, the gold leaching rate is extremely low [18]. This suggests that Cu(CN)3 2 can provide sufficient cyanide ions for the leaching of gold or other minerals according to Equation (9) [18]. 4Au + 8Cu(CN)3 2 + O 2 + 2H2O !4Au(CN)2 + 8Cu(CN) 2 + 4OH (9) As the leaching of the ore proceeds, the concentrations of the major species change and so

This process is known as leaching. This reaction is normally carried out at a . pH of 10-11 as this prevents cyanide ion being converted to hydrogen cyanide which would occur if the pH was lower. Because gold is soluble in this form. it can now be separated from the rest of the ore that is insoluble. This process of dissolving the gold using ...

Most cyanide leaching is carried out at a alkaline pH of between 10 and 11, depending upon lab testing of individual ores and the optimum leaching/chemical use rates. The cyanide solution strength is also important in leaching gold, with the typical range of solution being in the 0.02% -0.05% NaCN.

Apr 05, 2020 Cyanide remains the dominant method of recovery of precious metals such as gold and silver , and Au(CN) 2 − is the main gold-cyanide species used in cyanide leaching of gold . Quartz is a typical gangue mineral in gold ores, and the adsorption of gold complexes onto quartz has received significant attention in the past.

In order to ensure good leaching kinetics and high overall gold recovery, it is . always necessary to add more cyanide during leaching than will be consumed in the leaching process. This excess cyanide reports to the tailings as uncomplexed or free cyanide, and it is often possible to recycle a portion of this cyanide at minimal cost.

direct cyanide leaching. Some epithermal deposits may be free-milling (such as the oxidized portion) but more commonly contain significant amounts of sulfides in which gold occurs as tiny inclusions or submicroscopic gold and are therefore refractory. Silver-rich ores and copper sulfide ores: Silver-rich ores and copper sulfide ores are

from the dissociation of the complex is used to leach gold from the ore. The stepwise dissociation of cyanide from copper-cyanide complexes can also be used to leach gold from a variety of oxide and sulphide ores. The copper cyanide's fourth ligand readily dissociates at low cyanide concentrations for use in gold leaching.

oxygen are required in an aqueous solution in order to leach gold. For the leaching of pure gold, the stoichiometry of Elsner’s reaction gives the required molar ratio of free cyanide to oxygen as 8:1 (or 61/ 2:1 when expressed as a mass ratio). Since cyanide is the more expensive reagent, it is desirable from a financial point of view to ...

The previous suggestions are relevant. The free cyanide concentration depends of the size of gold grains in the ore. If there is a little bit of sulphides, it may preg-rob gold if the free cyanide is too low. Determine the effect of free cyanide on the leaching profile and retention time at the lab scale.

takes place in a series of agitated leach reactors or pachucas. Before leaching the pH of the pulp is normally adjusted to a value of around 9.5–11 to ensure minimum loss of cyanide as hydrogen cyanide. The leaching of gold can be conveniently represented by the Elsener equation: [1] Although air agitated leach tanks were commonly used in
