Hey Guys I'm doing a research on gold refinning processes available in market. I have not found any figure, drawing, schem or flowchart of the miller chlorination process. As I know there is a lot of people who understand a lot about gold refinning here, is tere anyone who could send me a picture, a schem, a draw, anything?





The thiourea leaching combined with pyrite enhanced chlorination roasting was first proposed to effectively extract gold from the second stage roasting slag, and the pyrite shown a great role in promoting gold extraction during chlorination roasting. In this process, gold could be effectively recovered from the sulfide refractory gold ore with ...







The resulting 995 fine gold is poured into an anode mould. 3. Degolding. Soda ash is added to the molten chloride slag recovered from chlorination. The reaction causes gold particles to collect in a silver-gold alloy 'button' that settles at the bottom of the crucible. 4. Electrolysis. This process brings gold to 9999 purity.





The process is efficacious, but the gold is, of course, contaminated with the reduced copper. The use of manganese dioxide in the Transvaal in refining gold-zinc-slimes from the cyanide process was described by Johnson and Caldecott in 1902. As a cheaper alternative, the author proposed ferric oxide, but this has apparently not been …



Experience has shown how difficult it is to obtain information regarding laboratory-tests in connection with the gold ore chlorination process for the extraction of gold from its ores, and I therefore present the following method, somewhat in detail, for the benefit of those who may desire to pursue research work in this field.. The ore chosen …





A novel process based on chlorination roasting was proposed to simultaneously recover gold and zinc from refractory carbonaceous gold ore by using NaCl as chlorination agent. The effects of roasting temperature, roasting time and NaCl content on the volatilization rates of gold and zinc were investigated.



The chlorination roasting of raw materials is only a basic process in chlorination metallurgy. the chlorination separation of chlorides also take place at the same time in the process of chlorination roasting, which is mainly based on the different physical and chemical properties of metal chlorides.





3.1. Case study 1: Chlorination for leaching process of gold In this case study, chlorine has been used as a leaching reagent for the leaching process of gold the reaction equation for the chlorination process shown in equation 3 to compare the effect of different solvent in leaching process of gold. Chlorination process using HCl [12], [13]:



Therefore, for gold chlorination leaching, the redox potential should be kept 1.0 V or higher for at least two hours. 3.3. The influence of various factors on chlorination leaching3.3.1. The influence of pH. The pH value is one of the significant thermodynamic factors in the chlorination leaching process.



Gold extraction by chloride is an important cyanide-free gold extraction process, which has been paid more and more attention because of its advantages of high leaching rate and no use of cyanide. Research on gold extraction by chlorination has shown a significant increase since 2010, and there are more literatures on gold extraction by liquid …





Miller chlorination was chosen as the primary refining process as it can produce molten gold of sufficient purity for pouring into saleable bars within 2 h. Wohlwill electrolysis was applied only to deposits with known high Platinum Group Metal content, as these metals are not removed by Miller chlorination, producing gold of 99.99% purity.

The direct chlorination of a pure gold was also studied up to a temperature of 1223 K. These experiments demonstrated that the precious metal is not attacked at that temperature, in agreement with the literature, which indicates that the reaction of direct chlorination of gold is produced at high temperatures (Panias and Neou-Syngouna, …

The Miller Chlorination Process is employed to upgrade the gold bullion to 99.50% purity. Subsequent to the Miller refining process, gold electrolysis is employed to produce +99.99% pure gold for the production of gold bars, granules and coins. Rand Refinery also utilises a Wet Chemical Refining Plant for high purity gold material.

Miller's Gold Chlorination process was introduced by F.B. Miller. The refining process employs chlorine gas, which passed into molten gold covered with a layer of borax and silica, and reacts with most of metals present in the molten charge. Platinum group metals do not react. Basically, gold is slightly attacked in the first moments and all ...





The Mears Process: In this process, the roasted ore was charged into lead-lined iron cylindrical barrels, together with enough water to make an easily flowing pulp ; chlorine was then forced in under pressure through the hollow trunnion of the barrel, which was revolved until the gold had been dissolved. The pressure of chlorine was stated to ...



Gold can be concentrated and recovered by applying different gold refining process methods and the final product has variable quality. In this way, it is necessary to have a better marketable product so that the incomes can be improved. ... The Miller chlorination process is well know and has been practised for a long time in the gold …





2. Chlorination Separates Impurities from Gold; The Miller process is fast and simple. It removes many impurities but only results in .995 fineness. It uses the chemical attraction between chlorine gas and the impurities in the gold alloy the gas attracts. Chlorine gas is blown or injected into the liquid gold alloy.







pyrites containing gold resulting from the concentration of free milling gold-ores is usually treated by Planner's process, which was introduced into Grass Valley, California, in 1858, by Mr. G. F. Deetken, and has been successfully practiced therefrom that time. Various modifications of it have, from time to time, been suggested.





To realize the efficient comprehensive utilization of refractory gold ore resources and environmental and economic gold extraction methods, this study investigated the optimal chlorine source for the sustained recovery of gold and vanadium from carbonaceous refractory gold ore by chlorination heat treatment. During the …
