The effects of pulp rheology and flowability on the rates of gold leaching and carbon adsorption are well known (Beazley and Kyle, 1989, Mezei et al., 2002). Menne's published laboratory testwork and corresponding plant operating data ( Beazley and Kyle, 1989 ) are particularly relevant as they clearly illustrate the influence of yield …

Heap leaching is a method to extract metals from ores that is used in the extraction of gold, silver and copper. The processed ore is piled on waterproof pads. Leaching solutions are applied on the surface of the heap ore by sprinkler or drip irrigation, leaching the metals contained in the ore.

Eh-pH diagram for the Fe-S-CO 3 -H 2 O system at 25 °C. Another function of carbonate in OPASL is the buffering effect on the pH value. The recent study has shown that high alkalinity (pH > 12) is beneficial to the oxidation of sulfide ore, and low alkalinity (pH < 10) could promote the gold leaching by thiosulfate.

It can be seen from Figures 11 and 12 that the effect of pH on the copper-thiosulfate reaction is more dramatic than the effect on the gold leaching reaction. Hence thiosulfate leaching should be carried out at pH values above I 1.4 to minimise the consumption ofthiosulfate. 1080 P.L. Breuer and M. 1.

Polysulfide leaching of gold has the advantages of a fast-leaching speed and high leaching rate; moreover, it is remarkably effective for the leaching of refractory gold ores. Wen et al. ( Wen et al., 2017 ) prepared alkaline sodium polysulfide using a hydrothermal method, which had a good gold extraction effect on gold-bearing …

CIL circuit is a process of continuous leaching of gold from ore to liquid and counter-current adsorption of gold from liquid to carbon particles in a series of tanks. The CIL process concentrates gold from 2.5–3.5 g/t in ore to 2000 to 6000 g/t on carbon. Although the earliest process was in South Africa in 1890, CIP/CIL was first introduced ...

Gold leaching occurs under acidic conditions (pH < 3), commonly using Fe(III), H 2 O 2 or MnO 2 as the oxidant. The leaching kinetics is relatively fast, and the gold leaching ratio is relatively high. The thermodynamic stability of SCN – is relatively low, and is readily oxidized to sulfate, carbonate, and ammonium.

Low gold dissolutions are due to the high content of copper (around 30%) in PCBs, which has a strong negative effect on the kinetics of the gold-leaching reaction, because copper competes with gold for thiourea with the formation of Cu[CS(NH 2) 2] 2 2+ that prevails over the formation of Au[CS(NH 2) 2] 2 +. This occurrence is less …

Alkaline sulfur-containing lixiviants, including thiosulfate, polysulfides, and alkaline sulfide solutions, stand out as a promising class of alternatives to cyanide because of their low toxicity, high efficiency, and strong adaptability. In this paper, we summarized the research progress and remaining challenges in gold extraction using these …

Leaching is a process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of solvent [1]. Leaching processes also are used extensively in the metals processing industries and is a main stage of reactant in gold production [2]. Typically, gold is leached from its ore using an aqueous sodium cyanide solution.

Similar to acid thiourea leaching, Fe(III) is an excellent oxidant in gold thiocyanate leaching with low cost and high effect. Generally, thiocyanate gold leaching is carried out under the following conditions: pH of 1.5–2.5, temperature of 15–50 °C, and molar ratio of dissolved Fe 3+ /SCN-of 2–20 (Azizitorghabeh et al., 2021). 3.1.4.

CIL (Carbon in Leach) is a widely used method for extracting gold from ore. It is a metallurgical process that involves the dissolution of gold particles into a cyanide solution and their subsequent adsorption onto activated carbon. Mining operations commonly employ this process to recover gold from low-grade or refractory ore.

Groudev et al. (1999) used solutions that contained amino acids of microbial origin and thiosulphate to leach the gold and silver from oxide ores that contained 3.5 g/t of gold and 14 g/t of silver. First, an alkaline solution (pH 10–10.5) was irrigated on the top of the heap to stabilize the pH.

The effect of pH value on gold extraction for various ore types is shown in Figure 28.4. Greatly increasing pH value has a beneficial effect on gold extraction for both oxide and sulfide ores and stabilizes ∼pH 9.5–10.0, whereas for some carbonaceous ores, pH value has no apparent effect. However, the outcome will vary depending on the ...

Issue. The family of chemicals containing "cyanide", a combination of carbon and nitrogen, has been used safely and effectively for over 130 years for the efficient extraction and recovery of gold and silver from ore. Cyanide is also used for a variety of other applications both within and outside the mining industry.
