Of those methods, the 'Cyanide Leaching Process' (Cyanidation), is the method that is commonly used the most often to do this. As the name implies, the main component in the process is a sodium cyanide solution. This article will give a general overview about how this important, 120 year old gold mining process works.
Leaching and adsorption: pump slurry ore into the double-impellers leaching tanks, there are always 6-8 tanks working togheter; add cyanide solution into first one or two leaching tanks, add activated carbon into the rest gold leaching tanks; activated carbon adsorb gold and become the loaded gold carbon, the loaded gold carbon lift into the ...
