Reactors

The objective of leaching within a gold plant is for the lixiviant (normally cyanide solution) to make contact with liberated gold attached to suspended particles and dissolve them into solution. Once dissolved, the gold can be adsorbed onto carbon or resin and recovered.

Leaching

The principle advantages of heap or vat leaching crushed ore are the low Capex and Opex requirements compared to conventional CIL or CIP processes. Once ore has been crushed to approximately <5mm, it is then either heaped on a pad or deposited in a vat for leaching.
