Pressure oxidation of gold ores is therefore a pretreatment leaching step to enhance gold recovery. In a very broad sense, the definition of hydrometallurgy is ( Tottle, 1985 ): That branch of metallurgy concerned with the science and art of extraction of metals from their ores by processes involving solution in water.

Stage 2: Pressure oxidation (POX) The second flowsheet stage (see Figure 2 for preliminary design) consists of leaching by pressure oxidation (POX) in an autoclave. The bulk sulphide concentrate from the flotation circuit is subjected to further size reduction to increase its chemical reactivity and to reduce residence time in the autoclave.

Pressure oxidation technology for the treatment of refractory gold concentrates has been deployed in some countries. Shuiyindong gold deposit is one of the Carlin-type deposits which is a typical difficult-to-treat gold deposit, located in Guizhou province in western China. It was the first application of acid pressure oxidation in China.

Oxidation is typically carried out at 190–230 °C and at an oxygen partial pressure of 3–7 bar by feeding gaseous oxygen with a purity above 98% into the autoclave. Reactions are highly exothermic, and the temperature in the autoclave is controlled by injecting cooling water into each autoclave compartment separately.

Pressure Oxidation. Pressure oxidation (POX) methods that are used to treat sulfidic ores, under either acidic or alkaline conditions, usually do not significantly change the nature of the noncarbonate carbon in the ore. Therefore, even if the sulfide oxidation is effective, the preg-robbing effect still causes issues with gold recovery.

fine grinding in the milling circuit. This creates more surface area for oxidative attack in the autoclave, hence reducing the required retention time by increasing the rate of autoclave chemical reactions (Western Minerals Technology, 2004).
