Gold Circuit Carbon Sampling for Inventory and Movement

Metallurgical performance of gold and silver mineral processing flowsheets is typically evaluated using assay balance and production balance techniques. With assay balance the mill feed, tailings, and some intermediate streams are sampled and assayed. Gold circuit performance can then be evaluated using mass balance techniques. Unsteady plant conditions and difficulties in sampling and measuring moving streams are some problems with this method. Production balance measures … Read more

Carbon Cyanidation

Countercurrent carbon cyanidation with simultaneous dissolution of gold by cyanide and its adsorption by carbon offers several advantages over other carbon cyanidation processes as: the rate of dissolving the gold is faster, higher grade gold-bearing carbon is obtained, less carbon per ton of ore treated is required, separate dissolving and absorbing units are not needed, adsorption … Read more

AARL Carbon Stripping System Operation: Elution & Electrowinning

The Anglo American Research Laboratories AARL carbon stripping system used in this EXAMPLE has two definite advantages when compared with its most common counterpart, the Zadra system. It is much less expensive to operate and it produces a cleaner stripped carbon. It is however very reliant upon the availability of an abundant supply of good quality water … Read more
