Smelting and Roasting Gold and Silver Ores
Selenium, mercury and other toxic elements are also found in many high sulfide gold and silver ores as well. To roast sulfide ores, it takes a good red heat and a good amount of air, but not too hot as you don't want to melt them. As previously noted, materials that have been crushed to small sizes reacts better with the oxygen in the air. ...

Leaching of an oxide gold ore with chloride/hypochlorite …
An oxide gold ore was subjected to chloride/hypochlorite leaching at room temperature. The effects of three factors, including Ca(OCl) 2 vs. NaOCl, OCl − concentration, and HCl concentration on gold leaching performance were investigated. Due to formation of CaOCl + complex in solution and hence less reactivity, calcium hypochlorite produces a …

Abstract—Gold and silver are capable of forming stable natural compounds with different elements. For gold 36 minerals are known: 10 in the class "Native metals, intermetallic compounds" and 26 in the class "Sulfides (selenides, tellurides, arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides)." For silver, 194 minerals are registered in the MMA, presented in 8 classes. …

Roasting
Oxidation roasting is often used in sulfide ore smelting. It is used to remove the sulfur ore, arsenic, antimony, and other harmful impurities in ore. In oxidation roasting, the sulfide ore is first decomposed into low-valence sulfide and sulfur, and then the oxide is formed. The oxidation roasting of some sulfide ores is exothermic.
