been applied to gold ore refractory and refractory concentrates. This process involves the oxidation of sulfide‚ ferrous‚ and sometimes carbon containing minerals in order to liberate the gold trapped within. This process is possible by use of several bacterial strains which gain energy from the oxidation of reduced sulfur and ferrous minerals. There are three main bioleaching techniques: heap bioleaching‚ bioreactors and vats. Optimizing the biooxidation of gold ore involves numerous physicochemical

The ore is grinding into small pieces by means of grinding medium (the steel ball‚ steel forging‚ and steel bar). The purpose is to make useful minerals and gangue mineral composition of ore to dissociation maximum‚ to provide size to meet the requirements of beneficiation process materials. Grinding is a very important job in dressing plant and grinding product quality will directly influence the classification index. The grinding process is a high energy consumption process. Therefore‚ to improve

gemstone is a piece of mineral crystal‚ when the gem is cut and polished‚ it is normally used for jewelry. Why do gems have so much value? When the gemstone is uncut‚ it tends to look like a rock. When the gem goes through the polishing process‚ that is what gives the gemstone it’s value. What is the study of gems? The study of gems is called
