Cyanide Leaching Chemistry & Gold Cyanidation
Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu (CN)2 + 4 NaOH. Cyanide Leaching Chemistry. In a relatively simple system of this type the gold dissolves readily. The only requirements are that the gold be free and clean, that the cyanide solution …

CIL circuit is a process of continuous leaching of gold from ore to liquid and counter-current adsorption of gold from liquid to carbon particles in a series of tanks. The CIL process concentrates gold from 2.5–3.5 g/t in ore to 2000 to 6000 g/t on carbon. Although the earliest process was in South Africa in 1890, CIP/CIL was first introduced ...

Gold CIL & CIP Gold Leaching Process Explained CCD
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where carbon is …

The gold cyanidation process is a primary method of gold beneficiation. Activated carbon is a critical component in the beneficiation of gold ore, allowing this widespread process to occur because of its ability to recover gold from the gold-cyanide complex.
