple ores such as porphyry ores. Diagnostic metallurgical analysis can be used to quantify the most possible recovery processes. Several porphyry copper/gold ores around the world were used to examine the responses in flotation, gravity separation and cyanidation in order to define the linkage between the recovery processes for both copper and old values. Laboratory batch flotation, gravity separation and cyanidation tests were carried out on these samples. All results were used to correlate the relative recovery of copper and gold, and to predict the highest possible metal recovery in the system. The metallurgical predictions were made according to the flotation conditions used and gravity separation. The results of various concentration processes on each porphyry ore samples are presented and discussed. All seven samples have shown significantly different gold/copper metallurgy. The grade/recovery relationships of gold and copper in the laboratory batch tests for the best results and the plants are given in the Figures below. The results of laboratory tests show that the copper recoveries converged to about $90\%$, but the gold recoveries were spread over $55-80\%$, except the K S ore. Series of standard cyanidation tests on the flotation concentrate samples and gravity separation using Knelson Separator on heads ores were carried out to cross-link the metallurgy and mineralogy of gold in the porphyry ores.

Electrolytic recovery of gold and silver from diluted solutions has at first been applied nearly 100 years ago. Compared with other recovery techniques electrolytic treatment offers several advantages. But to achieve high space-time yields special constructions of electrolytic cells for improved mass transfer are necessary. Ex-tended cathode surface areas and vigorous agitation are important features. Gold and silver recovery by use of newly developed electrolytic cell constructions - rotating tubular bed reactor and impact rod reactor - has been described. Calculations based on industrial application during several years are confirming that electrolytic recovery of precious metalss from diluted solutions has been operated in a very economic way.

본 연구에서는 Au(I) 이온을 함유한 시안 용액으로부터 다른 형태의 금을 회수하기 위하여 생체흡착 후 탈착하는 방법과 생체흡착 후 회화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 생체흡착제로는 아미노산 발효 공정에서 발생하는 균체 폐기물(Corynebacterium glutamicum)을 사용하였다. 바이오매스의 흡착 특성을 알아 보기 위하여 pH edge 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 흡착성능은 pH 2-3 부근에서 우수한 결과를 보였다. 또한, 등온흡착 실험 결과를 Langmuir 모델에 적용한 결과 Au(I)의 최대 흡착량은 pH 2.5에서 35.15 mg/g이었다. 흡착 속도론 실험을 통해 흡착 평형은 60분 이내의 짧은 시간 내에 이루어지는 것을 확인하였다. Au(I)을 회수하기 위하여 바이오매스에 흡착된 Au(I)을 탈이온수를 이용하여 탈착을 시켰으며, 탈착효율은 91%로 평가되었다. 이 결과는 바이오매스를 이용하여 흡착과 탈착을 통해 1가 금을 효과적으로 회수할 수 있음을 보여준다. 영가 형태로 회수하기 위하여, 금을 흡착하고 있는 생체흡착제를 회화하여 환원된 형태의 금을 성공적으로 회수하였으며, 회분 중 금의 순도는 85% 이상이었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 생체흡착 후 탈착(1가 형태) 공정과 생체흡착 후 회화(영가 형태) 공정은 회수하고자 하는 금의 산화수에 따라 선택하여 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A novel fluidized-bed reactor was designed and installed for bioleaching in a semi-continuous way, by which a process for bioleaching-cyanidation of Guangxi Jinya refractory gold arsenical concentrate was studied. An arsenic extraction rate reaches 82.5% after 4-day batch biooxidation of the concentrate under the optimized condition of pH 2.0, ftrric ion concentration 6.5g/L and pulp concentration 10%. And leaching rate of gold in the following gold cyanidation is over 90%. The parameters of three series fluid-bed reactors exhibit stability during the semi-continuous bioleaching of the concentrate. Arsenic in the concentrate can be got rid of 91% after 6-day leaching. Even after 4 days, 82% of arsenic extraction rate was still obtained. The recovery rates of gold are 92% and 87.5% respectively in cyaniding the above bioleached residues. The results will provide a base for further commercial production of gold development.

Bio-oxidation is an effective technology for treatment of refractory gold concentrates. However, the unsatisfactory oxidation rate and long residence time, which cause a lower cyanide leaching rate and gold recovery, are key factors that restrict the application of traditional bio-oxidation technology. In this study, the oxidation rate of refractory gold concentrates and the adaption of microorganisms were analyzed to evaluate a newly developed two-step pretreatment process, which includes a high temperature chemical oxidation step and a subsequent bio-oxidation step. The oxidation rate and recovery rate of gold were improved significantly after the two-step process. The results showed that the highest oxidation rate of sulfide sulfur could reach to 99.01 % with an extreme thermophile microbial community when the pulp density was 5%. Accordingly, the recovery rate of gold was elevated to 92.51%. Meanwhile, the results revealed that moderate thermophiles performed better than acidophilic mesophiles and extreme thermophiles, whose oxidation rates declined drastically when the pulp density was increased to 10% and 15%. The oxidation rates of sulfide sulfur with moderate thermophiles were 93.94% and 65.73% when the pulp density was increased to 10% and 15%, respectively. All these results indicated that the two-step pretreatment increased the oxidation rate of refractory gold concentrates and is a potential technology to pretreat the refractory sample. Meanwhile, owing to the sensitivity of the microbial community under different pulp density levels, the optimization of microbial community in bio-oxidation is necessary in industry.

A new method to extract gold from pyrite roster cinder, which combines ultra-fine-grinding with resin-in-pulp, has been studied in this paper. Compared with traditional leaching technology, it can short leaching time, avoid complex filter process, lower sodium cyanide consumption and increase gold recovery by 35%. During leaching, aluminium oxide ball was used as stirred medium, hydrogen peroxide as leaching aid and sodium hexametaphosphate as grinding aid. With the high efficiency and chemistry effect of ultra-fine-grinding, the leaching process was developed and the gold leaching rate may reach 88%. With AM-2 Б resin as abosorber and sulfocarbamide (TU) as eluent, gold was recovered from cyanide pulp by resin-in-pulp. AM-2 Б resin has good adsorbability in cyanide solution(pH=10). It was easy to elude gold from the loaded resin with 0.1㏖/L cholhydric acid and 1㏖/L sulfocabamide. The effect of contact time, temperature and acidity etc. on the gold absorption had been examined with static methods. The results showed that the adsorption and desorption of gold could both reach over 98%. The effects of flow rate of solution on dynamic adsorption and elution of gold had been examined with dynamic methods. Breakthrough curve and elution curve had been drawn in this paper. A mild condition was determined through a number of experiments: leaching time 2 hours, liquid solid ratio 4:1, sodium cyanide 3kg/t, hydrogen peroxide 0.05%, sodium hexametaphosphate 0.05%; adsorption time 30 minutes, temperature 10-3$0^{\circ}C$, resin($m\ell$) solid(g) ratio 1:10, eluent resin ratio 10-20:1, velocity of eluent $1.5m\ell$/min. Under the mild condition, the gold recovery may reach 85%.
