Page 83 - Briefly explained, the preliminary desulphurizing treatment breaks up the refractory silver minerals when the slime pulp is brought into contact with aluminum in a caustic soda solution, the silver being left in a spongy, metallic state readily amenable to cyanide treatment. The desulphurizing is accomplished by passing the slime pulp through a revolving tube mill, in which there
Page 246 - If there is any coating on the sides and bottoms of the beakers which cannot be readily detached with a piece of filter paper, it is treated in the beaker with a hot solution of caustic soda which quickly disintegrates it. The caustic soda solution is acidulated with a little nitric acid and washed into the filter with the insoluble residue. Most of the silver
