PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF GOLD AND SILVER FROM USED REFRACTORYBRICKS
Field of the invention The present invention relates to a process for the recovery of gold and silver from used refractory bricks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for the recovery of gold and silver from the used refractory bricks of Dore bricks of Dore furnace. The invention also relates to a process for the recovery of gold and silver from the used refractory bricks generated during the processing of the anode slimes of copper industry, through a non-cyanide route. The invention will be useful for gold producing, gold refining and copper producing industries. Background of the invention
Usually when copper metal is produced from its sulphide ores such as chalcopyrite by pyrometallurgical route, precious metals like gold and silver enter into the copper metal. During electrorefining of copper, these precious metals get collected into the anode slimes. These slimes are then made free from the associated selenium, tellurium and copper etc. and smelted in the Dore furnace to get the Dore Bullion containing gold and silver. During the smelting of the anode slimes, a portion of the gold and silver enter into the refractory bricks of the Dore furnace. At the end of their life cycle, the used refractory bricks are replaced with new bricks. Such used refractory bricks are also generated in gold production plants. The amount of gold and silver entering into the refractory bricks is substantial. A survey of published literature and patents does not disclose any solution to address the problem of recovering gold and silver from the used refractory bricks of Dore furnace generated in the processing of the anode slimes of copper industry, through a non-cyanide route. Objects of the invention
The -main object of the present invention is to provide a process for the recovery of gold and silver from the used refractory bricks of the Dore furnace, which obviates the drawbacks as detailed above.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the recovery of gold and silver from the used refractory bricks of the Dore furnace generated during the processing of the anode of copper industry through a non-cyanide route. Summary of the invention
Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for the recovery of gold and silver from the used refractory brick of the Due furnace which comprises.

(iϋ) leaching the said roasted powder with ammoniacal sodium thiosulphate solution at a temperature in the range of 40-90°C for 4-10 hrs and separating the solids and liquid by filtration (iv) precipitating silver from the leached liquor obtained from step (iii) as silver sulphide and converting it to metallic silver by heating at a temperature in the range 600 -
800°C (v) leaching the solid residue obtained from step (iii with ammonium sulphate solution at a temperature in the range of 40-90°C for 4-10 hrs to remove the acid consuming gangue constituents and filtering the solution (vi) leaching the solid residue obtaining from (v) with acidic thiourea solution in presence of ferric sulphate at a pH of 1 to 2.5 in the temperature range of 20 - 50°C for 2-6 hrs and filtering (vϋ) mixing activated charcoal with the filtered leach liquor obtained from step (vi) and agitating for 1-2 hrs for adsorbing the gold onto the activated charcoal (viii) filtering the activated charcoal loaded with gold and incinerating it at a temperature of
