Synergistic effect of reduction leaching of manganese

Pyrite is an important gold-bearing mineral in the Karin and orogenic gold deposits. In this type of mineral, gold is often encased in pyrite, making it difficult to dissociate, leading to failure of conventional cyanide leaching methods . Hence, refractory gold ore needs be pretreated to decompose pyrite before leaching.
