Carbon-In-Leach
The carbon-in-leach process integrates leaching and carbon-in-pulp into a single unit process operation in which the leach tanks are fitted with carbon retention screens and the carbon-in-pulp tanks are eliminated. The activated carbon is added in leach, with gold adsorption occurring nearly simultaneously with gold dissolution by the cyanide ...
Application Note Cyanide Leach Process
(>10.5pH) so that free cyanide (CN-) will dissolve the gold in the ore. The chemical reaction is as follows: 4Au + 8NaCN + O 2 + 2H 2 O 4Na[Au(CN) 2] + 4NaOH In this paper we will look at the various mining processes and the role that pH control plays in the gold extraction process. Gold Processing Gold ore comes in a wide variety of formations.
