The heap leaching of low-grade, copper-bearing gold ores has received considerable attention in recent years as a result of the declining grades of gold ores generally, decreasing gold prices, and the discovery of major gold deposits containing significant amounts of copper. ... The SART (Sulphidization, Acidification, Recycling and …
The 4.3 Heap Leaching SART treated solution rejoins the main PLS The crushed and agglomerated ore is flow before it arrives at the ADR plant. stacked on the leach pads in 12m lifts by a Make up cyanide is also added before the radial arm stacker.
The well published SART process applied to gold-copper cyanide solutions was selected as it allows rapid precipitation of cyanide soluble copper as a relatively pure copper sulphide. The process also allows effective recovery and recycle of …
The benefit of having a SART process in the cyanidation process is that it breaks the base metal cyanide complexes, precipitates the metals as high-grade sulfide concentrates, and frees the cyanide for recirculation to the leaching process . The SART process is described by the following sequence of unit operations:
ABSTRACT. Kinross Gold Corporation's Maricunga mine in Chile presents an ideal opportunity to apply the SART process to a heap leach operation. Given increasing …
"Kinross Gold Corporation's Maricunga mine in Chile presents an ideal opportunity to apply the SART process to a heap leach operation. Given increasing levels of cyanide complexed copper in current pregnant solutions from Maricunga heaps (over 300 ppm Cu), there is a need to reduce these levels and decrease cyanide consumption and …
The SART process is based on reactions from Eqs. (1) and (2), where copper precipitates as synthetic chalcocite, and cyanide complex does so to copper, generating free cyanide (HCN form).

Our Technologies to Treat Cyanide/SART. Gold recovery can become uneconomical when cyanide-soluble base metals such as copper and zinc are present in gold ore deposits. These metals form weak acid dissociable (WAD) complexes with the cyanide and preferentially competes for cyanide. The result is high cyanide consumption, poor gold …

Gold production from heap leaching and copper production from SART continued throughout the Quarter. Q1 2024 Production update · Total production of 2,548 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs") (Q1 2023 ...
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where ...
The copper heap leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning process has revolutionized the copper industry and significantly reduced the capital and operating costs for the production of copper from low-grade ores.A schematic of a typical heap leach/SX/EW operation is shown in Fig. 4.29.The SX part of the flowsheet recovers …
Detailed review of the state-of-art of the SART process focused on designing was made. ... (heap or agitation leaching), copper grade, leaching time, and on other operational conditions. In this respect, operational values of copper dissolution ranging between 15 and 40% from different heap leaching plants have been reported (Estay et …
