A pyrometallurgical chlorination process, the Miller process is one of the oldest and most widely used processes in large scale gold refining. ... The Aqua Regia process can produce gold of up to 99.99 percent purity. It is based on the fact that Aqua Regia (a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids in a 4.5:1 ratio) can dissolve gold into ...

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 chlorination roasting process, the results …
