Roasting is considered a pre-treatment before Carbon-in-Leach Process to treat a refractory gold ore. It is necessary to perform a testing program to determine the effect of particle size (e.g. 70, 50, 40, 30 um K80), temperature (e.g. 500, 600, 700 oC) and residence time (e.g. 1. 2, 3 h) on gold leaching. Gold dissolution is evaluated performing bottle roll tests. For example, If the gold extraction is as high as 90%, the roasting parameters are correct.
