1. Introduction. Currently, cyanide is the predominant lixiviant used to extract gold due to its strong complexation with gold and the technical simplicity of the leaching process (Avraamides, 1982, Habashi, 1987, Marsden and House, 2006).However, the use of cyanide can bring challenges in terms of environmental, health and safety aspects …
Heap Leaching Flow Chart Incorporating Agglomeration into the Heap Leaching Process. The agglomeration of the fines in the heap leaching process allows for enhanced, even percolation of a heap. If left untreated, smaller fines can accumulate in the spaces between larger particles, inhibiting flow of the leaching solution (see figure 2).
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process … See more
In addition, the literature has shown that each gold leaching lixiviant has different operating conditions of pH and redox potentials for efficient process performance [1, 30]. Also, each gold leaching lixiviant has unique features and limitations for gold processing [4,5,6,7,8,9, 14, 26, 27, 31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39].

A relatively low yield during precious metal recovery by heap leaching (50 to 80 %) is associated with a number of reasons, including the difficulty of selecting the optimal process parameters due to the wide range of gold grain sizes: ultra-dispersed (nano-range) — from 10 –9 to 10 –7 m, fine-dispersed (meso-range) — from 10 –6 to 10 –5 m, …

So is the head-grade of gold used in the batch leach test (g/ton) Sm is the ultimate residue value i.e. the gold concen-tration in the residue after an 'infinite' period of leaching. In this case, 80 hours of batch leaching is a good approximation to infinity. This value will vary as.
The process was patented in 1887 and is the basis for much of the world's gold industry today. This leaching reaction is always carried out in a basic solution. However, the cyanide complex is stable even in acid solution. So why not run the process in acid (which is cheaper than base)? First, the reaction is slow in acid.

The process is characterized for its economic cost against the agitated leaching process when the ore deposit has a low gold content. Typically the process can process ores whose gold content is 0.8-1.1 g/t. The leaching solution is spread at the top of the pile and the pregnant solution will have to percolate through the pile.
