摘要
A method for separating gold from copper in a gold ore processing system. Gold ore containing elemental gold and elemental copper is treated with an aqueous cyanide solution to produce a liquid product containing a gold-cyanide complex and a copper-cyanide complex. The liquid product is then delivered to a nanofiltration membrane which prevents the copper-cyanide complex from passing therethrough while allowing passage of the gold-cyanide complex. Nanofiltration of the liquid product specifically produces (1) a retentate which contains the copper-cyanide complex; and (2) a permeate which contains the gold- cyanide complex. In this manner, the gold-cyanide complex is effectively separated from the copper-cyanide complex. The permeate is then treated (e.g. with activated carbon or elemental zinc) to ultimately obtain elemental gold therefrom. The copper-cyanide complex may either be discarded or treated to recover elemental copper from the complex.
