ROASTING AND GOLD RECOVERY

Flotation concentrates are thickened, then washed on a 30m2 ceramic disc filter to remove chlorides. Two-stage roasting is used to oxidise pyrite. Arsenic is also removed. Roasting is exothermic and self-sustaining, heat from the reaction being sufficient to maintain the required operating temperatures: 580°C in the first stage, and 650°C in the second.

Calcine from the Dorr-Oliver fluidised-bed roasters is cooled, then treated with lime and cyanide solution, with gold recovery on to activated carbon in a series of seven adsorption tanks. Loaded carbon is stripped in a desorption circuit, gold being recovered by electrowinning on to steel wool, calcining to oxidise the steel and subsequent smelting to produce doré bars.
