A fundamental study of the simultaneous gold dissolution during the alkaline oxidation of sulfide containing refractory gold ores and concentrates.

黄金行业是澳大利亚第二大出口创汇行业，因此对澳大利亚经济至关重要。拟议项目旨在开发一种环境上可接受的工艺，用于处理不适合常规氰化法的含金硫化矿和精矿。这将为澳大利亚黄金行业和澳大利亚环境带来巨大利益。研究项目的成功还将带来技术转让带来的出口收入，并提高澳大利亚在高质量研究和学术努力方面的声誉。

The gold industry is Australia's second largest export earner and therefore is immensely important to the Australian economy. The proposed project aims to develop an environmentally acceptable process for treating gold containing sulfidic ores and concentrates that are not amenable to conventional cyanidation. This would provide an enormous benefit to both the Australian gold industry and the Australian environment. A successful outcome in the research project would also lead to export earnings emanating from technology transfer and enhance Australia's reputation for high quality research and academic endeavours.
