In the cyanide production process especially for ores containing more sulfide components it is usually necessary to control the concentration of lime in the leaching operation For the gold concentrate cyanide plant the CaO concentration of the general control leaching process is between 2...

Process Cyanide can be used to extract gold either in a controlled mill environment or more crudely on rock piles in the open Cyanide vat leaching mixes finely crushed ore with a cyanide salt in water The cyanide binds to the gold ions and makes them soluble in...

Heap Leaching extraction of gold using heap leaching and carbon recovery Cyanide has a natural affinity for gold which dissolves in it just as sugar would in a hot drink Cyanidation has been the principal method of extracting gold from ore since the development of the MacArthur-Forrest Process in 1887 which proved crucial in the...

Outotec s cyanide leaching plants are available as gold adsorption directly from the process slurry in carbon-in-leach CIL and carbon-in-pulp CIP process In addition dissolved gold can be recovered from the solution after solid-liquid separation by Merrill-Crowe and carbon-in-column operations...

Also cyanide leaching is used to process gold in the Aghdareh mine The main problem in extraction is achieving an acceptable separation of Au from its ore Thus the effects of the main controllable parameters affecting gold recovery are evaluated discussed and optimized In this study an experimental design technique the response surface...

Sodium cyanide is the most commonly used leaching chemical in gold extraction process According to theoretical calculation leaching 1 gram of gold only requires 05 grams of sodium cyanide However in most gold cyanidation plants the consumption of cyanide is high which is 50-100 times higher than the theoretical calculation...

Gold cyanidation also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur-Forrest process is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complexIt is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction Production of reagents for mineral processing to recover gold copper zinc and silver represents...

Jan 01 2016 0183 32 The recent development of a thiosulfate leaching plant at Barrick Gold s Goldstrike operation has alluded to the complex and unstable nature of leaching gold using this system and the significant process design difference of using thiosulfate over conventional cyanide Braul 2013 Choi et al 2013 La Brooy and Smith 2013...

Most cyanide leaching is carried out at a alkaline pH of between 10 and 11 depending upon lab testing of individual ores and the optimum leaching/chemical use rat The cyanide solution strength is also important in leaching gold with the typical range of solution being in the 002 -005 NaCN...
