Abstract
The recovery of gold from refractory ores and concentrates is a significant problem in the modern gold processing industry. The use of bacterial oxidation technology at the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combine (Uzbekistan) made it possible to increase the share of recoverable gold during the processing of refractory ores from the Kokpatas and Daugyztau deposits. However, during the operation of the biological installation, a problem arose of abundant foaming in bacterial oxidation reactors. This article is devoted to the issue of foaming during biooxidation and its negative impact on the oxidation process. Methods of combating foaming and the choice of the optimal solution, providing for the processing of bio-oxidation foam in a separate cycle, have been analyzed.
