Abstract:The mineralogical characterization of antimony-bearing refractory gold concentrates and the antimony extraction by ozone in HCl solution were investigated. The mineralogical study shows that there exist stibnite(Sb2S3), arsenopyrite(FeAsS), pyrite(FeS2) and quartz in the concentrates, and the gold is mainly (67.42%) encapsulated in sulfides. The antimony extraction by ozone in hydrochloric acid was employed and the influences of temperature, liquid/solid ratio, HCl concentration and stirring speed on the extraction of antimony were investigated. High antimony extraction (93.75%) is achieved under the optimized conditions. After the pretreatment by ozone, the antimony is recovered efficiently and the gold is enriched in the leaching residue.
Key words: antimony-bearing refractory gold concentrates; ozone; pretreatment; mineralogical characterization; antimony extraction
