A process based on thiosulfate leaching followed by resin-in-pulp gold extraction was developed to treat the carbonaceous, preg-robbing ores of Barrick's Goldstrike orebody in the Carlin Trend of Nevada. These ores have proven to be amenable to thiosulfate leaching under mild conditions. Gold leaches rapidly as the gold thiosulfate …

Carbon Cyanidation. Countercurrent carbon cyanidation with simultaneous dissolution of gold by cyanide and its adsorption by carbon offers several advantages over other carbon cyanidation …

Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu (CN)2 + 4 NaOH. Cyanide Leaching Chemistry. In a relatively simple system of this type the gold dissolves readily. The only requirements are that the gold be free and clean, that the cyanide solution …

The gold cyanidation process is the most important method ever developed for extracting gold from its ores. The reasons the widespread acceptance of cyanidation are economic as well as metallurgical. It usually obtains a higher recovery of gold than plate amalgamation and is easier to operate than the chlorine or bromine process. It produces …

Another is the all-slime cyanidation ... Adding activated carbon to the fully leaching pulp, and the activated carbon will absorb the gold in the cyanide pulp then become the gold-bearing carbon ...

Another is the all-slime cyanidation (CIP process and CIL process), which adopts activated carbon to absorb and recover gold from cyanide pulp directly without filtration and washing. Leaching cyanidation process consists of pool leaching process and heap leaching process, which infiltrates cyanide leaching solution first, then …

Conventional gold cyanidation requires a sufficient supply of oxygen in order to improve the leaching kinetics. Ensuring consistent availability of oxygen in the leaching system can increase ...

CIP& CIL (Carbon in Pulp & Carbon in Leaching) The gold all-slime cyanidation CIP method or gold all-slime cyanidation CIL method is a new process for processing precious metal-containing pulp …

All-slime cyanidation technology is a technology process which put activated carbon into pulp and leaching with absorbing gold at the same time. It includes the stages such as leaching pulp preparation, leaching and adsorbing, gold removal carbon recycling, pulp agitation, and gold loaded carbon desorption.

Publisher Summary. This chapter focuses on the advances made in the design and operation of carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) plants. Most of the advances over the last few years have been in the area of carbon management. Trends towards cyanide-free elution are becoming more prevalent, impacting positively on …

In the leaching circuit, the ore slurry, commonly referred to as "pulp", is then subjected to leaching in a series of sequential agitated cyanidation tanks, to which cyanide is added and air is sparged into, to enable gold leaching (Adams, 1989). Once solubilized, gold adsorption occurs in a separate series of agitated tanks, in the case of ...

The common processes for recovery of the solubilized gold from solution are : 1. Carbon in pulp: Carbon in a pulp is an extraction technique of recovery of gold . which has been liberated in a cyanide solution as a part of gold cyanidation process. Carbon in Pulp is regarded as a simple and cheap process. As such it is used in most

The typical cyanidation gold extraction process usually includes: gold cyanidation leaching, washing and filtration of the leached slurry, extraction of gold from the pregnant solution, and smelting of the gold slime. 1,4,17 The simplified plant flowsheet of the cyanidation gold extraction process is given in Figure Figure1 1. In the gold ...

The heap leach cyanidation carbon adsorption electrowinning process developed has proved to be an economical method for exploiting low-grade gold ores and small isolated deposits not suitable for treatment by conventional cyanidation procedures. ... and deaeration processing steps that are employed in an all slime countercurrent …

Introduction to Gold and Silver Leaching. The cyanide leaching process is the most important method ever developed for extracting gold from its ores. The early development of the process is attributed to a Scotchman, John Stewart Mac Arthur, in collaboration with the Forrest brothers. The method was introduced into South Africa in …

Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuits have been the primary methods used for treating gold ores for many years. Although inherently robust processes, there is …

The cyanidation process has become one of the most used methods for the recovery of gold from ores. The use of cyanide leaching for gold recovery is based on gold's properties, whereby gold does

2. CYANIDE LEACHING Cyanidation uses solutions of sodium or potassium cyanide as lixiviants (leaching agents) to extract precious metals from ore. Cyanidation techniques used in the gold industry today include heap or valley fill leaching, agitation leaching followed by carbon-in-pulp (CIP), and agitated carbon-in-leach (CIL). Cyanidation is best

In addition, cyanidation has proven recovery processes such as carbon-in-pulp (CIP), carbon-in-leach (CIL), resin-in-pulp (RIP), and zinc cementation …

complex. This is typically referred to as CIP (Carbon In Pulp). Sometimes the leaching and carbon adsorption steps are combined. This is referred to as CIL (Carbon In Leach). The pulp from the leach circuit is cascaded through 4-6 tanks via gravity fl ow. Activated carbon is added at the opposite end and is pumped upstream through the tanks.

Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) has been used to recover gold from gold bearing ores. This work aims to develop a simulation model of leaching process by using cyanide solvent for the dissolution of gold by ...

lime addition rate required to achieve this will depend on the specific properties of the pulp. Typical lime addition rates vary from 700–1500 g/ton of CaO equivalent. Grind size. The influence of grind on the residue value that can be attained by direct cyanide leaching is illustrated in principle in Figure 4.

Keywords: Gravity concentration; Cyanidation; Electrowinning; Leaching and reaction kinetics 1. Introduction The last two decades has seen resurgence in the re- covery of gold using gravity-often in conjunction with a conventional carbon-in-pulp (CIP) or carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit. Generally the g ravity gold concentrates

are normally generated from laboratory cyanidation, carbon-in-leach (CIL) or carbon-in-pulp (CIP) tests using standard procedures (Angove, 2005). The key question is whether the standard laboratory test work procedures developed historically for low reagent-consuming ores are appropriate for ores that are high cyanide and oxygen consumers.
