Reason #3: There are cyanide-consuming minerals such as copper and zinc in gold ore. Some gold ores are accompanied by copper and zinc minerals, such as malachite, azurite, pyrocopper and sphalerite (especially oxidized sphalerite), etc., which have high solubility in cyanide solution. While leaching gold, they will “compete” with gold for cyanide and oxygen, thus hindering the dissolution
In addition, copper minerals are significant cyanide consumers, leading to higher cost in ore treatment. This paper presents a process to enhance the dissolution of gold using copper–cyanide solutions in the presence of glycine where the solution is cyanide starved. The effect of glycine addition on gold leaching kinetics in copper–cyanide
15.08.2020· The leaching tests of gold ore in the copper-citrate-thiosulfate solutions are performed under various copper concentrations, and the results are shown in Fig. 9. As can be seen in Fig. 9 (a), an increase in leaching rate and extraction percentage of gold is observed during the first one hour of leaching process when copper concentration increases from 0.01 mol/L to 0.2 mol/L.

With more FeCl 3 present in the leaching solution, more copper and iron were dissolved. The leaching percentage of copper increased to 80% with 0.5 mol L −1 of FeCl 3. In other words, 1 mL of 0.5 mol L −1 of FeCl 3 in EG could extract copper from 40 mg of chalcopyrite quantitatively. When further increasing the FeCl 3 concentration to 1 mol L −1, all the copper and iron were extracted

Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the
Leaching. Leaching involves the use of aqueous solutions to extract metal from metal bearing materials which is brought into contact with a material containing a valuable metal. The first examples come from 17th century Germany and Spain where it was applied to extraction of copper. The lixiviant solution conditions vary in terms of pH, oxidation-reduction potential, presence of chelating
In-situ leaching (ISL), also called in-situ recovery (ISR) or solution mining, is a mining process used to recover minerals such as copper and uranium through boreholes drilled into a deposit, in situ.In situ leach works by artificially dissolving minerals occurring naturally in a solid state. For recovery of material occurring naturally in solution, see: Brine mining.
GlyLeach offers the opportunity to co-leach copper and gold using a combined alkaline glycine-cyanide solution. Metal recovery is by conventional SX for copper and carbon adsorpt ion for gold.

Heap leaching is successfully used to extract gold, silver, copper, nickel, and uranium. The largest heap leach for gold is at the Yanacocha mine in Peru, second only to Veladero in Argentina. Heap leaching is used in tandem with electrowinning, for copper extraction; approximately 16% of the world’s total copper production is extracted in this way. The Radomiro Tomic mine in Chile is a

30.10.2014· Leaching is the selective corrosion in which one element is removed from a solid solution alloy. The gradual loss of zinc from brass (dezincification) is perhaps the most well-known example of this type of corrosion, but aluminum can also be leached from aluminum bronzes (dealuminification) and nickel from 70/30 cupronickel alloys (denickelification).
