The pretreatment of carbonaceous material in double refractory gold ores (DRGO) is necessary to decrease preg-robbing of gold and maximize gold recovery. DRGO contains of carbonaceous matter and gold grains encapsulated in sulfide minerals, which typically results in very poor gold recovery.

Other articles where Refractory ore is discussed: gold processing: Extraction from refractory ores: Many gold-bearing ores and concentrates are not readily amenable to cyanidation, owing to the presence of substances that consume the cyanide reagent before it can dissolve the gold, preferentially adsorb the gold as it dissolves (a phenomenon called preg-robbing), or completely surround the…

A novel gold deportment technique has been developed for complex copper-gold and double refractory gold ores using state-of-the-art technology. Characterization of these ores is a challenging task due to low copper and gold grades in ores, presence of both primary and secondary copper sulfide phases

Double refractory ores present a unique challenge to the traditional method of gold recovery in mining. Double refractory ores are ores that contain sulfides and carbons, as opposed to single refractory ores which contain only sulfides. In general, the cyanide solution pulls the gold out of the ore …

Sulfides and carbonaceous matter in double refractory gold ore (DRGO) were bio-treated sequentially using an iron-oxidizing archaeon Acidianus brierleyi followed by lignin peroxidase-dominating crude enzymes released from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium to significantly improve gold recovery from 24% to 92%.
of refractory and double refractory gold ores. Commonly, in these types of ores, the gold is associated with sulphide minerals. The presence of sulphides can affect gold recovery via cyanidation due to encapsulation or passivation of the gold, thereby increasing reagent consumption. In the case of double refractory ores, gold recovery is ...
Ores where gold is associated with sulfides and with high carbonaceous matter content are considered double refractory. Ores in the Carlin Trend District are characterized by the presence of submicroscopic gold (invisible gold) finely disseminated within a sulfiderich matrix within carbonaceous material.
The initial results for the cyanide leach gold recoveries were very poor on a high-grade primary sulphide ore of 6.2 g/t Au with no silver. Subsequent mineralogy showed the ore to be a characteristic pyrite, carbonaceous refractory gold ore (double refractory). This was a very disappointing finding. A small scale gravity and flotation test programme...
A "refractory" gold ore is an ore that has ultra fine gold particles disseminated throughout its gold occluded minerals. These ores are naturally resistant to recovery by standard cyanidation and carbon adsorption processes. These refractory ores require pre-treatment in order for cyanidation to be effective in recovery of the gold.

Gold may be exposed to cyanide solution for leaching but recovery is inhibited by the gold getting adsorbed onto carbon •Double refractory are concentrates or ores in which gold is
Refractory gold ores are those that do not yield high gold recoveries in conventional cyanide-leaching circuits, even when the ore is finely ground. The cause of low gold recoveries can be either through the presence of naturally occurring 'preg robbing' carbonaceous materials or gold physically 'locked' in sulphide minerals. ...

In the case of Goldstrike, this was a double-refractory ore combining sulphide-occluded gold with preg-robbing carbonaceous material that rendered the ore unsuitable for conventional cyanide leaching and carbon adsorption.

Double-Refractory Carbonaceous Sulfidic Gold Ores. Ores where gold is associated with sulfides and with high carbonaceous matter content are considered double refractory Ores in the Carlin Trend District are characterized by the presence of submicroscopic gold (invisible gold) finely disseminated within a sulfide-rich matrix within carbonaceous material.
Abstract Double refractory gold ores, such as Barrick's Goldstrike ore, contain both pyrite and carbonaceous matter and the latter results in the loss of gold from solution during cyanide leaching. One possible remedy is to roast the ore and thus oxidize the pyrite and remove the organic carbon. In this research, microwave roasting of a double refractory gold ore was investigated as an ...

Removal of TCM from unoxidized, double refractory ores has been problematic due to significant gold losses in the TCM concentrate, which renders such removal impractical. Removing TCM from oxidized sulfide products can circumvent such gold losses and reduce the preg robbing behavior of the ores.
