On very many gold plants, leach performance is directly determined by gold leach kinetics: Residence times are limited - often due to throughput exceeding plant name plate capacity.
This webinar covers various aspects of in-plant leach kinetics:
- Main process variables that determine the speed of Au-leaching in a leach circuit
- Quantification (measurement & modelling) of the various kinetic factors
- Optimisation of kinetic factors e.g NaCN & DO profiles, NaCN/DO ratios (determined by feed ore characteristics), Pb-nitrate dosage, effect of grind size (particularly UFG)......and the like
- Practical means by which optimization can be achieved – allowing cost-benefit analysis
