Cyanide Leaching Of Gold , It is not used much anymore, because most leaching is heap leaching, carried out in the outdoors, where drip emitters or sprays distribute the cyanide solution to a large structure of gold ore, called a "heap" And while the pile of ore is called a heap, it is not a haphazard pile of rocks...
Processing Gold Ores Using Heap Leach-Carbon Adsorption Methods UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR , Processing gold ores using heap leachsarbon adsorption methods / by H J Heinen, D G Peterson, and R E , in gold ores may range from less than 1 ppm to several hundred times the level of the gold present in an ore Generally ....
Agglomeration At times, the resource you're after is found in fine-grained-matrix material We perform testing analyses and design agglomeration systems to increase hydraulic-conductivity performance, while still allowing for the timely extraction of the resource you're trying to recover...

Heap leaching is a tried and tested mining technique enabling the processing of different kinds of ores which could not otherwise be exploited under viable economic conditions Modern day...
duction is recovered by bioleaching (Anonymous 2002) The heap leaching of low-grade sulfidic ores is the widest application of mining biotechnology (for a review, see Brierley and Brierley 2001) A typical solution from heap leach- , (wt/vol) suspensions resulted in longer leaching times and complete sol-ubilization of valuable metals was ....
For a heap leach, the key parameters that are defined in the laboratory are crush size, heap stability, permeability versus heap height, cyanide strength and consumption, the need for agglomeration and the amount of agglomerating agent (usually Portland cement) required, leach time, and percent recovery...
Time is an integral factor in the rate of extraction curve and influences the economics of the heap leaching operation Figure 4 shows the rate of extraction curves obtained from the 9 meter pad, a 6 meter (20 ft) column and a 3 meter column...
