dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to investigate the effect of the alkaline sulfide (Na2S+NaOH) pre-identification process on cyanide leaching performance in oxidized refractory gold-silver ores. The ore has intensive oxide, carbonate, and silicate content, and contains Au/Ag minerals containing electrum, acanthite, and silver-bearing FePbZn Sulphate-Arsenate/Hydroxide minerals together with Fe, Pb, and Zn minerals. Niğde Ulukışla refractory Au/Ag ore has 8-9 g/T gold and 170-180 g/T silver grades. In mineralogical examinations, it was found that these metals were closed in minerals such as iron oxy/oxyhydroxide, calcite, and quartz or neighboring these minerals. In the cyanide soluble process after alkali sulfide preliminary procedure at room temperature, metal extraction yields were obtained as 62% for gold and 7% for silver. It is seen that silver is adversely affected by this process compared to the direct cyanidation process. However, after the hot alkali treatment process, metal extractions improved by approximately 25% of gold and 74% of silver. This increase in yield can be considered as converting Ag-oxyhydroxide into soluble Ag forms as a result of the effect of hot alkaline sulfur leaching on the cyanide process. The most important advantage of this decomposition process is to achieve high metal extraction efficiency in lower alkali concentrations.
