Leaching Meaning
1. Cyanide Leaching. A cyanide solution, or lixiviant, is percolated into ore deposited in vats, columns or heaps during the cyanide leaching process. The cyanide dissolves gold, which is then extracted from the heap or columns. It is then removed by adsorption of carbon or resins from the pregnant leaching solution. 2. Ammonia Leaching
