Elution cycle taking too long to complete - Zaadra (3 replies)
Please join and login to participate and leave a comment.
Our elution cycle are taking too long to complete. From an average of 15hrs to 24hrs for two last elutions. The parameters have remained the same except that we treating old workings tailings (sands) as plant feed i.e 4-5% caustic, >20000ppm Cn and a flow rate of 150m^3/hr. The elutions pregnant solutions drop well until at 30 ppm where it remains constant. As remedial action cell current was adjusted to 700 Amps from 500.. And no significant improvement was observed, what could be the possible cause?.
