traditional leaching methods. Developed in the late 1980s, a 5 TPD pilot plant was installed at Process Research Ortech to prove the economics for gold, silver and copper. In the mid 1990s, a full scale 150 TPD gold processing plant was constructed and operated in
Leaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, etc., to achieve either one or two purposes
AngloGold South Africa region currently consists of twelve gold plants. These plants use a combined total of 20 million of cyanide per annum. Of this, the major portion (60%) is consumed at two Ergo dump retreatment plants. Historically the primary motivation for cyanide control at Ergo has been one of leach/cost optimization.

This plant processes 4 million tons of ore per year with an average gold content of ounces of gold per ton of ore. Approximately 85% of the gold is recovered in the plant. From the ball and/or autogenous mill, slurry is pumped to the CIL leach tanks where lime adjusts the pH, if necessary, and it is agitated for the desired period of time.
Finally, the goldbearing solution is ready for electrowinning, which recovers the gold from the leaching chemicals. In electrowinning, operators pour the goldbearing solution into a special container known as a cell. Positive and negative terminals in the cell deliver a strong electric current to the solution. This causes gold to collect on
In most cases, gold processing with cyanide leaching, usually with carbon adsorption, is still the core technology and the critical thing is understanding the mineralogy in order to optimise flowsheet selection and cost drivers, and get the best out of the process.

Leaching plants, faced with increased tonnage, coarse (up to 3/16 solids) feed, longer retention time, erosion, corrosion and the high cost of space, must be compact, simple and highly efficient. The engineer faced with the obvious economy of using a few large agitators compared to many smaller units must also evaluate the design factors which will prevent the settlingout of solids
Leaching and adsorption: pump slurry ore into the doubleimpellers leaching tanks, there are always 68 tanks working togheter; add cyanide solution into first one or two leaching tanks, add activated carbon into the rest gold leaching tanks; activated carbon adsorb gold and become the loaded gold carbon, the loaded gold

CIL gold processing plant mainly consists of following steps: 1 The ore is first reduced in size (typically 90% passing 200mesh ) to ensure that all nonrefractory gold is readily accessible for cyanide leaching, There are several variations of comminution circuits used in the gold leaching industry, such as: Multistage crushing, then ball milling circuits, typical of ball mill and hyrocyclones.
20/10/2014#0183;#32;Nature of Gold: The surface of a gold particle will typically be dissolved at a rate of around #181;m of surface depth per hour in a cyanide leach. For large gold particles and nuggets, this is too slow to be fully dissolved in a typical processing plant. Much simpler and less expensive gravity methods are available to recover this gold.
the size of the leaching plant that would be required as well as reduces the amount of leaching reagents required. Many gold plants use conventional thickening with flocculant addition. High rate thickeners, as well as dewatering systems that use cyclones only or cyclones and highrate thickeners can also be used in principle.
FLOWSHEET CY3, COUNTERCURRENT DECANTATION CYANIDE PLANT The following estimates are for countercurrent decantation cyanide circuits and are based on average grade ore requiring average treatment time. These include precipitation and accessory equipment. The equipment required for a cyanide plant
The main parameters and their values in gold leaching of the plant are presented in Table 3. The experiments were conducted in these conditions. As the amount of dissolved oxygen and the mixing rate could not be changed in the plant (due to the plant restrictions), these parameters were fixed in experiments. Table 3.
Many opportunities exist throughout the world for small cyanide plants, possibly using a Gold Leaching Process, both for production and pilot operations, especially in areas not easily accessible, and where labor and local costs are on a level for profitable operation. Ores not fully amenable to treatment by amalgamation or flotation processes for the recovery of gold and silver can often be
received attention and new rate equations expressing the gold leaching are still developed. The effect of leaching parameters on gold cyanidation is studied in this work in order to optimize the leaching process. A gold leaching model, based on the wellknown shrinkingcore model, is presented in this work. It is proposed that
