摘 要：Gold in cyanide tailings from Shandong Province is mainly encapsulated by hematite and magnetite at distribution rates of 76.49 % and 10.88 %, respectively.Chlorination–reduction one-step roasting of cyanide tailings was conducted under the following conditions: calcium chloride dosage of 6 %, bituminous coal dosage of30 %, calcium oxide dosage of 10 %（all dosages are vs.the mass of cyanide tailings） at 1000 °C of roasting temperature. X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, and chemical-phase analysis were performed to investigate the effects of iron phase transformation on the high-temperature chlorination of gold.Results indicate that the lattice structure of hematite undergoes expansion, pulverization, and reorganization when hematite is reduced to magnetite, which leads to42.03 % gold exposure, and the high-temperature chlorination rate of gold is 41.17 % at the same time. The structure of wustite formed by the reduction in magnetite is porous and loose, and thus 44.02 % of gold is exposed. The high-temperature chlorination rate of gold is increased by41.98 percentage points. When wustite is reduced to metallic iron, 4.42 % of gold is exposed, and the hightemperature chlorination rate of gold is increased by3.38 percentage points. Accordingly, the high-temperature chlorination of gold mainly occurs in two stages, in which Fe2O3 is reduced to Fe3O4, and Fe3O4 is reduced to FexO finally.
