- Abstract
The process mineralogy test was carried out on the cyanide tailings produced by a gold smelting enterprise to explore the target elements and mineral dissemination characteristics, the occurrence state of the target elements, and the particle size distribution of the target minerals in the cyanide tailings samples. The results show that the gold minerals in the samples are mainly natural gold and electrum. Gold minerals are mainly symbiotic with pyrite, and a small amount is symbiotic with arsenopyrite and quartz. Gold minerals mainly exist in the form of encapsulated gold, which is embedded in fine particles. The content of fine particles accounts for 93.46%, and the average particle size is 5.81 μm.The process mineralogy test of the cyanide tailings sample provides important data support for the subsequent experimental study of the cyanide tailings and the comprehensive utilization of valuable metals.
