Carbon loaded with gold is then withdrawn from the circuit and processed in an acid column. This removes impurities from the carbon, before the material is transferred to the elution column where it is soaked in a heated caustic cyanide solution. Hot water is then pumped through the column to remove the gold as a high-grade eluate solution.
The areas covered are gravity-recoverable gold (GRG) characterization, GRG behaviour in classification, gravity recovery simulation and the link between gravity recovery and cyanidation.
Gravity Gold Recovery in Grinding Circuit. For efficient operation of the cyanide circuit, it is necessary to remove the coarse gold from the grinding circuit as soon as it is released, otherwise this gold will become lodged behind the liners of the ball mill and not be recovered until the ball mill is relined.
Specific gravity: 1.6-1.62 @20°C. Flashpoint: 1500 °C. pH: 9.3 - 9.5. Sodium Cyanide Quality – Chinese Sodium Cyanide Vs. Korean Vs. Australian and other sources. Sodium cyanide itself is a commodity; …

about 2 bed volumes per hour at about 200 deg-F. Gold that was previously adsorbed on the carbon as a sodium or calcium/gold cyanide ion pair (2) is desorbed from the carbon by a reversal of the adsorption kinetics. Gold is recovered from the pregnant strip solution by electrowinning onto steel wool.
A cyanide solution (NaCN or KCN) is elevated to a high pH level (>10.5pH) so that free cyanide (CN-) will dissolve the gold in the ore. The chemical reaction is as follows: 4Au + 8NaCN + O 2 + 2H 2 O 4Na[Au(CN) 2] + 4NaOH In this paper we will look at the various mining processes and the role that pH control plays in the gold extraction process.
