This paper presents experimental evidence that supports the use of bromine/bromide as a potential alternative to conventional cyanidation for gold leaching. The study evaluated a brominebased lixiviant, Stabilized Bromine, with considerably lower vapour pressure than liquid bromine. Using a rotating device, the rate of gold dissolution was determined at …

The recovery of gold from oxide ores with bromine was comparable to that achievable with cyanide and bromine consumption was reasonable when leaching was conducted at a near neutral pH of ~6.

The leaching experiments with iodine, bromine and aqua regia showed the fastest and continuous gold dissolution over time. A significant influence of temperature on gold leaching was observed in all experiments. Iodine is capable to extract gold a very fast (average dissolution rate of 65.679 mg·h −1 ·cm −2 at 25 °C).

Bromine leaching as an alternative method for gold dissolution. Aurora Futuro. 2018, Minerals Engineering. The leaching is fundamental for processing gold ores. During …

The metals that are more active than gold may reduce gold from gold-bromine complex ions to gold metal, which may further change the leaching mechanism. There is also a possibility of a mechanism ...

leaching, for the treatment of gold sulfide minerals and refractory gold ores. Two other important halide leaching reagents are bromine and iodine. Generally, the major advantage of halide reagents in the gold leaching is their powerful oxidizing ability, leading to a high dissolution rate compared to alkaline cyanide leaching.

Fig. 2 shows that the highest degrees of Au leaching, i.e., 92.2% and 87.8% for the CAS and pyrite samples, respectively, were achieved when the CAS and pyrite samples were bioleached in the PW and LM growth medium, respectively (Daibova et al., 2019).The low gold recovery for the pyrite sample in the PW growth media (Fig. 2) was …

The company is targeting small to medium scale miners that can't afford a conventional cyanide plant or want to avoid using cyanide. According to CSIRO, the cost of a typical cyanide-based processing plant is around $30 million, but the new technology, which is scalable, can cost as little as $2-2.5 million.

Aqua regia and iodine/iodide leaching systems were the most successful reagents, yielding of gold while showing very fast leaching rates. A comparison between the two successful reagents was carried out, with the results favoring iodine leaching due to its high selectivity for precious metals and reduced environmental impact.

Cyanide-free mild chloride leaching was investigated. •. Gold could be recovered even at <520 mV vs. Ag/AgCl in carbon-in-chloride-leach mode. •. Copper was a stronger oxidant than iron in gold leaching. •. Gold was oxidized by in-situ dissolving impurities. •. Seawater contains enough chlorides to dissolve gold.

We performed experimental tests in order to assess the feasibility of bromine produced in-situ, in the leaching reactor, to dissolve gold using ore samples from the unexploited Portuguese mine of Castromil. The reagents used in the production of bromine (NaBr, NaOCl and HCl) can be more safely stored than bromine.

The use of bromine as a lixiviant for leaching gold from ores is reported in the literature as far back as 1882.2 To overcome the problems of handling and use (high vapor pressure and corro­ sion) inherent with liquid bromine, a liquid bromine carrier of considerably lower vapor pressure than liquid bromine has been developed.
