The effects of milling time, ball size, sample to ball ratio and milling speed on thiosulfate leaching were studied. Under optimum conditions of milling time 1 h, ball size 20 mm, sample to ball ratio 1/15 and mill speed 600 r/min, nearly 78% of sample is amorphized, particle size decreases from d100=30 μm to d100=8 μm, specific surface area increases from 1.3 m2/g to 4.6 m2/g and gold recovery enhances from 17.4 % in non-activated sample to 73.26 %.展开更多

It is found that sodium dodecylsulfonate is the effective surfactant in improving the zinc recoveryfrom sphalerite in the aqueous FeCl_3-HCl-tetrachloroethylene system.Through the measurements of surface tension and viscosity of thesphalerite Slurry modified with different surfactants, it isconcluded that sodium dodecyl sulfonate in the concentration rang Of0.05 to 0.2 g·L^-1 can improve the viscosity of sphalerite slurry inthe water, decrease the surface tension of Leaching solution, preventthe aggregation of ore particles, and give very high zinc extraction.展开更多
