The gold leaching experiments were conducted in a 5 L titanium reactor (tests 1–5, 7, and 11), a 3 L titanium reactor (tests 6 and 9), a 2 L titanium reactor (tests 15, 16, 18, and 19), and in a 2 L glass reactor (tests 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 17). The glass reactors were used in order to visually observe the behavior of the activated carbon ...
Oraby and Eksteen 12 proposed a method to improve the gold-cyanide leaching process by adding glycine. The results of their study showed that in the presence of glycine, the leaching rate of gold increased sharply in solutions containing cyanide and copper ions with low or even zero free cyanide. The leaching rates of gold containing a ...
Because of the limited recovery of precious metals from some mineral deposits containing cyanicide elements, there is a constant search for alternative leaching agents to improve the rate of recovery of gold and silver through hydrometallurgical processes.1,2, – 3 Some efforts were made to reduce the concentration of cyanicide elements such as …
Fig. 2 shows that the highest degrees of Au leaching, i.e., 92.2% and 87.8% for the CAS and pyrite samples, respectively, were achieved when the CAS and pyrite samples were bioleached in the PW and LM growth medium, respectively (Daibova et al., 2019).The low gold recovery for the pyrite sample in the PW growth media (Fig. 2) was …
The gold leaching process is a vital step in gold extraction, enabling the recovery of gold from low-grade or refractory ores. Understanding the factors influencing the process and employing …
In thiosulfate leaching of gold, the copper-ammonia complex serves as an oxidant and catalyst. This study examined the impact of magnetizing the copper-ammonia thiosulphate lixiviant solution on gold leaching from refractory oxidized ores. Magnetization reduced surface tension, improved wettability and infiltration, and enhanced the diffusion …
