Gold cyanidation method for extracting gold from flotation tailings

2022-10-31 XinHai Views (606)

It is a very mature process to extract gold from gold ore by cyanidation. The advantages of this process are saving investment, short construction period, quick effect, and long-term, safe, stable and continuous operation of the mineral processing project. Taking the 1200t/d flotation tailings gold extraction project undertaken by Xinhai Ore Loading&Unloading Co., Ltd. as an example, this paper introduces the gold cyanide process flow.

Gold recovery from flotation gold tailings

Overview of gold extraction project from flotation tailings

Ore property: the raw ore processed in this project is the tailings of the original flotation plant

Processing capacity: 1200tpd

Process flow: all sliming cyanidation gold extraction process flow

Main equipment: flotation machine, ball mill, analysis tank, acid leaching tank, liquid storage tank, adsorption column, thickener, hydrocyclone, submerged pump, linear vibrating screen, vacuum filter, etc.

Process flow of cyanide gold extraction from flotation tailings

According to the project contract signed by both parties, the design scope of the project mainly includes: cyanide leaching system, reagent preparation system, desorption electrolysis system, smelting system, etc.

The specific process flow is as follows:

1. Cyanide leaching system: the raw ore flotation tailing pulp is pumped to the thickener before leaching, and concentrated to 40% concentration before entering the cyanidation leaching system for leaching and adsorption to obtain qualified gold loaded carbon.

2. Desorption electrolysis system: the qualified gold carrying carbon is sent into the desorption electrolysis system. Under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, the anion easily adsorbed by the active carbon is added into the desorption system to replace Au (CN) 2 -.

3. Smelting system: after acid cleaning and impurity removal, gold mud can be obtained and directly enter smelting to obtain gold ingot.

After the design work was completed, Xinhai Mining Equipment immediately carried out the production and procurement of project equipment and accessories, and delivered the equipment to the project site through strict and standardized packaging and shipping process.

Highlights of cyanide gold extraction from flotation tailings

In combination with local terrain and local policy requirements, Xinhai Mineral Equipment Co., Ltd. carried out the process design of the project according to the actual situation. The design involves many disciplines such as mineral processing, power, civil engineering, general drawing, water supply and drainage and ventilation.

In order to complete the project and put it into operation as soon as possible, Xinhai Mining Equipment Co., Ltd. will go to the shift to produce and deliver equipment within the limited construction period, overcome the difficulties during the epidemic situation, complete the heavy project production tasks ahead of time at a faster speed under the premise of ensuring the quality, and effectively promote the project process.

The cyanidation method is used to re extract the remaining gold in the flotation tailings, which has achieved good results. Both the recovery rate and the beneficiation index meet the customer's requirements. The gold ore cyanidation method is known for its fast recovery and high efficiency, and is currently a widely used gold extraction method.
