Jun 15, 2018· In this study, thiosulphate leaching combined with ultra-fine grinding (UFG) was studied for silver extraction from an arsenical refractory ore. Direct cyanidation of the ore (d 80: 50 µm) led to a low silver extraction of ≤ 70% over 24 h. leaching period. Extraction of silver in cyanide leaching was improved to 85% after ultra-fine grinding.

Feb 25, 2018· Column-leaching tests were conducted on minus 2.5- plus 1.3-cm ore pieces to evaluate a dual in situ or heap leaching method for the recovery of manganese and silver from domestic manganese deposits. The method features an initial leach of the manganese with a 5-wt-pct-SO2 solution followed by a neutralization rinse, and then a second leach of ...

Jan 28, 2021· 10%· The percentage recovery of the dissolved silver obtained from the refractory ore was 57.64% at 90 °C before the untreated pressure oxidation (ambient leaching), while the recovery has been increased by about 5% and reached 62.35% at 150 °C when applying the pressure leaching method by using an autoclave.
