Abstract

The authors describe experimental research findings on chemical-electrochemical leaching of gold from rebellious minerals. A laboratory-scale plant has been designed for studying the leaching kinetics. Rational parameters of chemical-electrochemical leaching are specified (duration of the process, electrode current density, NaCl concentration). The researchers analyze the changed microstructure and phase composition of arsenopyrite surface after the leaching and substantiate the leaching improving practices.
