A Study of the Relative Impact of Particle Size …

dynamics of gold leaching from a low-grade ore obtained from a Ghanaian mining operation with differing particle sizes in the presence of sodium cyanide lixiviant system. The recovery of gold and cyanide consumption as a function of leach feed particle sizes were studied by varying the leaching duration over 24 hours.

A review on the negative impact of different elements …

The ongoing depletion of gold and silver-containing ore deposits demands a shift towards the processing of more complex sources. Leaching of gold or silver from these sources, which are named refractory and are typically low-grade, can be complicated due to one or more of the following effects: (1) kinetic or thermodynamic impediments on cyanide diffusion or on the …
