Synopsis

This instructional guidebook delves into the treatment of gold-bearing ores with a particular focus on the chlorination method. As a well-established technique, chlorination utilizes chlorine solutions to extract gold from refractory ores and has contributed to increased gold recovery in the precious mineral mining industry. The author draws from historical context, acknowledging the early work of Plattner, and provides insights into the necessary steps for successful chlorination. These include ore preparation through crushing and concentration, roasting to eliminate impurities, and leaching with chlorine solutions to dissolve the gold. The book also explores factors that influence the chlorination process, such as temperature, salt concentration, and the presence of other metals. The text emphasizes the importance of optimizing the roasting stage to achieve "dead roasting," where impurities are effectively removed, ensuring efficient gold extraction in subsequent leaching. The author discusses the challenges of roasting different types of ores and offers practical solutions, including guidance on furnace selection and operating procedures. By providing detailed explanations and practical advice, this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals and students alike, offering a comprehensive understanding of the chlorination process and its application in gold mining. The insights gained from this book contribute to the advancement of gold recovery techniques, ultimately benefiting the precious metals industry.
