Abstract
The orthogonal array design has been used to determine the optimum conditions for gold recovery from Zarshuran refractory gold sulfide ore (Iran) by direct cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation. The Taguchi method was used as the experimental design to determine the optimum conditions of dissolution behavior of gold with cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation from Zarshuran refractory gold ore . The experimental conditions were studied in the range of 10–12 for pH, 20-40 for time(h), 400-1200 for cyanide content (g/ton) and 30 -40 for percent solid(%). Orthogonal array (OA) L9 (34) consisting of four parameters each with three levels, was chosen. From this study for direct cyanidation the total optimum gold dissolution (30.11%) obtained at pH (10), Time (40 h), Cyanide content (800g/ton) and Percent solid (30%). Also for roasting- cyanidation the total optimum gold dissolution (34.96%) obtained at pH (12), Time (40 h), Cyanide content (1200g/ton) and Percent solid (35%).

Abstract
A method for producing high surface area nano-sized mesoporous alumina from inexpensive Iranian kaolin
as raw material is proposed. In this method, first, kaolin was purified for purifying Kaolin, High Grade Magnetic
Separation and leaching with HCl and chemical bleaching treatment by using sodium dithionite (Na
2
S
2O4
) as reducing
agent in acidic media (H
2SO
4
) were used. Purified kaolin was calcined. After that, Al (hydr) oxide from acid -leachates of calcined kaolin was precipitated with ammonia, in presence of polyethylene glycol. Finally, a white
powder of nano-sized alumina particles was obtained after calcination. BET surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD),
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize
the sample. The resulting alumina with relatively high surface area (201.53 m

g
-1
) and narrow mean pore diameter
(6.91 nm), consists of a particle size distribution ranging from 22 to 36 nm.
