In addition, the presence of sulphides leads to extra consumption of the cyanide-leaching agent, NaCN, due to the formation of thiocyanate, therefore increasing costs. These types of gold sulphidic ores may be pre-treated prior to cyanidation by means of an oxidation step, converting the sulphides into oxides or sulphates.

The Cyanide Leaching Process has been the most widely used and most cost effective method of extracting gold from ore since the 1970's. Most open-pit gold mining operations around the world use a heap leaching to extract ores from these types of deposits. Consider that most of the largest gold mines in the world are mining what would be ...

For the ore with chemical pretreatment, a maximum of 84.6% of the gold present in the ore can be leached in 24 hours, compared to a maximum of 49.5% for the ore without pretreatment. The dissolution rate was faster during the first 2 hours of leaching for the ore without pretreatment than for the ore with chemical pretreatment.

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 water, thereby allowing separation from the rock. This process usually takes place ...

There are two common iron sulfide minerals in the gold ores. They are pyrite and phrrhotite. The pyrite in the ore pulp will be oxidized to ferrous sulfate which will react with cyanide to produce the ferrocyanate. During the reaction process, a large amount of sodium cyanide extract will be consumed so as to affect the gold leaching efficiency.

01 Granulation. To make the gold heap leaching process successful, the heap leaching material must have good permeability so that the cyanide solution can evenly pass through the ore pile. Most ores need to be crushed to 25.4mm or finer before granulation in order to expose the gold contained in the ore and improve the gold recovery rate.

Leaching is a process widely used in extractive metallurgy where ore is treated with chemicals to convert the valuable metals within into soluble salts while the impurity remains insoluble. These can then be washed out and processed to give the pure metal; the materials left over are commonly known as tailings.Compared to pyrometallurgy leaching is easier to perform, requires less energy and ...
