Method for recovering gold from an ore or a refining intermediate containing gold

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering gold in an ore or a refining intermediate by sufficiently leaching gold in a raw material resulting from the ore or the refining intermediate in an acidic solution containing a copper ion, an iron ion and a halide ion, which can contribute to improve the recovery rate of gold. Provided is a method for recovering gold from an ore or a refining intermediate containing gold, the method comprising a step of contacting a gold-containing raw material obtained from the ore or the refining intermediate with an acidic solution containing a copper ion, an iron ion and a halide ion while supplying an oxidizing agent to leach the gold component in the raw material, and the halide ion in the acidic solution comprising at least a bromide ion, wherein the concentration of the bromide ion in the acidic solution is 100 g/L or more or the concentration of the bromide ion in the acidic solution is less than 100 g/L, and wherein when the concentration of the bromide ion is less than 100 g/L, a concentration ratio of the halide ions in the acidic solution is such that a ratio of the concentration of the chloride ion to the concentration of the bromide ion (a Cl/Br concentration ratio) is 1/3 or less.
