Cyanide Leaching. A reference cyanide leaching experiment was carried out in an agitated reactor with a rotational speed of the stirrer at 350 rpm for 36 h with 400 g/ton sodium cyanide (NaCN, 99%) concentration. The other leaching conditions were set at pH = 11, solid/liquid ratio 500 g/L, and 0.5 L/min air purging.

Introducing Outotec OKTOP® CIL Reactor OKTOP® CIL reactors are specially designed and optimized equipment for the gold cyanide leaching and recovery, and are suitable for both CIL and CIP process applications. With more than 1000 OKTOP® reactors installed in various mining and metallurgical duties, OKTOP® CIL reactors are
Gold concentrates are produced at many mines by a variety of centrifugal and gravity machines, such as Knelson and Falcon concentrators, however the subsequent recovery of gold is relatively inefficient and subject to security problems. The InLine Leach Reactor (ILR) offers a new method to recover over 95% of gold in concentrates using a simple, …

Pressure oxidation is a hydrometallurgical oxidative pretreatment for refractory ores, such as sulfide ores. Here, simultaneous alkaline pressure oxidation and sodium cyanide leaching treatments were carried out on a pyritic ore from the Mulatos Mine located in Sahuaripa, Sonora, Mexico. Mineral characterization, agitation leaching, …
