When examining industrial facilities, industrial archaeologists often pay greater attention to the facilities' products than they do to the facilities' byproducts. Nevertheless, paying close attention to byproducts is an important facet of making an industrial facility profitable. This articl examines the Standard mill, a turn-of-the-20th-century facility for treating gold ores at Bodie ...

Extraction of silver from silver mill tailings by an electrolytic oxidation procedure was investigated by the Bureau of Mines. Various parameters affecting silver extraction, such as electrolysis time, particle size, and dissolution of the silver as the tetrachloro or cyanide complex, were studied at 30 degrees c with an electrolyte concentration of 20 weight-percent sodium …

The tailings gold content is about 1.8 mg/kg and the mercury content is about 10 mg/kg, which are in agreement with the results of metal content in each size fraction, shown in Fig. 4a. The gold content of the tailing is high and has the same order of magnitude of the gold ore treated by a cyanidation plant not far from this region.

Peruvian mines utilize Pressure Oxidation of silver bearing sulfide flotation concentrates similar to the process used by Barrick at Mercury and Gold Strike mines. Problems encountered are 1) Excessive heat generation, 2) Silver solubility during autoclaving, and 3) Formation of pellets containing unreacted sulfides.

A process for treating refractory ores combines pressure oxidation treatment of the ore with cyanidation and carbon-in-pulp recovery. Pressure oxidation is carried out under acidic conditions, at elevated temperatures and pressure. Before cyanidation, the oxidized slurry is subjected to a multiple stage washing operation to remove excess acid and heavy metals …

The amalgam of gold, silver, and mercury can be con-verted to a block of bullion by treating it in a retort, which is essentially a mercury still. The amalgam is placed in a furnace and heated to a temperature in excess of 400° C, at which point the gold and silver are molten and the mercury vaporizes. The mercury vapors

Electrooxidation of silver tailings from three different deposits was shown to improve silver extraction from 6 to 25 percent over cyanidation treatment. Silver extraction ranged from 77 to 93 percent, depending on the tailings; concomitant mercury extraction ranged from 90 to 95 percent.

PROCESS FOR RECOVERING GOLD AND SILVER FROM REFRACTORY ORES. The present invention is directed to flotation of refractory gold sulfide ores in which the ore is ground, floated, the tailings reground, and refloated to produce gold-bearing concentrates.

10%Gold losses in the cyanidation of refractory ores are mainly due to the presence of sulfide and carbonaceous materials. Sulfide minerals in the ore can be oxidized by hypochlorite generated electrochemically in the leaching reactor. The electrooxidation of a gold-bearing sulfide concentrate that contains pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite was …

The U.S. Bureau of Mines has successfully demonstrated that an oxidizing environment can be generated in ore pulps using bipolar cells. The technique, called electrooxidation, has been tested on a variety of ores and concentrates in both smallscale and prototype cells. This paper reviews this technology for carbonaceous gold ores and …

Recovery of Mercury from Amalgamation Tailing for this purpose consists briefly in leaching out the mercuric sulphide with a caustic, alkaline sulphide solution, then precipitating the mercury from solution with metallic aluminum. The equations for solution (1) and precipitation (2) are: HgS + Na 2 S = HgS.Na 2 S (1)

According to the final results, using the combination of these methods, gold recovery is increased to 93.3% and the recovery of mercury increased …

Mercury was used in the processing of crushed silver ores at the mill site to increase recovery of precious metals (Lindgren, 1887). Since heavy metals other than silver were not recovered at the mill, and mercury loss was inevitable during processing, these elements would have been expelled with the finely ground rock waste as mill tailings.

Mercury Free Gold Processing. By Kevin Telmer - April 23, 2017. Using mercury amalgamation to separate gold particles from ore is not only dangerous to the health and environment of miners and their families but it is also inefficient. Recovery is an important aspect of efficiency in mining.

The mill was restarted and the cyanide slurry was tumbled inside the mill. The maximum leaching time of a subsample was 24 h . The leaching tailings were washed, dried, quartered, pulverized and then analyzed by fire assay. The dissolved cyanide in the slurry was monitored by titration with silver nitrate in the presence of potassium iodide.

The Eureka Mill on the Carson River silver discarded in tailings piles. The general milling process employed before 1900 involved pulverizing ore with stamp mills, creating a slurry, and adding mercury to the mixture. Mercury forms an amalgam with the precious metals which is then separated from the solution and retorted. After 1900, cyanide

Huntley, Oakland, Cal.—About 15 years ago it chanced to be my lot to cyanide some mill tailings, assaying about $5 per ton in gold and a few cents in silver.

How Mercury Is Used in Gold Mining. First, mercury is mixed with the materials containing gold. A mercury-gold amalgam then is formed because gold will dissolve in the mercury while other impurities will not. The mixture of gold and mercury is then heated to a temperature that will vaporize the mercury, leaving behind the gold.

Mercury occurs naturally in the environment and can be found in elemental (metallic), inorganic, and organic forms. Modern uses for mercury include chemical manufacturing, thermometers, and …
