Abstract

Alteration of mineral composition of the POX treated gold concentrate during Hot Cure process was examined. The study was carried out on Hot Cure discharge with different exposure time. Significant decrease in the amount of basic ferric arsenates-sulfates and an increase for scorodite was noted with duration of the Hot Cure.
