The application of biotechnological methods in the metallurgical industry has the potential to provide an environmentally friendly and cost-effective direction of development. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, a thionic bacterium, and the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii TN-72 CH were used as complex reagents for extracting gold from sulfide mineral raw materials. The sorption properties of modal and productive multicomponent gold-bearing solutions were studied. The sorption characteristics of the biosorbents were compared with those of sorbents currently used in gold production – the synthetic resin AM2B and GoldCarb activated carbon. The conducted research studying the sorption properties and survival ability of the microalga C. reinhardtii TN-72 CH will make it possible to develop an industrial technology for extracting metal in the hydrometallurgical cycle of gold production. The use of microorganisms in gold hydrometallurgy as an alternative to cyanide methods will reduce the load on the environment while reducing the cost of the technology. In the process of leaching gold-bearing raw materials by microorganisms, even submicroparticles of gold are released, which makes the processing of poor and refractory ores promising. Preliminary biooxidation increases the effectiveness of thiosulfates in terms of both time and gold recovery.

The paper presents the results of experiments with electroflotation beneficiation of gold-bearing raw materials. Three variants of ore samples with 0.56, 1.2 and 5.9 g/t gold grades, which also have different mineralogical and phase composition, were taken as objects of study. Based on the ionization effects, as well as changes in electrostatic and electrokinetic properties of the flotation pulp components, different electrode locations in the flotation chamber were considered. Experiments have shown that for electroflotation processing of raw materials with weakly acidic and neutral medium, positive electric potential of pulp, as well as raw materials with complex mineralogical composition, the negative electrode (cathode) should be placed at the surface of foaming and concentrate assembly, and the positive electrode (anode) in the pulp flow. For electroflotation of raw materials with neutral, alkaline pH and negative electric potential of the pulp, the anode is placed at the surface of the concentrate formation and the cathode is placed in the pulp flow. Thus, additional electrolytic treatment of mineral slurry in the flotation process can increase the gold recovery in the flotation concentrate by an average of 20–30%.
