dc.description.abstractEl agotamiento de los minerales auríferos fáciles de tratar está haciendo crecer la necesidad de procesar depósitos de oro no convencionales que se caracterizan por la presencia de oro asociado a ciertos elementos que no permiten obtener buenas recuperaciones del metal precioso usando la cianuración convencional. Entre todos los tipos de minerales de oro refractarios, los telururos de oro-plata son bien conocidos como refractarios, pero es limitada la información sobre opciones para procesarlos. En este trabajo se presenta la investigación de un pretratamiento propuesto para el tratamiento de un mineral de oro asociado a telururos de oro y plata. El pretratamiento propuesto se basa en el uso de ácido nítrico para oxidar los minerales que generan la refractariedad en una muestra de mineral de oro asociado a telururos proveniente de la región del Bajo Cauca. Durante esta investigación se realizó una caracterización física y química del mineral para después proponer un tratamiento adecuado y capaz de potenciar la recuperación de oro y plata desde la muestra recibida. El tratamiento propuesto consistió en tres etapas: (i) acidificación del mineral para descomponer cualquier especie importante consumidora de ácido presente en el mineral, (ii) lixiviación atmosférica del mineral con una solución diluida de ácido nítrico (pretratamiento) para eliminar la refractariedad, y (iii) cianuración del residuo sólido del pretratamiento para recuperar el oro y la plata contenidos en el mineral. Para estudiar el efecto de las variables del pretratamiento sobre la recuperación de oro en la cianuración post pretratamiento se estableció un diseño experimental factorial 2^k y se realizó un análisis ANOVA de los resultados. Los resultados del diseño experimental mostraron que después del pretratamiento la recuperación de oro mediante cianuración convencional aumenta hasta un 30% en comparación con las cianuraciones base. Se encontró que las tres variables estudiadas del pretratamiento estaban correlacionadas positivamente con la recuperación de oro durante la cianuración del residuo sólido del pretratamiento. Para la plata se encontró la correlación opuesta ya que el pretratamiento no mejoró la recuperación de la plata y las tres variables del pretratamiento resultaron estar correlacionadas negativamente con su recuperación. Como se esperaba, se encontró que el aumento de la recuperación de oro durante la cianuración estaba asociado con la descomposición de los telururos durante el pretratamiento. (Tomado de la fuente)
dc.description.abstractDepletion of easy-to-treat ores is heightening the necessity for processing non-conventional gold deposits characterized by the presence of gold associated with certain elements that impede efficient recovery of the precious metals through the conventional cyanidation process. Among all types of refractory gold ores, gold-silver tellurides are well known as refractory, but limited information is available on processing options to treat them. This work presents an investigation into a proposed pretreatment designed for the processing of a gold ore associated with gold and gold-silver tellurides. The proposed pretreatment is based in use of nitric acid to oxidize the minerals responsible of the refractoriness of a gold ore sample associated with tellurides from the Bajo Cauca region. Physical and chemical characterization of the ore was carried out to then propose a suitable treatment capable of enhancing the gold and silver recovery from the received ore. The proposed treatment consisted of three stages: (i) acidification of the ore to decompose any major acid consumer specie present in the ore, (ii) atmospheric leaching of the ore with diluted solution of nitric acid (pretreatment) to eliminate the refractoriness, and (iii) cyanidation of the pretreatment solid residues to recover the ore’s gold and silver content. To study the effect of the pretreatment variables on the gold recovery during the post pretreatment cyanidation, a 2^k factorial experimental design was established, and an ANOVA analysis of the results was carried out. The results of the 2^k factorial experimental design showed that after the pretreatment gold recovery by conventional cyanidation increase up to 30% comparted with base cyanidations. The three studied pretreatment variables were found to be positively correlated with gold recovery during cyanidation of the solid residue of the pretreatment. For silver, the opposite correlation was found since the pretreatment did not improve the silver recovery and the three pretreatment variables turned out to be negatively correlated with its recovery. As expected, the increase of the gold recovery during the cyanidation was found to be associated with the decomposition of the tellurides during the pretreatment.
