1．Gold CIP method has strict requirements on activated carbon. If the carbon is not strong enough, it will be broken in the adsorption process, which will cause the loss of gold with the broken carbon. 2．The process is more complicated and contains many process flows. 3．Gold CIP method is not suitable for gold ores with high silver …
most commonly implemented cyanide detoxification processes include the INCO process (SO 2 /air) using sodium metabisulfite (SMBS) and the Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) process. The choice of cyanide detoxification process depends on various factors, and careful consideration is required before implementation. 1.1 INCO process:
Processing Heap Leachable Gold Ore by Cyanidation Oxide ore (low grades) will be unloaded on the heap leach PAD. Lime must be added during the discharge in order to control pH. Harvesting must be performed after the ore discharge is completed in order to avoid compaction caused by the trucks during the leach cell construction. After …

The gold CIP process includes seven operation stages: preparation of leaching pulp, cyanide leaching, carbon adsorption, gold-loaded carbon desorption, electrolysis to obtain muddy gold, de-gold carbon recycling, and treatment of leaching pulp.. Preparation of leaching pulp Grind the gold-containing material to a particle size suitable for …
A flowsheet has been developed to treat the flotation tailings from a copper mine in Mexico to recover gold and silver by cyanidation and carbon-in-pulp (CIP). The plant will treat ~15,000 t/day of a 60:40 blend of current flotation tailings and the mine's historic tailings. The tailings also ...
Dissolved zinc-cyanide complex is built-up in the cyanidation plant reaching levels that require a bleed from cyanide solutions [12]. In this context, the SART process applied to recover cyanide and zinc could be implemented in cyanidation plants such as Cerro Vanguardia [13], La Coipa [14], El Peñón, and Yanacocha, among others [15].
