The application of pressure oxidation (POX) followed by thiosulfate gold leaching is an efficient method used to extract gold from double refractory gold ores containing both sulfide and carbonaceous matter. This process is expected to result in high gold recovery rates, as it liberates gold from sulfides and eliminates the preg-robbing …

Circular canvas filter leaves are explained in figure 2 above and figure 4 shows the rectangular filter leaves. Figure 7: Rectangular leaf filter (Gold Metallurgy, 2011). Leaf sizes are normally 1.8 m wide by 2.15 m deep or 2.0 m wide by 1.2 m deep. Most commonly, 50 leaves are contained in individual tanks.
If the solution is rich enough can be treated by zinc powder and the precipitated obtained (cement) obtained will be sent to retorting and smelting. For gold extraction the strength of cyanide solution ranges from 0.01 to 0.05%. Lime is added to the process in order to have a pH near to 10-11.

minerals dissolve readily in cyanide solutions. For example, leaching 2 4 h at 23 C and -150 µ m. results in copper dissolution from 85.5% (cuprite) t o 94.5% (azurite). No report was found on ...
Non-toxic technology extracts more gold from ore. Study shows new chloride-based process recovers 84% of gold compared to the 64% recovered with traditional methods. Gold is one of the world's ...
The cyanide process is the dominant method for gold recovery from ores, but due to different technical and environmental issues the established cyanide process reaches its limit.
In one, the ground ore is put into a tank containing a weak cyanide solution and zinc is added. The zinc causes a chemical reaction which separates the gold from the ore. The gold is then removed from the solution with a …
Au and Cu leaching from a refractory gold ore by glycine-cyanide were investigated. • 92% Au recovery could be obtained by 0.5 M/L glycine using 2000 ppm cyanide. • At the optimal approach, cyanide consumption can be reduced by about 80%. • The gold and copper recoveries in cyanide dissolutions are almost the same. •
The cyanide process is the dominant method for gold recovery from ores, but due to different technical and environmental issues the established cyanide process reaches its limit.

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 …
At present, stockpiling is the most common treatment method for cyanide tailings in gold plants, which not only causes environmental problems but also wastes …
Study shows new chloride-based process recovers 84% of gold compared to the 64% recovered with traditional methods.
This paper presents an investigation on the combination of agitated reactor leaching and recovery of gold from mildly refractory ore in cyanide-free alkaline glycine media. Optimal leaching parameters for gold extraction were evaluated using response surface methodology. The investigated parameter range was 0.5–2 M for glycine concentration ...
Gold Recovery from Chloride Leaching Solutions by Electrodeposition-Redox Replacement Method. Currently, the adsorption methods (e.g., CIP / CIL) are by far dominating the recovery of gold from leaching solutions, especially in cyanide media. However, gradual shift towards cyanide-free gold….
Fleming et al. (2011) pointed out that as of 2009, more than 20% of the global gold production was from copper -gold ores. The process of gold recovery from these ores is often associated with ...

Cyanide process, method of extracting silver and gold from their ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide. The process was invented in 1887 by the Scottish chemists John S. MacArthur, Robert W. Forrest, and William Forrest.
Abstract The use of an ion exchange resin in the recovery of copper cyanide complexes from wastewater and the recycling of the cyanide used in cyanidation to the gold cyanidation step is an economically interesting process. The equilibrium and kinetics in the loading stage using a strong base resin, Bayer Lewatit MP500, have been studied in …
