Application Note Cyanide Leach Process
The leaching process will take from 60-90 days. High grade ore is typically reserved for agitated leaching. fi nely ground ore (< 200 mesh) is combined with the cyanide solution in a series of tanks. This slurry is referred to as "pulp". Agitators and air / oxygen are added at each tank. The oxygen reacts with the sodium cyanide to
Measuring pH in Cyanide Leaching
with the same cyanide solution and lime as the heap leach. The process is similar to heap leaching, but the agitated leach is much faster and more efficient because the smaller particles have more surface area. The leaching process is conducted in leach tanks that have a total residence time of about 24 hours. The gold cyanide

Gold Leach Tank Aeration
Gold Leach Tank Aeration. This was originally published by Eriez. Gold Leaching, Gas Injection and Bubbles. The processing of low-grade gold ores is largely made possible through the use of the cyanide leaching process. The goal of any leaching process is to selectively bring a desired mineral into solution in order to efficiently separate it ...
The process design of gold leaching and carbon-in-pulp …
Leaching takes place in a series of agitated leach reactors or pachucas. Before leaching the pH of the pulp is normally adjusted to a value of around 9.5–11 to ensure minimum loss of cyanide as hydrogen cyanide. The leaching of gold can be conveniently represented by the Elsener equation: [1] Although air agitated leach tanks were commonly ...
Gold Leaching Agitation Tanks
The Dorr Leaching Agitator. The Dorr agitator, in general use today, is a combination mechanical and air agitator designed for use in round, flat- bottomed tanks as large as 50 ft. in diameter and 25 ft. in depth. The pulp and coarse solids from the bottom of the tank are elevated by means of air through the revolving hollow central shaft to a ...
Improving the gold leaching process of refractory ores …
Abstract. Gold ores have been a subject of numerous investigations aimed at enhancing gold recovery and improving leaching kinetics. This is because the cyanidation process cycle, although well established and well researched, remains a process of long duration. To reach the acceptable gold recoveries i.e., +80%, some ores are leached for …
Gold Leaching Agitators Optimization | Dynamix …
By far the most common leaching process, gold cyanidation produces a complex ion of gold and cyanide, called aurocyanide. Activated carbon then adsorbs the aurocyanide from the ore slurry, with CIP …

4Cu + 8NaCN + 2H 2 O + O 2 → 4NaCu (CN) 2 + 4NaOH. (3) The formation of copper and silver cyanide complexes affects the gold recovery in both the cyanide leaching process as well as the purification and refining stages [ 7 ]. These effects mainly interfere with the gold cyanide reaction and the carbon adsorption.
