Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8701733A1] Wet chemical process for extracting gold and silver by direct oxidizing, sulphuric acid disintegration of carbon-containing arsenopyrite (FeAsS2) concentrates containing silicate gangue or silicate and pyritic gangue, in which arsenic and iron are fully transformed into solution and the precious metals are quantitatively enriched in the silicate residue. After decarbonization gold and silver can be obtained by cyanide leaching without adsorption losses. Also described is a wet chemical process for making concentrates with a high gold and silver content.
