Pretreatment Process on Refractory Gold Ores with As

The process of crushing or decomposition before gold leaching is called pretreatment of refractory gold. Statistics show that, in the world, about 2/3 gold resource belongs to the difficult processing ores, and about 1/3 total output of world gold is produced from refractory gold. This proportion will further increase in future.
