 Gold Ore Production Processing line Gold Mining Ore Production Beneficiation Machine

Brief Introduction

 

The carbon leaching method (CIL) is developed on the basis of the gold extraction process for the replacement of fully viscous zinc cyanide powder. The coal leaching process is characterized by the fact that the leaching and adsorption operations are performed simultaneously, which saves the stirring tank and saves the investment. In recent years, newly built wet gold mining plants have generally adopted this process.

 

 

Raw Material

 

The carbon leach process is suitable for treating low sulfur oxidized ores with a lot of slurry, and is not suitable for high silver gold ores. Usually, the gold / silver ratio can not exceed 1: 5. At present, the best conditions for using the carbon leach method are: PH = 10-11, sodium cyanide concentration not less than 0.015% , size Activated carbon particle 1-3.35mm, the carbon type is coconut shell activated carbon, and the leach pulp concentration is 40-45%.

Process

 

 The specific process is as follows:

Leaching and adsorption

The carbon leaching method is characterized by the simultaneous leaching and adsorption of gold. The number of leaching stages is usually 6 to 10 stages. The gold content of the suspension solution after adsorption by this method is generally 0.01 to 0.03 g / m³.

Cyanide leaching

In the leaching process, cyanide is used to leach gold and silver from the ore, forming a gold-silver cyanide complex. Lime is used to maintain a high pH to prevent the generation of toxic hydrogencyanide gas. In a carbon leaching plant with a higher level of automation, a hydrogen cyanide gas detector is installed in the leaching and adsorption area.

          

Activated carbon adsorption

The commonly used activated carbon is coconut activated carbon, which has good adsorption performance and good wear resistance; Each adsorption tank should be equipped with a carbon screen, and the screen is usually 24 mesh 304 stainless steel. Carbon screens are mostly cylindrical and V-shaped, and our company uses vibrating screens.

Desorption

The desorption liquid in the high temperature and high pressure desorption method is aqueous solution of 0.1% sodium cyanide and 1% sodium hydroxide, the temperature is 150-170 ℃, the pressure is 0, 35 MPa and the desorption time is only 4-6 h to reach the process conditions. This method greatly reduces the consumption of chemicals, the desorption rate is fast and the carbon cycle period is short. However, the process needs to cool before desorbing the expensive liquid to avoid boiling and splashing.
