Factors influencing the rate of gold cyanide leaching and adsorption …

Mixing was more efficient in a stirred tank (Test 5, kK = 159) than in the bottle roller tests (Tests 2 and 4, kK = ∼90), and this translated to improved CIP performance. The predicted amount of gold extracted in each stage of CIP increased from ∼70% with the bottle roller kinetic data to ∼75% with the stirred tank data, and resulted in ...
