Gold Metallurgy and Leaching Process
Leaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, etc., to achieve either one or …

High gold leaching rates. Gold leaching rates are maintained by a combination of high cyanide and high oxidant levels. Cyanide levels are generally maintained above 2% in solution at a pH 13.5 Dissolved oxygen levels are at least 8 ppm and usually between 20 and 30 ppm in solution. Oxygen is efficiently absorbed from the air in the ILR due
