Serial Hybrid Modelling for a Gold Cyanidation Leaching Plant
In this paper, a serial hybrid model of a gold cyanidation leaching process is proposed. The serial hybrid model consists of mass conservation equations of gold and cyanide as well as two kernel partial least square (KPLS) models, which are used as the estimators of the unknown kinetic reaction rates without the complicated kinetic model …

Cyanide process | Gold Extraction, Leaching & Recovery
cyanide process, method of extracting silver and gold from their ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide. The process was invented in 1887 by the Scottish chemists John S. MacArthur, Robert W. Forrest, and William Forrest. The method includes three steps: contacting the finely ground ore with the cyanide solution, …

Advances in the Cyanidation of Gold
To avoid hydrolysis of cyanide [Eq.(26.2)], leaching must be carried out under alkaline conditions: (26.2) CN – + H 2 O → HCN + OH – However, in saline water, such as in many cyanidation plants in Western Australia, gold leaching is performed at a pH below 10 to reduce the high cost of lime under these buffering conditions.

Gold CIL & CIP Gold Leaching Process Explained CCD
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where ...
