Pressure Oxidation is a process for extracting gold from refractory ore. The most common Pressure oxidation has a very high gold recovery rate, normally at least 10% higher than roasting. The oxidation of the iron sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid, soluble compounds such as ferric sulfate, and solids such as iron
The predominant sulfide minerals in the ore contain encapsulated gold. In such processes, the refractory ores are treated by pressure oxidation to oxidize high that it is uneconomical to acidulate the ore prior to pressure oxidation, and the
Refractory gold ores are those that do not yield high gold recoveries in conventional cyanide- leaching solution within sulphide minerals pyrite and arsenopyrite (FeAsS). leaching to the aggressive conditions found in pressure oxidation.
