Chemical sterilisation and vetiver grass performance on gold …

Land pollution at gold mine dumps requires sustainable rehabilitation. A study was conducted at Muriel gold mine, Zimbabwe to investigate the integrated effects of dump age, topographic position and soil depth on chemical degradation, and vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) performance. The triplicated experiment was set up as a split–split plot, where …

Heap Leaching Methods Explained

The leach solution seeps into the ore pile, reacting with the gold and copper minerals within it, and the gold and copper dissolve from the ore into the leach solution. After leaching is completed, the leachate containing dissolved gold and copper is collected in a sump or other container at the bottom.

Gold & Silver Leaching Methods

Dump Leaching Ore Preparation. Although waste rock from either underground or open pit mines is of too low a grade to warrant conventional milling, some gold or silver may be recovered by leaching it. If dumps are leached without additional ore preparation or transporting the rock to prepared pads, the operation is termed a dump leach.

Processing Of Gold-Bearing Sand,Dumps: A Case Study In Zimbabwe

In this article, we investigate the possibility of reprocessing gold bearing gold dumps for gold as a sustainable way of reviving the mining sector in Zimbabwe. Heap or vat leaching is a process that has been extensively used for the recovery of valuable metals like copper, gold (Au) and silver. The ore is prepared for vat leaching by either crushing or milling it into fine and deslimed material.

Miners around Zimbabwe used to supply gold concentrates from sulphide flotation to the Kwekwe Roasting Plant (Zimbabwe) for toll treatment. The concentrates were roasted in Edward's roasters and the calcine product was leached by cyanidation. Due to inefficient roasting, overall gold recoveries of 75–80% left behind a rich calcine leach residue at the Kwekwe Roasting Plant.
