Hi guys 

I am a Junior Metallurgist at a Gold plant, we have been experiencing overflowing leach tanks. By blending our pyrrhotite ore with calcrete, the tank levels drop. We have a train of 10 leach tanks, with the first 3 being the most problematic. I have discovered that dish-washing, Foam, Anti-scant and Detergent reduces the settling rate of the slurry, i could make use of any information regarding the situation.

 

Thank you
